I could never pay someone else to change my oil. No offense at all to those who do. Believe it or not, I had a friend pay someone to change his oil, they forgot to reinstall the drain plug and they...

Yeah, I hear ya'. Try and stay positive though. If you bought a used truck with as many miles on it as yours, and all you have to replace is the starter, that ain't too bad!

So is it officially your starter motor? Don't most places have a core exchange on that? Not sure what auto parts stores you have close to you but give them a call and find out. Or maybe you already...

I think my 2001 V6 Camry was rated at 179 at the crankshaft, so figure around 150 at the tires. The guys that are getting 270hp to the ground are using auto transmission. If you have the 5 speed...

How many miles on it? Has the weather gotten a lot colder in the last few days? May want to run a good fuel injection cleaner with a tank full of Chevron.

Try that belt dressing idea first. I would rather spend $6 and take the chance at fixing the problem instead of dropping $120 and not have it fixed. Worst case, you are out $6 and you still have to...

I'm curious about the squeking noise. Could it possibly be your belts? Go pick up a can of Belt Dressing from the local auto parts store and spray them down. It's basically belt lube. Worst case,...

With as many miles as you have on it, I would be running a 10w40, possibly a 5w40 if you can find it. I strongly suggest using Castrol GTX High Mileage.

You have to keep in mind that it's a 4 cylinder truck, not the biggest on power to begin with. I have a 1998 ext. cab 2.5 and it will slow down when going up some hills. Pretty normal. Downshit into...
