Not Clever Enough for a Clever Name

Every time I read the word in this article I read itn his voice. Nurr burrrg ring.

That was the first thing I thought of as well.  Lots of crankcase pressure could result in enough blow-by to cause a runaway condition.

They work great off-road but are as noisy as a mud terrain. I have a set on my 05 Grand Cherokee ande, without articles like this, I would not be buying them again.

I checked the Toyota Europe website and all the pictures of the Hilux show six lug hubs.  The one pictured above shows a full floating heavy duty rear axle that certainly does not appear to be on the ones currently available in Europe.

The 8 lug hubs stood out to me as well.  That rear axle is way beefier then anything I've seen on a factory Toyota truck.

Changed the plugs on a 2010 Corolla this weekend and I couldn’t agree more.  It’s a 20 minute job on this car, including gathering, then putting away my tools.  

I have found Ryan’s articles to be well researched and written. The issues with the G159 have been discussed among the RV community for some time and I am happy to see someone put this much time and energy into this topic.

After dealing with quality issues I decided I didn’t want to own one very far out of warranty.  My first was a Star Mark car so I had warranty up to 100k and I used it a lot.  I bought the E300d with around 34k miles and drove it until the warranty expired.  It’s amazing how many things wen wrong during my ownership.

I’ve had two 1999 E series cars and that wiper is certainly interesting.  It certainly covers a higher percentage of the windshield than the normal two wiper system but it did take some getting used to.

Makes me nostalgic for the 1991 Isuzu pickup I bought in 93. As others have said, the failure to idle is likely a fairly cheap fix if you can diagnose and fix it yourself. Mine had a carburetor  but this one appears to have Fuel Injection.  My first step would be to find, remove, clean and replace the Idle Air Control

Thank you for keeping this in the news.  As the owner of a motorhome of similar size the thought of having a blowout at that speed is terrifying.  Companies need to understand that their actions have consequences beyond the end of the quarter of fiscal year.

The only thing marginal I see there is your lack of tongue weight. I would have pulled up at least 6 inches and put more load on the rear of the truck. Having that much weight behind the trailer axles could cause sway similar to the video in the article. That appears to be a long-bed Dodge Ram so its length helps

That was a fine review of a fine trip.

Maybe he had heard that all of the cool kids were “Car Jacking” and he thought he’d try his luck.

I do it by feel. First, set a baseline by testing the resistance first thing in the morning before you’ve run your truck. Just grab the fan and spin it and get a feel for the resistance.

Check your fan clutch to make sure it’s working properly. If it’s not fully engaging when temps go up you’ll have this symptom. Also make sure your condenser fins aren’t damaged or plugged with gunk/bugs/etc.

Aurora and Alero are very different cars.

I was disappointed that they didn’t continue the naming trend they started earlier. The Sedan Deville became the Deville DTS and the Seville became the Seville STS.
