But its for safety! Now if you was accidentally knock that connector
loose on the resistor between the battery and inner fender on the
drivers side, you’d have to take it to your friendly dealer, "as the
DRL’s would be rendered inop" and get it fixed, huh!

Rick is right -I did what he suggested on my 2000 Tundra the day after I bought
it. Now, no more DRL. Take that, you meddling, government nannies!

Maybe Rick should comment that if everyone in this group he ever answered a
question for were to send him a couple of bucks, he’d have to go to the
trouble of spending it?? :)

Apparently you didn’t read Rick’s post close enough. Rick didn’t suggest
anything, hear merly commented that any such accident would require a

Most 2000 Tundras don’t have DRL. don’t know why anyone would pay for such a
thing anyway; I know its tied to the antilock brake option by Toyota. I’d be
willing to forego all the antilocks just to avoid the DRL expense.

I have a 2000 Tundra as well.
Can someone please explain to me what the big deal is about Daytime Running
Lights?
Does everyone really hate them that much?
I just don’t get it, I have no problems with them, since I am driving.
I never really even know they are on
What gives?

Me either but there are some people that need to have their lights off while the
car is moving. Some examples include those who need to drive into military
bases, people spying on their spouses and cat burglars.

I’m new to this "prerunner" stuff too. If you didn’t buy it with a problem you
won’t have a problem. I have a ’94 4wd truck with 113,000 miles on it. As long as
you keep it serviced properly it will last forever. K

I have got a 4wd 98 tacoma (very close to the same truck) and the shifter
movement is normal. The radio hasn’t got a security code that i know of,
and i have removed it and put it back in several times in the process of
getting my amp and such to work off of the original head unit.

I’d agree, my ’88 4Runner does the same thing.

The one mistake I made when I ordered my truck was not to specify
Michelins. I was quite fortunate when they searched and found a truck
that was close to what I specified it came with the Enkes and
Michelins, N/C. I was a happy camper.
I notice the exepc.com. You a Packer fan?

Got a 99 PreRunner V6 extended cab:
The volume knob probably got water condensed inside and it almost blew up my
speakers when I slightly turned it up. Two hours later it was just fine.
The rear speakers are lousy though — plan to change them. And those 6-disk
in-dash CD changers look nice
The engine is idling at about 550, two mechanics say it’s fine, but my
lights are dimming at the stoplights — doesn’t feel right for a year old
car.
Engine runs fine, but with Regular gas it knocks and it has a lousy torque.
With 89 it’s great but my mileage is about 16/19 even though I carefully
broke the engine for the first almost 1000 miles.
Watch out for that snow and mud !!!
The transmission stick moving is normal, it adds to the truck’s character
Last, read this newsgroup and you’ll get a pretty good idea about problems
j/k, it’s a great truck

An inch or so movement when you torque-load the drivetrain is
normal. The shifter is mounted to the transmission, which is bolted
to the engine, and they have rubber mounts to the frame to allow for
this motion. If you think it’s too much, have your mechanic check the
motor mounts and the transmission cross member mounts.

I have my Factory repair manuals for both my cars and a lot of other
machinery, for several reasons.
1. If you’re on a trip and the only mechanic available has never
worked on a similar car before, it will give him solid reference.
2. It can make a big difference if you get stuck 20 miles from
civilization, and you have to figure it out yourself enough to limp
back to town.
3. If the mechanic tries to feed you a line of bafflegab about the
Left-Handed Fergus Nut being bad on the Framistram, and it needs a new
one, you can do some studying on that system to see if it actually
exists.
4. And in 20 years, the mechanics will have thrown out all their old
manuals, and you’ll have one handy for them to use.
(My emergency generator is about 55 years old, you want to talk
about a hassle finding that manual… Then you have to cross-
reference a 55-year-old mfgr’s part number to a modern one…
"I need a distributor cap." "What kind of car is this for?" "Signal
Corps PE-95G generator, by O’Keefe & Merritt." "For a What?!?"
::Sigh:: "Look under Willys MB Jeep, 152 Flathead four." "Oh, Okay.")

Yeah,I’m a Packer fan,you are lucky you didn’t get those crappy Goodyear tires,I am
now in the process of getting Toyota to replace those tires with Michelin LTX A/T
tires.Good luck on your new truck.
