#10886 of 10948 Re: Torque drive shaft [jackmick656] by lmacmil Apr 29, 2008 (6:48 am)
Replying to: jackmick656 (Apr 28, 2008 8:41 am) I had the dealer do it at 15,000 miles since it was in the scheduled maintenance. I have no idea if it was necessary or not but since Toyota recommends it every 15,000 miles, I will probably continue to have it done. I have a torque wrench but no good way to lift the vehicle up and support it.

Replying to: jackmick656 (Apr 28, 2008 8:41 am) I never did it, and my HL went 121,000 miles without a problem.   They only suggest doing it if you drive under the "severe" classification.   I would not recomment loosening then re-torquing. If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Thanks for all the input.
#10889 of 10948 07, 4 cylinder, AWD Question by andrelaplume May 01, 2008 (11:28 am)
Dad traded his 6 cylinder for a leftover 07 (old style) HL. Its automatic, AWD and 4 cylinder. He says it peppy but he only gets 20mpg on the highway! I said this can't be right. The dealer says they may need to reprogram the computer...HUH? Anyone ever hear of this? Anyone with any real world mpg with this model HL?

Replying to: andrelaplume (May 01, 2008 11:28 am) my 2003 V6 HL averaged about 20 mpg (mixed commute / freeway) If I drove freeway only at 80-85 mph, it would get 21 mpg   my new 08 HL gets 21 in mixed drving and 23 on the freeway Replies to this message: andrelaplume (May 02, 2008 10:37 am) nvbanker (May 03, 2008 1:46 pm)

Replying to: nimrod99 (May 01, 2008 1:38 pm) shouldn't the 4 cylinder do better....btw, his old 6 cylinder did better...what gives here? Replies to this message: nvbanker (May 03, 2008 1:46 pm)

Replying to: andrelaplume (May 02, 2008 10:37 am) Generally, that is the accepted theory - but it is possible under certain driving conditions especially, for the 6 to exceed the mileage in the 4 cylinder. The weight and drag co-efficient are more determinant of the gas needed to move the mass, than the number of cylinders doing it. Again, especially under certain driving conditions.

Replying to: andrelaplume (May 01, 2008 11:28 am) I have 2004 4 cyl 2wd Highlander rated 27 mpg on highway and have no problem getting that figure at 65-70 mph. Believe the 2007 awd 4cyl is rated at 25 mpg, if he's doing very fast speeds, no 25 mpg is possible. Replies to this message: andrelaplume (May 05, 2008 5:33 am) typesix (May 07, 2008 5:09 pm)
#10894 of 10948 Spare tire by jackmick656 May 03, 2008 (3:49 pm)
I have never used the spare tire on my 03 HL and I am ready for a set of tires. My question is, can I buy three new Integtity tires and use my spare as the fourth tire? I am concerned about deterioration of the spare over the last five years. Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: jackmick656 (May 03, 2008 3:49 pm) I plan on doing exactly that as well. We had to replace a flat tire a couple years ago so I left that one as the spare. Now I need new tires so I'll just buy 3 more of the exact kind.
