First off, I did do a lot of searching but couldn't come up with the info to assist me. I have a 99 Sport with the RS3000 VIP alarm. I have the original owners manual for the RS3000 alarm for it so I'm sure that is what is installed and not the RS3200. Purchased it last year with no key fobs...

Sounds great. Only info I need is what size hose is needed to drain the fluid from the radiator. The info on how to do it is very helpful, just missing that one piece of info.

Thinking about doing this the way 004runnerLtd wrote about. Does anybody know the size of hose to use on the metal fitting from the radiator when filling up the quart bottles of old fluid? (inside/outside width). I realize I could figure it out once I get it off but trying to get everything I...

I have a appt. on 7/5 for the recall on the coils for my 97 SR5. Right now, to my eye, it looks fine. BUT, I am trying to get things done on it that I have procrastinated on. I looked over the posts on here and now I am second guessing myself. I sort of come from the if it's not broke...

He uses quality parts. He really knows his stuff. I let him work on my Honda s2000, which is kind of my baby and on my girlfriends Porsche Boxster (he REALLY saved me a ton on that one) with zero problems on anything. He's just a stand up guy, who is fair and is busy all the time, and with...

Thanks for the advice. I will talk to him about it. I talked to him, face to face earlier today. He is the most honest mechanic I have personally ever used. He won't do things that don't need to be done and sometimes almost makes me feel guilty with what he charges....a example of what kind...

I am trying to get a bunch of things done and get caught up on work my 97 SR5 with the 3.4 V6. I am lucky to have a good mechanic to take it too....he has his own shop and has been a mechanic for over 25 years. Does great work. Next week I am getting the following done: New Timing Belt/Water...

Cleaned my K&N filter and re-oiled it and vacuumed out the interior.

Thanks for the help. Just finished unplugging the clock and everything is back to normal. The clock, after I soldered it, was working great. But, I admit maybe it was a sloppy soldering job. I will check it out more later. I have been trying to get things fixed that I have been putting...

Not sure what is going on. I recently fixed a few burned out bulbs (3rd brake light, license plate light, front marker lights) and I did the solder fix on my non working clock, that now works great. BUT, now when I put the key in the ignition and put it on acc, the lights come on like I moved...

Forgot to add that I have a 97 SR5 V6 4x4 Automatic. 157k miles.

Don't post on here but like to check things out and get some tips and pointers sometimes. Recently did the deckplate mod. Still using OEM air filter. I would usually get 250-260 on a tank of gas if I let it get low enough to have to fill it up. (usually 15 gallons). Drove the usual places I...
