    Quick question... My E-brake cable broke the other day and I'm trying to order the right part. Since the cable is in multiple pieces I'm not sure which one to get. The cable that runs from the handle in the cab to the bracket under the driver's side is the one that broke. I think it is this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004Y42GN...TF8&colid=1L46QCOHHCQIM&coliid=I34O4AKE4ETVGX

    Can anyone verify if I found the right cable and if not point me to the right one?

    What do you guys think of my plugs? I thought it may be running a bit lean but it looks quite similar to "normal" worn out plugs when I google images of plugs. This plug had the most white on the tip. The others were similar with more of a brownish tint.

    These plugs are IK22s that went ~37,000 miles. Little longer than I wanted to go (typically change them at 30k).

    You should be running dual electrode plugs from Toyota. Bronze plugs change every 30k
    If you've got the v6 5vz

    It's has been recommended for many years to run 2 step colder plugs (denso IK 22s which have the single electrode) with the trd supercharger.

    I think your truck would look great with some prerunner fenders. They would really fill out that bumper.

    Crawl under your truck and look yourself. We can't help you as we can't see the truck. That'll pretty much solve your what cable to buy issue.

    You are of no help,I have been under the truck that is how I know what is broken. Looking under the truck doesn't give me a part number. and the diagrams I have looked at didn't give me a pert number that I could find elsewhere. I think I found the right cable but I was hoping someone could verify the part number. I don't trust Amazon to know the right part.

    Amazon parts lookup sucks. I have bought many parts that say "does not fit your vehicle" when other sources say it will...And they end up being the correct part.

    Amazon has some good deals on OEM stuff, but buy by part number only. Sometimes the reviews are helpful for fitment too. Just Ignore the parts lookup feature.

    Such unfortunate news. My condolences. But at least the most important part is still okay. Keep an eye out for any pains you didn't notice right away though.
