    Need a quiet evaporative humidifier

    They tend to leave a residue which are the minerals from the water. I'm not going to use distilled water and even being on a well they leave a residue, the white, powdery residue. Maybe some new models alleviate this but I have never had an issue with evaporative models and they are more...

    Need a quiet evaporative humidifier

    I will eventually go back to a whole-house humidifier, but for time being, I need a quiet floor stander that's not ultrasonic. I tried the Aircare HD special which worked until it stopped working, but only quiet on the lowest fan speed. I need about 2K' coverage but would like to have it...

    Toyota YZAA1 @4K with HPL VII Euro 5w-30 C&P

    FWIW, our Toyota is the only vehicle I've owned where I go to the parts counter for their oil, and pick up a case of 6 qts of Toyota Synthetic 0W-20. About $8.50 qt and the add pack is good. I have to look up the add pack but iirc it has a healthy dose of moly. I just wont take it past 5K OCI's...

    After seeing the XP filters split at the rolled seam, and now this...I.was ready to stock up in some of their filters but seems QC has taken a back seat. No thanks.

    Any Toyota techs here? Wiring question.

    I agree, I had to splice a TB harness on a GM vehicle and that worked great for years. I guess the only issue I'm dealing with is the decision to simply replace the harness given the reasonable deductible. I don't want to personally, but being it's the significant others' vehicle, it appears she...

    Any Toyota techs here? Wiring question.

    The way I understand how a MAF device operates, is the IAT is as critical as the airflow sensor. The PCM calculates the "mass" of the air by the airflow and temp of the air, to determine proper density...the "mass" is then calculated. I just don't like being ripped off at a dealer even though...

    Any Toyota techs here? Wiring question.

    Yeah, it doesn't look like all the wiring needs replacement, can't see any other damage than the one pigtail right now. It appears to be the MAF/IAT harness, which is an easy fix. I'm not a fan of a spliced section of harness given sensitive mV parameters of the PCM but safe bet it would be...

    Is it safe to mix 0W20 and 5W30 in 75/25 proportion of the same oil brand and type?

    For the longest time on my Envoy, I used 6 qts of M1 EP 5W-30 and 1 qt of M1 V-Twin 20W-50. Need to do a VOA but the V-Twin adds a little kick of Mg,Ca, and Zn. I still mix this on occasion in my L94 6.2, yields an approximate 7.5W-33 😎 Does this help, hard to say but for my own piece of mind...

    Any Toyota techs here? Wiring question.

    The replacement would be a factory new harness. Yeah, I did peek around quite a bit and traced the loom all over the motor, I don't see half their rate and 10 seems logical doing it the first time and being overly careful. I agree.

    Any Toyota techs here? Wiring question.

    Yeah, plan to hit a few other forums. I have also searched this on Toyota forums and it doesn't get answered much. I have no idea what's involved but could be a cash cow given the silence...Who knows. No doubt it's involved but I have to question 30 hours.

    Any Toyota techs here? Wiring question.

    For a 3rd Gen Highlander V6 non hybrid, what's involved in replacing the engine wiring harness? Our 2014 has some rodent damage so exploring options. Would this harness be in the engine bay only with a firewall coupler or does it have wires entering the passenger compartment? Can this be done in...

    4L60E knock in bell housing or not

    Sorry for the late update, we just finished this last weekend and the rod bearings seemed to fix this. I had my doubts as well as others since it wasn't a normal, telltale rod knock. Wrist pins seemed good on all 6, bearings looked decent but I will get a mic on them to hopefully find the...

    What connector is this?

    Whats your best driving tip?

    When someone is turning in front of you, namely turning right into a side street or shopping center, don't be that driver who thinks they can time the point where the vehicle in front of you clears your path and when you just miss the rear. What happens if a kid or parent holding a child's hand...

    What connector is this?

    Trying to replace this 12V lead and I want to use a new connector for the relay. I know I can use about any female connector but trying to keep it looking the same. I figured this was an easy to find item but proving difficult for me. Just one of many I need to fix on this vehicle. Maybe...

    Christmas tree farms and current pricing

    That could be what's driving local farm prices as they know the demand is higher. I have to draw the line though, $115 for a 2 week old pre cut fir, and $20/foot to cut your own....not happening.

    Need a whole house humidifier for cramped ductwork

    I have but not extensively, I have been turned away from them due to deposits they leave everywhere. Maybe that technology has changed.
