I just replaced the ebrake shoes. Not a lot of work, just a pain the get the regular brake mounting brackets off! My ebrake had broken and was squealing like crazy.

Put new shocks and sway bar links, whole new ride!

The_Roadie, after dealer stated motor mounts I have been doing some reading. I have the 'rough idle' at 600 rpm in gear and again shakes at 40mph. After driving it today, the transmission may be in my head. I'm going to crawl under there tonight went the concert is not 130 degress! To see...

Motor mounts?

Yesterday I noticed my transmission slip a couple of times. I took it to the dealer, he stated I need motor mounts and a new transmission ( they won't rebuild). It is a 2006 2wd I6 with 115k miles. Body and everything else is in good shape. They want $4k for both jobs, transmission will have...

Does this switch also sense if the door is open? My 06 TB has suddenly stopped knowing when the drivers door is opened, leaving radio on and dome light off.

Voymom, i replaced the spark plugs about 10k miles ago, i just switched te pack to rule it out afterwards. Drove again this morning and running great now the intake is tight. I will probably take the time in a week or two to change out the intake gasket.

Ok, checked the intake bolts, and they were seriously loose. So i tightened them up disconnected the battery for a bit, and took a drive. Light came back on, then went for another short spin and light went off and running god. So maybe issue is solved, will know after a few more days of...

So i did have the p0305 and the too cool code registered. The thermostat did need changed. So here is what i did. Changed the thermostat, btw, whoever designed the lower alternator bolt location should be fired. New plugs, properly gapped, Cleaned throttle body (2 time in 6 months, so it...

New battery

Well that looks like the cover for the side airbag, it is NOT meant to be removed. It is highly dangerous to remove if you do not know what you are doing. Why would you want to remove it?

Here is the notch that jimmyjam was talking about to change a front tire. So the jack doesn't go under the frame.
