Couple things to think about. 1st. Octane is lower in the higher elevations. Its a thermodynamics, physics, combustion thing. 2nd. Leaving CO heading East to NE is mostly downhill. Just fill with 87 and quit obsessing over it. Shoot, I'm burning E15 and getting over 19 mpg. E15 because...

Its more likely that some other source of oil is dripping onto a hot exhaust or a hot manifold....... How does ATF smell different than motor oil when its burning???? I'd guess it all smells like oil being burned. Shoot.....It could be anti-freeze leaking somewhere, maybe heater core........

Yeah, but you obviously haven't heard. There are 3 people who value the rusted, clapped out truck at well over $100,000. I think 2 of them are certifiable and the last one is on this forum. The irony is a new truck with all the latest innovations, creature comforts, increased mpg and...

Generally speaking, when an automatic downshifts under those conditions, you won't feel the shift. My Gem2 4.0L with AT under those conditions will have a firm downshift around 35 mph. This is when the torque convertor falls out of lock up. All perfectly normal. If I want to force the...

I'm not very familiar with the 2011 Tacoma. Have you prowled on Amazon? There are many USB port that will replace cig lighters and power ports and switch holes.....

Cool bargain. Jay you can finally replace everything for just 59% of actual value.

That mileage rolls just like every other analog odometer. Shoot I have one on my '81 Honda. Nothing special.

You are including the figures on the right hand side of the decimal point???? FWIW, there is no way I'd offer more than $1000.00 (6 figures) on any vehicle with the mileage you have on that ride. Don't care what model the vehicle is. Although, there are a few models I'd love to have in the...

Thats off road for you???? oh my. Mind the tornados in your area. I heard Omaha got tore up.

@tacojoel. I think it is Federal Law for anyone selling oil must be able to accept used oil. So, it matters not 1 iota if the "guys" like it or not. My used oil goes to a local Oreilly who is about 1/2 mile away. I generally buy my oil at Menards. I get 11% rebate on future purchases at...

A tip for you. Don't use an open drain pan. There are many variants of drain pans that will capture the oil in a jug for easy recycling. Drain into the "pan", install the caps, haul to the recycler. Very little muss, very little fuss and no clumsy transfers into jugs risking more spill.

Possibly true. Although, those chosen few are dwindling into the miniscule population numbers. The recycle man is always willing to purchase scrap metal. @JayQQ97 You must keep in mind sentimental value does not translate into value for the buyer. I know the "sales" I have used don't...

@JayQQ97 You have a question that was directed to you in Post #58. Care to address that?

So help me to understand. How do all those "savings" increase your bank balance??

Reading helps with the comprehension and details that a picture can not convey.

Ken

Just took on a load of fuel. $48.36 for 17.09 gallons for 330.8 miles......pushing 19.4 mpg. Burning E15. 4.0L V-6, AT, 4WD, plus stiff KS wind. Mostly headwind anywhere from 30-50 mph. Enough to peel the hide off a Rhino.

Yep.....and a meteor may land on your house tonight while you sleep.

Agreed. Fuel pressure regulators seldom fail. If you haven't, suggest you pull the 100K maintenance. Its mostly fluids and plug change.

Hey! I've been looking for my socks.
