My Dad's 2005 Toyota Tundra is at 140000 miles and needs an oil change. He last went to a speedy change shop and on cold mornings (below 0 F) he says he can hear knocking I plan to change the oil to synthetic (german castrol 0 30) and am wondering how much to put in. In the 7m I know...

If you put it in neutral without shutting the engine off (auto or manual) the stuck throttle will redline the motor = bad If you shut the engine off in gear (manual only) the wheels spinning will keep the engine moving which will allow steering pump to be turned, and vacuum to be created for...

How much you looking to get for the injectors? Any way I could get a copy of the tune, I'll have almost the exact same mods, and something to start with would help alot.

I'll give you the generic steps, I assume they won't be clear enough, so quote the step you need more help on and I will go into depth. First weld a bung on your exhaust I would go about 36 inches back from the turbo, people have different opinions on distance from turbo. Then the...

My mechanic abilities are none, pretty much everyone here knows more than me. I learn by doing and listening to IJ ;) Bottom end was rebuilt (with receipts) 10k ago when the block was resurfaced. All stock stuff, but a rebuild nonetheless. One the head comes off I'll post pictures of what...

I've tried 3 different types of phones Treos iPhone Blackberry I look for a few main things Call Quality Reception Durability NO LOCKUPS, Its a phone, should never freeze at all iPhone: Call Quality: Very Good Reception: Almost never have reception Durability: Terrible NO LOCKUPS: Locks up...

Got all the stupid stuff off the head today, all I have left before pulling valve covers and undoing head bolts is removing the turbo (I HATE removing the oil lines), and timing belt. would've had the head all set to come off if It weren't for the turbo oil lines ;) So far the list of things...

I used PB blaster a lot I also put it in a vice, stuck a prybar inside the elbow and pulled it away from the turbo

What headgasket did you use? If the block is not being resurfaced should I use a composite headgasket, or can i rely on the blocks old resurface (10k miles ago) to still be a good surface for a MHG? I think I know the answer :nono:. How can I measure the block's surface to find out if it...

I have a BHG... I figure while doing the change I should do some work that I wouldn't otherwise do. First thing is the head on the engine. It has ticking noises, and i'm sure is in a very poor condition. I would like to have it rebuilt by a machine shop. Any estimates on what a machine...

I'm saving up for college, so don't spend a lot of it. I work 2 jobs during the summer and during the day I made $15/hour, but it was taxed. Next summer I'm just not going to report that income. Working 90+ hours a week and as much as 16 hour shifts really reminds you what you're saving...

I'm 18 with an income at about 22000 dollars, paid about 4000 through withholding and still owe because I am a dependent, and just turned 18, and just reached a bracket above last year. I hate the fact that they take SO MUCH from me, I am a Senior in High school taking college level classes...

make sure insurance company knows too, otherwise they will give you a hard time/not pay if you do get in an accident

I'll do a compression test Sunday, going away for the next couple days Thanks for all the replies

What would cause this issue, I just replaced the thermostat and radiator cap (cap is stock pressure). Other than that I haven't really played around with anything that would affect the radiator (that I know of, in my relatively small knowledge of cars) What should I check?

Because it was old, it was bound to happen, the top was not black anymore, but a brownish yellowish color. The cooling system is the last real system that I need to completely redo. The last owner had a new waterpump installed and all new hoses, but no radiator change.

cool 29.99 for This One Come Summer I'm going with all new cooling system Haven't decided about the 5 speed swap, I already put too much money into the car :)

My automatic radiator has a giant crack in the top (happened at about 80mph on the highway, had to use windshield wipers after it cracked there was so much steam and coolant). I have a 5 speed radiator sitting in my basement, can I put a hose on the cooling lines for the tranny, bypassing a...
