    Oil Leak questions...

    Might be. If soon you see a white Tacoma then you will know.

    Oil Leak questions...

    Well, I got all my oil leaks resolved.......I traded my ST for a new 2022 Toyota Tacoma SR5. It's been fun but this year I'll be 70 years old and I just don't have the desire to deal with either finding a good mechanic ( I do most of my work myself on cars) or doing it myself. Both valve...

    Oil Leak questions...

    Thanks...my additional research indicates that the exhaust manifold and first pipe has to be removed....even on the drivers side. All the threads I read indicates that this is a difficult job...along with the oil adapter being a high source for leaks. In the past I could handle this, but...

    Oil Leak questions...

    So my 2004 4.0L 2WD oil leak has gotten worse in the last 6 months or so. Been leaking a few drops now and then for a few years, but now worse. Not coming from the oil filter seal, but that side of the engine has a lot of oil wetness, and its not from the valve covers. I think it's probably a...

    My power seat won't move all the way forward...why?

    Found the problem. The right-hand seat belt anchor slides on a rail as the seat moves...which apparently is covered by a plastic sleeve. There are a few places where that plastic sleeve has wear dimples...which resulted in the seat belt "catching" as it moved on the rail...thus stopping the...

    Why is my radio on?

    The problem seems to have gone away, but I also try to remember to turn the radio off prior to vehicle shut-off. I don't always remember but I haven't seen the problem either.

    My power seat won't move all the way forward...why?

    My seat will move forward, but about half-way the motor bogs and stops. Otherwise the motor seems fine. Nothing has ever been under the seat and the problem just started, preventing my wife from being able to drive the vehicle. Looking under the seat I don't see any issues. I can't figure...

    Why is my radio on?

    I'll do that, but that doesn't explain as to why the accessory would come on (without any door action) and then revert off....all while the vehicle is just sitting there in the garage. But you are right, there is a integrated switch within each door.

    Why is my radio on?

    Thanks for the reply. The fuse box diagram is also in the owners manual. What's essentially happening to my vehicle is that the "delay accessory" is being activated...or "accessory on" is being activated. When that happens, my radio will play...or the clock will be displayed, power windows...

    Why is my radio on?

    Anyone know what relay (fuse box position/number) provides power to assessories for a period of time after the key is turned off? In doing some research that is one possible cause.

    Why is my radio on?

    So I went out into the garage to find my radio playing....but the vehicle is turned off. Before I had a chance to open the door the radio turned off. Went inside the house and got the vehicle key and then validated that the key position is in the "off" position. Turned the key to accessory...

    loosing coolant

    I'm getting traces of dried coolant about my theromast housing...and thus my coolant overflow tank creeps down over time. That might be part of the problem for you...but unrelated to floor wetness.

    Mystery Noise Under Rear Of Engine (VIDEO)

    Cam chain and/or tensioner? I'm not understanding how you ruled that out, but that is what it sounds like to me.

    Temp sensor---seal question

    Ok, got all my parts from Advance Auto...and I'm taking them back. The Motorcraft thermostat is in a beat-up box, and the numbers on the thermostat don't match the package. The housing kit includes a thermostat (which I'm sure is generic), and the title clearly implies that a thermostat is...

    Aug 30 storm update

    Glad you are good. And you're totally correct...the housing and frankly all construction should be well above existing grade since everything is so flat. There is a new home being built two streets over from me. The entire roof sheeting is that crappy flake board, not plywood. Building...

    aug 29 harvey update

    That's good news. With dryer air and wind that will help in evaporation. What a mess for so many people. When we built our home in 2001, I installed a secondary wire system. I can plug in my generator and re-plug the refrigerators and have a few other active outlets. It's only a 5K watt...

    Temp sensor---seal question

    I purchased this housing...still in the mail. See link. Bought the OEM / Ford Thermostat and thermostat o-ring. Are you saying I should expect a housing with a sensor hole that won't fit my existing/original sensor? What is RH-148 ECT? Who and what part are you referring to? And the...

    Temp sensor---seal question

    2004 ST with the one (single) sensor in the thermostat housing. Have some minor coolant seepage between the low and upper housing, and same with the temp sensor area. Went ahead and purchased a new housing kit, thermostat, small lower hose, and o-ring for thermostat. Honestly, after reviewing...
