Please let me know how you ended up resolving your valve issue. Anything that you wished you had done different?
Thank you. Fred
Dumb question -- Can I drive like that anyway until I get it fixed? What's the worst that could happen?
I was driving it last week and got a massive oil leak from one of the seals of the rack and pinion got it towed to the dealer and they replaced it on warranty told me it was a first time they saw that. Ever noticed that the original power steering fluid from factory is not dextron III . It’s a clear oil.
Dont see any dipstick on my 06 v6. can anybody help me?
I work on marine engines and for what I had seen,
for the out board engine steering some people will use regular red hydra/ different
red= a few $$ a quart
clear seastar hydra= 20.00 a quart.
maybe factory invest a lil more on high end oils thinking the part will not fail, and oil will be good for many years.
dealers need to save $$.
Best of luck to you.

Question - My brake lights do not work now. Is the problem related? All fuses are fine, parking lights work, running lights, back up lights, all are fine, just no lights when I hit the brakes. I can live with the manual shifting, but can I get my brake lights back??
Thanks!

I haven't had this problem on my Taco, but I had a Ford a few years back with the same problem and that's what it ended up being.
THANKS
Let me know if you find a better solution.
I took the truck in yesterday to have the catalytic converter put on and the problem turned out to be a simple clamp on the exhaust. My dealer is an idiot.
I originally thought that was a typo but it was not. When I poured 4.8qt of oil the dip stick end was barely touching the oil. Although it's still hard to read the level on the stick, 5.5-5.7qts of oil seems to be the right amount for my truck.
Does anyone know why that is? Shouldn't the V6 take more oil...

It's a slip joint causing the problem, easy fix, just keep greasing
