Just paid $4.93 for Shell here in southern California. That was with a 5 cent per gallon discount. I hear that we are getting another .60 per gallon tax after the 1st of the year. I hope its not true but anything is possible here in California.

I have been hearing a slight squeak that I cannot locate. I will have to crawl under and take a look. I know that the bushings are molded into these parts...... Is there anything that can be done to "quiet" them?

Well there is a silver lining to this dark cloud. The dealer that I purchased the second door check from submitted a warranty claim for the failed initial replacement part. Toyota corporate reached out to me and offered to reimburse the cost of the part and the labor cost for the initial...

Here we go again. Pulled up the driveway after work, grabbed my lunchbox, opened my truck door and was greeted with the dreaded "CLUNK"! I sat there for a minute in disbelief. It can't be back, it hasn't even been a year! I grabbed my flashlight and there it wasn't. I was missing the bottom nut...

Just a supporter of those that follow manufacturers recommendations for oil changes. My 2016 V6 developed a low oil pressure issue. After replacing an oil sending unit I got the attention of the warranty department at corporate. The dealer sent my oil out for testing and wanted to know my...

Oh geez...... But your story has a happy ending. No more door CLUNK and a 1/2" combo wrench to boot! Hope it was a snap-on.

After I removed the old door check I found that the plastic guides (inside of the door mounted end) had worn to the point of not properly supporting the check arm. The worn guides allowed the check arm to come in contact with the window regulator (when the window was down) and the door was...

Thank You!

My Tacoma developed the dreaded "Clunk" while closing the driver door (with the window down). I ordered the door check assembly (P/N 68610-04030) and while installing it I discovered that the bolt on the door frame side of the door catch was just spinning as I tried to remove it. (due to the nut...

I paid $67.58 for the display and $77 shipping. I got the screen pretty quickly and it functions exactly as the original. The seller said that he had seen this issue before with the LG screens. I reached out to LG and they acknowledged this as being a rare issue. Since I already paid for and...

After extensive searching I found a source for a Toyota premium 7" radio LCD. The radio is manufactured by Panasonic and the display LCD is manufactured by LG. They do not stock the LCD in America so I had to have it sent from China. A little over two weeks and I am now the proud owner of a new...

It says it includes electronic components. They have a clause about damaged mirrors and displays. I think they just don't cover displays no matter the fault.

There is a pan under the evaporator that has a drain line that runs near the passenger side front wheel well. You will see random black hose that sits over your frame. Run your AC for a few minutes and see if there is any water coming from that line. If not then you may have a clogged evaporator...

So I damaged the LCD on my 2016 Tacoma. I brought it into the dealer to get a price on a replacement. I was told that the technician didn't see any signs of impact or abuse to the unit so it should be covered under my extended warranty. The touch function still works and the radio works normally...
