    drain by oil filter in V6

    does anyone know the part number for the plug that is used on the V6 by the filter to prevent old oil from draining onto the engne block. Last oil change I dropped mine and like so many other things in this world it vanished. I know its not an important part, I could probrally get by with...

    Transfer Oil Change?

    originally posted by kanab: In 2004 for the 5 speed transmission they got rid of the transmission dipstick and went with the WS ATF. A good way to tell if you have the WS ATF is if you don't have a dipstick on your Transmission then you have the "sealed" transmission with the WS ATF. Hope...

    Nasty Noise on hard turns

    Yes, I too have experience the noise, but unfortunately do not know what it is.

    Portable GPS suggestions

    Did not see mention here so I'll add my 2 cents. Don't forget about the Magellan. The problems of the past have been rectified. I have the 700 and from what I've read the new 760's features make it even better. Very accurate, easy to use, nice size hard drive, and the optional dash mount is...

    Anyone ever try the K & N oil filter? Here is the link for those interested. http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=HP-1002 Autobarn.com has them listed at $9.44. I've had a seal let loose on a Mobil 1 filter and the description on these sounds pretty good. I just...

    Is There a Lawyer In The House?

    *** Again, have you opened the rear window and used full throttle untill it shifts to the next gear? I thought I didn't have this problem until I did this. *** In response to these questions, One of the first things I did was drive with the back window open. I had a 1989 K-5 Blazer and...

    Is There a Lawyer In The House?

    I don't see the need for litigation. I guess it just depends on your dealer. Mine did the service for the sulfur smell, the 2003 TSB even though my 2004 did not fall in the VIN pool. Stated its a volutary thing with Toyota agreeing to fix problem if customer complains and dealer observes it...

    Exaust smell

    Just wanted to pass on to all of you, My service manager basically stated Toyota still is not totally sure what is causing the sulfur smell problem. What he did say is for the 2004 and 2005 owners not covered by the TSB, if you make enough noise or get a sympathetic service writer Toyota will...

    Stupid Windshield--Are They all Crap???

    I'm not sure how things are up in New England, but in New York glass coverage is part of comprehensive and mine is a $0.00 deductible. As for worrying about your rates going up. This is part of comprehensive, its not something you did and not chargible against you. In New York at least this...

    Stupid Windshield--Are They all Crap???

    Don't know if it has been mentioned here yet or not, but I just talked to my insurance company. I told them I did not want a replacement windshield that was not a hydrophill when this is what is stock on the truck. The agent looked up my policy and stated I have 100% glass coverage and...
