I had a head gasket replaced due to overheating this past week at a Toyota dealer.

The head gasket was on recall and they replaced it for free.

They also put on the engine new spark plugs and a new thermostat and a new gasket on the exhaust manifold as well.

I have driven it home now and there is an obvious electrical surge /shortage somewhere because it jolted down the road just now and stopped and when I opened the hood there was smoke coming from the cable going to the negative terminal.

They maybe didnt ground the wire back when they put everything back together????

I am a landscaper and needed to mow my customers lawns today and will be losing money by not being able to use my truck.

What will Toyota do about it????

Thanks for your answers!
BTW, I HAVE CHECKED ALREADY THE WIRES ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS.

THEY ARE CLAMPED GOOD AND EVERYTHING.

AND THIS IS A 93 TOYOTA T100 TRUCK WITH A 3.0 V6 ENGINE.

I have an xbox 360 and the need for speed carbon collector’s edition. How would I go about unlocking the Chevrolet Camero Concept car. I was told that it was won in the quick races, but what exactly do you have to do in the quick race mode?

A lot of my friends have told me that you can get a lot of miles out of a Honda Accord without doing much major maintenance along the way, other than oil changes. What are your takes on this. Right now I have 45k miles, but I plan on holding onto the car for atleast 4-5 more years.

I own a Lexus LS460, but a really hate to be suckered, when dealer charges $350 for navigation update, while it only costs about $70 to update any other “off the shelf” navigation system.
Perhaps, someone knows the company the manufactures Lexus Nav. System?

I saw an ad for hybrid car making that claim. It seems to defy the laws of physics? Is there a standard to determine city driving mileage? Or is it up to each car maker?

I have heard recently that it was possible to convert my Honda Civic by taking out the traditional gas engine and replacing it with an electric motor from a forklift. Ever hear of someone actually doing this? Typical cost? What level of expertise do you need?

Please help. I just bought a duplicate remote keyless entry on my 2003 Buick Rendezvous. To program it, the dealer was charging me $50! I know there’s someone out there that knows how. Please help! Thanks a Million.

I recently purchased a 2004 Lexus ES 330 and I am in the process of getting insurance. As on all ES 330 there is a factory installed theft deterrent system. On the insurance application it asks what is the name of the theft deterrent system. This is for a discount.

When you apply for a mortgage do lenders look at your total outstanding balance on a car loan or your monthly payment for the loan? I ask because we have a $465 payment and are wondering if we should refinance or trade the car in for something else in order to bring down the monthly payment as we are getting ready to apply for a mortgage.
