Hello. I’m having to replace another Schumacher trickle charger that barely lasted two years. Im convinced that company is all Chinese junk that doesn’t last like they did a few decades ago. I need one for my zero turn and a double one for my truck and tractor. I’m thinking Noco looks like a...

Hello. I’m in the final stage of adding a 12 volt usb adapter to my 08 Tundra. The mount and usb adapter came with no instructions. I have a red and black wire coming from the new usb plug but the cigarette lighter wires are different colors as you can see. I THINK the black wire goes to the...

Hello everyone. I'm going to post up a lot of detail in hopes of getting some very specific advice about towing a smaller trailer. I am asking because while I have plenty of offroad/overlanding experience and I have towed many a utility trailer, I've never had a dedicated camper for trips like...

Hello. I recently purchased an 08 Toyota Tundra with the 5.7 L engine and it has 206,000 miles on it. I am going thru and changing all the fluids, plugs, pcv valve, filters, etc. I changed the pcv valve that was full of oil and not working and also did a seafoam engine spray top end cleaner when...

Hello. I have a 2008 tundra and the middle AC vent makes an annoying whistle when I turn the fan up. The video (see below) doesn’t do the noise justice as in person, it’s quite loud. I checked the cabin filter and it was dirty but not blocked, but it’s only this middle vent. It blows strong so...

I’ve been reading up on this error that I got just after buying a used 08 5.7L tundra. I have to get back to the dealer I bought it from but it’s an hour and a half away. I don’t want to go into limp mode so is there anything I can do to make this hold off until their mechanic can look at it? I...

Hello. I have 200,000 miles on my 08 AWD highlander and I am having some pretty rough clunking and what not coming from the rear when going over bumps. I’m almost sure the original struts are done. In looking around other the internet it seems the KYB SR4447 is a popular OEM equivalent...

Hello. 2008 highlander limited, V6, non hybrid, 190,000 miles. My wife said her car wouldn’t Start, that it was dead, lights and all. She heard a few clicks, the brake pedal was hard to press and then it went dark. I come home, check it and it starts up both with her key fob and mine, however, I...

I recently changed out my lower ball joints on a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. First off thanks for the help from those of you that responded to my posts. the LBJ on the older Toyotas had some issues snapping so I’ve always read that OEM is the way to go for that part. I’m going to also change out the...

Full disclosure. I’m not the sharpest beer in the fridge but Toyota is giving me a headache. In hindsight I should have just taken this to a mechanic but I’d like to learn and I’m neck deep in this mess so I gotta solider on. I plan to have my local mechanic check my work when I take it in for...

Hey folks. I about to change the thermostat on my 2001 Toyota Sequoia so figured I’d do a coolant drain and fill while I’m at it. I looked thru my records and can’t find if I used OEM or aftermarket coolant the last time. The dealer says the new pink stuff replaced the red and that I’d need two...

I am about to replace the lower ball joints on my 2001 Toyota Sequoia. I’m using OEM parts with new bolts, nuts and pins. I’ve watched a ton of videos and it’s pretty straightforward with one minor difference. When putting the castle nuts back on and then lining up the hole to put the pin back...

I’m digging into an issue that’s been an irritant for a while now. 2008 Honda Pilot SE. 225,000 miles. Last year I started getting some serious noise when steering. I took the cheapest route first and got a Honda o-ring kit for the power steering pump and it helped. Fast forward three months and...

Hello. 2001 Toyota Sequoia, the AC is cold but even on high it blows like it’s on low but I can hear the fan and it sounds like it’s on high. I replaced the blower motor about 3 years ago. I checked and it’s clean inside, no rats nests and this vehicle has no cabin air filter. I’m hesitant to...

Hello. I was changing the oil on my wifea 2008 Highlander V6 today and noticed this part just hanging free. (See pics) it’s next to the battery. I don’t know what the part even is to look up the correct screw so this was my first stop. It looks like it’s tied into the air box and has a few small...

Hello everyone. I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander and the air conditioning button has started blinking when I start the vehicle up. If I turn the button off and turn the AC back on it will get cold, and then it will go a day or two without doing the blinking thing again. My mechanic wants to do an...

Hello. I bought a used 08 Toyota Highlander Limited yesterday with the V6. Drove it for quite a while and noticed when I got home that there was coolant on the ground. I lifted the hood and the overflow tank is completely full and dripping on the ground. I checked the oil again and checked the...
