Hi All - about 1 week ago I noticed that the climate control temp knob on my '01 2.4 liter Tacoma was becoming fussy - there was a fine line (almost non existent) between freezing and boiling hot. Over the course of the week - the fine line moved further and further from "12-O-clock" to "7 O-clock". At this point - I have the knob adjusted all the way to the cold side - but if the truck is warmed up - there's no hope - you're going to melt.

Anyone have any experience with this?

extra info: mileage = 160k
original thermostat/AC/heater/radiator

thanks everyone!
