The entire electronic control systems "learns". Perhaps just resetting it to relearn might make the difference. It's pretty easy, google is your friend.

You answered your own question. Applying fuel slowly enough to avoid down shifting. It's supposed to down shift to avoid this. And, it's very had on the engine. Oh, and you won't save any fuel, in fact you'll prbably use more.

What you've got is a typically partially plugged radiator. The flow is actually greater on the sides and the center slowlyu plugs if not maintained. DO NOT!!! use a chemical radiator / block flush. As mentioned find a shop (especially with the cost of Vet radiators) or if you like spending...

Exhaust hanger or something loose in the cat or muffler.

I keep it simple. '20 Tacoma = Toyota, '82 CJ-8 Scrambler = Jeep & '78 LTD II Sports Touring Edition = Ford.

Not sure flipping the tire is a good idea. I did that on my work Tundra for exactly that reason. Needed the spare, dropped it and found the valve stem torn. Since I lower my spare every couple of months to check the pressure, and as mentioned keep things moving. About once a year I hit the...

While I have the original spare for my '78 Ford LTDII Sports Touring Edition (fairly rare) and it has never been on the ground, I wouldn't trust it to drive a mile after that long. Tires age in a trunk, under a truck I can't imagine. Either carry a spare in your bed, I carry a useable spare in...

There are a number of things that one can do to make it easier to operate/maintain your Tacoma. Here are a few. An electric jack, cordless impact for lugnuts, various sockets for the impact to accomplish other tasks. Hood struts, underhood lighting. I have and electric tailgate light that...

Struts are the answer. Take a look and all of the brands, they each offer something different. I went with the drill/rivetless option. Very happy. Another his if you have limited strength/mobility. It's apain to lower the spare much less jack up the truck and remove/replace lugnuts. For...

Look for tale tell signs of locktite. I've found bolts with red locktite. What were they they thinking. Blue is plenty strong enough for almost any task and can be removed without heat.

Here is sunny SoCal no such worries exist. And I like the look.

Mine is a two wheel drive sport. My wife is short. I just went with the Toyota steps. Look good and work for my wife. Oh, she tried them out on a truck at the dealer to make sure before I bought them. If I had a four wheel drive I would have looked at any of the known brand offerings that...

I rung BFG's on both truck and jeep. Great tires. But I have friends who swear by Milestar Patagonias.

Depending on your state, or the states you travel through, wheel spacers are illegal. Loose a wheel in one of those states, and your insurance will likely not pay.

Take a look at the power steering control valve. Sometimes they get debris inthem and then don't either open or close completely.

Take a look at Yakima products. They do have some mounts that do not require drilling.

Take some blue painters tape. Tape around the window and then drive and see if it occurs. If that doens't change things tape around the door and do the same. Window first because you either have to have someone in the car while taping or crawl across the center console. If you find it's the...

You take all the fun out of things.:rolleyes:

Applies to the DC system. Just for giggles connect an AC ground to a DC system. Report back.

The ground on an AC system is an earth ground. Kind of hard to ground an AC circuit when it's on tires and moves around.
