I bought a 1994 Toyota Truck...actually before the Tacoma...128,000 miles for $2000. I knew the man, he was a customer of mine and I asked him if he wanted to sell it. It was in great condition before I totaled it. Yeah...sucked. So...went looking for a Tacoma...I had $5000 to spend and not...

I remember our grade school principle told us that exact same thing. So....I picked up the truck this morning. Drove it 5 miles to get it inspected...filled it up with gas after dumping 5 bucks worth of injection cleaner in the tank...then drove 37 miles to where the dealership was...the whole...

The end result of all of that is ....they threw their hands up and said they didn't know...suggested I take it to a dealership. He said there is a port for diagnostics that can only be accessed with Toyota Equipment...that only the dealerships have that...he also said that what they had been...

Thank you for your response toyotafan. I started having the problem about 3 weeks ago. Suddenly, it just bogged down and died. I let it sit for awhile, drove it a couple of miles....same thing. It was getting dark so the last time I started it, aimed for a close house and parked it till the...

This truck has 186,000 miles on it. I really don't want to take it any were else...I want these guys to fix it. I know they are good mechanics and good people...and they are not going to charge me anything like the dealership would. What they are saying is that, they pretty much have to see...

So, I put my 2000 Tacoma, automatic, 4 cylinder in the shop to have the fuel pump replaced. They replaced it, now it is back in the shop...to have the fuel pump re-replaced...which they did...but it was still dying after a bit of driving. So, they said they were 100% sure it was the Relay for...

There is no way to open this rear sliding window...it must be different than yours...I couldn't wedge anything between there. The other thing is, when you pull the door handle from the inside, it doesn't unlock the doors either. The only way to unlock the door from the inside is to physically...

Yeah, it does have a sliding rear window...I went out back and cut a piece off some sheet metal from an old barn I had. I am looking for pictures of slim jims...I am going to make one...how do I pop the lock on the rear window? - - - Updated - - - Not having any luck with my slim jim.........
