You might have a bit of a fuel delivery issue. It's possible you are losing fuel pressure somewhere in your fuel lines and the extended crank time is your fuel pump getting the fuel pressure up to run your engine. I'd get under your rig and inside your engine compartment and look at your fuel line connections.
It also might mean that your fuel filter is clogged and the fuel pump is having a harder time bringing up the fuel pressure. If you haven't replaced your filter yet, I recommend you do so.

Hey Tim, I'm probably an idiot, but I'm not seeing a pinned comment for the ABS video regarding reusing the retainers and skid control rings. Am I missing something, or is there no such pinned comment?

I just checked and the comment I pinned is there. My comment should be the first one you see as you scroll down under the video description.

Maybe there's something weird with Youtube for me, because this is what I see. Any chance you could paste the comment here as a reply?

Nevermind, I found it by scrolling through the comments. Not sure why it isn't pinned to the top for me. Pasting it here in case anyone else is having the same issue:
Here's some updates and things we've learned along the way:
1) *Saving Money on Parts* If you pull the parts off like we show in the video, you can reuse the ABS gear and both retainers. For the retainers, put the one that the seal was riding on against the bearing and then put the one that was riding next to the bearing against the ABS gear to mate up with the new seal. Because the seal over time wears a mark onto the retainer, you wouldn't want to reuse the retainer the original seal was riding on to mate up with the new seal because if you happen to have the seal lip riding on the same wear mark, it might be prone to leak because the metal is slightly worn down there.

You know what, I figured out the issue. The comment wasn't pinned. Anytime I update the info in the comment, I have to re-pin it and I must have forgotten the last time I updated it.

I prefer the physical books myself and you should be able to find a set for your year on Ebay for a reasonable price. It seems the going price is around $150-200.

this isnt complete, there is no TOC. i dont think ive seen a single, complete, working PDF version of a 3rd gen manual on the net.
appreciate people uploading them, but we need the whole thing.

I have two OEM shop manual volumes on my work bench. The only thing the pdf version I linked above is missing is the Foreword. There is no TOC in the printed version.
I love having the book handy, like Tim said - but you can't search a book by keyword, and the electronic version does not get greasy with use.

I'm a fan of both media types, increasingly more so of the digital form. So dang cool to have 1,000s of books and reference materials available in something as thin as a magazine. And to your point on search, even handwritten notes can be searchable, like with the Notability app. Equally cool, attaching voice notes to a page, possibly summarizing an important point, a chapter, or some relevant thoughts...
Pack the TOC with you on a trek, or have the same on your device/s? To that end I also have PDFd operational manuals on my devices for everything I added to the 4Runner. One can appreciate the desire of the physical book, even for nostalgic purposes, but I find if foolish to not even mildly embrace the virtues of digital offerings...

I just wish there was an easily available 1999 model year version, just so I don't have to beat my brain trying to figure out wiring colors and whether they're correct or not :frusty:

It's nice having an electronic & hard copy of the FSM. I'll use each depending on what I'm doing. I wish that was available for the 5th gens instead of having to subscribe to https://techinfo.toyota.com.
I use this electronic version, 96-02 Toyota 4Runner Factory Service Repair Manual, pretty frequently because it's easier to find what I'm looking for since it has a table of contents. The downside is I think some of the links don't work but since everything is laid out it makes it easier to look it up here Complete 4Runner Service Manual 1996-2002.pdf - Google Drive

I've not seen a video on rebuilding the OEM alternator on here, but there are several on YouTube that are pretty good. Here's how I did mine based on this post Rebuild Alternator (W/ Pics)
Parts list in the description. #SICMAINTENANCE

While I think this video is cool and well done, how cost effective is this rebuild compared to just buying a rebuilt alternator? Usually you only replace the parts that are necessary and most of the time an alternator that starts having charging issues is because the brushes have worn down. You didn't say so at the beginning of the video but were the bearings actually bad or are you replacing them just because?
Anyway, thanks for sharing this. By the way, how much money did you spend on all the parts to rebuild your alternator? in case you missed our video on this subject, here's ours. I added your video to the Table of Contents. You did a good job filming this. You should make more videos.
