MARYLAND TACOMAS

A lot of failures occur simply because they aren't Toyotas.....

 

Guarantee there is more mud under mine. I haven't washed the underside since maybe april....

 

LOL

 

Yes, the A750F 5 Speed Auto has clutch disks, although i don't see them listed anywhere as a wear item, so they don't seem to be a common failure.

 

Anything can fail.

 

yep, anything mechanical is, by nature, prone to failure.... some things just break more than others.

 

You know why i chose toyota? My oldsmobile blew up. Was general motors through and through. I'm a toyota fanboy now

 

yeah sure if you wanna come to Arlington, brakes are easy, will talk you through it on the phone too fi you want

 

Was it the engine that went south? If it was a 6 cylinder I bet it was the 3.4L. A POS!

 

Did the SS brake lines on my truck. I'm in Harpers Ferry if you want to make the trip. Like Sky said I can talk you through it on the phone. Basically disconnect the old lines, install the new and let them gravity drain as long as possible before hooking them back up at the lower points. DON'T let the reservoir go dry or you'll be looking at a tow to the dealer.

 

They wear out in the GM transmission. Under normal use expect 150 to 175K life. If you abuse them, using the shifter to shift through the gears under hard acceleration expect only 100 to 125K of useful life.

 

3.1L

I call the Trailblazer, the TransBlazer

They killed the blazer with that one *sigh*

 

My friend has a blazer, is it gonna blow up?

 

Probably not. I love the 4.3L v6

 

What year is the 4.3?

 

I don't know. I wanted an 03 S10 ZR2 before i got my tacoma

 

Any of you guys going to Shamokin on Aug 1st - 3rd?

 

I had a 89 s10 blazer that i bought new and ran it everyday for 15 yrs 4.3 was a great moter

 

Not me.

 

The 4.3 is still used today in a chevy Silverado with dual turbos according to my blazer friend or that vehicle is coming out to compete with the ford f150 ecoboost
