How to fix RUST on your Toyota

[@fcon2002]

I had a 2003 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner. I drove it until July 2021. When I put the truck on defroster it would NOT start the AC. I had to press the AC button for that to happen. By the way, I replaced my Tacoma with a used 2008 Nissan Titan this year. Boy, was I surprised when I put it on defroster, and Yes, it turns on the AC.

Nice! Man, that entire neighborhood seems like a trip back in time. Lots of older vehicles.

[@toyotafanatics1]

There’s a bit of everything around here.. imma have to look at the video and see what cars your talking about.. 👍🏼

Yes a/c compressor comes on for defrost because it acts as an air dryer which aids in the defrost process. Pretty common among all makes of vehicles.

$3.08 where I live. I appreciate your content

[@pv7524]

I'm up in Wisconsin. The A/C needs to run on defrost to take the moisture out of the air. Otherwise, you can't see out of your windshield due to frost build up: Everyone knows this!

[@bbryder17]

I second this!!

[@johnwright3710]

It is what it is.

[@samthurman7661]

Whenever I turn my defrost on in my 1997 t100 sr5 the ac button always comes on, tell me if you figure out why?

[@toyotafanatics1]

A lot of modern vehicles turn the AC on when defrost is activated.. but never on any old school 80’s or 90’s Toyota pick ups and 4runners.. apparently they stared with the T100..imma keep investigating this one..👍🏼

[@bbryder17]

It takes the moisture out and defrosts your window faster.

[@jorges2000]

Keep up the good work 👍

[@toyotafanatics1]

Always appreciated..

[@johnkunz2018]

My defrost works the same way.

[@aliensmadeus8719]

just purchased a 2006 toyota sequoia lifted with only 150,000 miles. hopefully it lasts me a few years.

[@toyotafanatics1]

As i’ve mentioned before, the 2005-2007’s are the best, and 150K is nothin! 👍🏼

[@aliensmadeus8719]

@@toyotafanatics1 Hey brother do you have an email address I could contact you at? I've got a few questions and I think you may be the guy to answer them for me.

[@toyotafanatics1]

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, definitely ask away.. [e-mail]

[@onemannation4321]

What can of lift suspenssion you have on your truck i like the way it looks i have the same truck and i want to make it look like that

[@toyotafanatics1]

This truck has a pro comp 4 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift.. i highly recommend you lift your truck.. let me know if you need links to any lift kits or anything..👍🏼

[@LAAM619]

what do you think about a 1997 T100 with 293,000 miles, its automatic 3.4l dude is asking $3500

[@toyotafanatics1]

I love 97’s, great year.. if there’s so serious issues with the truck.. then it sounds like a good deal to me.. obviously try for $3,000 just to see if they say yes, but i’d jump on it!!

[@gallo23]

I have one, I need the AC, I'm in Mexicali 🥵

[@kevinkight4949]

I LOVE YOUR WIFE SHE IS A KEEPER HER 06 WHITE SINGLE CAB WAS SWEET LOOKING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 💯🔩🔩🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋‍♂️

[@toyotafanatics1]

Thanks.. we definitely should have kept that truck.. it was just over 21K brand new.. now the cheapest 4x4 tacoma is 35K.. 👍🏼

[@alejandrolopez6210]

Nice t100 . We live in the same area bro. I just got my hands on a 2wd sr5 t100. I want to lift mine as well right now I'm running 235/75r15. Do you recommended any shops in Santa Cruz area?

[@max7143]

Every Toyota I’ve owned turns on the A/C with the defroster. Pretty sure every car in the world turns on the A/C with the defroster 😂

[@toyotafanatics1]

How dare you doubt me.. ok, you might be right, but imma keep investigating this one, i’ll let you know what i find.. 👍🏼

[@mattclark5480]

Those valve covers always seem to leak in the 3400

[@toyotafanatics1]

I’ve been looking into this a bit and it definitely seems to be very common.. but many people say they snug em down a bit now and then and it doesn’t seem to be a problem.. we’ll see 👍🏼

[@CGGarage]

Good stuffs dude. Now get that 4x4 shifter!! Lol

[@skyking252]

I’ll second that. What’s up with your transfer shifter?

[@toyotafanatics1]

The 2 shift levers need to be extended after the body lift but they also need to be relocated/bent a bit or else they will collide.. Who ever did the body lift on this truck extended the main shift lever but not the 4x4 one.. i really need to stop putting it off and just deal with it..

[@mikeschlup5279]

My 07 4 runner kicks the compressor on as soon as I turn on the defrost...

[@mateorandall9031]

With the defroster the a/c turns on automatically for my car and I have a 1997 T-100 so i think it’s normal

[@toyotafanatics1]

I thought it was weird, but i guess it’s normal.. thanks for the info.. 👍🏼

[@skyking252]

It’s funny that this issue came up. I just replaced the heater control in my 96 T100. Mine did not have the defrost a/c switch. The heater control that I pulled from a 97 T100 does. My control had the mounting boss for the switch, but none installed. Out of curiosity, I checked the dash wiring and found no harness plug for it. Mine is a 4WD extra cab SR5 5VZ A/T, the donor was a RWD standard cab DX 3RZ A/T. Maybe a model year difference? Other than that, I know not why some would have this feature and others don’t.
