    CEL w/ Trac light on... thinking gas cap

    Hard Down Shift at Stop

    Anyone experienced a hard drop to first gear when at a stop? I’ve noticed that after coming to a stop, especially w/ AC on, after a few seconds there’s a hard thunk. My 4Runner did this and it was a flaw in the code for the tranny. I’m assuming it’s the same here. Thanks Everybody

    Air Recycle

    Hey Everyone, I’ve been noticing that when I turn on the air recycling button when using heat, it shuts off on its own after a few mins. Is this normal for this system?

    Serpentine Belts

    Simple question... I’m at 81k and my mechanics recommend replacing the serpentine belt. I’ve researched and like the Gates Micro V. Do I need the whole kit or just the belt? Is there a good reason to do the kit? Difference in price is substantial.

    Finally...

    I've wanted to get a Taco for far too long to mention... and finally last week I brought home my first truck. We have been a Toyota family for a long time and when our Highlander began to wind down, I stumbled on... literally found by the grace of God... this truck. It had just been traded in a...
