I had a very similar experience at my local NAPA store this weekend. Luckily, my parts weren't quite as critical. I just needed a new radiator cap. When I got it, it didn't look quite right....but thought it must be me. Didn't open the box until later and it wasn't even close. I figured...

Other Thermostats? I just came across this thread, but had posted a question about a thermostat in another post. I am updating my cooling system next week (ordering parts today). i was planning on just getting an aftermarket thermsostat (probably stant) based on local availablity. Has anyone...

I plan on flushing the system anyway, but it seems like the red is good stuff, and my inclination is to stay with it. Just didn't know if there are stock parts on the 1996 that might not be totally compatible with red coolant The only reason I asked about the thermostat is that my last truck...

So, I am up late stressing about my "new" ride. :wow::wow: 1996 SR5, V6, auto, 226,000 miles, new to me, mostly dealer maintained. A few question regarding coolant, radiator, and thermostat Now that I have convinced myself I am on the precipice of disaster for pink milkshake syndrome (no...

1996 SR5 V6 Auto trans. I'm at 226,446 but it's "new" to me. Runs strong, feels tight, and you'd never guess the mileage if you saw it or drove it. Got 20mpg the first tank I put through it. Engine is cleaner than anything esle I've owned inside and out. Tires and tranny cooler are next in...

Thanks for reassuring me. I think I have landed on getting the Dueler AT Revo 2. Costco has them on sale for $548 out the door on all 4 for 265/70/16. I'm considering the 265/75/16, but not sure it's worth the mileage loss. Anyone roll these and know if there's a big difference for added...

I am glad to hear that there's at least a slight possibility that just the tires might do the trick. The shaking is right between 60-70 mph. The Shaking occasionally ceases for a while too. It also seems to want to wander a bit, but equally in either direction. It will track fine most of the...

New to the forum (and 4Runners), and late to this topic.....par for the course I am glad to see that I am not alone on this. I know my tires are terrible, and need replacment, but have already replaced a tie rod and had an alignment only to be disappointed at the highway shake still being...

Just introducing myself. New to 4Runners (as of yesterday), but a long-time Toyota owner and fan. Got a screaming deal on a 1996 4WD 3.4L that I couldn't pass up. I'm in SW Washington state. My 4Runner will be a primarly vehicle for a while, but will convert to mainly a camping/hunting rig...
