Just took on a load of fuel. $48.36 for 17.09 gallons for 330.8 miles......pushing 19.4 mpg. Burning E15. 4.0L V-6, AT, 4WD, plus stiff KS wind. Mostly headwind anywhere from 30-50 mph. Enough to peel the hide off a Rhino.

Yep.....and a meteor may land on your house tonight while you sleep.

Agreed. Fuel pressure regulators seldom fail. If you haven't, suggest you pull the 100K maintenance. Its mostly fluids and plug change.

Hey! I've been looking for my socks.

@JayQQ97 I have offered you help on numerous occasions and on many problems. Same as I have to other members. I've also shared my diagnosis techniques and my repair efforts. Your 2nd statement is pretty offensive. You will do as you want. I feel sympathy for your mechanics.

Lets not mix your issues into Steffco's question.

Its not the fact you have health issues. Its the whining about it that is irritating. If you can't do the work, then you need to hire the work done. Then refrain from being a backseat mechanic.

Suggest taking a look at NAPA for the filter. Keep shopping. Agreed RockAuto's shipping is stiff.

@steffco What are the symptoms you are experiencing? What diagnosis have you done to isolate the fuel pressure regulator?

That is a prime way to skew the data and shade the results to support your theory. You must be running for office this November.

I'm sure there are examples of any situation. The reality is those examples are most often the extremes. To use statistics, beyond the +/- 3 sigma out in the tails of distribution.....or in the 0.1% of the population of owners.

Should I reference the timely repair of the clutch and throw out bearing...................as an example of fastidious timely repair. or wheel bearings, or tie rods, or brakes. I'm sure there are others, but these are recent.

ROFLMAO. I have yet to hear of a differential rusting through.

Unless I miss counted. 1 injector per cylinder. I thought you were pushing a 4 popper. Or is this the in-laws truck?? If its the in-laws truck......the cost to repair is on them. So, take to the dealer and get it fixed.

I don't look anymore. I need the fuel to take care of my responsibilities.

Yeah,.... the mechanic in a bottle is always sure to lighten the wallet without much impact.

Wow.....thats a load.

This forum has a Maintenance and Repair Section. hunnnh......didn't realize this was an all inclusive repair manual for Tacomas.

TRust me. If the fuel pump is faulty, there will be more engine running issues than lowered mpg. Generally speaking, fuel pumps run or they don't. Frankly, I think after the number of miles on your truck that the fuel injectors are shot. Yes, they are expensive to replace. But fuel...

Sorry. I got to agree with Tacojoel. The only person needing education is Jay. FWIW, I wouldn't take my laptop or phone under the truck. It may be sitting on a nearby workbench plugged in to the 120 Vac.
