I had the same issue when programing my eBay key fobs. I used the same video and scrolled down to read the comments. Turns out theres a different protocol where you turn it to the On position at the end, not the ACC position. Everything else is the same. Here's the comment that helped me...

Yeah, noise is back and just as loud as before :/. It's not crazy loud so I guess I'll just deal with it for the time being.

Pulled the fan and found that a bit of the metal portion of the space the fan sits in was bent inwards. I didn't find anything else in there so I figured this had to be the culprit. I hammered it down with a screwdriver and reinstalled the fan. Noise has gone down a lot but still comes back...

I've had a buzzing sound with my AC that gets louder as I increase the fan speed. Could this also be the Blower Motor?

I use Loading... to find the best deals on Toyota parts. You give it a part number and it will give you all the places it is sold on the internet and its price. It will also include eBay but I usually avoid these as well. Serra Toyota in Birmingham, AL has been one of my go to's recently. They...

Option 2 is similar to what I went with several years ago. I believe I was in a time crunch and had never pulled the CV's, so I opted to have a mechanic swap them out with some cheapo CV's (TrakMotive I believe) and give me the original OEM CV's to reboot. The boots on the TrakMotive's tore a...

I second this. It will take a little more time but if you are set on having OEM quality this is the way to go.

Door Lock Actuators, Key Fob, and Skid Plate This past weekend I addressed my long standing door lock woes. About a year and a half ago both my key fobs went out. Tried replacing batteries, nope. About that same time, my door lock actuators started to die. First, I went down to Pull-A-Part...

Update on Transmission Here's the update if anyone's curious. After waiting around for a shop to get open for a second opinion, I got a recommendation for a bigger transmission shop that's been in town for years. Talked with them on the phone and they looked at it later that day and the next...

Transmission needs replacing Alas, I took it to a transmission shop and they believe the planetary gears have gone and the transmission needs to be rebuilt. I know a lot of electronic ink has been spilt on this forum regarding transmissions, but any help would be greatly appreciated This is...

Thanks to all for the help. Did some digging around under the truck and lo and behold the inspection plate / dust cover for the flex plate is completely missing so I suspect this might be the culprit.

Both are while not moving with the engine at idle and transmission in Park.

Pre-Trip Maintenance Help – Engine & Transmission Rattles Hey everyone, I’m getting my 2000 4WD ready for a trip out west and would love some input. I’ve got two rattles I can’t pin down: Engine area – slight rattle at low RPMs, not a loud knock or tick. Transmission – irregular sound when...

Hello all, I recently replaced the steering rack on my 2000 SR5. I am curious if there is a market for selling the old one. I have heard they can be a pain to rebuild but I don't want it to go to waste if someone would use it. Thanks in advance.

Interested in bumper. DM sent.
