  1. Just a note I put the package on and it towed the trailer loaded like it was nothing. Now I do not need a truck and can haul a few 2x4s and sheets of ply with out the expence of a stupid chevy.
  2. Found one on line, 189 shipped to my door with the adaptor to T plug install the four prong light hook up. The class one hitch hooks into the existing holes and the threaded nuts are welded in. I should be up and running in an hour. BTW I am not planning on towing a travel trailer, but a small 5x8 wire trailer that would haul a few studs or drywal.
  3. I have an 09 corolla that I need to put a small tow package on. I would like to buy one of the small trailers that lows has and to be able to tow a few sheets of plywood and 2x4s ect. How do I put or where do I get one put on my car or can I do it myself?
  4. Does anyone have a link to show with photos how to clean the air con. evap. in an 09 corolla? I am getting a dirty socks smell and need to clean it. thanks
  5. I got from this person also a link to some health care site. I think it is some kind of spam bot.
  6. I am looking for an inexpansive side molding for my corolla. I can buy them color matched on ebay for 129, plus shipping. I dont know much about them but that seems a bit high. I was thinking more around 75.00$ Is this unrealistic?
  7. I have delt with the service dept. and they are trying to be helpful. The sales manager was very condesending and had the attitude that we have good deals and you need to buy and shutup. The salesman was ok, he kept inturpting our sale with calls from his wife of 23 and he is 55 [good work if you can get it] and complaing about how inmature she is.
  8. WoW, Did you tell them that if your ante had balls she would be your uncle?
  9. Well, they arrived and they said they were toyota. They fit like a dream. Form fit. I do wish that toyota put on a few things as standard. 1. auto locks on a 4 door should be standard. I would pay the extra 20$ I am sure it cost to have them as standard. 2. Mud Flaps. I am sure it would only cost them 10$ 3. Side body molding. What would the cost be 50$ Even if it cost the buyer an extra 150$ for all these things, they should be standard. I would rather give up the motorized mirror adjustment to have at least the door locks. I only adjust the mirror once every two months. I have to lock or unlock the doors 10 times a day.
  10. I purchased a new Toyota corolla from Greg Orr in Hot Springs. I was treated with a condescending attitude. When I was on the phone with Lenders in Benton the sales manager came out and said OK you win you got your deal. I was asking for 300$ more off. I told Lender we had a deal here and after an hour of filling out the credit app. and paper work, we got to the end and the price was the same, the Sales manager came in and said he meant that the deal I was getting I was winning on, and that he could not take off any more. He new I had relatives coming in that day and had run out of time to deal. He also told me that he would give me better service if I purchased the car through them instead of another dealership. Well the hub cap was missing and the manager said to bring it in and they would take one off of another car and replace that one by order. I drove 25 miles to the dealership and when I got there the manager was standing in his office telling jokes. I waited an hour with my visiting company in the car. When I asked if they were going to get me the hubcap I was told that they would order it and call me when it arrived. I stomped out and never went back. The service dept. did call a week later and said the cap was in and I could pick it up. When I told them I would not they said they had a guy going by my home and he would deliver it. I waited an hour after the time that was said they would be there and no one called or showed up. After calling they said he would be there just wait. Well 3 hours later they showed but not at my home. They called and said to meet them at the retirement home 3 miles away. I got the hubcap but will take my care 200 miles if I had to to service it. They are a bad joke of a dealership.
  11. The site claimed that it was OEM parts. He has 15k feed back with 98.6% positive. I emailed one of the buyers of the 09 corolla mudflaps and asked if he thought it was a good part with good fit. I think I may also look for a side molding.
  12. I saw a site on ebay that was calling itself a toyota dealership selling on line. They had 09 corolla mud flaps for 49$ delivered. Has any one seen any custome fit mud flaps for this price?
  13. I received the filters. They are exactly the same construction as the Toyota ones I purchased from the dealer. I did not save a lot of money, but instead of 7$ I paid 3.95 and did not have to go through the Gregg Orr in Hot Springs that is a horrible place to deal. Nasty salesmen who make you sit and wait as they joke around telling jokes in the managers office.
  14. It's a Blog!!! The term you use "study" is a very loose translation. I admit the blogger went to great lengths to do a nice blog job, but a blog non the less.
  15. Are you saying a cardboard screw on filter? If so I have never seen such a thing. I read a comparason of Phram and other filters. Phram came out as good or better than other filters. In fact Phram made some of the filters for AC Delco.
  16. The ones I was talking about were the full brand. They are at parts geek. They show a plastic end cap, but it also says that the photo is not spacifict to the car. The toyota OEM do not have end caps. they are a folded filter paper only with an o ring.
  17. I disagree with your point, I have used nothing but phram for all my vehicles for the last 30 years and have never had an oil related problem.
  18. I am having a hard time buying 09 corolla oil filters. The local advance and parts plus want 8 to 20 dollars for a filter. I found this one for 3.95 Is this a good price for this filter? http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/2009/toyo...filter_kit.html
  19. I found a site that had directions on how to change the oil on an avalon, should be the same. The 65mm cap type oil filter wrench, should work to take off the assembly. than all other should be the same.
  20. The 09 corolla has changed to a new type of oil filter. it is a paper cart. instead of a can, and it takes a special tool to get to it. Does any have a place you can buy the tool instead of the 50$ one that Toyota extorts for it?
  21. It does has not happened so far when going down or up. Only the one time. I am gong to keep an eye on it to see if it does not respond fast as I use gas. It does not even start to drop till arond 97 miles.
  22. I just bought a toyota corolla, it is an 09 and the gas guage started to go up very slow from empty to full, it took 20 min. to reach full, then when the key is turned off it goes up to full in a snap. I took the car in and the tech said that it was nothing they could find, and did a search of similar problems from toyota, they received and answer that the situation was normal for this car. I do not know if it is ture that it is normal. It did not do this for the first 3k of driving. any one else have this problem?
