    new pcv valve + hose ... aged 27 years

    Don't try to pull it off the fitting. Use a good sharp knife to make a slit parallel to the hose centerline. Then loosen with a pair of slip grip pliers by gently rotating the hose. Now, you should be able to easily peel the hose off the fitting like a banana.

    ? Gen2 Maintenance Required reminder light NOT triggering ?

    By all means, you must wait until the light comes on. Certainly, no need to be "forced oil change'. Otherwise, who knows what dire consequences may occur. If this is on the Gen2, then you are 1400 miles over the recommended OCI. If its on your Gen1, then just add a bit of oil when the level...

    ABS traction control Problem

    Traction Control is an adaptation of the ABS. If it senses a wheel with a different rotation speed than the other wheels, it will apply the brake on that wheel. Traction Control senses the faster wheel speed to apply the brake to that "fast" wheel. If your ABS "was a bit strange" without...

    ABS traction control Problem

    Jay, does your truck have traction control or ABS? If not, then don't be concerned. You won't have the problem.

    noticeable increase in fuel consumption, losing 50 tacoMiles per tank of tacoJuice... what is going on?

    You should go ahead with the replacement of the "spark plug wire set". Perhaps the spark is weak, leading to a slower burn in the cylinders creating a softer bang with a slow wave front, so less push on the piston.

    Throwout bearing making noisy chatter at just 10k miles... 8^{

    Assuming that is true, then it is very likely not the throw out bearing making the noise. Frankly, I don't think anyone on this forum, or any forum have the skills to give you the assistance you need or crave. Plus diagnosing your problem scattered throughout multiple posts is nearly...

    the pilot bearing...

    I would think its about time for your learning to begin by watching those "tools + aids" you keep referencing. I have said before, not sure which thread of the numerous conflated threads, the bearing MUST have a press fit on the rotating part with a slip fit in the stationary part. This is...

    Throwout bearing making noisy chatter at just 10k miles... 8^{

    Is this the bearing that was installed on the worn out, wallowed out input shaft? If so, was the shaft replaced? If not, then no surprise the bearing is shot already. Good luck

    the pilot bearing...

    Normally, a ball bearing has a press fit on either the inner race (shaft) or on the outer race (bore), NOT both. I do have a question 'bout Jay's Gen 2. Is the same guy handling the maintenance on the Gen 2 as on the golden Gen1?? Might be a common denominator here. FWIW, my Gem2 is pushing...

    the pilot bearing...

    Have you considered rolling up the windows and turning radio volume up a bit??? A bit of reality. You have an old truck with many, many, many miles with delayed maintenance. As with all mechanical things, they age, they get rattles, vibrations, worn out parts, loose fasteners, hard...

    the pilot bearing...

    Sorry, I could only add to the joker comment. But I can not disagree with the joker. Frankly, I think most of your trouble with the Gen 1 is self-induced or imagined. I haven't decided if you're actually this naive, looking for sympathy or just lonely hunting for attention.

    Squat

    South Carolina has made that modification illegal with increasing penalties for repeats. Eventually, losing the vehicle. I had a 2" squat in the rear with 1200 lbs of masonry debris.

    noticeable increase in fuel consumption, losing 50 tacoMiles per tank of tacoJuice... what is going on?

    Bull. I'm 5'9'', never have problems with headroom in my Gem2. I will occasionally bump my head on the WeatherTech window vent. Had an '07 Corolla for many years.....never an issue with space or headroom or getting in/out. You might consider bending at the waist.............
