2012 Avalon, rear window screen has been opening and closing by its own choice. Activates a claxon when the transmission is placed in reverse, and the noise turns off when the activating switch is depressed. The screen, however, is locked in the full open screen mode. Anyone know how to safely...

MSN reports 751,000 Highlanders recalled for falling bumpers. The geniuses did NOT state the model years.

Inherited a Marlin 60 in the box. Vintage 1960s-1970s semi-automatic. Pristine appearance, action was clean, lands and grooves cleaned well from Hoppe’s #9, performed well, but when I cleaned the magazine tube the rust was overwhelming the patch. Three or four runs with Hoppe’s cleaned it, but...

Went to my stash of a couple bottles and realized these may be dated and not beneficial. What is the customary shelf life of Regane, Gumout, Berryman, Schaeffers 131, etc. ?

What does this JT&K 1942, 1943, and 1944 stand for? I find it on army weaponry, bags, holsters, slings, and other soft military items. Even the reproductions advertise the moniker on their offerings. Anyone?

Just ordered a new Toro single stage and was pleased it came with a 4 cycle engine. Supplier suggested using Toro cold weather snow blower oil. I had never heard of it, and I’ll find the viscosity and hopefully the certifications when it arrives. Anyone have any thoughts?

Young family wants a van for Mom and her three kids. Dad likes Mopar, so I get the research duty. Anyone know something to avoid or a must -have ? They want ten years plus, and will probably average 10k a year. I can't see the benefit of a hybrid in that scenario, but that's me. Thoughts?

'07 RAV4 with lots of Raybestos pad front and back makes a grinding noise when coming to a complete stop, but only for the last ten feet. The brakes work well, have about 10 k on them, and upon inspection showed no areas of shiny metal, shavings anywhere, nor areas of unusual heat. Where should...

Hope this is the right forum subsection, if not, mods please move correctly. After 9000 four season miles, I got a tire warning light yesterday on the interstate. Checked all four tires and they seemed sound. Rechecked after the night, and they read 32 front, 30 rear, and the spare was at 32. As...

Castrol site now says their 5w30 is full synthetic. Did they change the formula or is that old stuff that I have accumulated rated semi synth actually a full synth?

I'm approaching 45k and five years in a '12 Avalon, "sealed trans". Debating using the WS from Toyota vs. Redline D6. Friend has an exchange machine, so only the leveling at correct temperature will be the task. He is a retired Toyota tech, so the work will be straightforward. So he tells me...

I'm shopping brake pads and can't seem to find a source that publishes the letter stamped brake coefficient for a given pad. Other than opening boxes and reading stamped letters at the store, is there a way to compare these?

I watched over a dozen YouTube how to's on brake jobs. I learned back in the day to use a tire crayon and mark the wheel, rotor, and hub to reinstall in the same wheel lug pattern. Avoids high and low spots, uneven ride, noise, etc. Especially important when the rotors were turned. Is this a...
