Well I tried to replace the fuel pump today. All went fine until I discovered that you have to remove the bed bolts and either block the bed up to gain access to all of the pollution and gas fill lines that go into the top of the tank or move the bed back to gain access. So I reinstalled the...

I live in Joisey. The O ring was shipped from California. Usually a three day ship for me. Nope, a full 8 days. I missed two days of 72 degree humidity free weather while waiting for my part.

I forgot to order the O ring for the pump when I placed the pump order. The O ring just arrived today (8 days to ship). If the weather is bearable tomorrow, I'll put the pump in.

My mistake. GM does use Delphi, like Toyota. I didn't catch the Denso in the Honda post.

GM uses the same brand pump.

I caught mythbusters a few times and it was OK. About two years ago I was on a forum talking to Adam Savage and he stated that a metal lathe is the only machine that can duplicate itself. I asked him how it melts iron for the bed and headstock, casts it and then heat treats and grinds it to...

I put about zero stock in mythbusters.

Unless the high pressure fuel system is active (engine under load) the fuel would just stay in the high pressure pump.

I have an OEM Delphi FG2130 pump coming on 6/2 from Rock Auto. I emailed Delphi to make sure that the pumps being sold are not part of those that Toyota is having trouble with. Personally I believe that most of the trouble with electric fuel pumps is from owners running the vehicle with almost...

Yes, it is. Toyota is looking at October 'or so' for the recall on the Tacoma. Meanwhile, my truck gets a stutter while driving every blue moon and it's my only vehicle. I'll pay for the pump out of my own pocket and replace it, then give Toyota the bill. It is stated in the recall that they...

I'll look for the Schrader valve under the hood. I believe that I've seen a cap on the fuel line. Like you said, if all else fails, pull the fuel pump fuse or relay and run it until it stops.

Does anyone know the correct way to relieve fuel pressure for a 2018 V6 Tacoma? I have to replace a failing fuel pump and don't want to take a gasoline bath. I can't find the information anywhere. Thank you in advance.

ECT mode and using the S mode gives you a bit later upshifts (holds to a higher rpm) and also holds the loss of speed a bit longer BEFORE downshifting. I find it works for me for all of my driving, even long trips. Other than that, the S mode is still fully automatic in up and down shifts.

5th gear S mode seems to work well (performance and gas mileage wise) as long as you keep the rpm below 2000 or so. If you look up the horsepower and torque curve for our V6 engine you will see the difference between the torque readings at 1200 to 1300 rpm and those at 2000 rpm. I'd love to...

A difference of 3 mpg either way in a tank full is nothing. The vehicle is saddled with a cruising rpm of 1300 to 1500 rpm at any LEGAL road speed. Horsepower and torque curves are so far away from those figures it isn't funny. Long story short, the engine is always either lugging or it...

17 miles or a bit more tracking a wounded deer that WASN'T shot by me. Opening day of deer season it ran within 20 feet of me about half an hour after sunrise, obviously shot. I chased and stalked that deer for almost 8 hours, finally catching up to it and putting it out of it's misery just...

I took Ambien about 10 years ago. All was fine for about two months, when I began to get up after sleeping for two or three hours and make myself a small omelette. Six eggs, about a pound of hot sausage and some cheese along with two or three slices of toast. I'd wake up the next morning...

Yes, our two love high places. I swear they could climb a vertical wall with ease.

Four of our cats are feral converts. Two Norwegian Forest Cats and two mutts. All as sweet as can be. I'm especially happy that the male NFC is sweet, because at 25 pounds he could cause some damage fast. When he walks you can hear the thud-thud-thud-thud of feet in the next room.
