But with all that said I still think its a belt or pump or pulley of some sort, especially what you described.

I will definitely begin lubing my whole drive-train regularly now. I just need to get a grease gun to add to my oil change kit.

The guy at Merlin said they hit the 5 'grease points' (his term) that 4Runners have. These are zerks? I've got some reading to do...

rdgt4r, could you explain exactly how a belt or pulley could behave in such a way? I'm here to learn, so if you wouldn't mind explaining that a little, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks again for the help,
Ric
