In the Max's doesn't the hybrid motor take the place of a torque converter?

It depends on the region, I'd say. You can get discounts, but there are caveats; you may need to use their financing. I can say that in the New England region, it's at least MSRP for hybrids, with discounts on the non-hybrid models. It's all about supply and demand.

Based on other threads it sounds like the transmissions are fine and the torque converters are to blame. Using the same TC is going to cause the same problem.

The transmissions are built in Japan. The engines in Alabama.

The usual advice is to make sure everything is updated on your phone. What model do you have? If possible, try connecting with another phone; that will quickly determine whether the issue lies with your phone or not.

Social media has dashcam footage everywhere. I feel it's actually made me a better driver, particularly at intersections, as I'm now more cautious instead of blindly driving through, expecting the other drivers to have their act together. I've had dashcams before, but I'm now upgrading to better...

Correct. I just talked to my guy yesterday and it's scheduled for a August 23rd build date.

Based on what is considered "normal", six to eight weeks. But you have a halo so who knows?

Well, it's really about timing. If the yards are empty because a batch of trucks just left for the docks and your truck has just arrived, your truck will be there the longest. However, if your truck is among the last batch of trucks to arrive before they leave for the docks, then your wait will...

Wow!. At least the two month cycle was broken.

A lot of folks in Maine have wells, so they can't use salt outside of the larger towns for fear of contamination. Instead, they use gravel and dirt; while sifted, it still takes a toll. After a few years, you'll have a sandblasted, rock-chipped windshield along with chipped paint. Replacing the...

Or sitting in traffic. I've run fully electric in air-conditioned comfort on a 90+ degree day, creeping along while the engine remains off until it needs to charge the battery.

I have a hybrid on order, but I can speak as an owner of a Lexus hybrid. Toyota hybrids start the engine depending on the temperature. For example, if the car has been sitting all night, the engine will start within a minute of pressing the start button because you do not get full hybrid...

It was for a dealer Gates Toyota in Connecticut. I haven't looked on other dealer sites but it struck me as strange they were showing trucks in build status with delivery dates, far out dates at that.

I'm counting on a late September delivery. If it's pushed back...oh, well. The only real reason I hope to get it earlier is so I can do a winter prep. I want virgin metal to seal and coat before the salt and gravel start getting put down.

Right from the saviors mouth...

So, I ended up on a Connecticut dealer site looking for a particular truck and noticed the "Vehicle is in build status..." verbiage. What struck me was that these trucks were all built in weeks 32, 33, and 34. The estimated delivery dates were late October to early November. You won't find this...

Did you just overlay the sheet over the rims and cut?

Would it be possible to post some pics?

Keep it coming!
