I have access to 3 Toyota Dealerships within 40 miles of my home. Call your local dealers up and tell them you are shopping and see what kind of deal you get. I bet you will be surprised at the price differences. Just make sure you save the invoice and you can put it in yourself. It's a...

Are you opposed to the Toyota OEM battery?

Okay, I understand it will work. But, I haven't installed it. Which one is supposed to be the "correct" size? 24F or 35?

I'm confused. I went to Toyota to get a battery for my '02 4Runner. He said it made a difference if I had a '03 vs a '02. I get in home and it is smaller than the one in it now. The dead one is a 24F and I "think" he sold me a 35. The one he sold me is about an inch smaller than the dead one...

You go and have your speedometer calibrated at $49. There are garages that do this. The county I live in will automatically give you improper equipment if you are one mph off in EITHER direction. You still pay the fine but the local judge understands the effects tickets have on insurance...

The only problem is that I think it was overfilled before. Also, I am using Amsoil ATF and believe it or not, it is hard to get the fluid hot. THis makes me think I may overfill it by adding according to the dip stick and get it full but in actuality the fluid has not gotten hot. I guess I...

I am confused. I went out to drain some of my ATF and replace it. 4Runner had sat overnight and I got 5 1/3 quarts out of pan. The manual says I should have gotten 2 quarts out. I am going by the dipstick and have added 4 qts and it is just now in the "cold" range. I run through the gears...
