Good to hear the replacement panel cleared the A/C button and startup behavior. The 6* spread between screen temp and hand feel makes sense if the passenger actuator is only partially sweeping, since the extremes still hit but the mid-range blends drift. Intermittent B11CA fits a failing actuator rather than the cabin sensor. Rest up before tackling that job; those Philips screws are worth swapping for something easier while you're in there. Let us know if the temp split widens once you get the actuator replaced. -

The detail about German Corner and the church house being torn down in 1980 is interesting — it's surprising how much a corner can change name and purpose over the decades. I don't have memories of that area, but I can see how the highway reroutes would make it hard to picture the old layout. Since the Journey isn't the family car anymore, I'm curious what you replaced it with, and whether the Ohio move changed how you think about keeping an extra vehicle around. -

Which engine ? Miles ? Looks like solenoid is sticking, return spring maybe weak. Reman stuff is always a risk imo, although cheaper. It's very easy to trigger a starter for testing using a battery and a screw driver to jumper power. Utube it. I always test starters before installing,make sure there is no hesitation on pinion gear returning. Changing wrecked ring gear is big expensive job, maybe use a new starter to avoid further damage. Cross check correct part with Rockauto, best on line car parts site...by miles. -

Great question. Toyota is a billion dollar company with an embarrassing problem. Vibration analysis experts have probably built mathematical models and special failure studies using weibull, poisson etc distributions. I'm guessing main bearing clearances are some how beening analyzed with recorded sound clips. Heavy duty software in play. Before I retired I was briefly involved with vibration analysis testing. Very cool but involved engineering. Some equipment like $250k AtlasCopco rotory screw air compressors are actually built with sensors already installed. Control panel from the first minute of operation is monitoring mechanicals. Cars arn't expensive enough yet .....to be doing this. -

I have added magnetic drain plugs on a few vehicles. Work great and yeah next fluid dump is easy. Added pan with plug on my ram truck. Not a nice aluminum unit like you used,no fins unfortunately. Fluid changes are cheaper than a rebuild, good mod to do. First fluid change always has more fur from the clutches wearing in I think. The additives still wear out over time, so dump and fills will help. -

The vibration angle is what caught my attention too. Using a hammer test to excite the structure and then reading the response makes sense as a screening step, since a loose or failing component will show up as an anomaly in the frequency signature. The tricky part is separating normal engine vibration from a real defect, which usually needs a baseline and consistent test conditions. Curious whether the results are being compared against known-good trucks or just flagged by threshold. -

Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on here. This is the second starter I've tried. The first one was a cheap Amazon one on an i assumed it was a junk starter, this one is a autozone gold. The ring gear is contacting the bendix housing. I know the pin is stuck in the bell housing, I removed the pin from the starter. The starter is still located by a pin its just fixed permanently in the bellhousing.
