    Well I joined this forum today, after taking out Pioneer unit. Then putting factory back in. Then noticed that my A/C switch light is out along with my ash tray light is out.

    Anyone know the specs on these two items?:confused: Thanks!!

    I had 31s and just recently got 33s. It def. feels different but unless your anal about power it's not bad. I tow my 16 ft jon boat with no problem. Just have to get used to the new shift points and get used to the little higher rpms when towing or up steep grades

    Well the ac switch light is only able to be changed by changing the whole switch unit. The ashtray light is like a 74 bulb size

    So Toyota said they were sorry about giving me the wrong spark plugs and gave me the correct ones... Took like all of 20-30 mins to finish up the project. Wasn't bad at all.


    Also helped my friend fix a few sections of fence in their horse pasture. This is the extra lumber and tools we didn't use. What a day. Haha

    I'm not exactly sure on either of those but I would imagine they are 194 or 74 as with the other dash/gauge lights.

    Maybe someone else knows for sure.

    Red would be nice for ease on the eyes while driving at night.

    I wonder how that'd look in my truck with the yellow needles

    I think I need to check my MAF...Just went through a half a tank going 131 miles towing a boat and gear. That's only about 14 mpg. Any suggestions? I normally get 18
