Mine is about the same, although I do notice that on long trips, it will drop even lower.

I think I may have read somewhere that it does increase HP slightly and potentially mpg. I dont know for sure however. Sorry.

use the search button and type in manual hubs. There are several conversations and even a couple write ups I believe.

Thank you. That makes feel a little bit better. I just checked the trouble code the other day and came up with code 22 (see link) http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38439 Do you think this could be causing the O/D problem?

I tried your advice. With the vehicle in park with an ambient air temp of 68deg. it took 7.5 minutes for the coolant temp to reach operating temperature. I then raced the engine up to 3700 rpm and held it there for 1.5 minutes. The temp gague held steady and just barely went up ever so...

1995 SR5 V6 3.0 Auto transmission I am getting a trouble code error of 22. "Water Temperature Sensor (THW) Signal. " Has anyone ever dealt with problems relating from this before? I have already replaced my coolant temp sensor with no luck and am looking for a new place to start. Thanks...

there are a few links to this if you look around. Here is a link to a write-up on a different site. Good luck http://www.yotatech.com/~corey/tech/churnd_fan/churnd.htm

Thanks Tehdago, Where I live the average year round is in the low 60s or high 50s, so it is probably not much of an issue. Im thinking about buying a less expesnive fan and then "modifying" my shroud to fit around it. This will put my mind at ease when I go traveling to hotter climates.

I believe in the write ups you are supposed to compensate by adding washers. This gets rid of the extra space created when you remove the fan clutch. Here is a write-up. http://www.yotatech.com/~corey/tech/churnd_fan/churnd.htm

How important is it for the shroud to be covering the new electrical fan? I have heard of people just placing the electrical fan up against the radiator without a shroud, but am wondering if this is a good idea or not?

Try a junk yard or pick a part type place. Call them ahead and ask if they have a 4runner from similar year with the same color interior.

I bought mine for 6500. I know this is on the high end, but since the vehicle was in excellent shape and obviously very well cared for, I went for it.

Congratulations Congrats on the new 4 runner. I have a 1995 V6 also. You'll find that these forums are a great resource for questions you may have. -Anglr200

I believe the rear engine seal is a common failure on 2nd generation 4runners. It could be leaking from there? Sorry, no idea of difficulty in replacing seals... Good luck.

I have a similar problem where my engine overcools. 1995 4wd 3.0 V6 Here it goes: It takes several minutes (and several miles sometimes) to warm up to the point where the car will shift into overdrive. It always shifts into gear at exactly the same mark on the water temp gague (just under...
