fan assembly is less then 2 years old and very secure. It definitely sound like something suspension related since it happens mostly when the front end dips down at high speeds but now that my upper and lower arms were replaced, i'm running out of things to think of. Close to just replacing the...

loud, yes...to record it is incredibly difficult because like I stated. It only happens when the road drops a bit and you hear it for a split second when the front end dips.

Nope, I tripled checked that bad boy and all the clips are secure and I don't see any signs of rubbing. it also has plenty of clearance. I'm ready to tear my front end apart lol

Hey everyone, I did try searching around for similar issue but it was very difficult and couldn't quite find anything. So over the past month I've been doing an 80 mile round trip commute for work and only at highway speeds 65+ will I either hear it once, or hear several times during my drive...

today was CV Axle day. Boot was completely torn open so went ahead and swapped both while I was at it. Sure I could have re-booted them, but just opted for new and I'll re-boot em so I have spare(s) on the shelf at home =P next up is new front/rear springs and rear shocks.....maybe next...

I've read all the "wait" comments and just say I totally agree with them. This recession and the inevitable decline in used car prices makes it prime for buyers to just sit back and watch it happen before you jump. I would say if you must buy a car very soon, maybe just look around for some...

that's what I did and even though I saw almost zero debris come out, I was lucky enough to hook it all back up and sure enough I got my heat back =]

Hey Folks, so I've gone through a lot of vehicles in my years and never really had most long enough for various fluid changes (except like coolant and oil) My 96 SR5 Auto has 328k on it and I've owned it for the last like 30k miles....So far I've only done oil changes, coolant, brake and power...

Always love a product that has instructions stating once you're done to basically "get on the freeway and HIT THE GAS PEDAL" lol...it practically tells you to hit the freeway/interstate hard and then you're done :P my neighbor wasn't a fan of the smoke cloud in my driveway when I was running...

I'll just follow up with the others and recommend 33's. I currently have my 96 SR5 on stock control arms with tundra springs and bilstein 5100 shocks....the ride is definitely more rough then normal (since Tundra is much heavier) but it gets you that nice 2 inch suspension lift from the shocks...

Oh ok gotcha, yea I do typically go out during the cold months and let it run for 5-10 minutes because I just figure since it's an older vehicle, I should let it heat up a little before driving compared to newer cars where I'd check an email, pick a song and leave 1 minute after start-up lol...

Hey everyone, so I've been trying to diagnose this issue for awhile now but every time I do a cold start, I can smell gas fumes in my vehicle up until the engine warms up. So far I've already performed a smoke test, visually inspected fuel lines for leaks, replaced fuel filter, installed brand...

got off work early today so thought i'd knock out a few maintenance pieces. Swapped out the old O2 Sensors and the Fuel Filter. Such easy stuff when you're rig is already lifted....no jacks needed :P Took maybe an hour, could've been done faster but of course 1 connector just refused to let...

lol right? I definitely know it's not normal :P - so I just replaced my O2 Sensors since I have no idea how old they were, the sensors were pretty dark so looks like it was time anyways. Swapped the fuel filter because I had a new one just sitting around, going to clean the MAF Sensor this...

Roughly like 14-15 mpg? I get around 200 miles on a tank of gas and takes 13 or 14 gallons at the station. Apparently I have a "low fuel" light but it's super unreliable lol, I'd love to swap the fuel pump assembly at some point but I just don't have the space or tools to do it. In an apartment...
