#7552 of 7561 catalytic converter protection by tacomaguy Sep 26, 2008 (4:29 pm)
My town is getting hit hard by converter thieves. Toyota trucks, with their high clearance, bolt-on converters and precious metals in the unit, are prime targets. There is a company that sells wire cages made out of aircraft cables. They can't be cut with a sawzall and they are connected to the truck so even if the pipes are cut they can't pull the unit loose. About $238.00 as I recall. On trips, or if you park in a lot during the day, someone could cut off an un-protected unit in seconds. I wouldn't advise trying to cover it with a skid plate or similar protecter because of the heat build up. Thoughts?

catclamp.com sells a converter guard made out of aircraft wire for $269.95. Most people have insurance deductibles higher than that, so any theft loss is going to cost you out of pocket expense to get it replaced. Besides, you can transfer it to the next vehicle when you decide to sell. Anyone who ever parks their truck in an un-guarded area, should look into this product.
#7554 of 7561 Airbag sensor by jaybird12 Dec 03, 2008 (8:06 pm)
I have a 2005 tacoma sport double cab. My airbag light recently came on and when I brought it to the dealership I was told that the left front sensor had corroded along with the wire harness. I was then told that this was a repair upwards of $3000!! Does anyone know if this is a recall, I can't see how this can be considered normal wear and tear on a 3 year old truck.   Thanks Jay Replies to this message: wsuiter (Dec 03, 2008 9:23 pm) jaybird12 (Dec 03, 2008 10:31 pm)

Replying to: jaybird12 (Dec 03, 2008 8:06 pm) i have a '05 dbl cab off road, my light came on about a month ago and i took mine in to the dealer. i have a 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty, i now found out it isn't so bmpr to bmpr. They told me that the computer behind the driver air bag went out and that the warranty does not cover it and that i need to shell out $890 bucks to get it replaced. i dont know what is going on, i was waiting to hear if someone else was having the same problem. my compass/temp went out (another $1,000) but the warranty people covered that. i guess when i am laying in the middle of the road dying from an injury because my airbag doesn't work, at least the EMS people will know what the temp. is outside and which direction i was facing. i haven't replaced my computer yet, i dont know if i will. i looked into it a little bit and have not been able to find any recalls. if i find one, i will be sure to post it on here, anyone else, PLEASE do the same.   Thanks, Wayne Replies to this message: jaybird12 (Dec 03, 2008 10:31 pm)

Replying to: sae (May 01, 2008 10:27 am) had the same thing happen on my '05 dbl cab. Found out it is the u-joint from the trany to the d-shaft. parts and labor at my dealer was $42. works great now and have had no more issues.   Thanks, Wayne Replies to this message: LeoRivera (Feb 09, 2009 7:42 pm)

Replying to: wsuiter (Dec 03, 2008 9:23 pm) My compass/temp just recently went out also. The other problem with my airbag light being on is that my truck will not pass inspection in MA until it is fixed. My next move will be to try and find a local machanic that can splice these wires until I figure out what Im going to do in the long run.

Replying to: wsuiter (Dec 03, 2008 9:32 pm) I own a 2005 tacoma and the srs(airbags) light came on and and its been on for a good while. I connected the comp to it and it game a PO198 code. Does anyone know that that means? The comp says the code info is not available. Looked it up on all data and that code is not even listed.
#7559 of 7561 1987 Ford Bronco II need parts by 1repair_joe Jun 02, 2009 (10:31 pm)
I have a Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer Edition that a friend gave me. I need to have it smogged but cannot get it passed due to a missing hose. I do not see where the hose should connect to stop the escape. Does anyone have a similar truck that you can help me find the solution to my problem. I would rather do it myself and save some money on it. Just to have the diagonistic it will cost another $100. Maybe some one out there can give me some info. Thanks,

At 90,000 miles my 2006 Toyota Tacoma (Extended Cab, 4WD, 6 cy, auto, TRD) came up with the following problems:   1 & 2) air bag light went on - a coil under the air bag broke and oil pressure sensor wire/harness needed to be replaced because the wire broke ($680 to fix - already done). 3) compass/temp stopped working ($289 to fix - it's not getting fixed). 4) oil leak - timing chain cover needs to be resealed ($1400 to fix - going in today)   Those are the bad things, but they are the first problems and my front brakes lasted 85,000 miles and my rear ones have not needed to be replaced. I went through brakes every 30,000 to 40,000 on my last truck, which was a Ford Ranger. Replies to this message: bigandy (Jul 01, 2009 11:04 pm)

Replying to: kwing (Jun 30, 2009 6:34 am) Regarding the compass/temp problem, you can fix it yourself if you know how to solder. There's only one screw holding the whole unit in place. Push it toward the front of the truck and then pull down to get it out. There are two cable groups that unplug and and then get the circuit board out. Resolder the two resistors marked "510" and you're back in business. If the compass needs to be reset there is TSB available that shows to do it. Google the TSB.
