I can't wait. Headed up north next weekend!

first thing i'd take a look at is the ignition switch. im not toyota mechanic though....just a regular plain ol' class a tech

The Bronte pier is in Oakville, not Burlington. Do you know the name of the place, sounds like I need to get there and try it!

my buddys cousin runs a worm farm business in Massey, On. right along your way down hwy 17. http://www.friendlywormguy.com/ ryan

try and find a screwdriver with a hex on the shaft near the handle. that way you can get a wrench on it for some extra torque.

im hoping to head out there saturday, if i can walk properly by then... damn knee surgery! never been there before, i'll be looking forward to a report ryan

They do this so you cant just clear your check engine light in the parking lot before the test. That being said, the way they've gone about doing it seems pretty poorly thought out. Some readiness monitors take very specific conditions to even run. I did a repair on my truck just before christmas and cleared the codes, the Evap monitor still hasn't run. I went into the shop I used to work at that does e-testing and asked about that. and they explained the whole condition pass/readiness pass nonsense. Basically it seems that anybody that has to renew their sticker in the wintertime is more likely to get screwed with running extra tests and diagnostics. Luckily since my sticker isn't due until next December and the tests are good for a full year I can wait until summer to do the test and hold on to it until needed.

their booth at the sportsman show was fantastic. they do great work. nice rug!!

count me in!

yup, sure does.

fuel petcock maybe?

we used mothballs in our trailer the first year we had it. in the spring we found plenty of mouse mess and several holes in the tent material not to mention the mothball smell for half the summer. last yr we used bounce sheets and didnt have any mice problems whatsoever, and no mothball smell. the week after we prepped the trailer for the summer (and took the sheets out) i found a family of baby mice in the corner of the trailer. i know i'll using the sheets again this year. ryan

Nice truck! One word of advice is to look into a grille insert for the lower opening that allows airflow across the intercooler. A rock hit to the intercooler could get pricey and I'm not sure if it'd be covered under warranty. Ryan

tight enough to maybe squish out any seal/o-ring that was on there?

private property, owned by CN i believe

im pretty sure theres a few trailer builders up hwy 6 between hwy 5 and the 401. kinda local if you're in oakville

im pretty sure if you claim that you need receipts to back it up.

if its the throttle control, i'd imagine its a cable and not a wire? didnt you get an estimate from the shop before you ok'd the work? i think an hr or two in labour plus whatever the part costs is somewhat reasonable.

The guy I bought my truck off of had the Line-x done when new and ten years later its still in really good shape. theres some scratches in it from where he drove a sled into the back repeatedly but nothing that has gotten to the metal or paint. Whatever truck I buy next will definitely get it as well. ryan

LaCloche Lake, Massey

seems like she was trying to be helpful enough, she just wasn't saying what you wanted to hear.

underinflation will wear out BOTH outer edges not just the inside edge (over inflation will wear out the center). a camber issue definitely would wear out the inner edge (or outer, depending on which way it is out)

princess auto sells hub/drum kits for electrical brake trailers. crawl underneat your and see if it has bolt holes to mount them. if it does you're gold, about 300 bucks or so to get all the parts you need.
