    CEL, VSC TRAC, and VSC OFF lights on Please HELP!

    suggest a search of amazon for a code tool and tester.. That is such a rip-off cost, cause the tech takes his computer-laptop or whatever, plugs it into the system and seconds later, BINGO!! Seen it done. Sort of like you want a new key? That will be $120 for the key and $120 to program it...

    Bilstein says, "we do not make shocks that can be used on an ex-XREAS system."

    Just do not want to get sued.:hiding: Surprized they sell any shocks anymore, for an SUV or pick up truck. With a higher center of gravity, suv and trucks will roll over if you are careless-not matter what is or is not done.:driving: Indeed, a sedan with a low center of gravity is very tough...

    Higher octane vs lower octane gas

    that is right, it is all about personal experience, but I will say that I went to regular gas years ago. What I have noticed is that the engine might run a little rough, so about every month or so, I run a concentrated amount of Sea Foam through the tank. The roughness clears right up. My...

    Has anyone tried adding a water seperator fuel filter?

    As a result of the thread about fuel mileage, I began to wonder about adding a fuel filter that will seperate water from the gas. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/100956-horrible-gas-milage-my-04-getting-12.html#post979879 Has anyone tried such a filter? What was the result?

    the horrible gas milage my 04 is getting

    Some links to gas problems. Personally, my guess is that if you use pure gasoline, such as racing gas, you would see a big MPG improvement. I also wonder about the effect of this stuff on the O2 sensors. Gas has gone crazy over the last ten years as to quality and price. I bought a turbo f250...

    the horrible gas milage my 04 is getting

    Oh, yeah, E10, you are lucky when merely lowering gas mileage is all it does.:banana: Called ethanol to make it sound like it it ain't alcohol that turns into water if it sits around too long..... :toilet: I would add that it is very important to keep fresh gas with E10, because it will...

    Toyota of Dallas (STAY AWAY! FAR AWAY!)

    Parts are very good; their sales people are bad but not nearly as bad as the "Sport City" toyota dealerships that populate the DFW area---those sales guys remind me of Saturday Night fever and I almost can hear the Beegees screeching out the title song as they strut and try to lay their stuff...
