Wet ignition Sumo, my guess is water contamination to the ignition system, probably your plug wires. Whenever you want to wash your engine, it should be warmed up and running before spraying it to diminish the chances of water penetration. Others may flame me for that suggestion, but I have...

Price? Stevie...hang in there on your asking price. Trucks like yours are being advertised for anywhere between 5 and 8k here in the Midwest. I realize your market is different because of the lack of snow (as you are obviously aware) but that doesn't mean there aren't buyers who would travel...

+2 Master cylinder fluid level

Goat, are you good (meaning experienced) with tools and have a service manual written specifically for your truck available? If not to either question, I would recommend you take it to the dealer for a system diagnostic. There are a number of circuits in the SRS that can fail or give false...

I would kill the cats personally...make 'em go sleep with the fishes! Seriously though, did you reset the ECM or "clear the codes" after replacing the O2's? If so, how long did it take for the CEL to respond with a new code? Minutes or days? If minutes, I would say look at your wiring. If...

+2...this works!

ZoSo... I gather you're a Zep fan huh? :guitar3: I'm curious about your tool selection. Are you trying this with a 3/8" ratchet? I would use nothing less than a 1/2" breaker bar...3/4" if you can afford it, a six-sided socket, NO reducer, and then a cheater pipe! Here is a product that I was...

Remanufactured? Just an FYI...the re-manufactured racks are OEM Toyota, hence the reason for the core charge or the requirement of an old unit being traded in. The reman company takes your old rack from you, rebuilds/replaces all of the necessary internals to OE spec's, installs new inners and...

Does your engine burn oil? : No How many miles? : 200k+ What Engine? : 3.4 What Year? : 1997 How many owners? : 3 Does anyone who burns oil use Lucas Oil stabilizer? Other "cure all" products perhaps? I grease my zerks with marine grade lubricant...probably overkill but it's in the gun already...

The hand-held device that activates the power door locks and alarm system. Hi Blondie...what trouble are you experiencing with the system in its current state? We need some symptoms to offer up a diagnosis. I would NOT install an aftermarket alarm system...let us help you find the problematic...

Ron...your truck is gorgeous! The wheels look brand new! I can see you put a lot of effort into keeping her in a shiny state. I love the clear lenses and the moonroof/window/hood visors...I want to perform those mods soon... :trophy:

Here are the parts... Advance Auto Parts: Rack & Pinion by Fenco - Part RP2373 Advance Auto Parts: Search Results for tie rod

Using old steering parts? Hey IzzardKing, I was waiting for others to chime in, but no takers yet so I will offer an opinion. Do not waste your time and money on a salvage yard/used rack and/or tie rods! There is a saying that goes..."Don't spend good money after bad." If you are going to do...

Fuel Danger Fishrod, you're on a slippery slope whenever a potentially open fuel source and high heat are in close proximity. I don't wish to sound too "alarmist", but I would suggest you take your truck immediately to the professionals and have your fuel system serviced. The normal operating...

Replacing a steering rack? Sumo, if you are even remotely adept with hand tools, you can replace the tie rods yourself and save much money in labor expense. When a rack goes bad, it is usually because of leaking seals, which show up in the form of ruptured bellows and/or difficulty steering due...
