I was pretty sure aisin was the OEM. I know toyota charges around $135 or so for the OEM and saw this one on rockauto. I wasnt sure if they were the same or not. The large difference in price is what made me question whether or not the one from toyota and rock auto were the same.

I've had 2 gates water pump fail me and the most recent only made it 13,000 before it failed. The first was under warranty and the second still is but I'm not wanting this to happen again. I'm not really wanting to replace the water pump with another Gates and found an Aisin on rockauto's...

Ghost, what brand did you use for the rattle can spray? I used some plasti dip on my wheels, chrome mirrors, and emblems but may end up trying the bed liner spray if that doesn't hold up. I'm thinking of doing my chrome bumpers but haven't yet as I figured the plasti wouldn't last too long on...

Mmmmm, my odometer cable is getting kind of jumpy.... I bet that's what is making my cc surge like it is. Didn't think of that. I've read the posts on lubing the cable but still am unclear of the best way to get to the cable and get it out of the back of the cluster. Is there an easier way to...

Hi, I have a 95 3.0 liter T4R and new here. I've have read a ton of info so far which has been of great help. I have used the search function for my related problem but have found nothing so far. I've been having cruise control issues and not sure what to make of it. The cruise control works as...
