    '95 Antenna broke off - do I need to replace the whole thing?!

    +1 to this site. I bought my antenna mast through them and I haven't had any trouble. The directions were a bonus, as well :)

    1990 4cyl steering makes a grinding sound when cranked.

    I have a '95 and I have the same noise. I have been told it is the steering stops that have been worn off exposing the metal. This issue has never affected my steering, but it bums me out that I can't make such tight u-turns anymore ;):

    where do you draw the line? (repairs vs. giving up)

    Yay, a thread I can reply to, even though I am late to the party... 4Runnah4evah, I am glad that your 4Runner found a home! As for me, I have a 95 4Runner 3.0L V6, 2WD with 187,466 or so miles on it. I am the second owner - purchased it in '97 w/30K on it. It is spotless - no rust -after...

    3.0 "cuts out" for a split second

    Hi Everyone, It has been awhile since I logged on and I hope everyone had a nice holiday season. I must have jinxed myself when I said my truck runs great...make that past tense...it ran great. I thought I would get a tune up - changed the spark plugs, plug wires, distributor cap & rotor...

    Water pump?

    I wasn't worried about the time it took for repairs as much as I was the quote they gave me costwise. I wasn't trying to be cheap, but I felt that was a bit on the high side. I was very polite to the tech's in the shop and understood that they were in the business of making money. In this...

    Water pump?

    I know that they didn't take anything apart when I walked out there to take a look because everything was still in the engine compartment. I am not sure how they came to the conclusion, but they said they ran some kind of compression test and that there was a leak...no kidding, I figured that...

    Water pump?

    UPDATE: I found a reputable mechanic that will do it for $300.00 labor, but I provide the parts - easy enough! He was very helpful with explaining everything and came highly recommended from a garage where my friend gets his car work done. I am excited and will have it in on Thursday... I...

    Power antenna fix with pic's

    I just want to add that this thread was what lead me to join this site and it helped me change out the antenna in my 95 4 Runner. That link by ricoman put me in touch with a new antenna for a very reasonable price - It even came with directions. Naturally, I had to go through the fenderwell...

    Water pump?

    Thanks to you both! I figured I was being had...I wish I had the ability to DIM, but apartment living and a lack of higher end mechanical skills leaves me reliant upon mechanics. fourwd1, yep I am an idiot! I don't know how I possbily could have gotten that confused - big difference in engines...

    Water pump?

    Hi Everyone, I have searched through previous threads and most of them that dealt with water pumps also dealt with overheating issues. The delima I have with my 95 4 Runner 6 cyl (3.0, 22 RE) with 186k miles is that I am not having an overheating, just coolant leaking. The coolant leak began...

    New Gal on the block..

    Hello everyone, I have a white 95 4 Runner, 2WD Auto, 3.0L V-6 -- pretty much stock -- that might change soon if I keep reading threads in this forum. I found this place while researching a problem with my '95 4 Runner -- the antenna mast. It lasted for 183,500+ miles and 15 years so it...
