    Only reports are that the Off-Road models being built in the plant in Bezerkistan are coming through low on blinker fluid.. All the other 3rd gens seem to be fine.
    Sadly, that means that the blinkers only work half the time...now they are on, now they are off, now they are on, now they are off...and so on.

    These postings are way to funny! It's surprising to me that more people do not know about rotating the air in their tires! Public schools are not doing their job!

    a bunch of new/used parts....and some skids.
    Anyone try flipping the muffler bearing instead of greasing? I heard it makes the exhaust release valve drip less water.

    Interested in this answer, because I've got a guy wanting to to sell me his 3rd gen TRD blinkers, but I'm not sure if they are compatible with my 2nd gen.

    The fluid is interchangeable between 3rd and 2nd gen's. The 3rd gen fluid does have a little more mouse milk which I understand helps in reducing glare.

    Yep. Seriously. The Prius or some hybrid car has a 2 stage exhaust similar to GMPP exhausts on corvette with butterfly valves in it for emissions purposes, and in order for those valves to work correctly they have bearings within the exhaust to allow proper rotation of those valves.

    Seriously I'm not even kidding. I took some hybrid car/ electric vehicle courses this last weekend and that was part of the discussion. It was funny at first until I realized the teacher wasn't BSing us.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Get super ironic: direct it at hybrids and watch the uninformed think they "get" the joke.

    We don't need blinkers here in Boston. I'm sure my blinker fluid dried up a long time ago.

    Not only does it drip less water, it'll add twice the life to the bearing AND it pressure pressure to the pfitzer valves located just after the manifold and just before the catalytic which adds BOOOOOST!!! I ramped up 1,000 more RPM....almost 150 HP.

    Two mods for the price of one :yes:

    Cheaper then putting on the TRD Shift knob, too! AND, you get more of a horsepower boost, to boot!

    Okay guys I used my hook up to get us these amazing bottles of the best blinker fluid on the market. It's only 199.99 + 9.95 Processing and handling. But wait there's more. If you call right now he will double the offer to 2 bottles for the same price just pay another 9.95 Process and handling. But wait there's more. If you buy now he will also throw in a bottle of flex seal to keep the Muffler bearing from falling out. And a free T shirt to the first 100 callers of 1-800-YOU-DOPE
