I think it's important to note that this type of brake failure only applies to 01 and 02 (and maybe 2000) 4runners. The older ones have a different master cylinder/abs pump unit.

I think a problem under the "KNOWN ISSUES & RED FLAGS" section is in order to warn about the ABS Power Brake Pump Master Cylinder Booster Assembly leak/failure issue and the approximate cost of the repair, common in the 2000-2002 T4Rs. As these vehicles are now reaching an average age of 180,000+ miles (probably higher) I am seeing more complaints about this issue across many automotive forums. Its a $1200 part (OEM) and 5-hour shop time charge, costs that could be the deciding factor between a purchase or "walk away".

My recently purchased T4R's assembly is leaking. Had I known to look for this I probably would have passed on the purchase, despite the great price.

Just my $.02
It's DIY with a $300 part, NBD. My dos centavos worth.

My 2000 had a brake booster failure with about 165,000 miles. Replaced with junkyard booster, been fine ever since.

Thank you to the OP & everyone that has added to this thread. Like some others I am late to the game. I will do my homework before asking any Questions, that I already have. I just bought a '97 that shows 119,XXX. LBJ & Tbelt have supposedly been done. Radiator needs flushed & Trans cooler will be installed before it's driven much. Is there someplace to run the VIN # to see what it came factory with?

Yeah, that's the cheap booster.

Question re VIN and Rear E-Locker/RR Diff Lock

Can it be determined if a 2000 Limited has the Rear E-Locker option by analyzing/breaking down the VIN?

Thank you in advance for your time; I really appreciate it.

Might be worth adding the Radiators - Koyo vs The Rest thread to the Radiator Resource Threads section.

Specifically, I found this post about the differences between the OEM part numbers super helpful (16400-75181 is the original japan-made part that came stock, and the cheaper part numbers like 16410-AZ011 are Taiwanese-made parts re-badged with OEM labeling that Toyota introduced to compete with cheaper aftermarket options)

Hello all, new to Toyota, but looking at a 3rd gen on Thursday. Are there any unique oil leaks or telltale warning signs for these engines to be aware of? Anything else missing from this guide?

Thanks in advance.

To OP: this is a very thorough guide and well put together, thank you very much.

Valve cover gaskets are pretty common on these. Nothing to be too scared of though, They are easy to do. These engines are pretty bulletproof. It does not have any major red flags as far as oil leaks go. Just minor maintenance.
