Off the top of my head I believe it is Light Orange. There is a write up somewhere here on SM. If I find it...

Old brake fluid can have a high water content in it and boil at a lower temperature. Get plenty of dot...

    Smoke from the passenger side heater vent...

    Call Jeff at Champion Toyota. The number is in the vendor section. I believe Pep Boys can order one for you. Sometimes you can solder the broken wire back together.

    Smoke from the passenger side heater vent...

    I have a ford exploder that did the same thing. Small leaves managed to work their way into the fresh air vent for the ac. When you turn on the ac fan the blower resistor gets very, very hot. Hence the reason they place them in the path of the blower fan. Anyways the leaves caught on fire...

    I'm repairing a BHG. Do I need to retourque the head studs and when?

    Thank you! that makes sense. I'm adding this topic to my subscribed threads for sure. One last question and I will go back to lurking. By following the above pattern / instructions could you eliminate having to re-torque your head after several heat cycles or XXX miles?

    I'm repairing a BHG. Do I need to retourque the head studs and when?

    Ok I am confused. I should say more confused being a noob in training. I read the posts carefully but I can't figure out how you would torque arp bolts and follow the toyota tsrm. Using the instructions provided below. Per Arp The friction factor changes from one application to the next...

    Electronics gurus: need your help!

    Ok this is a major rig if your electronic skills fall short. If the sensor is outside you take a small light bulb. A 10-15 watt appliance light bulb will do. You wire it up so it turns on when the ac is on. Place it next to the sensor. Bingo, the sensor thinks its 120 degrees outside.

    Electronics gurus: need your help!
