    None...yet
    So, this being a new truck and all I ordered the harness pigtail for the port injectors vice repairing the old one. $48 and available the next morning. (Today). My wife picked it up on her way home from school. Lo and behold, it's the wrong part. (Suspend your shock) This parts guy asked me no less than 5 times what side of the block it was on. Drivers or passenger. I told him drivers. He sent it to me with the receipt and a printout of the parts diagram. I'm looking for the Drivers side Port injector harness mind you. The part he ordered is the passengers side direct injector harness. 100% opposite of everything it was supposed to be. In the diagram he circled the harness he ordered, which has a line clearly drawn to the passenger side although it's removed to the drivers side of the diagram. I'm in awe at the ineptitude in this exchange.
    Looking at you Coggin Toyota of Jacksonville. It's not the first time they've dicked me. I went with them because they're the closest and I need my truck. Never again. Fooled me twice now. Shame on me.
    Rant over. Just needed to vent that. Feels better already. By Tuesday I'll Make Tacoma Great Again!

    I opened the door this morning and there was a mouse carcass in 3 pieces and some blood, my cat looked so happy for me to see she caught it!

    Better ask wise old owl. I have no idea.

    Wish a mouse would build a nest in mine and the engine would catch fire so I could get me a different colored truck. :D

    For vehicle storage inside, nothing beats sticky pads around each tire. 4-5 packs will do a vehicle, buy one extra to replace any pads that catch a critter. I can usually find them for sale for $2 each. [comes with 6-8 pads in each package]

    I went through 12 glue traps this fall getting rid of them...
    No damage yet, but they chew everything...

    Have to use the rat sized glue traps and catch them one by one.

    Rodents got my wiring over the weekend...check engine light and TRAC OFF light illuminated. Scanner threw a cam sensor code, cruise control doesn't work, wiper fluid pump isn't working and I cannot switch traction control on and off...thank goodness for zero deductible comprehensive coverage. Truck goes in tomorrow to estimate the damage.

    My '02 wouldn't start one day. Mice chewed through sensor wire in the top of the V. I'm like, what is this sensor that won't allow the truck to start? Some temp sensor. I was so pissed it wouldn't allow it to start.
