What is your budget for a tonneau cover? Depending on what you are willing to spend I can suggest a few different tiers of options.
Dealer tonneaus are just rebadged Bakflip tonneaus. The quality is good and you can get them for a good price online when they have accessory promos. You could...
Remove the 2 screws that hold the actuator onto the caliper and separate them. Push the piston all the way back in and install onto vehicle. Next take the actuator and unplug it. You can either turn it back by hand or some people have had success by using a small battery and some wire. The safer...
Unfortunately a lot of the fear mongering comes from people that misunderstand oil viscosities or use outdated knowledge. While there are definitely some niche cases where tolerances are too tight for thicker fluids, most new vehicles use thinner oils only for emissions compliance. Typically...
Not here to refute 5w30 protecting more against wear as thicker oils will definitely do that, but strictly looking at the data, comparing an oil analysis at 25k to one at 80k doesn't give an exact apples to apples comparison. Aluminum is at the same level and iron is slightly less but that could...
Not really sure I am a fan of how small the surface area of the Velcro is. Some of our OEM cargo liner seat backs that Velcro on also had a small surface area and after a short time, they began to have issues staying attached.
While it sucks to hear about you having poor personal experiences at the dealer, I wouldn't say you can't trust them all. Just like any small private shop, a dealer is privately owned and experiences will vary. I've had the opportunity to work at a few different dealers, including the one I am...
Had a feeling this recall would be coming because of how many people were reporting that the reservoirs were coming off due to corrosion. Hopefully this is the reason the shocks were on back order(To update and correct the issue) and that they will soon have parts for everyone affected.
Damn that thing is massive! Would have to imagine its at least as much as the last gen design which was around 33 Gallons.
EDIT*** Just saw another post and as I suspected, it is 33 Gallons which is a huge improvement over the factory 18.
You are expecting an accident that is in no way a result of defective parts to be covered under warranty. This will never happen. Sure for things like tires and rims, you can buy additional coverage that covers for accidents like punctures or damaged wheels, but under the basic 3/60 warranty, no...
In racing applications yea proper sized couplers to handle flexing is essential, but for how most drive these trucks(and I drive mine hard when I go off road) I don’t see the couplers being a point of weakness. Are they the best? No. But they’ll do the job. The clamps however, are a gamble. You...
Seeing I was pushing 30+ psi through my Civic, and the charge pipes were all aluminum with silicon couplers, I’d say the likelihood of deforming parts is very low. I’ve never had that issue or seen it. I also doubt that under the loads we put these trucks through, the couplers being too short...
I have nothing negative to say about Banks and the parts they engineer but, there really isn't anything wrong with Sxth parts either. What Sxth needs to do is just update their clamps to a superior style clamp that doesn't risk loosening/backing off or stripping. Worm gear clamps are garbage and...
Again what I am saying is that where it is built has nothing to do with how reliable it is. Toyota has a set specific standard to production quality. The issues people are having with any Tacoma, comes down to part issues not assembly. Same with the Tundra. All the numerous different problems...
Production quality has nothing to do with the reliability. So the move from Mexico to USA serves no purpose but to create more American jobs(which is a good thing). Almost any reliability issues come down to poor part quality, which parts are made across the globe so there isn't necessarily one...
In that comment I listed both the red insert and black versions of the door panels. But I can post them again here with just the black ones:
Driver door panel: 67620-AK061-C4
Passenger door panel: 67610-AK061-C4
C4 is black with red stitching and C5 is the sensual red
I work in parts so I like to test out a lot of tires so that I can stand behind my recommendations. So I get they might not stand out as the best tire when comparing the options out there in terms of grip performance, but I found the Falkens do really good and stand out as one of the better all...
