    Fuel filter change 08 taco

    Ok I know we've talked about this before but I wanna talk about it again. So I already know 2nd gen fuel filters are inside the gas tanks but I still believe mine should be changed since my truck has 189,000 miles on her. There's no way that filter can stay clean that long? Any reason why Toyota...

    Rear drum brake repair

    So my Tacoma has about 186,000 on her as you know, and I like to make sure she's properly maintained. Has anyone here ever done their drum brakes? How can you tell when they are worn out? And is it true it's a bitch to do the service for it? Thanks.

    87,89, or 91 octane?

    I personally ran a test with each fuel type. I notice when I ran 91 octane on my 08 4.0l taco that I got better gas mileage, more power, and less engine noise. But 87 causes my engine to get noisy, have a bit less power, and has worse gas mileage. This is my observation. What do you guys run?
