Sorry for not responding quickly, but thank you guys for the suggestion, sounded promising and I tried it right away. To my surprise the sensor was very clean visually, but since I was that far I cleaned it off anyway, no luck. So I still have not set the thermostat under 72 this summer and its...

So I have a '05 SR5 V6. Normally, I can keep the inside temp. setting at 72 and be very comfortable, other than on a hot day, or a cold day, just to get the cab comfortable quick, but then 72 will do it. Last summer on a hot day it would work well and I would put it at around 68 most of the...

The oil pressure guage sounds like it is reading correctly to me. Check your coolant level, it likely needs more. Change your oil and check for water in the oil, if so head gasket, if not it is leaking water somewhere, and may only be when you drive and evaporates, keep it running and look for...

Listen carefully to the manual transmission. 5th and 3rd gear start to sound pretty bad when first, then you lose the rest of the gears later. It is usually just bearings inside, costs about $1000 to rebuild professionally so throw that into the negotiations. Good luck

I would start by looking at the power steering pully, there should be a nut holding it on, maybe that fell off then the pully and belt came off? A/T temp light and engine light...I don't really know, I suppose it could all be interrelated, but don't know what a missing bolt would do to mess with...

I'll try today, it pretty much looks just like yours though...

I just got my softtopper last wednesday, and am more than happy with it. After 1 week I am very glad i bought it. I've already driven at highway speed and found what others have said to be true, no leaks, good visibility. Also for the price, I can't imagine how much nicer a can back must be for...

I just did a sport hood on mine, because the paint on my hood was pitted from road debris pretty bad. It was easy as mentioned above the insulation is the only major problem, haven't figured out if I am going to buy the sport one, or modify my old one. I for sure need to get the plastic...

Thanks, it wound up being just over $500 for everything No. the sprayers are just clipped in, so they pop out of the top, then undo the hose from them. the hose is secured to the hood with 1 plastic clip then gently pull it out. putting it in the new one is easy because it doesn't have the...

Here are some pics. hardware and hood scoop parts in the first picture

New that was coming...I have pics, just need to resize them, I'll get them soon sorry

I've been interested in the sport hood for a couple years now, and have seen the same deals online as you guys have, cheap hood with expensive shipping, expensive hood with free shipping etc. then everyone has wildly varying guesses on how much it would cost to get it painted, and nobody quite...

did your brake light also turn on when your charge light came on? both lights on is an indication that your alternator is bad. Otherwise, make sure the belt is tight, and your connections are clean. If everything checks out, go to Toyota and get a toyota remanufactured unit. They are a little...

Paper clip (T1 & E2?) and make sure your key is in the "on" position

okay, you are going to laugh but just try it for me...People with those old 3.0's mash down so hard on the gas pedal without realizing it when they are passing or climbing a hill, that it actually bends the pedal assembly a bit. So by hand bend the pedal toward the driver seat just a little...
