    I took out my OEM one for the same reason. It was probably good for another few years, but for the price its just not worth it. I went with an OSC. So far, so good.



    I remember when TYC tails were all the rage...and I hated them.

    Mine's still hanging in, no cracks and the fins are decent but I'm going to switch it this summer anyway. Twenty years is twenty years.

    I bought a Spectra radiator from Rock for the LX. It came packaged better than the Denso I bought last year that I still have in the box.

    The unknown radiator in the Tacoma is still hanging in there. I keep a new Denso in the box waiting for the day when it fails.

    Word for wise spark plugs make a very big difference in the 3rz get the factory recommended ones

    The ac delco ones oreillys will give you are junk

    Well I figured that was important with the 5vz being dual prong electrode

    But the 3rz uses a single prong electrode so you figure a prong is a prong, what gives

    Nope

    I would have never guessed something soo detrimental to the engines performance would be sold advertised being for that engine

    Spark plugs are resistors so, wrong resistance, bad spark, incomplete or late burn... Put in what the engine builder recommends

    I'm guessing the ching Chong coils arnt doing it any favors either

    Po sold it to me running on 3 cylinders parts cannoned the plugs wires and coils... Obviously the cheapest they could find

    Soo far I've replaced the plugs with densos and wires with ngks

    Needed an injector

    Not likely, coils, plugs, injectors, MAFs, and O2 sensors... Not great places to cheap out even if you are a habitual cheapass it'll just come back to bite you as poor fuel mileage and performance or by breaking again

    I just installed that same winch (current version, though) on the Fundra. That one looks a little older. Gets a bad rap from the keyboard warriors, but seems comparable to similar Chinese winches imo. Hopefully you're able to snag it at a great price.

    At $100 there's no such thing as a bad winch. You can't be disappointed by a $100 winch failing, you can only be impressed by how long it lasts.

    Thoughts why you think that one is rusty, there was no water in the spark plugs tube nor was it any more effort to pull out than the others

    I dropped it hence the electrode touching the ground prong
