Has anyone heard of a pending recall for our frames. I have heard through a Toyota employee that Toyota has started to stockpile 4runner frames. I think it is reliable info. Came from a truck driver delivering tundra frames to dealer. I had heard the same thing from a driver about tundras before...

I'm going to put my 2 cents here and I know someone is going to tell me I'm wrong. But anyway, I have worked in a Toyota dealer for over 20 years and I can shed some insight into why sometimes it takes multiple times to find a problem. A code in a system as most know doesn't tell you whats wrong...

Had a little fun today

Lots of good advice here. If you want to be precise then use a torque wrench. If you are looking for close, torque sticks are ok. When you use an impact gun all day you get to know it. Most techs can zip on lug nuts and not screw them up. When you have brake rotors that are "slip on" evenly...

Thanks for the info. Just picked up used set of stock tires but when I replace them I will go with the 285's

My company is Solar City. They take care of any repairs and I have an app for production on daily, weekly, monthly and total. At the end of 20 years I own everything, panels, and all equipment for $1. This was 3 years ago and I think some of the incentives might be different and vary by the...

What I am trying to get across here is that doing a proper diagnosis will end up saving money and or time on the repair. How do you know a sensor is at the end of its life if you don't look at the readings. They could last 50,000 miles or 250,000 miles. There are many places that won't even...

Yes, the cat must meet OEM standards to be certified. It is hard for me to trust some aftermarket parts working at the dealer for so long. I have seen many people waste money trying to guess at repairs or buy inferior parts. That is was is great about forums like this, you get a lot of input of...

The last part of my post says look at the readings. That will tell you whats wrong. When the sensors don't function they get contaminated. Like you said the root cause should be fixed before replacing any of these parts. I should have said I have seen more cats bad. Working at a dealer we see...

I have solar panels for just over 3 years now. I lease them. 20 yr then $1.00 to buy them. All repairs to any equipment is done at no charge. if the roof had to be done they would remove and reinstall 1 time free of charge. Its a 7.8KW system 27 panels. At this point at my electric rate I have...

The main cause of P0420-430 is a faulty cat. The reason sensors "fix" the codes is because the sensors and cat become contaminated. The new sensors work better and ECU has better readings. You will probably replace the front sensor and cat to correct the light. The front sensor buys time but it...

Going to give it a try. nothing to loose. Just take off if I don't like it. Thanks for the input.

Replaced the trans lines today. Rusted bolts holding the line on had to drill and tap and put new bolts. There is a lot of rusted bolts. The frame has rust but nothing rotting through like Tacoma's yet.

All good with them. Got in touch with me and is taking care of me well Thanks Pfran LED's
