Does this console safe fit a government length 5” 1911 pistol?

Dexos is a GM oil spec, and they have different variants of the dexos spec. The original dexos spec was an acidity neutralizer. This Mobil 1 oil is great… changing the oil more often than 10k miles help to eliminate the problem that extended range oils battle with- liquid contaminants. Changing...

Wow!! Congrats

I don’t think compressor is seizing, it just has too much initial resistance/inertia for the belt surface area combined with tension, to begin to spin the ac compressor when the electromagnetic clutch is engaged. If the compressor was seizing, there will be more than just replacing an ac...

If the compressor was “bad” like internally seizing, the belt would constantly slip- belt would melt and be smoking’ when the compressor clutch was engaged.

This really seems like a tension issue. Looks like the Tacoma “non trd off road, uses a tensioner part number 16620-F0070…. Dunno the trd off road part number for the tensioner… but asking the service dept if any of their “certified” techs have a serpentine belt tensioner gauge…. Also, you can...

This isn’t the only vehicle to have this problem- GM 5.3 engines did this for quite some time, the fix was to flash the ecu to pulse the electrical current to the compressor clutch, and to install a stronger belt, manufactured by gates rubber co. They may have also added a tensioner that was...

Sorry, “California Dept of Justice” legal, not federal..

California law makers passed an assembly Bill into law to create a “roster” of approved locking devices for firearms, but I believe if someone owns something before the law is enacted, then it has no legal bearing for the locking devices… I know, it’s crazy

I can say that Volkswagen Audi group/dealers plugs into the ECU during an oil change…. And they could flag a “TD1” code for a modified engine/software.. even on a stock software flash, the Siemens ECU would record torque output, and even if the software was flashed back to stock, the torque log...

That is a great question. Since the ecu already plays with timing, based upon the fuel quality, then the software “could” float even more spark advance, if it has parameters setup to do so.. meaning that the truck may max out it’s maximum ignition advance with premium unleaded fuel and not...

You are absolutely correct! When I drive rental cars, I am amazed of what’s possible with mileage- when it comes to owning a vehicle that has great utilitarian ability- that would not be a Prius… then trade offs are not only expected, but … there is a reason why Toyota has not released a Prius...

When I drive from Petaluma, Ca to Green Valley, Az… highway travel only- if I don’t push over 65, I can get average of 26 mpg… this depends upon wind conditions as well, I can get much higher mileage if I draft a tractor trailer… city driving, the truck does suffer. Pushing 70mph+, truck mileage...

Yikes!!!

So your theory is a better sell, if the driver side wheel studs have left hand thread. Loose wheel nuts will allow the run to chafe material away from the wheel studs like a beaver chewing through a tree. I have seen it many times. Also advised to lubricate wheel stud threads to prevent false...

I hope you still have your stock exhaust and you May have to wait for the correct exhaust pieces.

I have the magnaflow exhaust on my non hybrid and it has been perfect, so far..

It will be loud, and I haven’t crawled under my Taco for a couple of months, but the only risk could be the exhaust temp being exposed to Something under the truck that may cause damage for long term exposure.. can you elaborate about your AWE came With two non hybrid parts? Did you order a...

Fair enough, my concern is more about the service writer, and wondering if there truly is a software update. Enjoy your truck!!
