So….how did it go?

Hey Lori, thanks for the comment! It’s really an amazing night/day difference isn’t it? I’m happy your experience is better now behind the wheel. Thanks so much for watching, and you’re welcome!

Thanks Jimmy for the comment and compliment. It certainly sounds like you’re on the right path of thought with a short/ground issue. Have you looked at the forums to see if anyone has had a similar experience? The one really stumping me is the cruise turning off when you active your turn signal. Keep me updated on this, would like to know the root cause when you locate it. Appreciate you!

Hey Edwin! I didn’t forget it, just didn’t film it. That’s a pretty important part to the vehicle shifting into gear, I would hope someone wouldn’t forget to do it. Thanks so much for watching.

Hey Anthony, this work was done on a 3.4L. Thanks so much for watching.

Is your keyfob new or used? Is it OEM or aftermarket? Is your battery inside the fob new?

@ new, the “lock” button didnt work, so i push all the buttons, now the one from the back windows lock my 4R

Hey! Thanks so much for the sub and compliment. Truly means a lot. Got a lot of new content coming in the new year once the weather levels out. I hope you find it either helpful, informative, or entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to comment, means a lot. Come back!

Thanks for bringing my attention to the link. I’ll have to correct that. For now, below is the (very long) link. www.amazon.com/Reverse-AUXITO-102-SMD-Chipsets-Projector/dp/B077NYN5QJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=67K5JUWY9LXK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.56DAL1aX_Q6xpvJ3OK5Z7IJetDW0cvvVB5rLUJsHhNoW1UjLl8BycQAH-v-JKn2MM7kHRomvj-oBAXkSm1QbMNHAi5-LsvwPKIizPeyvVHcjHHN4ssakWoQp8b8W3mCzWNRc3OWmQvdhhVJgXs_DSxE_fvx2rDjYyHjIj9mmQ7bZ-vx-u0NuY9otbXyUmGwwmWv7_EsMj_Wd6hdiTECHhQ.PBYLpqTM2lNyrB_YVVtB_WTt6wcM99i2OYu0yOKI8Qc&dib_tag=se&keywords=auxito+7443+reverse+bulb&qid=1737082265&sprefix=auxito+7443+r%2Caps%2C528&sr=8-4

Hey Silva, thanks so much! I’m glad to know the video helped you out! Since doing the modification myself I’ve greatly enjoyed not having the DRL’s. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it.

Hey Robert, that’s pretty amazing! You should take a picture of the odometer and submit that story to Toyota in that link I provided. I bet they would send you out an updated decal. I would be interested to see if they did. I absolutely love my 3rd Gen. Best. Vehicle. Ever. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to share your story, love it!

Hey Michael, thanks for your question. In all the research I’ve done this process should work on a ‘98 model. I’ve received some feedback that if you have a factory alarm system this may not work. Thanks for watching!

Hey Mike, thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. I’ll definitely take it into consideration for future videos I have coming.

Vise grips will help you hold the bolt so it doesnt spin

@dacooldood1234 not sure what bolt you mean?

Hey Charles, what year and model is your Runner? Thanks for commenting and the feedback. How’s everything going now that it’s been a couple of weeks?

@vanwinklesgarage 97 sr5 it went great. Everything was healthy except the ball joint lol, all the threads were hand spun after initial breaking of threads.

Fantastic, great to hear. The peace of mind traveling down the road after this job is invaluable. Thanks for the reply!

Hot Dang, you know what they say… 9th’s time the charm! 😂 As a side note, bravo for the stick to itness you displayed.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching.

Absolutely, I do that also.

You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching.

Fantastic! I’m so glad it helped make your like a little easier. Thanks for taking the time to comment, means a lot. Thanks for watching, Happy Holidays!

@@vanwinklesgaragelikewise bud🫡

You’re welcome! Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to share appreciation and comment.

Man, sorry about that. There’s a LOT of context you’re leaving out here. 1. Do they look the same 2. How are they not adjustable / how are they different than the Honda Part Number in my video 3. Where did you buy them from 4. Did they come in Honda OEM packaging 5. If they look exactly like the one’s in the video, are you attempting to adjust them in the same manner? If so, what are they doing? Hate to hear about your experience, but there’s a lot to unpack.

Hey Roblin, what does “pour up” refer to? Also, sorry for my shaking but it’s not something I can control unfortunately. Working certainly helps. Thanks for watching

Hey Simon. My alternator was already working, just not to its fullest capacity. Thanks for watching

Correct. I noticed improvements with my Headlights, windows, and cold starts. Thanks for watching

I believe that Park and/or Neutral allow the trans fluid to warm up the same. This may have been something that helped older vehicles at some point, but typically I warm my car up in cold temps and drive easy for the first few minutes to get the transmission warmed up. Thanks for watching!

There’s actually quite a bit of variables to this rule, which you should know. However generally speaking, in cold temps, you should let your engine warm up before taking off. I didn’t specify a time in the video, and also listed additional benefits, which to the common driver, matters. Thanks for watching and for the interaction.

