I change my own oil and advance auto parts almost always has oil change bundles, 5 qt jug of oil with filter for $38. I found a filter in the shed I'd forgot I had so this oil change coming up I got my oil at Walmart. I don't usually get my oil from Walmart because they don't have a steady stock...

Could be the heater fan being loose on motor shaft, seems to be a common wear issue according to you tube.

Can't fix stupid.

+1 I only wore one because it was required by corporate.

I've had no problems with my 2019 sr5 other than the issues covered by recalls, didn't even have problems with what it was recalled for, just got them done. The biggest thing to look for is frame rust. Here in NC there are a lot of vehicles showing up on the used car lots from up north. Dealers...

Took the cover off the tailgate today to see what I could see. Everything was intact and upon cycling the lock it did just as it was doing, it would always lock but only sometimes unlock. I sprayed some dry lube on the slide bar that kicks the locking mechanism one way or the other and...

On my SR5 it was an option installed by Southeast Toyota Distributers, just like my LED fog lights.

I'd check neutral safety switch. It won't throw any codes and doesn't do anything with dash indicates, what it does is keep you from starting engine unless transmission is in either park or neutral.

I'm thinking it's in the linkage because you can hear the solenoid activate, it's always been really loud. It's either that or it's been self induced by me in these cold mornings we've been having. I'll start my truck in the morning to defrost a bit and use 2nd key to lock the doors while it's...

Yeah, it's really not that big a deal, it's more of just an agrevation factor, knowing it should work but sometimes it don't. When it warms up a bit I'll take the cover off the tailgate and see what I can see.

Has anyone noticed their tailgate not unlocking at the same time their doors do? Is there such a thing as it getting out of sequence with the door locks? Sometimes I will have to unlock mine with the key, other times it will unlock with the remote and the doors like it has always done previously.

If you're talking about the plastic beds in the taco, cargo slides all over the place. My first purchase was a bed mat.

I took mine off for awhile but wound up putting it back on. Mine, a 2wd sr5 seemed more twitchy on windy days or side drafts from big trucks. I liked the looks better with it off but settled for a little more stability. You shouldn't have to take it off to get to you're skid plate bolts, it's...

This is just a personal view but I think any problems with the metal canisters are user caused. I think people think because it's a metal canister they can or should tighten it down tighter to avoid any possible leaking. They don't understand that the sealing surface is the o ring on the side...

I've had my motivx for a couple of years so I would assume it's the old design. I've never noticed any issues other than I have to be careful to get it lined up right so it fully engages the filter canister. It will grab the canister without being fully seated, probably enough that you could...

In 1966 when I bought my first car, a new VW beetle $2001 cash off the showroom floor. Gas was $.26 a gallon, could not get $3 in the tank. Smokes were $.25 a pack and I was making $2 an hour part time while I was in school. All these years later are we really any better off?

JMO, I would buy new, ya never know what the used one has been thru or how it's been maintained. Now the price difference isn't that much either.

I just watched a utube video from Car Care Nut, he's a certified Toyota tech. The one I watched was about spotting counterfeit Toyota filters and parts, very informative. Just because the box says Toyota doesn't mean it's an OEM filter or part.

Sounds like one of those quacks that thinks they can see the future. Only thing is he's got it backwards, talking about the past,

Have you checked crankshaft dampener pulley? Years ago Jeep had an issue with the pulley shifting on the dampening ring which would mess up alignment and cause belt to squeal.
