BTW...if you have a light on, you may not pass your annual car inspection (if your state requires such)

The biggest problem I have found is that today's engine compartments are small, and components are hard to get to. I was advised to check 8 glow plugs on my Chevy diesel. I could see where the 4 on the drivers side are, but I could not even see the 4 on the passenger side. That tells me they must be reached from underneath, and the best way to do that is with a lift or a pit.

My dream has been to own a Tundra, but all this talk of sensors worries me. At least my Diesel has no O2 sensors (that I know of).

My other dream is to have a mechanics pit so I can get under my vehicles while standing.

Have most of the tools already, as I do remodeling on my rental properties. Basic wrenches, etc., are already in my workshop. Have three hydraulic jacks. Probably will need some vehicle specific tools, but I love an excuse to go in tool stores!

I'll chase down the Tundra maintenance manual online.
