What happens when a shop uses the wrong plugs!

Lol yes! It's helpful and we can all know why the double electrode plug should be used. I just sent for two Haynes books I didn't quite get lucky enough that the same manual would cover my dads 1995 Runner I need to see if I can get that running. Thanx again

 

I'm looking for some thoughts. I am trying to decide whether it's worth putting a rebuilt rack in my truck my truck was leaking ps fluid, and I needed to take it to mechanic ( I think I have a good one this time.) I just did tune up, I also did front brakes calipers and rotors, new tires. I currently have 433580 miles on it. It has cost me O2 sensors x2 and catalytic converter in its life time. It's a 2002. The mech told me the rack has $200 core charge which I would not be eligible for as the end mounts are rusted and it won't be able to be rebuilt. There are probably other issues waiting to present. I am sure a new truck is in my future,if I go for the $1000 fix how much time will it buy me? I know there is no answer for that. Does anybody know anything about the 2015 or 2016 tacos?

 

You can replace the rack yourself and save a good bit on labor and take the core in and let the auto parts store decide if they'll take it or not. At 433XXX you're doing pretty well if that's all you've gone through other than regular maintenance items. I'd keep running it unless there is more stuff under the surface, which again at 433XXX there probably is. I bet you could get someone to take it if you decide to sell though.
