    So on my actuator the little white rod that sticks out and turns broke. The actuator works, when plugged in and you change the temp you can see it spin. I tried to epoxy it together but not a chance. I'd hate to buy a whole new actuator. Any ideas how to fix this or even better just a replacement piece. If I could get a broken actuator I could cherry pick the piece I need.

    Yeah.
    Looks like RockAuto has a Dorman replacement for ~$32.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    The time it would take you to fix this just buy a new one .

    Find a piece of round stock material what you can find .

    Drill both sides insert the round stock using epoxy that works on the materials involved fix.

    Haunt Junk yards looking at all Toyota`s to you find the correct part.

    Pm every seller parting out a Tacoma of the correct vintage.

    Buy new aftermarket.
