I've heard the shell rotella gas truck oil is very good, however it's getting harder to find as time goes on. I've been using Pennzoil Platinum lately, which is a shell oil product. I've also used the ultra platinum but at times it's hard to get too. Since the new GF6 standard came out I don't...

Beings that you bought it used there's probably no way of knowing what gear oil is in the rear diff. I'd start by changing the gear oil and if you have a locking rear end make sure you put the additive in. My personal choices of gear oil would be Amsoil severe gear, Red line, Valvoline Syn, or...

If you bothered to read on the forum you might find some suggestions. A 20 year old 2 wd truck of any make will probably have suspension sag, even with no sag you'd probably need some form of lift to get bigger wheels, and then how much offset do you need so they don't rub. Probably everyone...

You can go to Advance Auto Parts and they can look up you're options. They have contacts with salvage yards to get take offs. We use this quite a bit for headlight, taillight assemblies and mirrors. The parts we've gotten in at our store you'd be hard pressed to tell them from new.

Welcome to the idiotic world of tic tock.

Let me say this, I'm not a professional mechanic. That being said if it was mine I'd take it to someone that knows what they are doing. There are a whole bunch of stuff other than just the horn that goes thru that clock spring, air bags, all you're steering wheel controls. We've had more than a...

Before you get all involved changing parts make sure all you're grounds are clean and secure. Several years ago I had a car that basically was doing the same thing, be running fine then all of a sudden just go bonkers, wouldn't half run and throw every code there was, even for stuff it didn't...

Toyota OEM. Oil is definitely blended by Exxon/Mobil, says so right on the bottle. JMO but I think it's a version of their old Super Syn, I don't know about the chemical analysis but it's the old Super Syn bottles with Toyota labels.

My headlights are halogen and my fog lights are LED's. That combo seems to work real good. My personal opinion is the halogens are bright but are a focused light so they don't light up the surrounding area.

I've had several different covers on my trucks over the years and they've all leaked to some extent. About the best you can say is they keep things dryish.

+1 on the OEM coil packs. I know OEM parts are more expensive but I see more and more of these aftermarket parts that just aren't up to the job. If you ever need knock sensors don't even think about anything other than OEM Toyota.

My gas mileage is all over the place, I've seen as high as 26 to low of 9. Granted the low was when I got into it and was at 6000 rpm but I quit worring about it. When it gets low, I fill it up. Be Happy.

No, haven't really persuade the issue, I just figured that was the way it was supposed to be. The taco headlights are mounted higher than a car and with the halogen headlights i figured they were purposely aimed like that as not to blind oncoming traffic. I very well could be wrong but that's...

I've noticed this on my 19 also, finally figured out it's the way the headlight are aligned or focused. At night I drive with my headlights and fog lights on, pretty much takes care of it. At least not as noticable.

My old F150 used to do the same thing, but it was anytime the parking brake was used. It was the parking brake cable that was the issue and not the brakes themselves.

I agree with the reman engine vs a junk yard motor however I have one bit of advice. Price it out ordering direct from whatever reman company you decide then take a tour of auto parts stores, Advance Auto, O'Reilly's, Auto Zone, Napa. Talk to the person running the commercial dept and see what...

The last time I was looking for a service/repair manual I went to All Data. It's an online manual that you can get for you're particular vehicle. It includes TSBs and recalls. It's a yearly subscription but you could buy it once and download what you want, or keep the subscription and stay up to...

Check and make sure front passenger seat is locked in position. Not to long after I had bought my 19 I developed a rattle, someone had slid passenger seat all the way back but it had not locked itself in that position.

I just read an article where Ford is moving more to the made to order platform instead of having full new vehicle lots. I would imagine the chip shortage has a lot to do with this.

Let's be accurate, you're actually running 87 octane E10, if you were running E87 that would be 87% ethanol. No criticism on you're choice, just the terminology.
