FA: New set of V-6 Spark Plugs

I sold my 4Runner, now I have to sell the left-over parts.

I have a set of six brand-new, still-in-the-box plugs for the ’97 4Runner
with the V-6 that also fit other Toyota V-6′s.

The Toyota part number is: 90919-01192.

The Nippon Denso part number is: K16TR11.

I have them up for auction on Ebay. So far, no bids. You can probably pick
them up cheap!

You can check them out/bid at:

Thanks.

So did the output flange come off?

Nope, different unit.  Autos have a chain driven case, stick is gear driven.

In the gear driven, there are top shift and forward shift usits.  You’ll want to get the same style as you have now.

Rear axle limited-slip upgrade for '02 Tundra V-6 4×2?

   I am looking for cost/feasibility info on adding limited-slip to a
recently purchased 2002 Tundra 4×2 with the V-6.  I know for the V-8 you can
buy a complete third-member from TRD and swap it out with the one you
already have.  However, I have been unable to find anything for the V-6
Tundra.  Here in Pennsylvania where we get some snow and often ice-storms in
winter, it seems like a very worthwhile upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

87 4 runner brakes ???

The brake line on my 87 4 runner cracked due to rust and was I lucky to
avoid a nasty accident. The rear line leaked and the front brakes didn’t
seem to work.
 The line was replaced and it seems like the pedal goes almost to the floor
before the truck stops. The brakes are adjusted and bled.
 How can I test the master cylinder and why didn’t the front brakes work?

Thanks Arezee

Need Contructive Feedback On Product/Not Intended As A Commerical Post!!

Hi Everybody!

I work with a small company with an American made product called the "E-Z
Load Gate." It is a adjustable truck gate for the back of pick-up trucks,
suv’s, vans, trailers, etc.

Although we are thrilled to have been featured in the current issue of
"Truck Trend" Magazine, we are still looking for positive ways to get the
word out.

To that point, I am looking for two things, positive or at least
constructive feedback on our web site, and two, suggestions for finding
opt-in e-mail lists for truck enthusiasts and/or truck clubs.

Although it would not hurt my feelings, I am not seeking immed, sales. I do
not work on commission, and in fact, everyone associated with the company
has been working without pay since the company was started so the money
could go into developing, getting the patent, and getting the word out.

If you are interested in giving us some positive feedback, please give us a
look at: www.ezloadgate.com/

Toyota Tire Recall

Has anyone owning a 2001 Toyota been notified that there is a recall on
tires?  I believe it has something to do with the sidewalls.  What is this
all about?  I received an e-mail notice from my dealer that had the
following listed under recall "TIRES:SIDEWALL."

THERMOSTAT QUESTION

I have a 2002 Tacoma 4cyl 2.7 L 4X4 running a 195 deg. thermostat I know
this is factory spec. The question is would any harm be done changing it
out to a 180 deg.

Would the computer be affected and would milage be lower?

Thanks

Barry
