For the people complaining, how much of your own work do you do? I try to do all of mine. I try to use OEM parts except motor oil. I have been using Mobil-1 but I'm going to switch to Kirkland Full Syn. Yes, because it is about 1/2 the price of Mobil-1 at Wal-Mart pricing. It takes me about an...

Let me reiterate my points in my OP- 1. Buy new anti-rattle clips and use two per caliper 2. Put some copper anti-seize on the pins (and hub where the rotor mates) 3. Please don't push old fluid back in. Use the bleeder screw and bleed new fluid through the system. I did bed-in the new pads on...

I'll also note that I would NEVER put anyone's camera/recording/listening device in our house. I was shocked at how people went beserk about how the Ring indoor cameras were hacked, but 99% of those people had an Alexa or Google listening device. If our cameras get hacked, they will see/hear...

I went through the saga of trying to pick what cameras to install outside our home/around our property in January. I almost went with the Arlo cameras, but the reviews were horrible. I bought two Ring Spotlight cameras. One is battery powered, the other is hardwired (plugging into a...

I thought I'd start a new thread to go over my experiences and not garble up the other towing brake thread anymore. I have a 2014 Tundra with 121k miles. I just replaced the front pads/rotors for the 2nd time. I bought the truck new. First OEM set of pads/rotors were replaced about 65k miles. I...

Ok, I think I have figured out the problem with the Tundra front brakes. It's the "anti-rattle" springs/clips. I asked for new hardware when I bought all the parts at the Toyota dealer, they only included 1 pack of these anti-rattle clips/springs. It appears that Toyota only put one of these...

I'm about to hire out one of these "soft wash" companies that comes in and sprays some mixture on the roof, soffit/fascia/etc, let it sit and they rinse it off. Some companies say they use bleach and a combo of stuff, some say they use "environmentally safe products". I want my white...

Let me ask this - Would a brake controller (Teknosha P3) cause a bias when not towing a trailer? I have read a few internet posts about the 2nd/3rd Gen Tundras having front brake problems. I have a Teknosha P3 controller hooked up but do not use it (do not tow a heavy trailer) very often. As...

Not a Ford owner. Bought the whole PowerStop Z36 kit for my Tundra. Drilled - slotted rotors, pads, etc. about $475 worth. Did the bed in procedure to the letter. 1. Noted NO better performance than OEM ( bought the truck new ) 2. After 60k miles, truck is almost undriveable. Horrible...

Every 3-5 fill ups 2014 Tundra 2019 Highlander I even write it down. Date, mileage and level That way I can see if there's a problem.

Nope I had it professionally installed. I change the filter. I'm an HVAC engineer. When it stops working, I get it serviced. There's nothing to maintain except the filter.
