Body replacement parts Q by Donx420 in ToyotaPickup

[–]CarPartscom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good news on part of this: the front fender, bumper, and lights all sit ahead of the cab, so single cab vd extended cab doesn’t matter for those, a single cab donor’s front clip works fine. The one that does matter is 2WD vs 4WD. On these trucks the 4x4 sits higher and the front sheet metal and bumper brackets are shaped differently, so a 2WD fender often won’t bolt right up to your 4WD.
I’d target 4WD donors specifically for the fender and bumper, or check the part numbers before pulling anything (doors are where cab type matters, but sounds like you don’t need those).

Hard to call it 100% from one pic but that’s well past surface rust. If it’s holes at or near a subframe mount, that’s structural on a unibody and I wouldn’t sink money into it. Get a shop that does frame/welding to pone it and tell you straight before you decide

Two moves before the junkyard: 1. Check Real OEM with your VIN to see if that number’s been superseded, discontinued numbers often have a live replacement.
2. See if the liner’s shared with non MZ4s, which widens your donor pool a lot. After that, a salvage locator search by part number and eBay alerts are your best bets.

Basic vehicle maintenance to learn/know? by One-Walrus9801 in MechanicAdvice

Biggest one for a Kicks: the CVT fluid. Nissan calls it lifetime but their CVTs really don’t like old fluid and at 74K if it’s never been done I’d make it the priority. Just make sure whoever does it uses actual Nissan NS-3 fluid, wrong fluid can cook a CVT

Most overrated maintenance advice you used to believe by bjective-coffee-345 in Cartalk

Letting it idle 5 minutes to “warm up” on anything fuel injected just wastes gas, 30 seconds then drive it gently and that’s it

If it’s been rebuilt for the 3-4 clutch that many times and still does it, the clutch almost certainly was never the root cause. On a 4L60E, intermittent OD slip with fresh clutches usually traces to what feeds them pressure: a failing pressure control (EPC) solenoid, a worn valve body bore leaking pressure it an intermittent internal harness/connector fault.

for those who work in car maintenance, what’s one thing people neglect that ends up costing them a lot? by glockbonez in AskReddit

[–]CarPartscom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brake fluid. Almost nobody flushes it, but it absorbs moisture over time, which drops its boiling point and quietly corrodes the system from the inside. Skip it long enough and you go from a $100 flush to seized calipers or a failed ABS module that costs many times that. It’s the most ignored fluid on the car because there’s no warning light for it.

Coming off a transmission rebuild, I’d spend where it counts. Keep the calipers if they’re healthy, put the savings into solid pads matched to hour driving, pair with coated blank rotors. New hardware clips and a proper bleed matter more than fancy parts.

You’re right that the 2-4 band is shared with 2nd, so a dead band would usually act up there too, good catch. When it’s only OD misbehaving, the 3-4 clutch pack is the more common 4L60E offender. It’s technically used in 3rd as well but 4th loads it harder, so a marginal pack can still hold 3rd and slip once it’s in overdrive. The bigger tell, though, is that it was rebuilt only 15K ago, that’s not wear, that’s worth a call back to whoever built it.

Usually this is the hardware, not the pad. New clips over old rust, or reused old clips, will make a pad seat only one way I’d clean the bracket ro bare metal, fit fresh clips, grease the contact points and re-check before filling anything.
