I have the above vehicle with 260,000 miles. I believe the catalytic converters are going out. Long story but that's what this points too. My mechanic is advising me that to avoid issues with CEL, I need to use the authentic Toyota cats. Well, all the dealers within 75 miles of me want over 2...

Hello. My pilot tripped the VTM-4 light this morning. No other lights came on, the light wasn't flashing. This was a few moments after starting it up and driving up the hill to the main road. As it accelerated, the light came on. No performance issues were noted. It was 42 degrees outside and...

2001 Toyota Sequoia. After many years of replacing masts and motors, I'm done with it. I'd like to replace the motorized antenna with a fixed, either rubber or screw in metal "whip" antenna. Today I went to replace the broken mast, again, and it was all catywampus up inside. I kinda reached my...

Well, it's time to change the plugs and my head kinda spins at all the options out there anymore. I know for Toyota's, it's only denso or NGK, but do I want iridium? Platinum? Aluminum? Copper infused brass with Tri-tip active gap adjustment for better boat towing in northern states? (Made by...

went to clean the throttle body today on a new to me 08 Honda Pilot 166,000 miles, SE, AWD. After I cleaned it and the air box, I went ahead and took a look at one of the transmission solenoids as I'd read on here the little metal screens get clogged and need to be cleaned. I'm halfway there...

2008 Honda Pilot SE. The videos I've watched all instruct you to tighten the bolts at ride height. I assume this means you hand tighten the bolts after replacing the new bushings, but HOW exactly to do that gives me pause. Do I hand tighten them, put the tire back on, lower it to the ground and...

(Pics attached). Hello. 2008 Honda Pilot SE, AWD. 166,000 miles. We recently bought this and it runs fine but I am doing basic maintenance. I changed out the plugs and found them and the coils all looked good except for one. The front and center plug and coil on this 6 cylinder looked burnt...

Hello everyone. I have an 01 Toyota Sequoia Limited, 250,000 miles, 4.7 L V8. Running good but have had some CEL's as of late. Long story short, I replaced all 4 O2 sensors as it appeared they were the originals, or at least very old and I was getting codes saying it was them. Fast forward a...

2000 Buick Regal GS, 250,000 Miles, Supercharged V6, Automatic Transmission. I'm trying to help my folks by rehabbing their 2nd car. My dad has always changed the oil and had the brakes done, but things like fuel filter, transmission fluid, etc has been seriously neglected. The cars runs ok now...

01 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4WD. I’m going to be doing a fair amount of towing with this vehicle in the near future. It has the original rear shocks and Bilsteins in the front to level the rake. Just driving around it’s fine, with a small amount of sag in the rear. When hooked up to just the...

2001 Sequoia Limited. Readily admit, First world problem here. lol The door lock on the auto lock I use with my key fob no longer works. When I hit the button, the drivers door latch won't fully move, only half way. (see pic, door switch right above my finger is the part that won't move all the...

Always used Mobil 1 for most everything. If that wasn’t available, Valvoline. Now my 2001 Toyota Sequoia seems to have slight issue in the winter with Mobil 1 high mileage 5W/30, which is the weight called for my my owners manual and oil cap. As far as I recall this is a conventionl oil? I have...

Would I be best served getting an engine oil heater or a battery warmer? I don't have a garage and my 2001 Toyota Sequoia kinda struggles a little to start when it gets near zero. Battery is only a few years old and it was tested and is fine. It offers plenty of CCA and CA. I just wonder if...

I changed out the 2 front rotors and brake pads on my 2001 Sequoia today. I was so proud of myself. It's all tidied up in the drive, the suns gone down and as I was just standing in the shower, it dawned on me I forgot to clean the rotors before putting them on. I even bedded the brake pads and...

We recently moved and out new place is exactly what we wanted except I no longer have access to a flat slab of concrete to lift cars up with the floor jack. It dawned on me in all my years I've never lifted a vehicle on a gravel surface. It seems obvious to me not to do it for safety sake as I...

I seem to be running into an unexpected issue in trying to find a decent double din aftermarket stereo for my sequoia. It's a limited model and twice now Crutchfield has sent me a stereo that, come to find out, doesn't work with my vehicle despite their websites "stereo finder" saying it will...

What oil would I be best served to use for my cat pump on my pressure washer? Thank you in advance for the assistance!

I've always changed plugs in previous vehicles well before 100,000 miles. I always noticed an improvement in older cars in performance and at idle. It's now habit. Any 80's and 90's model vehicles get new plugs and wires every 50, 000 miles. Well, these new fandangled cars have me wondering if...

Ive decided to get to the bottom of the used car pricing game. I recently sold a vehicle and I had a real time getting a bead on an accurate price. Kelly Blue Book and NADA prices were way off despite the same info being entered and if it wasn't for a friends help from out of state using his...

223,000 miles, V8. I've had this CEL/code pop up and then disappear a few times for the past couple months. Ive had the code run at the auto parts store and they said it was one of my O2 sensors but they don't know which of the 4 it is. I've tested all the sensor heating elements with my...
