    Toyota 6 speed transmissions

    Thank you for the responses, I have been off for a few days. Is the WS fluid available only at dealers? I am not seeing it in many locations doing a quick search. Lastly, does WS fluid have a suitable replacement (i.e. Maxlife), or is WS what should be used exclusively ?

    Toyota 6 speed transmissions

    Hello, I picked up a 2011 Avalon the other week. While reading up afterwords, I realized that these have the dipstick - less transmissions. There is a long video out there: Transmission inspection/drain/fill The process to do a check, drain, etc. is ridiculous. What are other owners doing -...

    Android users - experiencing recent GPS issues?

    My phone really is a phone/text platform. The caveat is that I am having to use Google Maps much of the day (hopefully short term), as I took on a different job while on furlough. Storage space is really not a concern, but I know the Ram is double what I currently have, so flipping between the...

    Vehicle warranty - lifetime

    Vehicle warranty - lifetime

    Hello, I was looking online for local Ram trucks last night. I came upon a '17 Express with the Hemi in it. I was intrigued by the following, but figure it is full of loopholes: *INCLUDES A LIFETIME UNLIMITED MILEAGE $0 DEDUCTIBLE WARRANTY*, Commentary on this being truthful, are...

    Android users - experiencing recent GPS issues?

    Does anyone here own a Samsung S7; if so, what are your opinions. I ask, as Verizon (pre paid option) has refurbished models for less than the J3 I currently use. I was leery about buying a refurb'd phone, but an IT friend bought his entire family 4 reconditioned phones off of Amazon, and has...

    Any RUSH Fans Here, Ay?

    Big Fan here. And by the way, HUGE Maiden fan as well. Some of the smartest business people in the industry. Plus, they all have such interesting lives, outside of music. One of the biggest concert regrets on my part. I believe it was 1985, and Maiden/Ozzy played the Mecca in Milwaukee...

    Kbb prices seem off

    Seeing the same thing in MN, for other vehicles. As an example 1st generation Tundras, the ones that are in very good shape, sell well above any values listed. Those trucks are a hot buy, because of the demographics of this market. Of course, they are getting pretty hard to find, unless they...

    63 Vette

    Yes, the C4 vettes are pretty cheap these days. I actually have a 5 year plan, hoping to get into a low mileage C6.

    63 Vette

    Oh, how the times have changed over the decades... I have an uncle who had a 63 with the chrome side pipes, back when I was a kid. Took a couple of rides in it, when I was young (late 70's), and it scared the crap out of me.. LOL. He bought it, after returning from Vietnam, then became a long...

    Better MPG with pure gas.

    My Tahoe gets the same MPG, regardless of what I've tried over the 6 years I've had it (pure gas 89 or 91, 87 w/ 10% ethanol) Now, summer blend -- that definitely makes a difference for me.

    Allstate insurance. Are they ok?

    I'm with Liberty Mutual, will be leaving them as soon as policy is over. Possibly the worst customer service I've experienced.
