thanks for the reminder. I got some time for another one of my cars.

took the air intake pipe off again and looked around. Hose on the elbow came off and fallen down. fixed now.

I replaced my valve cover gaskets and had the throttle body off. Installed everything back, but now I have a hissing noise while the truck is running. There is an elbow below the throttle body and that is where the noise is coming from. When i put mu finger on it the noise goes away. I cant...

So this is the kit i was thinking about buying from aircabinman from ebay. I already have the drive belts. Toyota V6 Trucks TIMING BELT+WATER PUMP KIT w/ Hydraulic Ten Genuine +OE Parts | eBay

Alright, I will do everything then. I don't work on Toyota much, Mercedes mostly. If I do everything, I don't need the tensioner tool right? Do I also need to buy the cam pulley tool? I had to use one on a 98 Camry.

Thanks. I will also get the tensioner tool. I was planning on just replacing the timing belt alone, even though I know you are suppose to replaced all the pulleys and water pump. You guys think I should be fine or just order the kit from aircabinman from ebay and do everything?

Which one do you have? How long have you had it? Still working?

thanks guys. I saw another thread, which lead me to Toyota parts website. Shucks were actually cheaper than aftermarket. Do they come with bushings and hardware, what about nuts and bolts?

1998 4runner lmt 6 cyliner. RR shock broke off. What do you guys recommend to replace it with? I went to advance auto and they had monroe shocks $25.99 ea and a $45.99 ones. Is it safe to drive with it broken? Its not hitting anything except metal.

sure. someone might find it handy.

Maybe its just a coincidence. Maybe he did do something. No sure way to tell, unless you know he had to remove anything fuel related or pinched/cut a wire. Stuff like this happens all the time, and not always the mechanics fault. I had a SUV come in for thermostat replacement. I did the job...

I have a snap on pressure bleeder, I'm guessing the motive works the same way. You have someone else pump while you bleed the brakes. You can also use gravity to bleed them. The way the snap on one works is, I take the cap off the reservoir and put an adapter on it. Fill the SO tank with...

I have spent $1800 total getting everything replaced and they started to leak again. I might take my axles there and have them press everything on.
