    Oil change

    Just a supporter of those that follow manufacturers recommendations for oil changes. My 2016 V6 developed a low oil pressure issue. After replacing an oil sending unit I got the attention of the warranty department at corporate. The dealer sent my oil out for testing and wanted to know my...

    The dreaded Tacoma door clunk

    Oh geez...... But your story has a happy ending. No more door CLUNK and a 1/2" combo wrench to boot! Hope it was a snap-on.

    The dreaded Tacoma door clunk

    After I removed the old door check I found that the plastic guides (inside of the door mounted end) had worn to the point of not properly supporting the check arm. The worn guides allowed the check arm to come in contact with the window regulator (when the window was down) and the door was...

    The dreaded Tacoma door clunk

    My Tacoma developed the dreaded "Clunk" while closing the driver door (with the window down). I ordered the door check assembly (P/N 68610-04030) and while installing it I discovered that the bolt on the door frame side of the door catch was just spinning as I tried to remove it. (due to the nut...

    Broken screen replacement for Premium 7" screen

    I paid $67.58 for the display and $77 shipping. I got the screen pretty quickly and it functions exactly as the original. The seller said that he had seen this issue before with the LG screens. I reached out to LG and they acknowledged this as being a rare issue. Since I already paid for and...

    Broken screen replacement for Premium 7" screen

    It says it includes electronic components. They have a clause about damaged mirrors and displays. I think they just don't cover displays no matter the fault.

    Water Condensation Passenger Floor 2002 Tacoma TRD V6

    There is a pan under the evaporator that has a drain line that runs near the passenger side front wheel well. You will see random black hose that sits over your frame. Run your AC for a few minutes and see if there is any water coming from that line. If not then you may have a clogged evaporator...

    Broken screen replacement for Premium 7" screen

    So I damaged the LCD on my 2016 Tacoma. I brought it into the dealer to get a price on a replacement. I was told that the technician didn't see any signs of impact or abuse to the unit so it should be covered under my extended warranty. The touch function still works and the radio works normally...

    CB Radio

    Just a late thought to this thread....... I got back from off-roading with a group in central California and they were all running 2 meter radios. To be legal for transmit you need to be licensed. I am in the process of getting my license because it is worth it. Everyone in the group sounded...
