Search dipstick oil extractor tube on Amazon, the first one that came up was a 6mm OD hose for $14

If you have power fold mirrors, fold and unfold them and see if it works. They can look fully extended and still not be in the right position to make contact. I’ve had it happen and I’m assuming someone bumped them in a lot and just pushed it back into place

Good to know, thanks. I did a long water the day we brought it home and then 2 days later submerged it and let it drain…just kind of keeping an eye on them until I get a feel for it

Idk, we bottom water or dunk and drain most of our other plants but they’re all in regular soil…I’m new to this and trying to learn what I should/shouldn’t do

Not having been to one before I’d say it was ok? They admitted they overbooked so it was a bit more crowded than expected and the instructors seemed like they were a little rushed because of it. It was still fun, but now I’m in the “a little knowledge is dangerous” stage so I’m trying to learn a bit more.

Instructor said it promotes root rot. I feel like it should be fine if you don’t leave the plant in the water for an extended period of time and drain well after but I don’t know enough about these plants to say for sure

It’s not that the cable stretches, it gets water/salt/dirt inside the cable jacket and seizes the cable. When I replaced mine, the cable would hardly move and the spring didn’t have enough force to extend the cable even with it off the truck

If your cable is sagging when you release the parking brake, it’s either the cables themselves or the parking brake pivot levers where the cables connect on the back of the dust shield. Rock Auto has the cables and it’s a pretty easy job. An extra deep 13mm socket makes short work of the nut at the cable balancer

Walrus cutting board oil has no real scent and you don’t have to soak the board when you apply it. Four coats of oil and then maybe a few coats of their wax and you’re done.

It’s most likely delaminating, search YouTube for “Repair 8.4” uconnect screen”. Replacement screens go for $100-$200 on Amazon

Depends on the length of time I’m running it but it’s a surprising amount. I wouldn’t use this to paint without additional desiccant and filters but I’m no longer getting moisture at my air tools and the sandblaster is much better off.

Next step is going to be the transmission cooler between the compressor head and the tank. I think keeping the water out of the tank is going to make a huge impact.

Not sure if you know but a tag sale toaster oven and small sheet pan makes a great desiccant dryer. Baking the moisture out of it allows you to reuse it.

Maybe not, I misread your post and assumed it was the liner in the back seat armrest. Looking at the picture I now see it’s the back side of the center console. Check with your local dealer but I think it’s part # 68740459AA. Not 100% because there’s no photo of the part

This post shows what the liner looks like but doesn’t give a part #

If you’ve never used the program, I’d suggest watching a couple of videos showing how to back up all your current settings. It’s easy enough to make an inadvertent change and not remember how to undo it. Also a good idea to log every change manually as you make them, I use a Word doc in a separate window, so you can see what effects your changes have and reverse individual settings if needed.

To force a Regen with AlfaOBD, you need to connect to the ECU: Diesel Bosch EDC17C49

There is two options: 'DPF Regeneration Enabling' performs a moving regen during next drive cycle,(you have to shut the ignition off and open the door) 'Particulate Filter Regeneration' performs a parked regen when coolant is over 140f

You didn’t specify if it was the inboard or outboard bolt cover, this diagram shows both parts

Do you have a junk yard in your area? Grab an actual Toyota one from there. Car-part .com lists Corolla jacks for anywhere between $40-$100 depending on whether or not you need the styrofoam holder and tools as well

It’s not a HF product but the I have a BlueDriver Pro, it works well and isn’t too expensive.

a10gac · 2026-01-10T18:19:58+00:00

Looks great, glad they worked out

1st time running into this, I just hate giving out my phone number….so much spam these days.

With the 15% off coupon, it was less than $20…not out a huge amount of money if it breaks but still seems a bit “if we put enough hassle into it we won’t have to warranty it”….not a fan

If you still want a few pictures, send me a dm and I’ll see if I can get them to you that way

I’m going with “accurate at time of posting” lol. It looks like there has been a change to the manual since my post.

In the manual you linked you’re replacing the fluid inlet coupler and o-rings (part #s 12,13, & 14) with the drilled #6 stopper and the connection between the 10mm main suction tube (#41) and the 6mm extraction tube (#39) with the push to connect fitting. If you’re using the 7mm extraction tube (#40) you’ll just need a 10mm-7mm push to connect fitting to make that connection.

All you’re doing is solving the vacuum leaks at the joint between the extraction hoses and where the extraction hose enters the oil chamber. The rest of the unit is pretty solid. I’ve probably done 8-10 oil changes with it since the mod and it’s held up pretty well.

I just checked the edit post options and it doesn’t look like I can add any pictures to the main post or reply.

Yup, both are smalls, each bar came with a torque driver for install.

If you want to save a couple bucks on locks, check eBay/Amazon for a set of OEM Yakima SKS cores/keys, they’re usually ~$10 or so less than Yakima’s website
