It never ceases to amaze me though how these shops and their techs and mechanics refuse to listen to vehicle specific info that the customer may have. Whether its the DEX III issue or someone trying to fill your PS reservoir with PS fluid instead of DEX III ATF like it should be. I suppose they...

This is very good to know bud, haha. Thanks as always. Haven't been on the forums in quite awhile but getting correct and unbiased information so quickly has always been one of my favorite parts about this place!

Oh ok, that def. sounds cheaper for the time being. May not be able to afford draining and filling repeatedly all five times to start but one or two should be fine for now. I am seeing 5 qt's of Syntec full synthetic with a Mobil 1 filter for 32.99. Seems like a great deal. Any suggestions...

So, after having my tranny cooler oh so nicely mixing my coolant and atf fluid two years ago, I had a donor transmission installed with 36,000 miles on it. I was doing some camping last summer in the moutains in Northern AZ where I currently live and had an ATF temp light come on. I've now...

Wheels and tires found for $500. Was their a cutoff year for no longer fitting our 3rd gens? These look really good and seem like a decent price. I need new rubber as well so this would take out two birds with one stone. Any thoughts?

Now that I think about it, Tacomas are leaf sprung, haha. I would assume then that it has been a Tacoma axle and not a 4Runner but has been set up for coils. Are the Tacomas the same axle minus being originally leaf sprung? Also, someone posted a link to an axle from a 97. Are there certain...

Found this on Craigslist. I assume this is a good deal? What all is involved with swapping. My housing is horrid and has had a leak for sometime coming from the top of the housing on the side where there would be the diff cover on most axles. Is it as simple as pulling my shafts and diff and...

Yeah, I'm thinking about using some sort of thicker type lube other than WD40. Want something that I can apply and know it will stick around. Maybe a white lithium grease? I'm kind of unsure how to turn the gear though. It seems like it's pressed onto the metal shaft almost like a wheel...

Update * I opened the servo up and did indeed find what I was looking for. The 25% of the gear that is used in operation has a good portion of it that is stripped away. I either need to order a new servo or turn the gear so I can use a good portion of it as only 25% of the gear is used in...

After pulling the servo from under the dash and connecting it back with the power plug while it is out, the arm moves freely 90 degrees or so when I turn the heat from hot to cold. I thought there would be some binding due to a stripped gear but it moves pretty good. I guess its possible that...

Thanks man, always a big help. Love the forums for this very reason :-)

Thanks Durk. I'm almost certain this is what it is, as I had the clicking early on in the problem. I found this link that was of interest with the clicking and the heat problems like mine. Grinding/clicking under dash - air mix servo - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums...

After having nothing but extremely hot heat all winter regardless of what temperature setting I used, I recently did the on board diagnostic check that is available if you have the digital heat/ac and came up with codes 21 and 41. The 21 code If I have read correctly can usually be disregarded...

Thanks Durk, I will try and see if my temp sensor is unplugged or possibly just not working at all. Like I said, all the buttons, lights, and fan speeds seem to work fine. The air is just constantly HOT!!

Anyone? Final Bump :)
