    Lots of loads all kinds of weather any time of year . Pay attention to the hitch weight and don't drive like and Idiot . The brakes on a gen2 TC are up to the task.

    Once again you Eu guy's get offered all the cool stuff, like Diesel engines and adjustable head lights and grill shutters.

    If you only have one brand of car you are working on then Forscan or the Toyota version is the best . If you have multiple types of vehicles and friends that descend on you for help a good general purpose scan tool is needed. If you are getting one spend the extra money and get the Bluetooth version the improved ease of operation is worth it.

    The new engines start really well, the most important thing on really cold starts is to let the warm up be long enough to protect the plastic parts that are now every where in the engine and transmission.

    How did you retract the pistons? Did you turn the parking brake screws back in? Cycle the pedal several times very slowly. if you push too fast the front rear proportioning valve will prevent the fluid from . If that does not work you will have to bleed the brakes.

    Where I live , Northern Vermont , if the right fluid Is used ( I use the -25 Rainex Fluid) heated nozzles are not necessary. The gas powered 2.5 starts to at least -25F as long as the the battery is in good shape.

    Did this happen all of a sudden? Have you put a real gauge into the oil gallery ? A scan tool should give you the pressure also. if the oil light is controlled by a sensor the diaphragm could have failed and when it gets hot the light will come on.

    Does the TC handle differently than it use to? Did you have the noise before the shocks were replaced I would check the bushings for looseness or assembly.

    What year? A scan tool will give you the oil pressure . If this if this happened all of a sudden then the Oil pressure sensor could have a bad diaphragm that would get worse when the oil warms up.

    Disconnect the battery for 10 min and see if that resets it. After that you need a good scan tool or Forscan to check the steering.

    Very good thanks for the up date.
  12. G B L
    Light on, you need to Scan it.

    From my experience Triax Multi spec fluid hold up better than either Mercon or the Valvoline.

    Cool!

    Which TC are we talking about the 6-F35 has no pan, but it does have a drain plug.

    Must be a counter that has a default annual counter. well if you change the oil good . If you do a reset it probably is also good. The plot thickens!

    Low idle stall

    G B L replied to G McCollum's topic in Gasoline

    Sounds like a vacuum leak somewhere, check all the hose connections to the Intake, Pcv, Brake booster Mass airflow sensor etc. let us know what you find.

    Did you scan it?
  19. G B L
    Glad you folks are OK. It is always good to see the engineers are paying attention. You will have a test in this market to find the right TC . All the best.

    I think that the one you are looking at could do the the job, if they set it up correctly. The real difference is how much the Alt will put out at an Idle and how good the windings are able to take the heat. The standard one is able to handle most of the loads at speed. The one your company sells looks ok, but it should be Ok for 495.00!!

    I have several Launch Scanners one similar to that one, for what it does it works well is pretty easy to use. The rule of thumb is the more you pay the more it sees!

    The front brakes are very large compared to the rear and the load is over the rear. Just ordered the 4th set of rotors and pads for mine, They get rusty and Lumpy around where I live. 124000+ miles and rising.
  23. G B L
    Check the pulley if very polished it could slip under the first load. Also how old is the battery?
  24. G B L
    Yes it will. You must be ready for another set of pads!
  25. G B L
    It is hard enough so they won't be stolen but much easier to change compared to the 2.5 if that becomes necessary.
