    8 years 10 months on original OEM battery? (12 Toyota Tacoma)

    Yesterday my Toyota 24F 582 CCA battery went dead on my 2012 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 2.7L MT. I jumped it and it barely rolled over but started and I let it run about 10 minutes. After 24hrs I went back out to see if vehicle would start. Nope, dead. Removed the old battery and cleaned up all the...

    New to me Harley CVO Streetglide

    Nice new ride, gman2304! I use Spectro Products in all three holes. Glad to see you flushed your brake fluid. So many owners neglect this important item. Mine is changed every 2 years. Excellent decision on the short run of your primary fluid change out. It sounds it was changed many moons ago.

    Denso air filters manufactured in China?

    I purchased a Denso Air Filter (oil filter also) for my 12 Tacoma and it was Chicom also. Most Toyota OEM parts are Denso made in Japan or USA from my experience. I'm not worried the least and enjoying the savings.

    2012 Tacoma steering very stiff?

    I secured steering wheel first in the incorrect canted position, then took intermediate shaft off (again, but much easier thanks to applied anti-seize), then turned steering wheel to it's proper position and secured it, then re-splined shaft back on. It's perfect now! Malfunction light still on...

    Thanks for all the tips. Today I did buy a new OEM Intermediate shaft which was the problem. Took 4hrs start to finish. Truck steers like new now. Rust was a big issue obviously. Two problems: 1.) I now have a malfunction light on the dash now? Yellow light showing vehicle skidding or...

    Toyota Transfer Gear Oil 75W

    My 2012 Tacoma 2.7L 4x4 Owners Manual calls for 75W90 GL-4/5 for the transfer case. I changed original myself @ 80,000 miles or 7 years of ownership. Used Redline MT-90 75W90 GL-4 Gear OIl. Original gear oil looked good at time of change, and no issues since using the Redline. Redline

    The awesome sounding awesome looking Honda CBX

    From the looks of the video the rider is avoiding older retro bikes on the track course...... I remember the 1978 CBX well when they came out. What is there not to like?

    2020 Subaru Forester 1st oil change question

    My new to me 2020 Subaru Forester is just a few miles shy of Subaru's 1,000 mile break in period (basically no fast stop/starts, stay under 4000 rpm, etc). I plan on changing the oil next weekend myself with a little over 1150/1200 miles on the new engine. Is this a little premature sending an...

    Harley Davidson Syn3

    HD Syn 3 used to be a blend and made by CITGO. I used in a pinch back when I owned my 08 FLHR. I'm sure it's quality oil since many riders use in the "3" holes and have rode many miles with no issues.

    Troy-Bilt TB160/Honda engine push mower

    For the last 10yrs I've owned a Toro self propelled mower that I could never warm up to, plus it cost some coin over the years with it's drive system that was sub-standard IMHO. So today I switched gears and purchased an old fashion push mower, Troy Bilt TB160 with a Honda 160cc engine. My lawn...

    Anyone riding?

    I originally stated I'd have the bike out by 04/01/2020, didn't happen. Rain, snow, low temps, work, new car purchase etc just got in the way. Finally yesterday took her down off jack stand, air up tires, check fluids and all controls then hit the super slap for about a 30 mile ride after work...
