    Starts then dies

    Try turning the key to the ignition position for a few seconds. Then go to start. If it starts and you can smell a rich exhaust.. it might be a leaking fuel injector. The leaking fuel floods the cylinder. Plus the engine doesn't have proper fuel pressure at start.

    A couple of easy questions ?

    Thanks IBall, It's a single axle trailer. the manufacturer says weight dist hitches don't work. I know the 3/8ths will work. I just waited 6 months for 1/4 NTP to 10mm barbs adapters to arrive. So the hose is my way to go.

    Mechanical Auto-Meter Temp Gauge. Help!

    Yes Kid V, they look identical. The probe on the auto-meter looks like, and is about the size of a .357 magnum round. The hold down nut is wider then the base in the picture. I will probably order an electric gauge, which has a much smaller probe. Does anyone know what size thread the sender...

    Anyone try gaugepod A-pillar gauges?

    This is not a direct fit pod. In my '99 Limited the (A) pillar plastic goes up over the drivers window. This stops at the roof line like my '01 Tacoma. You will need to make a perfect cut on your plastic. And figure out a way to butt connect them and keep them from moving.

    Sr5 or Limited

    IMHO Most Limited T4R's were purchased as a status symbol. Remember a '99 cost new over $40k. The buyer wanted to feel like an outdoorsman while toiling away in his /her cubical. They rarely saw any abuse. I called the original owner of my '99. She kept it garaged, never drove it in...
