I think he's telling you to check your grounds. There are many places where negative leads are grounded to the body and frame.

Obviusly, there's no way your battery could be drained of all power in 2 seconds. Makes me think that there's a breaker or something that's tripping, which cuts off your power. If that's the case, the next question is WHY is it tripping? Anyone know if there are breakers or anything like that...

thanks for the replies guys... i was getting worried there for a little while when it wouldnt start. I started tracing wires again, and looking in my chilton, and figured out that there is a little wire with a connector on one end that is supposed to go on that starter. Cramming my face under...

+ Battery Cable / Starter Problem This is my daily driver... and it's not starting now! :O Please help me out... you guys are the only resource I have right now. Ok, so I just replaced my positive battery cable... the one going from the + battery post to the starter. After I got the new...

WHEEL = The Rim TIRE = The Tire To the original poster, I dunno! But I've seen those wheels on a LOT of trucks over the years. Seems to be pretty popular. Surely someone will be able to identify them for you soon...

Who's got a 2nd Gen T4R in Alaska?? Would be kinda nice to know who all I've got up here to swap notes and parts with. Cheers EDIT: Oh, and where can I find a 4x4 playground near Anchorage?? :D

I've been having the EXACT same problem! Well, almost exact... I haven't noticed it it's brought on by rain or not... but sometimes my right side blinker will halfway light up on the dash when I push the brake. Right blinker works fine when the brake isnt pressed, but when it is, the blinker...

I sleep in the back of mine all the time! :D Mobile 4x4 Campsite! Heated, lighted, and has a radio too! lol I'm 6'2" and I sleep comfortable. I'm just a tad too tall to stretch all the way out, but if i angle myself slightly, its no big deal... even with a girlie laying next to you. I...

Ok, I found the damb thing... its on the passenger side valve cover... UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD!!! :mad: :bash: What a crappy place to put that thing! It's only barely possible to reach under there and get your fingers on it... theres a ton of vacuum lines in the way. And the EGR has a big...

Big Norm, what did your neighbor do?? :O I want to fix that problem with mine. I gots a 1990 T4R 3VZ-E V6 4x4 AUTO 107,000 miles Had it for about 5 thousand miles. lol It's got a rough idle to it, and kinda acts funny between my gears... but its doin prety good otherwise. Drove it round...

I've got a 1990 4Runner V6 and just bought a PCV valve. But I can't find the sucker on my truck to replace it! Where the hell is that thing? haha I've been looking for 2 days now... somebody throw me a bone! Thanks

The 3VZ-E in my 1990 4Runner has a "flying saucer on a pole" looking think mounted just above and behind the power steering pump. I want to say that this is my EGR valve. Behind the EGR valve, there is a pipe coming off of the exhaust manifold (headers) and going back into the intake manifold...

Yup, I did mine through the brake booster. (3VZ-E)

Would love to put a brushguard on the front of my truck. Living in Alaska, fog, snow, and trail lights are important but I don't have anywhere to put 'em. Not only would a brushguard provide perfect mounting points for my lights, it would look sweet, too! Trouble is, this truck is 18 years...

My rear window is 100% inoperable... all the guts that make it work are missing from the tailgate. :( So I won't be any good at helping you with yours. I have seen a ton of other threads here on the subject, though. Seems the rear window is a common problem for these old rigs. I put SeaFoam...
