i tow a 2400lb boat on a 900lb trailer also through mountains, its a 40min drive through the inclines and with an aftermarket additional cooler it peaked at 207 degrees, i think it tows just fine with stock gearing and tires. I do row through the gears for the inclines but it does it without...

so stick with blocks that was original with the VVti heads and i should be ok? And is the same true if i get it from a Tundra or Sequoia?

Looking to rebuild a 2007 4runner 4.7L, which blocks are compatible? i know the 2005+ have the variable timing, so im wondering if the 03-04 are compatible? and also from the Sequoia and Tundra?

So last year I added an external cooler to the existing cooler and maintened the flow through the coolant radiator as well. Towing my boat up the hills I managed to keep my temps at 188F everything looks good. Last month the trans fluid started leaking from the coolant radiator, so I thought to...

Thanks guys. I will be checking caliper bolts and looking for where the grease points on the drive-shaft are this weekend

the clunk wasnt there before the tree stump pull, but it also wasnt there immediately after. Id say tree stump was 1000 miles ago, and clunk started 300 miles ago. And I havent greased the drive shaft.

Im having a very light clunk when releasing brake pedal. It doesnt happen all the time, and i cant quite isolate if its a drivetrain issue or brakes issue. It feels like drivetrain but it happens during the release of the brake pedal. Any suggestions as to how i can at least narrow it down so i...

Subscribing... I have the exact same rattle for over a year now, ive already gotten underneath looking for a loose heat shield with no luck. And youre right it seems to get louder when turning the steering wheel slightly

The tires came with the car when bought so i cant compare to the original 265s. Tire size calculator says the height difference is only 0.06" or 1/16" compared to stock 265/65-17. When the time comes im looking to go with 255/70-17s. I also have no experience in the snow, we dont get that here...

Year: 2004 Tire Size: 245/70-17 Gear Ratio if you know it: Stock 2WD, 4WD or AWD: 2WD Modifications that affect MPG: Skinnier than stock tires, but same height Current highway fuel economy: 19.6 on gauge, 18 actual hand calcd V6 or V8: V8 Average speed you travel: 74 Anything else you want to...

No need for any step down board, you just need 2 resistors and make yourself a voltage divider circuit... I did the same on my Ford Explorer years ago because i would get a loud thud sound when power on the stereo, i found that the oem amp needed only 5V and my aftermarket radio provided 12V, so...

Actually, he is getting high fuel trims at both banks. That would lead me to look at the fuel pressure regulator. I know you measured 42psi, but that may read good at idle only and may possibly be dropping when under load

Bummer, looks way too involved. Maybe someone someday can 3D print one :dance:

Im surprised i havent seen anyone ask this question. Is it possible to convert 03-05 flat fender arches to 06-09 round arches? Or are there any aftermarket arches available for the 03-05 models?

Im considering going to solar to power my home and have many questions. Any tips, suggestions, or things to look out for? Did it save you as much as the salesperson said it would? With the new bill + the monthly bill to the solar company combined, are you paying more or less than your original...
