#504 of 539 Re: 2001 xtra cab 4x4 2.7L [cmiles97] by jazzbeau Feb 25, 2008 (5:33 pm)
Replying to: cmiles97 (Feb 25, 2008 2:30 pm) Hi! I understand your confusion regarding the differences in mileage. One thing to note is that weight to power ratio is way in favor of the Dodge. The Dodge has 14 HP per pound compared to 23 HP per pound for the Yota. 4906/345=14, 3470/150=23. Gearing is another factor to weigh in. When I was a kid, 10-12? y/o? we had a '55 Cadillac that weighed as much or more than your Dodge, it had a 270HP 2, 4 barrel carb. set up and consistently got in the low 20's on the road. It's a weird thing I know. I never saw a significant difference with synthetic oils in my experience.. Amzoil, Mobil 1 etc, etc. One thing that will help your Yota is a K&N intake set up but it will take a while to pay for itself.. but 2-3 yrs down the road it will help. I'd just not worry about any kind of big mpg increase, It's not going to happen ! Take care and thanks for your response

Replying to: tmiller159 (Jan 25, 2008 7:22 pm) Where did you find a used frame? I have a 2001 Tacoma with a clean body and solid engine and transmission. The rear end of the frame is completely rusted out and I am thinking of putting it back on a solid frame for my son. None of the salvage yards near me have anything and I haven't been able to find anything on-line. New frames from Toyota are $3600. Rather not spend that much.

Replying to: jwoody61 (Feb 28, 2008 1:55 pm) I have not found a frame yet but they are out there. I am saving up the money to do it first. The expense is in the freight charges to get it from whoever has it to you. There are a number of Toyota Truck recyclers on Google. Look for a light rollover and you will be good to go.
#507 of 539 Spark Plugs by damogr81 Mar 04, 2008 (3:58 am)
I have a 02 Tacoma. Just wondering how to get the spark plugs off? The driver side pulls right off, but the passenger side looks like there is a harness to. Any suggestions?

Replying to: tmiller159 (Jan 25, 2008 7:22 pm) Hark! Someone listens. Toyota admitted this flaw in this era of Tacomas.   You can get the specifics here, but the gist is that the frames will be extended to 150K or so, and replaced or reparied at toyota expense.   http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/07/toyota-extends-rust-warranty-on-older-tacoma-- pickups-to-15-years/   similar statements have been cross-posted by others. I luckily have not had this problem yet.
#510 of 539 04 Tacoma 4 cyl O2 sensor by mikefm58 Mar 14, 2008 (5:47 am)
Check engine light came on after picking up the vehicle from the dealer, in for service for brakes and new spark plugs, diagnosed as a bad O2 sensor, $359 please. The vehicle only has 39K miles and is about 8 months out of warranty. I'm trying to get some out of warranty assistance through Toyota but I'm not holding my breath. O2 sensors should not go like this one did. Replies to this message: tmiller159 (Mar 14, 2008 8:55 am) mikefm58 (Mar 14, 2008 2:02 pm)

Replying to: mikefm58 (Mar 14, 2008 5:47 am) Should be covered under warranty for 50k miles as part of the emissions equipment. TEMiller Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Mar 14, 2008 2:02 pm)

Replying to: tmiller159 (Mar 14, 2008 8:55 am) Nope, I tried that, it's on the 3yr/36K warranty. My truck is just under 4 yrs old and 39K miles.
