Well this sucks. Even assuming that the software can reliably classify bad bearings, which, as a software engineer, I am skeptical...

I use a small rfid blocking key fob bag, mostly because I’m paranoid of car theft lol, but the desired side effect is that, when the fob...

About the kick sensor. Try pressing left side of the hitch diaper with your knee. Works very reliably for me.

Honestly I don't know why V35A specifically. I don't think anybody does, except (hopefully :)) Toyota. My best guess is that Toyota...

BART nailed it. Virtually every engine has some finite amount of debris from manufacturing. Some remains in oil journals & can work...

Yeah, I agree (so does Toyota btw :)). While changing the break-in oil may be a good advice in general, here it doesn't matter. The...

I did my first oil change around 1K-1.5K kms, then 5K kms but IMO I don't think it'll help the with the debris/swarf. I feel like it's a...

Yes, my understanding is that Tahara build cars after the cutoff from 25V-767 were produced with new #1 main bearing design. Also note...

Ye, it’s confusing, but I don’t know how to interpret Nov 2025 doc any other way than: „We (Toyota) improved the production process in...

Based on the latest Toyota Tundra safety recall report, it appears that the GX 550 is unlikely to be included in any future related...

Not new. Toyota said they improved #1 main bearing in their official recall doc in Nov 2025. E.g. Also the new recall from May 2026 -...

Or they need engines for something else than new cars ;). I'd be surprised if they come up with something other than the long block...
