There is (or was) software out there that allows you to run Windows based programs on a Mac. It's called Bootcamp or Bootcamp Assistant. I've had Macs since 2011 and was going to install this but didn't. I believe it involves partitioning your hard drive, loading the program, then loading...

I think it depends - I'd first check that the fluid is still nice and red (not dark red) and doesn't smell burnt. If it looks good - I'd leave it alone. If you tow heavy loads often, then it might be worth it. If you decide to have it done, ask how they do it. It's pretty easy (although kinda...

Txc500 - that doesn't sound too bad. I had the same job done on my Tundra and it was about 1K about 18 months ago. BTW I grew up in the Rochester area ; Brighton actually!

Yes it would help I think. There is a thread where the switch was removed and taken apart, cleaned and resealed while waiting for a new part. Turns out these switches are not sealed or protected very well - hence all these failures.

Look up a post by Jeremy556 on 3/16/21 on the neutral safety sw. He has pics, part # and description on how to remove the connector and change out the sw. You can also search on neutral safety sw. There are a couple of threads on this subject. Cars from the North and East seem to hav this issue...

call the guys at Camelback Toyota or since you live in Phoenix - just go over there. They should be able to help you find the right part. I ordered parts from them for my Tundra and they were great.

First, I don't think the E-brake was designed for everyday use. On an a car with an automatic transmission there is no need; unless parking on a steep incline. To troubleshoot, I'd look up the maint manual here in the stickys posted by Nashman. It's for an older 5th gen, but I doubt there have...

The fixed running boards are attached by a couple of bolts on each end. You should be able to easily remove and straighten or replace the front and rear brackets if you want.

Some U joints don't come with zerks, but have a spot for one by removing a cap screw and screwing in a zerk.

I would check all the other wheels to see how much they are worn. What you describe is a seriously worn out caliper that should have been tended to long ago. If the others are close to that one, then a complete brake job is in order. If that wheel is worn much more than the others, then I'd want...

So, the question is, is the new MPX computer responsible for the rear door dome light problem? You could swap the old MPX computer back in and see if the dome light works; or troubleshoot it as a new problem. Seems like you know what you are doing with swapping things (disconnect battery to...

Since the OP hadn't replaced the computer, he/she doesn't know (or didn't report) that the issue was fixed. I'd do my own troubleshooting if it were me. I'd start checking the drains and look for signs of leaks and fix that first. If water caused the board failure, then a new board will fail...

After install, the steering rack will have to be filled with fluid and bled of air. Air trapped in the system will result in requiring more force to turn the wheel. The bleeding and force check should be in the rack replacement procedure.

This may depend on which kind of FOB / system you have. The keyless entry push button start may work differently than the push button remote lock unlock and keyed ignition I have in my 2013. However, folks in past threads seemed to have better luck (and cheaper) using a locksmith than going to...

The 1GR-FE engine is noisy; unless yours is making more noise than normal. Some folks here send an oil sample to Blackstone Labs for analysis. Some have posted their reports and they look pretty detailed. You could also install an analog oil pressure gauge so you could monitor oil pressure more...
