  2. Yes, city driving sucks! :chairshot: Highway it gets 18mpg, as is was initially intended for a travel vehicle. But since the truck weighs more than 7k lbs, the mostly stock 300HP engine suffers where there are traffic control devices :P I think this is the only case where more power might be more fuel efficient (or a less restrictive exhaust). As for premium, well, it knocks on 87 too much. The interior quality is the same in the extra section, though I would like to add reading lights. In response to Piston: Thrown Baseball

  12. So are you saying that the heated mirrors are/would be heated by the car's hot air supply as opposed to an electric filament behind the mirror itself? I can't imagine even a domestic carmaker designing a heated mirror to function that way. Sounds totally archaic. But something tells me you probably meant something else by that post. Can you elaborate (plus, i'm sitting at my desk right now and won't be able to check for "air ducts at the top of the door" until after work.) Woops, My mistake :chairshot: Forget my post
  13. or Not ???

  15. Should have torqued there bolts and told them you bought a LEXUS. :D
  16. I have had the same prob.. in my case it was the servo that controls the air flow... vent,floor,defrost,etc.. my mechanic removed the servo and replaced it for $125.. never happened again If it is the servo pop the panel off from under the glovebox, Remove the glovebox assy.With the key on engine off you can press the mode button and watch the servo move, Turn the key completely off.Remove the 3 screws and plug to take the assy. out. Do not attempt to rotate the arm on the end of the servo( it engages with a worm gear and will break the gears )The servo is a snap together unit. Carefully take it apart with the arm side down so the gears don't fall out.Inside you will see multiple whiper fingersthat make contact with a gear, Carefully clean these with alcohol and a cotton swab.Redistribute the contact grease with a clean finger, Carefully snap the unit back together , Clean the copper contacts and put everything back together. Lexus wants 2 hrs. labor for this.
  17. It sounds like you forgot to disconnect your neg. battery terminal before removing the cluster. Bummer There is a thread on CL discussing this dilemma. Try searching there forums.
