    Transmission Leak 99runner

    Only took a few pics, kinda got distracted its my daily driver so i needed it done very quickly and in only a day. In the third picture, you can clearly see where the seal was leaking and created a puddle in the bottom of the bell housing.

    Problem with unusual noise from engine compartment

    Yeah, I have this noise. Since i owned the vehicle matter of fact. I don't believe its anything really. I have just left it, and have not had any problems (a/c works, nothing seems to be out of order).

    Power window help needed

    Does sound like the child lock. If your not familiar with it, it will be a square button with a window and a slash through it. If that is not it, depending on your vehicle they have a reset procedure for the windows. with the driver door hold down the driver window till it is all the way down...

    Transmission Leak 99runner

    Pulled the transmission out today. Before I go further, i must say that was by far the easiest thing. Very very easy to do. Got the trans out, and removed the torque converter and sure enough the torque converter seal was leaking. Went down the road to Toyota and bought one for $15. Installed...

    hmmm. okay, i will check that first thing in the morning to be sure. I will take some pictures and put them on here. Maybe that will help decide if it might be more of a steering leak or transmission leak.

    1999 or 2000 4Runner?

    Me personally, a 99. Having a 99 already lol. They are very, very good trucks. they are basically the same. Motor,trans,suspension, exc. sr5 would be a more reasonable choice, they are 4wd. If your getting used, you will be in the green with one that has less than 150,000mi and that has had the...

    Clunk after semi hard/hard braking

    yeah more than likely your suspension wont have grease fittings unless they are aftermarket (moog) but you can look around on your front and rear driveshaft you will see grease fittings. Harbor freight or walmart will have a grease gun with the snake end (not the hard one) for easy access to all...

    Which is better?

    I would probably go with the 99. They are very good reliable suvs. Before you buy them though check the antifreeze color, and tranny color. The radiators are known for blowing out internally mixing the transmission and coolant together causing the gaskets to usually go out, but that is a rare...

    Clunk after semi hard/hard braking

    I'm currently having the same exact problem. Putting in gear and letting of the brakes does it, and when getting on the brakes hard. I notice my sway bar bushing against the frame are completely worn down, i bought the front set for about $10 at the auto store. Putting them on tomorrow. Also...

    God awful noise

    sounds like it could be a u-joint. i had a very loud sqeaking and took FOREVER to figure it out, but it did it when goin over bumps and in reverse only. replace the far most u-joint by the axle and wala. no more noise. Not positive but you can give it a shot.

    Thinking of Selling For another Opinions Please

    i would deff keep it. I have a 99 sr5 4wd, manual seats. power everything else. couldnt ask for a better truck. over 250,000mi is pushin it. i think these trucks will start ending about 300,350,000. (maintained) so keeping your truck and modding the rear end will last your longer.
