I notice that you put this in every post. Have you checked prices in San Francisco, New York City, or just about any other major US city or suburb?
I lived at the U of H East/West Center for a month and noticed that nothing was very far from anything else. How far can you actually drive before you loop around to where you started? With your weather, I'd be on a bicycle as much as possible and not complaining about gas prices.

Thanks for the info. Have a hearing on June 3.
Document everything and get a case number. Then file for arbitration.

There is a form in the warranty book.
That may be a Canadian thing. Here in the states, the AC is most definitely available in either TRD package, with or without tow.
While my AC TRD OR/tow truck was in the pipeline, an AC TRD Sport in my color arrived. I panned it due to the low profile tires and some other minor details, as I actually tow, carry things, and go off-road. The taller sidewalls are better on rocks, beach sand, and with loads. Even the TRD Off-Road package tires are on the low profile side for a truck. I would have preferred a 75+ series or a truck (ex: 31x10.5R15) sized tire, even with a smaller wheel.
I've got a 1996 Toyota Tacoma, extra cab. Recently, the drivers seat belt stopped latching. I want to change out the seatbelt, but the anchor is in a hard area to reach. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Am I going to have to remove the drivers seat in order to access the seatbelt mount?
-There is no check engine light before or after stall.
-I've cleaned all the suspect sensors & parts.
-I replaced the fuel filter about a year ago.
-I've run seafoam treatment through gas & intake.
-It is an extreemly well maintained vehicle.
This started within 6-8 months of moving to S. California. We drove from South Carolina and the Taco performed flawlesly under tow. I wonder if the additives Cali puts in the fuel is causing this. I'm not sure if this is typical for Tacomas. Because of the cost of fuel in Cali, she also has been running 87, and buying it where it is cheapest. We used to only run 89.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Squeak type noise as the tires turn - the more the tires turn the squeaking gets faster and lounder..
At 30mph or so, when I tap the gas it squeaks, and when I let go I don't hear anything.
Also, when the truck is parked and I rock it up and down it squeaks.
Dealership said - "Noise was coming from U-Joints and they regreased U-Joints." The problem is still there though.
I DEPEND ON MY TRUCK FOR SURVIVAL.
Any feedback is very much appreciated.
thank you
I would love to hear from anyone who may have had this problem before.
Last year I had a problem with the tacoma at idle wanting to cut out. The engine light would come on for awhile and then turn off. I called the dealership and they said they couldn't diagnos it unless the light was on. So I got fed up because the light was never on when I felt like going to the dealership. I eventually changed the air filter (second air filter with about 40,000 miles on the engine) and the light never came back on and the idle problem went away until last week.
This time the problem started with a little bit of a rough idle and got progressively worse over the next couple of days until I no longer felt safe driving it. The truck would stall out at idle if I didn't keep on the gas, and while driving the truck it would buck throughout the rpm band. With 50,000ish miles on it now I changed the air filter again, didn't work. Cleaned the MAF sensor which seemed to take care of 80% of the problem but still flutters at idle. I bought a fuel filter but am hessitant about changing that until a last resort. I'm hoping that it was just a bad tank of gas since some of these farout gas stations in Alaska don't go through fuel to quickly. Hopefully someone figures out what causes this type of problem.
