    Spare Tire Life Span

    Interesting timing. I bought my 2012 133,000 miles ago and have never even lowered the spare, let alone used it. Using the valuable members of this Forum, I decided to change my rear diff cover and oil, and upgrade the cover to a Dorman unit ($130). Much easier to replace the cover with the...

    PS Pump removal proscess...can anyone map it out?

    BenBB, thanks for the help. I was able to get to that last bolt, but I had to remove the pulley. Had to use my smallest 10mm combo wrench, and it went a flat at a time. Definitely had to remove this one last of the 3, as I needed the room created by the pump as it "fell". That damn high...

    PS Pump removal proscess...can anyone map it out?

    I was feeling some slight vibration in the wheel, so decided to replace my stock (131K) pump. Man, what a hassle! I have the lines disconnected up top, removed the reservoir, removed the coolant reservoir/air cleaner assembly, and was able to see and remove the top pump bolt (10mm by the way!)...

    C'mon, fellas, why so defensive? I appreciate the OP for posting, and I will take his advice. This Forum has helped me immensely in my 13 years of Gen 1 ownership.

    DIY 6.2 Spark Plug Change

    Thanks everyone for your comments. CoronaRaptor, went with your suggestions for my '12 with 122,000 miles. I found a very big price difference for the Motorcraft coils between Napa, Autozone, O'Reilly, CarParts.com, Amazon, and RockAuto. I saved almost $200 going with RockAuto (wires, coils...

    First time truck owner From Prius to 2020 Raptor

    Welcome, Briggs! You'll find the Raptor will be a reliable, good looking fast lane occupant. Thanks for getting out of the fast lane in your Prius. Now you'll be saying what Raptor owners say when rolling up on a Prius-led traffic jam: "Damn, I got Prius-ed!".

    GEN 1 Dealership transmission flush

    99,000 miles; decided to follow all the advice and change my own tranny oil. Bought the Dorman pan. Overall, job went flawlessly, just like the videos. Lessons learned: should have went to Home Depot or Lowe's and purchased the cement/mortar tub that one reader suggested for a drain pan...
