To me it appears the Severe Gear got the worst of it along with DCT, for those who run it Edit: thats not even close to my postal code

My tip is to hold a vacuum on the crack longer than the instructions say, i'll hold it until the bubbling stops and warm the glass every now and then while doing that

Deadly, I wonder what the new test results and claims will be. Motor oil sure has come a long way, even in the last 10 years

Pretty sure on here someone posted an analysis of Toyota oem, dealer purchased, super long life coolant which contains 2-eha

Im at 276'xxx kms on my factory brakes all around on my 21 Tacoma with 5mm left up front... but my rotors are corroding apart at the friction surface so soon i'm gonna have to call it

I'm not a stranger to diesel's but i'm also not highly versed in beyond understanding the fundamentals (I think) so if anything I say after this is wrong, please correct me. You noted that retarding injection timing after removal of the EGR is a method to compensate for the extra heat being...

True story, Hvac on heavy equipment is my current career path and if you ask anyone why they think they have no ac you'll always get the answer that it's low on a charge. While possible, my experience on CAT equipment is that typically it's either a failed pressure switch or the...

This is interesting, i've never had this issue. I've slacked in torquing them even and reuse them typically 4 times before they seep. At that point I replace them the following oil change

Is there a bulletin for the introduction of Red coolant by chance?

I'm also intrigued, not the end of the world for me but it's what I have in my 92 Camry with the original non-aluminium heater core

From my experience, the only time the spring becomes a factor is if your truck is a manual trans. If it is then I would stay springless as I find the spring holding it wide open tends to mess with your shifting especially lower rpm shifts as the engine will idle down slower and to some degree...

I run Toyota Red Long Life in my 1992 camry with a copper heater core etc. Been fine for the last few years for me. Honestly if you have a clean slate with flushed heater core etc, i'd use what ever coolant is convenient. My main reason for using the Toyota red in my camry is A.) I have...

Not like it would be a big deal (in my opinion) for your area but Toyota had an old bulletin from the Toyota red (LLC) coolant days where they stated for best heater operation, 55% antifreeze to water was the max they recommended. More antifreeze than that reduced the heat transfer abilities of...

Working in a shop setting, I visually inspect the gap then install the plug. Working on a personal level off the clock, I check the gaps with a feeler blade and adjust via grabbing the sides of the ground strap from behind with pliers to widen or gingerly tapping the ground on something to...

On my Tacoma with load range E LT235/80R17 cooper snow claws, 50-55 psi unloaded works best for me. Much more than that and it rides notably harsher and much less than that causes abnormal wear on my front tires. I've always been taught and told that most LT tires need atleast 40 psi in...

I would also say go test drive them all. And decide that way I was a Gm mechanic and the Canyons are are okay. I don't know about the 2.7. Ieft before that. Their biggest issues like with all Gm's are electrical interior. I own a Tacoma and it will most likely be the more reliable but fuel...

I was using Amsoil's off-road polymeric grease for chassis components that required greasing when I had them. It's calcium sultanate based with 5% Moly. I used it in #1 viscosity. When both my lower ball joint boots completely separated and it was exposed to the elements, the grease perfectly...

I've bought the odd tools here and there from Vevor including a set of A/C gauges and Vacuum pump. Pump pulls down past 200 microns and gauges held that... after taking it apart and sealing everything. Vevor stuff is perfect for the odd time use. In my experience, at worse you have to slightly...

I did a used oil analysis on my 21 that I posted in the used oil analysis section. I am planning to run a few different viscosities to see how they wear. So far i've only done the used oil analysis on 90wt and that wasn't very favourable. Currently running a 85wt since that was my plan before...
