    2019 Tacoma V6 spark plug boot connecter

    I think that set up is a coil on plug design. No boot to replace. You replace the entire coil on the plug. FWIW. Replacing plugs on my Gem2 V-6 takes me about 45-60 minutes.

    E.D.T.... every darned time

    Well....tell you what you could do. Center the steering wheel as you deem correct. Tie it down so it can't turn or shift. Lift the front of the truck, then place on a pair of jack stands. Use two wrenches, adjust those tie rods so you are happy. Put it back on the ground and take it for a...

    CEL = Check ENGINE Light. There is no CTL (check transmission light) I'd have all the confidence that a Ford and Dodge owner know the ins and outs of a Toyota Tacoma.

    I'm beginning to think along the lines that Tacojoel is dancing around. Fuel injectors probably need to be replaced. They have injected a lot of fuel.

    One more time for the impaired. OCTANE ONLY RETARDS PRE-DETONATION. OCTANE DOES NOTHING TO INCREASE HORSEPOWER.

    Hey, remember. If its not raining, no need to repair roof. When it is raining, it too dangerous to be on the roof. Problem solved. Glad I could help. ;);)

    Shop vac accessory

    Be mindful of the maximum current the shop vac needs. Most shop vacs have a peak current around 15 A @ 120 Vac. Nut sure if your truck can provide that much electric power. Keep in mind, the shop vac's maximum current is not during a plugged hose. Its at full air flow, wide open hose.

    Engine cleaning

    Yeah, my bike is 42 yo. Parts are scarce and expensive. Just got stimied on the engine rebuild. Found a couple of split, rock hard o-rings. Did manage to locate them. Had to order. $6.05 for 4 orings, the largest is 23x2.8. Gotta have 'em. Otherwise, it'll leak like a screen door on a...
