Thanks, everyone for the good advice. I don't do any mechanical work myself, but have a good, reliable mechanic who will use parts that I buy online, and never try to sell me on something I don't need... one of the many advantages of living in rural WV.

My 2004 Vibe has 218,000+ miles on it, and I have been thinking of retiring it. Other than using Mobil1 oil, I have pretty much neglected it and it shows, cosmetically. Other than some underneath stuff (tires, muffler, tailpipes, brakes, rotors, etc.) I have had few issues with it. I added a transmi...

I installed a transmission cooler and had the transmission flushed before my journey. For some time I have been having the problem of my tires losing air...re...

I finally took the wiring kit to a place that installs hitches, and paid them to install it. It was so easy, just plugs directly into the tail lights, and took about a minute. The instructions were very confusing, and impossible for 3 fairly intelligent people to figure out, and I had read in one of...

I ordered the wiring kit #118458 from etrailer.com, which promised plug and play operation, but the plugs were not compatable with my car's wiring (04 Vibe). Would the more expensive unit work better? I plan to visit my local Toyota dealer and ask their advice. I also ordered the Curt hitch, I think...
