    DIY: Fixing AWD Actuator

    Been having some issues with the 4x4 not working on my 99 4Runner. The light would just blink, and I had no noises or engagement of the front axle. After some inspection, I found that if I tapped on the AWD actuator, it would work a few times, but eventually stop again. Jumpering the motor...

    rear hatch window goes up and down crooked

    You would really need to pull the panel off and have a look in there to see what's causing it to roll up crooked. Probably not the regulator though.

    Externally Cleaning Heater Core?

    Not likely related, that drain hose just empties the bottom of the HVAC housing. Usually forcing a stiff wire up through them, or a little toot of compressed air will clear the drain. You can access quite a bit of the core and the HVAC box through the blower motor hole, sounds like it may be...

    DIY Alignment Tools

    There is a different style of toe plate that allows you to leave the wheels on. More of a solid plate with stand-off studs that are adjustable.

The way the heater box is laid out, air always passes through the evaporator, but on full cold it is diverted around the...

    Brake pedal going farther

    Master cylinder is a possibility, if you've got drums on the rear, wheel cylinders are suspect as well. Sometimes it can take a little while for the leak to show up outside of the drum. Air doesn't just show up in the system so I wouldn't rely on bleeding alone to fix your issue.

    Hard to Start when Engine is Hot

    You can check the temp readings with a scan tool. I've heard that suggested a lot but never actually found an issue with one. I'd look at the fuel injectors first. Many times a poor hot start is an injector leaking into the intake, flooding the engine. Not an issue on a cold start as it has...

    DIY Alignment Tools

    I have a similar set and have used it with success. It's a pain to schedule an alignment and wait around for hours. I have used it both with the wheels on the ground, indexing the toe plates off of the lip of the wheel, or with the wheels off indexing on the rotors. The former is more...
