Ok, so tonight i was cleaning my truck (95 SR5 V6 4X4) for a road trip i am taking tomorrow, and i noticed my passenger side brake light wasn't working, i knew the bulb had been replaced recently, so i smacked the light a few times, and it came on, but then smacked it again, and it turned off...

My truck did something similar, when taking off from a dead stop, it hesitated, and kinda sputtered, and also had really weird revs when driving through town at 20. I put Seafoam in the engine, and it solved all my problems. It cleans out all the carbon and crap that is in your engine. I feel...

so, the past few days have been bitterly cold here in Kansas, and whenever i have my 95 4WD V6 parked outside for an extended period of time (2 hours +) the front suspension pretty much starts groaning, whenever i move, it sounds like something is rubbing, i think its the brakes, as the sound...

I actually found the answer somewhere else on the forums, and got it replaced, and i know what you mean about the green light, but its not a big deal that it doesn't match the rest of the interior lol.

I've got a 95 Limited SR5, and i was able to just pull the panel right off no problem

I'm sorry i can't be any help, but mine (95 4WD) does the same thing you are describing. I have new axle shafts and everything. Its a very scary sound lol, BTW are you a Skillet fan? Great band......

Hey everyone, i was just wondering, on my 95 SR5 V6, is the HVAC panel supposed to be lit up? I swear it always had a light behind it, and now it doesn't, and i didn't know if i've been thinking wrong this whold time, or if it really does have a light behind it. Thanks!

We got the premium set, and turns out they were longer than the original set we bought, so we were able to cable-tie them to another wire that is about 1 inch away from the egr valve, so i really hope we have put this issue to bed.

Ya know i'm not really sure, the only commonality i found is the first time, i was pulling out of a drive, and it was on a slope, and the second time, i was at a stop sign that was on a sloped road, so i'm thinking that it moved it enough and just burned it, i bought premium wires (my dad was...

So a few months ago, i was pulling out of a gas station, and when i hit the street i noticed my 95 v6 was running really badly, shaking horribly, and sounding like it was missing, so i took it to my grandpas (he's a mechanic) and we found out that one of the plug wires had been burned threw by...

I feel kinda like a noob now, considering i work at a Napa auto parts store. I'll just probably buy some this weekend. I thought that stuff was just for degreasing, which i don't need, i just need a cleaner. What about Simple Green? I have that laying around at my house.

So i live on a rock road, and love to pull 60 on rock roads in my county, however doing this has given me a pretty dusty engine, i see some on eBay that are shiny and flawless, and mine looks like crap. I hit with a slightly high pressure sprayer the other day when i was washing the truck, did...

Where is the VIN located on the T4R? and if there is multiple, which should i look for? I want to make sure its accurate in case the PO had major work done, like dash replacement or something.

Ok, so i hear the '95 3VZE V6's are bad for Head Gaskets, so i have a few questions 1:) How would i know if a Gasket blows? What to look for? 2:) How can i check if the Gasket has been replaced under recall? (i have no idea what the PO did to the vehicle) 3:) If it does go out, how much is it...

I bought mine with 91,000 miles on it, and now it has 112,000 on it, after 2 years, and i haven't had any problems (knock on wood) my A/C compressor was locked up, but besides that, no head gasket issues, i don't know how well the PO took care of it, i don't think very well, so maybe he got it...
