    Rear Speakers not working

    Doubt anyone will see this but just checking for help So my rear door speakers and liftgate speakers stopped working. 2011 TE Fronts work fine. Checked a bunch of things including fuses and looking behind head unit. Checking if I unplugged lift gate speakers. Turns out the rear left door is...

    Any Full brake kits available with coated rotors good for offroad?

    Aloha guys, I'm looking for a full on brake kit for my 2011 Trail Edition. I like the idea of the Powerstop Z36 but I don't want drilled and slotted rotors, I do enough offroading and just driving on dirty, wet, sandy roads that it seems like a bad idea. I also just got a rooftop tent that...

    Let's play what's that sound....?

    Here's the drain plug and some of the plasticky bits I found in the oil. Yes I cleaned the catch pan really well so I know it wasn't there already. Although when draining the oil I pulled the magnet (new plug) and popped in the old plug so I could inspect the new plug. In doing that I definitely...

    Let's play what's that sound....?

    Hey thank you so much for replying! I think I've narrowed it down today. I had my wife adjust the throttle while it was in drive till it made the sound and then I crawled around under neath with the mechanics stethoscope. What's interesting is by ear alone I hear the sound at the lower oil pan...

    Let's play what's that sound....?

    I’m 99% just AC it was running for a while and it’s very hot and humid where I live. I will check it though. It’s got an extension tube so it drips below the frame instead of on it.

    Let's play what's that sound....?

    In need of some help chasing down this sound. I hate to say it but it sounds like it's coming from back of motor by oil pan/trans. I only hear it when the truck is in gear and given light throttle. So it's under load. I can't replicate it in Park or Neutral. Only in Drive/Reverse. It's driving...

    Cause for concern in 1GR-FE

    Well looks like some good news from Blackstone anyway. All readings are below average. That with the inspection I did with endoscope is really pointing me towards over all OK inside TC at least. I'll be doing another oil change soon to see what shows up and will check with magnet and see what's...

    Cause for concern in 1GR-FE

    Thanks man, ya I'm getting used to it. It's partly that I had a 2nd gen 22re with flowmaster 40 so the only time I really heard the noises of that thing (other than every time I drove up a hill) was when I was under the hood or when something was really wrong. I've spent some time using an...

    Inspection window (timing chain tensioner window leak)

    So I know this has been covered in most respects but I think I’m asking a different question. I opened my cover (small inspection cover over timing chain tensioner) to inspect the timing chain tensioner with a scope. There was no leak to begin with and I purchased a new gasket. Followed Vikings...

    Change the timing chain tensioner through the inspection port?

    Hi guys I'm still figuring out if this is my issue but I figured I'd post the question because it's starting to look more and more like it. So I've had a little noise from my engine around 1500 rpm it's most noticeable. I also found some small flakes of metal when I changed the oil last. I...

    Cause for concern in 1GR-FE

    Meaning engine doesn’t feel down on power… I get your point. But to me coming from a 94 22re this thing feels like a beast hahaha. Personally I’m content with the power to weight of this vehicle. If I started adding bumpers winch huge tires I’d probably feel different.

    Cause for concern in 1GR-FE

    I did get a kit from blackstone labs and will send some of the oil from the last oil change soon. Intrigued to see what they say. Just want to add that other than this noise the truck runs like a top. Idle smooth and plenty of power.

    Cause for concern in 1GR-FE

    Ya I need to get a good recording. I keep trying but get important calls, or have some other thing come up and the recording sounds bad. I'll try to get one this week. I also picked up a mechanics stethoscope so will poke around with it and see what I can find.

    Cause for concern in 1GR-FE

    Ok so quick back story. Truck is a 2011 and had full Toyota service record. I bought it with 70k on it and I have done two on time oil changes as well as change every other fluid. Since I got it the truck has had a whine around 2k rpm more noticeable in lower gears and under load. I did a...
