Bridgestone makes a whole lot of Duelers and you need to be a lot more specific about which ones you have and do not like now? The OEM model are almost universally hated but the Revo which I have had on several trucks are great as an example. Notice too that your question has really just...

They can also sort of wiggle lose at times,I just tapped on mine strategically and it came back to life? And yes it was right after replacing the radio too. the socket does not grip them all that tightly.

The belt is not broken but they said it seems to have slipped and has some kind of debris in/under and around it,whatever this means? The Serpentine belt looks fine and I just thought at first that maybe the alternator had died as the battery was so dead right after the motor stopped that it...

It seems the bad or leaking Water Pump is the only reason I have heard so far for a Timing Belt to break. Any other possibilities?

Thanks Thats what I will be doing Monday . Like I said I have a trusted independent shop that is pretty great, many Mercedes dealers send problem cars to him too. So I had hoped for more from the Dealer that I took it to first but I have some hope that there might be options based on a...

This dealer has never seen this truck. They had nothing to do with it until I towed it there on Tuesday as they were down the street from where it died and I have history there already too. The only info in the Toyota system about the truck is something from a different dealer from years ago...

OK I got more detailed info from the dealer I think. I have no history for this truck really and neither does Toyota aside from a few oil changes and code pulling a few years ago. There is no sticker indicating a Timing Belt Service that I can find. The Belt is not broken but there is some...

I bought a used 08-V8 around XMas time with about 108K AWD Sport and I drove it extensively and had it run through a dealers shop first too,not a Toyota dealer. It seemed fine and above average all around. I drive it some nights it is not a primary car for me or daily driver. The other day I...

I am looking at Old Man Emu kits and it seems like for around $900 everything ships in one group. There seem to be several all inclusive kits for sale really. You only need to disconnect the XREAS shocks near the shock itself and replace the shock while reusing the factory springs at a minimum

I also was astonished by the size of the harness that goes with the maestro and the thing should really have all connections on one side and labeled in any way for easier cramming in there of the completed harness.If it was laid out differently it would be easy to slide into an empty space. I...

Radio Swap!

Kenwood DNX573S & Maestro RR to make it all work. I was not planning to do this just yet but......I was in a Best Buy the other day and found this Kenwood so cheap that I could not resist! Imagine that? I have been installing A/V since the 70's and this is one that I do not want to do again...

I was driving the other day and it was 2 degrees outside but the 4runner is blowing cold AC........WTF?!? No working cup holders and almost no place to stash anything in reach. Single lighter jack. Odd no room seating position for the driver without my head being outside the sunroof. I want...

Well Today I drove the Sprinter And then the Element before the 4runner!

On my version of the tiny jumper you have to connect it and then press a button to let it jump for 30 seconds and then it turns off so no this would not work as a battery for you that way. I don't think yo would want to try this with a bigger one either really as I imagine the SLA battery in...
