Take another look. It's completely rotted out.

My 1995 truck has a horn that works fine when it's above freezing but when it gets very cold the horn stops working. Not a peep, nothing. It's all or nothing. Anyone else have this happen? I suspect the horn relay.

No such thing as rear fog lights!

My truck has a rival! Mine is a 1995 DX (the last of them) with 27k miles, also rust-free because my late father had it sprayed with Rustop annually for 19 years. I love and miss him very much.

I inherited Dad's '95 Toyota DX pickup. 27k miles, no rust. It's better than my Ranger but it lacks A/C. Can't have everything. I miss him.

I'll bite!

Your choices are replace the head gasket and have a $3500 truck or you can an sell it for parts. Sadly everything else you did is moot in the car business. Best of luck to you.

It sounds like you performed the truck's first oil change. I pray you don't have clogged oil galleys and resulting bearing damage but it sounds like there is. MMO is a good product but it's not magic. It's best used as an oil additive for vehicles that take old school oil. Best of luck.

It seems odd to me that Rustop is relatively unknown despite the fact it works so well. We have a '95 Toyota pickup and a 98 Contour still rust free and buffalo is the rust capital of North America!

I have the same truck but it's a stock 1995 with 27,000 miles. It averages 22.5 mpg in the summer in 2WD suburban driving. Giant mud tires kill mileage don't worry about the bug deflector!

Every message board has an oil debate. Synthetic outlasts conventional oil but as long as you change it often enough and use the recommended type and weight you can't go wrong with either. Clean oil is better than dirty oil and will protect your driveline for 200k miles or more if it's kept clean.

I have two 5-lug Ford wheels with brand new tires on them ready for winter. Interested?

Prices are dropping but as of today we are at $3.40-$3.44 in the Buffalo, NY area. We always pay among the highest prices in the nation. NY State Democrat Tax Machine in action don't ya know!

Hate to let you down, but I googled "Toyota message boards".
