I put one new Monro complete strut with spring . Lucky I Have a friend who has a shop $170 purchase $50 install Next strut will be from Rock auto , as long as shipping keeps it well below $170 Truck feels great & eventually i'll replace other side but for now I can't really feel a difference...

My mind set is caught in the days of 15 years ago when the concept of a Strut job was $600 bucks as now I see the fix is low in cost for preventive maintenance it's worth the fix

Once I get off I'll see if I can figure a manufacture on Strut assembly if it's the original from truck I could call Toyota Realize where it broke it snapped and slid off and landed on edge of control arm . It's kinda wedged there by the grace of God . Time constraints to fix are causing me...

The joke is I drive it mellow , If I was horsing around , flying up the mountain roads i'd say well yeah . I was driving like 30 MPH and heard a loud snap sound the type that makes you say " that sounded bad " took a few days till I even till realized cause I drive it that mellow . These...

Yes at the weld ( the weld of the McPherson strut )

My McPherson strut snapped at the the joining area at the control arm On the control arm the bushing part sits as perfect as ever but steel pipe snapped off And I was driving as slow as can be . This is a strut look towards bottom at round bushing that is what snapped off Go figure but we...

As a Kid that was the custom - more a ritual - like the air you breath but also most cars were rear wheel drive ( I go back a bit )

Yoko's will have to do for now ( not made of money), but if it were up to me yoko's for Spring Summer Fall & Steel wheels and snow tires for winter .

How do all , and lets all have a great New Year ! I had a controllable problem . a day before new years eve I got hit with some flats , driver side front & rear , Front tire was easy to reach & still has some good life in it & had a plug put in but rear tire had a bulge on bottom tread (ripped...

Well I can't stress this to much it's around zero and 12 degree highs . My short trip Gas Mileage is fantastic What I suspect now is trips of 10 to 15 miles in winter is short trip as engine is warmed up proper after 10 to 15 miles till it is warmed up nice a five weight has more...

2008 calls for 5w30 and 0w30 - meets that spec at the most important area ,normal warmed up running conditions as 30 weight at start up running zero weight has to lend to less motor wear & it is a 30 weight when needed If 2018 calls for 0W20 ,it's the 20 weight aspect you have to wonder...

I changed oil to a 0W30 In short it's better, but advantages occur under conditions that don't occur 12 months a year The north country zero and below is common wile 5 w 30 works well any way . 0W30 starts motor even better & even feels smoother ( if it's even possible ) So for cold...

Welcome . You know you can still use a Ford motor craft Oil Filter for sentimental reasons BTW the Ford motor craft oil filter is priced well at wall mart and seems to keep oil very clean

I felt this was interesting cause it answers the question - 5w30 convential ability to flow compared to 5w30 synthetic wile Amsoil is a top rated oil - all synthetics flow better back to back comparisons

The info I can give you - - .I purchased truck used at the 220,000 range . Now I'm at the 230,000 range My guess is conventional 5w30 had been used . Synthetic use , 10,000 miles ?? When I first checked oil level 10,000 miles ago the Cross hatch area on metal dip stick had like a brown...

My view of 0 w 30 my only concern is motor has miles so it's not as tight as new ( burns no oil feels new ) It gets cold in the north east so a 0w30 by mid December when it's below zero with highs of 20 a zero weight should create perfect start up flow and once warmed up you have a 30 weight...

This Taco has turned out to be the best truck . Takes me to work about 125 miles per week then I pick up daughter at work 125 miles each week mon to fri Then the weekend I take my kids here there every where , as the miles pile on the kids use the radio that allows paring so they blast...

Seems to be various meanings - But - I meant I Hit the gas peddle once in a wile - Not with a stick , My Foot :cool:

Yes Mobil one makes a 0 W 30 But I use 5 W 30 synthetic , i'm at the 233,000 miles mark My Taco does not burn oil - I change once every 5000 miles . 99% I drive it like a baby , once in a wile I will Zonk it . even at 5000 miles oil looks nice . Since I am having great luck with 5 W 30 &...
