    yeah, it might be! I know that a falty sensor can cause some issues like bad mpg's, run slugish, and loss of power, without through a code/CEL.
    So if has never been deen, and your truck is over 100k miles. It would probably be a good idea. :)
    I will be getting my other one soon.

    Thanks man. I sat there for like a half hour thinking it up. I call my truck the Yota, Taco, and the Tacoma, so I figured ChrisYotacoma= Yota Tacoma...

    Yeah those clear lights will be sweet. Can't wait for them to get here... It will take out all that amber nastiness.

    Blinkers are in excellent shape. Sell them...? If you want to pick up shipping, you can have them.

    I'll let you know whan I pull them out.

    Oh yeah I will be sure to post pics the minute they are all in.

    Just replaced my rotors.. The ones I just replaced 5 months ago were crap, the drivers side warped again. this time they better not!!!

    Undercoated my ENTIRE frame. Being as mine is a rust free frame of the worst years of the rust issue I wanted to keep it rust free.

    Just bought a powered buffer, so today as soon as the rain stops, I'm going to polish my truck. It's a red 2000 (which doesn't have clear coat) that's faded. I did half the truck a month ago, and it worked really good. Looks like new where I polished it by hand. It was a lot of work though. Now I have power....hu hu hu... let it shine....:D

    I did the same thing...LOL. I did the cab first by hand, and it was NOT fun. Mine is white, but the brother in law never waxed it for the 5 years he had it so it was dull big time. i need a buffer.

    Being in Florida, "if your on the coast", your not in a "rust free" zone. My cousin lived in Daytona Beach until moved 5 years ago. He always had rust issues on his vehicals from the salty air living on the coast. Plus, he was only 1 block from the beach, and drove on the beach daily, which didn't help.

    Nah, I'm on the west Coast side about 25 miles from the Gulf. i lived on the East coast in Melbourne, FL. south of Daytona and I know what you are talking about. The cars on "beachside" as we call it there, had rust issues big time. I'm safe here.
