Bad rubber can be nauseating. I cant handle a tire store. FYI, we toured a modular home manufacturer in Tennessee last year, in the spring so not even hot out. Probably went thru 10 or more completed models and we both had splitting headaches. The use of vinyl products is very high, including...

If there is no pressure in the system, then just replace the hose and add approx 1/2 oz oil. Then it is time for the vacuum pump to suck it down to where you remove all the air and boil out all the moisture. Then you can fill with refrigerant when it holds a vacuum. The line you describe is the...

13 here too that cuts out occasionally. I'm wondereing how far to go. I find that the sound with everything set to center is still very bass heavy. Is that just me or the system? I realize a lot of you like a lot of bass, but this just sounds way too much. I would rather have cleaner highs than...

Just make sure it is never below the bottom line when cold. Simple as that. :biggrin1:

Good advice so far. I am black on black in South Florida and if parked in the sun, it will get to 140° easily. Trick is to roll down a couple windows for a few minutes and get the hot air out of there with the air on of course. Otherwise the air works well. For example, it's been 95° here for...

I had plastic rings on a previous vehicle and they broke into pieces when removing and installing the wheels. Switched to aluminum rings with no problems. Hubcentric is the way to go.

The OEM rail bases are without doubt metal, and from the looks of it, some sort of alum alloy casting. Toyota has gone beyond to add a beautiful black finish which may be confusing to the untrained eye. The purpose here on this forum, I presume, is to exchange as acurate information as...

The Oem rails are NOT mounted on plastic, those are just the trim covers. The actual mounts are a strong metal. Most avid campers, especially rooftop ones use pee bottles or urinals. Walmart has them for $2.28 apiece. The older you get you will find it more frequent. If happy with a $89 tent...

Be aware that almost all fuel injectors have internal appropriately sized filter screens. Contamination failures are rare.

Fuel will still always run thru the tank filter first, so I don't see how it's life would be extended.

Lots of different types of stainless. If staying within torque/size limits, breakage shouldn't be an issue. Always use an antiseize. Tef-Gel is arguable one of the best for stainless in corrosive and galvanic environments.

We did the Bilstein 5100 all around and it sits as perfectly level as possible. Fronts were in the 2nd groove, all OEM springs. You'll like the ride improvement as well as the look.

Couldn't find any info on being able to turn key to OFF position from ACCES to be able to remove it. Even had her disconnect the battery so the ignition shift interlock solenoid would retract in the ignition cylinder, but no joy. She had a friend play with it and he managed to get it to push in...

Thanks for the responses so far. I guess in the wee hours I linked the incorrect vid Here is the correct one as an example to see if the T4R has similar emergency setup. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWEJPf76oBQ

Got the alum no slot Motive, but had I known of this one, I would have gotten it instead. Won't find a stronger one. Only con for me is the 1/2" drive instead of 3/8". Most use won't require a 1/2" drive and there is the 15/16 hex for the tough ones anyway.