Depending on how cold it is and what engine you have, it could be minutes before your PCM reaches closed loop and your idle drops. My Corolla takes about 45 seconds, my Pilot takes about 30 seconds, my Camaro takes about 1.5 min, and my Mustang can take 2 minutes when it's 30 degrees out before the RPMs drop. A larger engine generally takes longer to warm up.

Great feedback and very true Bill. Thanks for watching.

@billspangler2685 that is why i added "or till your idle drops" i agree with you, my camaro ls3 takes a good bit till it drops to the idling rpm.

Window defrosters and actually having heat as you drive

I’m not certain if “Dumb” is a question or a statement, however there’s many variables to how long to let your engine warm. Age, type, temp, etc. If you feel like you need more education on the matter research goes a long way. This video isn’t for the experts or wanna be experts, but the every day driver with little to no knowledge that needs to create better habits for long engine life. Thanks for watching

@@vanwinklesgarage Engine Specs are based at a low of 30F. If the engine is not below that temperature, warming up is pointless. It is good to drive at first at low speeds. OIL is not the only lubricant. These instructions overlook those. Transmissions and truck differentials. Diesels should have a engine block heater due to the heavier oils. But for gas vehicles, warming up is pointless above 30f. If you frequently see temps below 30F, get the engine block heater. After starting, drive without hitting high revs for the engine.

Thanks for the input. This seems to be a “hot” topic in the community, but in my video I never mentioned warming up your car in specific temperatures, nor that oil is the only lubricant. I don’t agree that warming up is pointless for gas vehicles above 30f, but I’ll leave that point there. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

@@vanwinklesgarage It's seeing people inflate tires to MAX Pressure that keeps my concern for details high.

You hit the nail on the head with that one! 😂 I’ve helped many people at Gas Station Air Pumps who didn’t understand that very thing.

If you’re referring to the plastic sleeve “pocket”, I did not. I left it. It’s a bit stained, but in my experience removing it makes it look worse. I will most likely remove the warning decals at some point in the future. Thanks for watching!

That’s a really fantastic question and a unique issue. I wonder how the other CAT would interact with your ECU. Depending on the specifics of the errors or performance issues you’re having, I would absolutely try to replace both O2’s with the Cali versions to see if it corrected your issues. Ultimately it’s a small cost if it works. You gotta come back and let me know how this plays out! Thanks for watching and for the interaction. I hope you get your performance issues corrected.

If you watch my video you’ll see that my belts were half the tension they should have been. If I had just done the deflection method, I wouldn’t have caught it. This tool has allowed me to quickly and confidently check tension after installation and add that to an easy maintenance check at regular intervals.

Hey Bergman! Excellent questions and valid points. While I haven’t had experience with LED’s in my Runner, I’ve had years of experience in using LED’s in other vehicles and never had those issues. That doesn’t mean that it can’t or won’t happen. I did not check the current draw, that would have been a great idea. Maybe I can make a follow up video with that information. The link to the bulb on Auxito’s site is below if you would like to check it out. I couldn’t find a spec sheet link. I agree with you however, one would assume that a company of their size would account for these things over many years and application ranges. www.auxito.com/products/7443-led-bulb-white-2800-lumen?variant=20067691266121&country=US&currency=USD&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACtpqmtJXuZulur_iyJy4dPFhpAyO&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqZvg-7KwigMVbTAIBR3DWSUzEAQYASABEgLLFfD_BwE

All valid points and great feedback. Keep in mind that this work is being done on my personal Runner and I make these videos to help the community as I approach a job. This video was made specifically for the Shifter Bushings, so that’s where my focus was. As our vehicles are aging, there’s plenty of future projects to come and cover. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!

Thanks for the feedback, that’s very valuable. You’re not wrong, and I should have spoken more on that topic. I’ll try and make a UA-cam short as a follow up to this video and speak on it. Thanks for watching and taking the time comment.

Hey Mark, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. I couldn’t agree more with you regarding the cargo mats. Congrats on finding your tonneau cover! Whether I use mine or not, it makes me feel like the Runner is more complete. I appreciate the sub very much! If you ever have any suggestions on things you want to see let me know. Also check out my shorts if you haven’t, I cover some different stuff. Thanks again!

I’ve not had any problems at all with tint peel. After installation of the Vent Visors I rolled the windows up and the next time I rolled any of them down was one week later. I’m not sure if that helped but it didn’t hurt. I roll the windows up and down as needed now (front and back as I have passengers) and don’t have any issues. Very pleased. Thanks so much for the question and for watching.

Hey, thanks so much for the commenting and feedback. I appreciate the kind words. I have not done the Tundra brake upgrade, but it’s definitely on my list! When I do, it will most certainly be a video. You’re right, I forgot to film the part where I tied up the hub. I simply used some ratchet straps. Honestly, it really is a just a safety precaution as mine didn’t move much at all. Let me know when you get the job done, you can do it! Thanks for watching!

No apologies needed. I’m just living my dream without fear of judgement and having fun doing it! Thanks for watching and for the feedback.

We wouldn’t have this video!

@@vanwinklesgarage 🤣💯

😂🤣

I lived that exact reality that day 🤣
