I just bought 2 'remotes/fobs' through Amazon for my 4Runner. The price for 2, which came with easy instructions on how to program them, was $33.53. I also bought 2 keys, which were $8.68 each. The keys needed to be cut and programmed. The local dealer would not return my call; I suspect because I had bought the keys elsewhere. The price of keys and remotes for your car may differ, but the keys that I got for that price were OEM. I found a local locksmith who could do it, and not all can, as the machine that they plug into your car to program is very expensive. There was only one locksmith in my county in Maine who could do it. He charged me $100.00 to do the cutting and programming for the 2 keys. Another locksmith who could do it gave me a price of $90.00 EACH. I didn't find my locksmith mentioned on the site on the paperwork that came with the keys, which was www.autolocksmithfinder.com. I Googled 'auto lock locksmith in Maine' and found others, including the one I used, that way. As mentioned above, it will be much less expensive than the dealer's price.

The furnace model number with the XR16 is an XC80. Very similar to the XV80 but communicating. Must be a mistake. TCONT803 is a fine thermostat to use with the XR16 air conditioner and furnace. Overall, I do not agree with the equipment matchups proposed with the furnaces and air conditioners. Oversized furnace on both systems, and oversized coil to achieve marginal efficiency gains on the XR16 system. I realize you may not understand all the implications of oversized equipment, but it is a big deal for comfort, efficiency and reliability. All things considered I still recommend the heat pump system. This post was edited by ryanhughes on Wed, Apr 24, 13 at 13:54

Jeez, I'm just a boring old banker doing my best to get people up to their necks in debt. You know, the American dream! Seriously, you wouldn't believe the stuff I see on a daily basis. I run the mortgage department so we get them into the really big debt but sooo many people are up to their ears in debt. $400 car payments are now considered moderate, $500 is mid-range and $800 isn't shocking anymore. Let's not even talk about the credit card debt. It's amazing. And it's all I can do to keep up with my little house payment and child support. My Toyota Tundra truck has 250,000 miles on it and I dread the day I have to replace it. Great truck! I have a 2001, the "smaller" Tundra before they changed the body style and made it the size of a small tractor trailer. What is it about us 'Mericans? Do we really want everything supersized? Look around. Virtually every model of car and truck on the road today that was around 5 or more years ago is now almost twice the size it started out as. Tundra, Rav4, Highlander, Accord, Civic, they've all gotten big and bloated. And let's not even get started on soft drinks. I keep waiting for someone to come out with the full one gallon soda. I loved my 1992 Honda Accord. Now, the Civic is larger than my '92 Accord. Our 1995 Honda Odessey, the first style with the four doors that opened like a car....one of the best multi-use vehicles I ever owned. Gone. Replaced by a gargantuan "Mini" Van with electric everything. Is it really an inconvenience to close your own darn tailgate? I love my 2001 Tundra, but the new one is at least 25% larger. No wonder everyone jumped on board the McMansion bandwagon. I love this Country but as my granpa used to say, "we got some come-upan's heading our way". Have I graduated to grumpy old man? Scott

thanks kim2007, don't be too jealous, this truck is kind of like a very long, long decorating project. Notice there aren't any windows in the truck? It was in a guys garage for TWO YEARS who we hired to supposedly just sand it. He called us one day out of the blue (after us pestering him for over a year to get the thing done) and said come and get it TODAY I have other projects I have to do. The whole truck was taken apart down to the last bolt - it was a running truck when we brought it to him. In fact it had a new battery when we brought to him and it was so dead we had to buy another one. Then we had it towed to another guy to finish sanding it. He was supposed to have it to us in two weeks but we got it back in six weeks (which wasn't bad considering the first fiasco). We had it towed back home on a flatbed truck one month ago from the second guy who also painted it - finally after all this time. Then we pushed it in the garage. Now DH is looking through all the boxes of parts trying to put it all back together again - windows, hood, fenders, welting, mirrors, door panels, gas tank, bumpers, etc, etc. Since DH didn't take it apart it's harder to figure out how each piece goes back on. He did buy a manual, and thank goodness there are reproduction parts, nuts and bolts for Chevy trucks. Hopefully one day we'll be able to drive it again. Here's a couple of before photos.
