OK, did a little more searching around and found that information. Thanks for your reply. I also saw there was the overfill plug recessed on the bottom of the pan as well. Supposed to take that out and fill until fluid starts coming out of the overfill hole. I'd like to do this myself and...

Any updates on this? I happen to find myself in the same situation right now, except I pulled the plug myself. Didn't realize it was tranny fluid until I was out from under the truck. By then it was too late to get the plug back in before most of the fluid drained out. Anyone know how to get...

Intake Silencer Removal

That absolutely rocks. Awesome idea man.

*bump*

Thanks Pitbull.

I've done a search, but can't seem to come up with the information, so here goes: Does the 2005 V8 (VVT-i) have a timing belt still, or did they move to a timing chain for this engine?

Let me know what you find out. I have this same knock/rattle and it's driving me nuts. I think it's more than just the rear seat, but I will be trying that fix tonight.

I hear ya. Makes me wanna cry too, but hey, I still love my '05, even if it is only 1.5 months old...... Would really have liked to have:

Ohhhh, I LIKE!!!! Wonder what it would sound like on the V8??

That was absolutely incredible. Once again proves you can't fade the 'yota....

Thanks for the links, I'll definately check the site out. Unfortunately in my current living situation (apartment) combined with the fact that I travel from time to time for work, having a boxer (or any dog for that matter) is pretty much impossible. But you can bet that once I have the chance...

Yes, I've seen plenty of those videos. I'm not going to say it's impossible that one would hit their head on the handle in a crash situation, but I guess I would rather hit a rubber grip handle than to hit the headliner and the very hard metal underneath. BTW, I love your avatar. I had...

I'm 6'0", and there's plenty of clearance. Even sitting in the passenger seat (where the handle already exists), it would be pretty tough to hit my head on the handle unless I were tossed about the cabin (not likely if you are wearing your seatbelt). There were comments earlier in the thread...

Just placed my order with partznet using the part numbers listed in the thread above. The trick to finding the screws was to use the "Search by Factory Part Number" option, and input the part number for the screws. It seems the handle and the plugs are listed in both the collision and OEM...
