    Dura Trac vs Cooper

    I'm putting the AT/W's on mine next week. It's a daily driver and I want an AT that's winter biased for the wife & kids. Had these Revo 2's on here since I had 5k on the clock; 61.3k today. Getting quite loud and noticeably less traction even on wet; so it's time. Hope the balancing aspect...

    Intermittent Turn Signal Fail

    Mine was the driver side, from about 1 year old it started acting up. I'd reach in there and move the wires and it would work again. After a couple of trips to the dealer and refusing to buy a bulb each time; they finally said leave it here for the day. Came back later and they said it shouldn't...

    Found a complete set with 4k miles; would they fit?

    Discount Tire, Broken Stuff, and Tire Lights....

    A crude explanation is that the 5 TPMS work together like a mini wireless network; with 1 different one now your 'network' is messed up. There is a procedure to 'sync' your TPMS sensors with the receiver in the monitoring system. I unfortunately don't know what that is; hope I was some help though.

    Anyone know which aftermarket leather kit this is...

    I have an 08 Sport Shadow Mica with Charcoal leather; bought new that way with the option. From my understanding only the Limited comes with 'factory' leather; everything else is swapped/installed per region at the port. I don't know what 'kit' they use if any.

    reduced gas mileage

    I'm in the same boat; also in StL. '08 V6 SE 2D; used to get 400+ on a tank, now registers 315 after a fill up. Sucks (g)ass. I've got 37k on it and it started going down noticably around 30k. I bought it new in Dallas and just recently moved up to StL. New plugs, cleaned mass air sensor, new...

    F'd up front bumper cover..

    Ouch; I'll have to look into repair/repaint. I didn't have quite enough clearance turning into the garage. Scrapped up the front right corner, a good deep gouge too. I might just change my story and call it a 'trail scar' and leave it for now. Thanks guys.

    F'd up front bumper cover..

    How much can I expect for a replacement on an 08 Shadow Mica? My guess would be $250-350 painted & installed.

    Calipers Frozen? You bet!

    Warranty Coverage? Are these caliper issues covered under the 3/36k warranty? I have extended coverage of 5/60k as well. I'm thinking I better have mine checked out; getting close to 35k. I've noticed some hard pulls to the right occassionaly in stop & go traffic. Not sure what is up with that...

    Spark Plugs Driving me Crazy!!!

    Replaced my OEM's on my 08 (34k miles) with NGK (6619) LFR6AIX-11 Iridium IX Spark Plug. Noticable improvements; straight from the box. More responsive, smoother idle and better gas mileage.

    30K Service - What's missing?

    Thanks. I couldn't remember, but it looks like some fingers were there today and since they had to remove the cover it was possible not all the pieces were put back.

    30K Service - What's missing?

    Maybe not a complete 30K; but had rear diff, plugs and oil change today. First tme posting pics, hope it works. Can anybody tell me if they forgot to put a part back on? Looks like something might of been here, but I don't know what, if anything. Oh and this Wix 51348 filter looks tiny. Put in...

    X-REAS 'seaping'

    Ok, here's what they said; it's normal. Who didn't see that coming? Todd (an SA) at Toyota of Plano for anyone keeping score, said they are self lubricating and a certain amount of oily residue is not uncommon and quite normal. So, I have a record on file now of my concern, and I am good to go...

    X-REAS 'seaping'

    No doubt. They are not going to get off that easy; I've got extended warranty too since this is my first Toyo. Leaving in a few to go get it looked at; report back later.
