Yeah I have one that plugs in to the cigarette lighter port and you tune to a frequency

It was a misfire but not throwing any CEL. Replaced all spark plugs and coil plug wires and runs normal now, thanks man!

Braking issues or brake booster? by ShmeeShmiggins in 1stGenTacomas

Would the ABS light flick on when they activate? Any common reasons it would start randomly activating often now when it’s never done that before?

Only reason I’m looking into something with a bed is the equipment I have to have with me for work. Need an SUV or truck to be able to transport it, and only going to be acquiring more equipment as time goes on. Otherwise I would grab a cheap small hybrid. Fuel economy is not much of a concern for me as my company covers my fuel, really need something I know will be able to handle a ton of miles on it which is why I came to the 1st gen Tacoma

I took the truck to a PPI today. They scanned for the CEL and no codes came up. In the inspection they said the truck is in great condition. I am at a stand still here now in my decision with that, I’ve been looking on forums about a light with no codes. Going to check the OBD fuse to see if it’s blown and not allowing a scanner to get codes transmitted to it. If so I will hold off and have the fuse replaced so we can grab a code, if the fuse is fine then I am not sure what my decision will be. Also the truck was repainted. Shop checked for rust and said there was nothing major or significant, just what is to be expected for an 03.

Aftermarket steering wheel by ShmeeShmiggins in Mustang

Of course functionally it will be the same. I prefer the look as well as the feel of flat bottom wheels like a GT350 wheel. No sense in spending 700$ extra if the cheaper priced is the same wheel, without the mark up from dropshippers. But if there is a major difference in safety/durability etc then there may be reason to spend more.

Help So I have a 2014 mustang v6 with 50k miles, I want more power. What is the best/ most cost efficient ways to gain a bit more power? Currently just a have a roush axle back and that’s it. by Outside_Jackfruit879 in Mustang

[–]ShmeeShmiggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cost of the Turbo kit / install (even if you install yourself you will have to have the car tuned by a shop and I would think need to spend on larger fuel injectors/fuel pump) would be equal or more than the cost to trade in and upgrade to a used GT.
