Please be more specific on the type of vehicle you drive - Tacoma extra Cab, Extra Cab Limited, Regular Cab etc and the specific engine by liter size and I will need the 8th digit of your VIN to better assist you.

Hello Mike

Thanks for the info but you left off a key part, I take it the truck is a Tacoma Extra Cab, 4WD. But I also asked for the specific engine size in Liters. If you can provide that it would be great.
Thanks and will be looking forward to receiving that info to get back to you.
