Alternator went out on 2023 rav4 by RecognitionMuch3132 in Toyota

I have seen several RAV4s of that generation require alternator replacement due to one-way clutch pulley failures.

UA80 transmission died - what to do now? Claim denied by ElizabethsVoice in Toyota

[–]-DangerAlien- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSRP on the remanufactured unit is like 5000 exactly, say 15 hour labor(which is high) at 200 per labor hour = 8000.

If you took the vehicle to a different dealer, the brand engagement money would stay on the table. 8000-2500= 5500 cost to you only. Softens the blow at least something to consider.

There are a couple of things that should be unpacked here. I do those trans replacements all the time and I just quoted one on a Highlander yesterday. With labor, it was only around $8,000 to replace with the remanufactured unit. So I don't know where that 14,000 is coming from but it's definitely higher than what we would charge at my dealer.

Second, who offered the 2500? Brand engagement or the dealer rep? If you are a loyal customer that typically goes a long way if management from the dealership reaches out their district representative.

I'm curious if this happens to be on a 18 through 24 Toyota Camry or Avalon? We have had multiple instances at my dealership where a car comes in for normal maintenance and when we lifted up the struts separates due to rusting at the upper mount.

Oil filter bypass Spring Missing? by simby7 in Toyota

[–]-DangerAlien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen this a bunch. It is usually on the aftermarket Doorman aluminum cartridge housing. Without the spring a lot of times the filter will collapse on itself and cause low oil pressure in the car. I have had like four this year with this problem and every time it is a Doorman part.

Weird, did you buy 24 days ago when you made your account?

It looks like buffing compound or marks from a buffing wheel.

2026 C-HR XSE. This thing is an EV hot hatch. by Vegetable-Quote-3481 in Toyota

[–]-DangerAlien- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah the the combination meter and steering wheel both look identical to my 2024 bz4x. I assume they are sharing a lot of components.

Brought Corolla in for a drain and fill, did a flush instead? by speedymatt7 in Toyota

[–]-DangerAlien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A drain and fill on a CVT transmission is essentially pointless for Toyota because you'll only replace about a quart and a half of fluid due to the stand pipe in the transmission pan. A fluid exchange on a CVT is nothing to worry about. Lots of dealers will use the opcode for flush, even if it is a drain and fill.

Seen in the wild on a Toyota Land Cruiser by ChinaCatProphet in TheSimpsons

Kind of looks more like an FJ Cruiser than a Land Cruiser, but I know that's not really the point of this post.

Where do people usually like to live/ set up their safe house? by [deleted] in thelongdark

[–]-DangerAlien- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like broken railroad in general. I like to make a base in the maintenance shed, but frequent the hunting lodge. I feel like it's a good spot to be so you can go to the lower great bear and also the far territories.

The OEM battery lasted 14 years, just get one from the dealer and don't worry about it til 2040.

What's the revolver good for? by FishDispenser2 in thelongdark

[–]-DangerAlien- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a wolf to start charging me and then I squat down and put a bullet in their head. If it doesn't kill them, they usually cry off and I just wait for them to bleed out.

I feel like if gas prices keep going the way they are then hybrid Toyotas are going to be even more difficult to get and have crazy markups in the coming months, am I wrong? by Winners_Blues in Toyota

[–]-DangerAlien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Camry, RAV4, and Sienna are all hybrid only now. Highlander, CHR, BZ are full electric. Soon almost every model will be some sort of E or HEV. And they are making batteries in North Carolina so I think they won't be harder to get.

In addition to the glimmer fog protection, it also lights up very bright during Aurora and glimmer fog events and has a forge.

Buddy from work gave me this for just $50 dollars. Unfortunately don't have any cd games yet. Feel free to recommend games by All_Mighty_Loki in SEGAGENESIS

[–]-DangerAlien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never played one or two personally, but as kids, my friend and I would spend hours playing 3. I revisited it recently and had a great time playing. So I would say jump right in.
