    Any engine problems like you described are typically fixed with a spark plug change....90% of the time. May as well replace all 8 if it hasn't been done lately~

    Cleat nut size?

    Okay, I’m confused.... The service manual says the nuts on my cleats are 5/16 X 18. I know the outside size is 1 1/4. When doing a search I’m reading the inside diameter is 7/8 X 18 according to several threads. Which is it? 5/16 doesn’t even seem close for the strength needed on a cleat. Even...

    1019 hrs when we left Norris last week. almost talked myself out of buying a newer boat! I’d lose a large bimini, gull wing doors, holeshot and walk-thru.....to get a Red AR240 , I’d have to move up to the 242X -🤷‍♂️

    Which Tundra suspension, TRD Sport or TRD Off-Road Package?

    Thanks for your insights! After driving both and taking my time deciding, I'm going Crew Max SR5 TRD Off Road package and NOT the Sport package. Both rides were almost identical but the Columbus pothole test put the Off Road pkg ahead during my test drives. I have to say I've been impressed with...

    Just wanted feed back from the Tundra owners. I'm getting ready to replace my 2007 Toyota Tundra SR-5 double cab TRD Off-road with basically same truck. Major difference being, I'm going to the Crew Max and I've pretty much talked myself into going with the TRD Sport package over the Off road...
