I had to replace the o-ring on mine too. I have the v6, but it looks like it is leaking from a hose. I was dumb and reused the old hose clamps and had the exact same thing happen. I caught it before I lost heat, I replaced the clams with stainless ones from lowes. Easy and cheap fix.

I miss the Panasonic battery. Heat killed it from a trip in the dessert, but it held on until the fall of this year where it was kind enough to die at a convenient time, A wal mart parking lot, and I wasn't in a hurry to go anywhere. One of the cells shorted out and my High output alternator...

Is DAC turned on? on mine, the switch is located on the center console. I was on a beach in 4Lo and my dog hit the switch and as soon as I let off the gas, it slammed on the brakes until about 5 mph and I turned it off. If it is, there is a green light the looks like a car on a hill.

Check the hinges too. Mine was bent from nudging a tree on a tight trail. I was able to bend it back by hand and it fixed it.

So back in June, I replaced my water pump as well as the thermostat, and the gaskets and o-rings for everything. Over the summer, I drove from North Jersey to North Carolina twice as well as countless trips to the shore and some towing. Never Lost a drop of coolant. Now that it is below...

181K. The diode Bridge failed and let out the magic blue smoke. The voltage started to jump between 12.6 and 13.2 every few seconds and then it quit about 100 miles later.

Just out of curiosity, what is the voltage of the battery when this is happening? When my alternator crapped out, my transmission started shifting funny and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree, except for the battery light ironically. My voltage was at 10.9 volts. I was able to make it home...

I did it for a month last summer. I sadly have not had the time to go anywhere worth writing about, but here is mine. I have an 09 and went into some of the mods and add ons I have done to it. blog.danielmaat.net

I also forgot to mention, checked all the battery connections as well as the engine and frame grounds, all clean and tight.

the fridge is wired to the Aux battery and that is isolated by a solenoid when the engine is off. I was reading the voltage from my Scanguage II through the OBD port. Engine was at about 2k RPM and nothing was acting weird. It was just the erratic voltage readings. I have an inverter that...

I have a 2009 SR5 with the v6. Yesterday I was driving and I noticed my voltage bouncing between 12.6 and 13.1 volts. No battery light. I did have a large load on it. Headlights, A/C full blast and the fridge was running. I have a Dual battery setup, but both batteries where reading as...

From what I can tell, It sounds like the EEPROM failed or somehow an error was introduced. The digital odometer in these uses a $5 chip to store the odometer readings. You can, with some soldering skills and a programmer, reprogram the chip and it is scary easy. Doing this is NOT ILLEGAL as...

Ok, mine is old, 3.15. I bought it probably over 8years ago.

I had the same problem. I flushed the power steering system with several quarts of fresh fluid. The old fluid was black and smelt burnt, but in my case, replacing it with new, fresh ps fluid fixed it.

$100 Bucks at Toyota World of Newton in NJ. At that price, I do it every year.
