I posted in the FOR Sale location inside his thread which likely would work as well as this. I ended up buying not only the rear gate window regulator but complete spindle and front 4wd hub assy. at a later date. I believe he mentioned he was hauling off the carcass after that? Regardless...

I worked for VW back when they introduced the Super Beetle with Macpherson struts. Brand new they had trouble with the vibration that mimicked wheel balance issues on every new vehicle and not cured by "just" balancing tires. In that era all OEM tires on VW's were Continentals. Unfortunately...

Thanks Thanks for the prompt service to Kauai! My son needed a rear gate window regulator for his truck. Deal worked out fine and even refunded me excess postage. Easy to deal with. Highly recommended by this buyer.

OK, follow up. Determining mine was a 2006 and not a candidate for dash I figured I get a repair quote. Dealer quoted $1235. out the door. I had already purchased all OEM Denso evap core, expansion valve, and drier insert so I posed the question of using my parts. SA came back with $755.00...

Yes, new valve, drier insert, evaporator core.. he said I'd be out the door with a new dash/ac repair for 1,000.00 which is what I thought was reasonable in the first place. Toyota a/c parts are in the $400.00 area. Anybody who is considering this as a project the 3 Denso parts are all...

I read the details and wondered this myself. It does in fact state only 03-05. I might be back on my way to HF to buy the vacuum! Still curious about the clamp tool though, or an alternative. I found this on Amazon.

Fact is I was on my way up to HF to buy a vacuum and I figured I'd stop by Toyota dealer for their estimate of charges. The SA was more than willing to extend this service to me and the total cost would get me down to the 1,000 area which seems reasonable to me. Thanks for the heads up... I...

Hey guys, first post, so Hello to all. I got a price on replacing my evaporator on my 06. for $1600. I figure this is a large labor project with a minimum of special tools or equipment. I've already ordered the evaporator and drier and also the expansion valve... all Denso and available on...

Just want to say hello and thank those who have taken the time to help everybody else. I personally own a 2006 with the V6 4.0L engine, 4WD. Bought it used from Michigan and put about 50,000 miles on it so far. Good trucks, hope to keep this one going for a while. Gotta love the Panasonic...
