Timing Belt

What year/model do you have that you picked up that cheap?

It's a 2004 SR5 with the V8. I got it cheap because it had 147K miles and also the dealer tried to sell me a Honda Pilot with a bad tranny. When I brought it back to get my money back, we agreed on just swapping even the Pilot for the TR4 which was on his lot. I think I made out!

Wanna tell me how they did that??? There no such "legitimate" service.

I'm not exactly sure how but they said they used heat. Perhaps a spark plug was removed and the cat was heated up? Not really sure but I did ask if it was legal and an overwhelmingly response was "absolutely" by everyone who heard me ask the question. They did say that this will not fix a bad cat and the CEL may come on again. But since they didnt charge me...what the hell, right?

hey they even make stuff now that cleans the inside of your dishwasher

Believe it or not..that stuff actually works. Only need it for the front load high-efficient washers. We own a Bosh front-loader...And about 2 months after we bought it...it would really smell. We had to keep the door open to air out after a wash. When Tide came out with this product...we bought it...And sure enough it actually works.
