You can also rinse down the underside of your truck with this when washing the salt off: http://www.gowesty.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GVW-32M&Category_Code=ac-e-saltaway I used this every other week during the winter when I was living in the east coast and it worked...

I had the same chirping noise you described. Their is a simple fix....Take a grease gun, go under your truck and pump some grease on zerk fittings on the drive shaft. The chirping is actually coming from the slide yoke on the shaft, so make sure get a good amount of grease in there and your...

As a former owner of a Supercharged 3rd gen, I can honestly say that the 3.4 was not designed for the supercharge. At least based on the SC kit that TRD sells......... You have to remember that these are aftermarket kits. They are not factory installed superchargers like those found on...

I understand that Octane is designed to lower the flash point of fuel thus reducing the chance for detonation. However, before Toyota adopted the new SAE standards of measuring engine power, both the GX and 4Runner had identical hp and torque figures. They both and the same 2005 VVT V8...

I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but the same V8 used in the Lexus GX470 has a hp and torque rating of 263 HP and 323lbft of torque versus the 4runners 260 HP and 306 lb/ft. The only difference I can tell between the two is that Lexus makes a disclaimer that the performance rating was...

Also if anyone didn't notice, the Lexus GX470 only lost 7hp using the new SAE rating. For 2006 its now rated at 263hp and 323lb/ft from the previous 270hp and 330lb/ft from 2005 (which was the same for the 05 4Runner). I get the feeling Toyota did some tuning tweaks to further differentiate...

I believe for 2005 the piston shape was revised.....

Re: Re: 2006 HP Torque ratings dropped for Toyota vehicles Well, if you look at Chevy's website on the Trailblazer, the same 4.2 Vortec inline 6 now puts out 291HP using the new power rating certification. Previously it was rated at 272 for the same engine.

Has anyone checked out the Toyota Website lately? Appearently the power ratings for the 2006 Avalon, Tundra, Camry etc. have dropped quit a bit. My guess is Toyota is now adopting the new SAE Certified Power ratings like GM and Honda. Seems like Toyota and Honda have been over rating while GM...

I wonder what this driver was thinking doing something stupid like this. http://www.elporto.com/index.php/car_flip/120/0/

You won't believe how unfair this comparison was. Enjoy! http://makoto.dyndns.org/membermedia/Hummer%20H2%20vs%20Comp.mpg

Another H2 vs the competition video! I can't help but roll my eyes just thinking about all the issues with this comparison, like the H2 using off road tires while the competition used street tires...... Anyways enjoy! http://makoto.dyndns.org/membermedia/Hummer%20H2%20vs%20Comp.mpg

You may want to try cleaning your MAF sensor. The MAF is most likely the number one culprit of any 3.4 motor. Also disconnect your battery for a few minutes to clear out the check engine light codes.
