I would assume since they are just replacing the injector they've already ran a compression test and everything came up green. But if they haven't yet, don't be surprised if it turns into a total replacement. A side note, make sure you save paperwork from this service. The catalyst may have...

I absolutely love my current truck and don't need to trade it in. I absolutely love my current truck and don't need to trade it in. I absolutely love my current truck and don't need to trade it in. I absolutely love my current truck and don't need to trade it in. I absolutely love my current...

Doesn't matter. Flushing causing damage is a myth perpetuated by people who don't service their vehicles properly. Not intentionally. When a transmission isn't serviced properly, the material from the clutch packs will be suspended in the contaminated fluid. Meaning when the clutches wear out...

Or possibly because they are so short it just moves the point of failure. Not saying that will or could be the case.

Technically only our DRLs can swap types, the rest is just styling. But as a sponsor, if you actually care to know, I swap to LED for everything in my older rigs. For headlights, Auxbeam is actually my typical preferred brand for their variety and general quality. But yall don't dabble in...

Depends on the manufacturer. Bigger diameters for more flow, stronger materials to hold more boost. The name of the game is more oxygen. The more you can get in the motor, the more fuel you can spray and the more power you make. All an engine is, is an air pump at the end of the day. Also, the...

Coming a bit from the diesel world, I can say that banks reply is not wrong on a few points for sure. I also feel I should note, I'm not affiliated nor have I bought any of their products. But the main point that applies here is the lack of flex it looks like the sxth would allow. Which would...

Went on a road trip over night. Got home around 1am. Today's adventure was to obtain yet another project I didn't need. But atleast this one is cool and functional:

Toyota 100% only used plastic due to cost. Coming from the diesel world, cast aluminum does just fine in these applications. Really the only benefit to plastic over aluminum is thermal insulation. Aluminum will hold heat longer. But aluminum has the benefit of being more durable over time as...

Not as common in gas as diesel due to pressure differences, but direct injection injectors typically have replaceable tips do to a combination of high cylinder and rail pressures. They function like an needle and seat. They are prone to hanging open or even dropping the tip into a cylinder...

Having ran stand alone light bars on other vehicles, you're almost better off with a rack mount due to the ability to utilize their wind deflectors. Plus they usually mount in the door frame causing water seepage around the weatherstrip and distorted a-pillars. They really are only good for...

Im waiting for a non jbl variant, then I'll mount my mini. Just a fyi to those doing the swap, you can by silicone sleeves cheap for the mini off Amazon. That way there's less white to clash with the interior. The mini is a better alternative than the oem LTE based wifi, as it will get signal...

Honestly it just needs new shoes and an air dam delete to make it look as good as most of the above. I give bonus points for the extended cab. They always look better than 4 doors by default. Frankly if they offered it in upper trims Id have seriously considered it.

Oh, I forgot about the roadside and rental car in my original post. That might be worth absolutely nothing to you, check with your auto insurance company. Most insurance policies include free roadside/tow now. Many also include rentals.

Id be interested in a write up and test article on it. Ive been eyeballing them for awhile. The package looks nice, but they don't give that many details on the hard parts in the kit. Especially when they use their own branded parts. I would be much more trusting of them if they used a known...

The cost to change over is astronomical and I'm not sure anyone's done it successfully yet. Its not just the screen, the volume knob is relocated so its dash trim too, possibly a harness. It does look better and is nicer to live with. Bigger screen means bigger buttons for those of us who lack...

First I'll touch on toyoguard; its just a prepaid maintenance plan. It will cover tire rotations, oil changes, various filter replacements, stuff like that. Whether its worth it to you depends on you. Its obviously going to be cheaper to DIY. Probably also cheaper to have a non dealer shop do...

Actually, shutting off a hot engine all the time absolutely is bad for the turbo. Toyota obviously agrees, which is why they disabled it in tow haul mode. Which is when the turbo would be at its hottest anyway.

Its just a typical standby alot of people use. Partially from the whole "support American companies" thing people insist on. But mainly because its less by from an American headquartered company, and more don't buy from a China headquartered company. I.e. Toyota makes parts in China, but to...
