I'll take one as well.

Thanks, this was exactly it! The wires are Black/Yellow and Blue/White on my '96 for anyone else's reference. Thanks for the help!

Did you ever have any luck tracking down where the problem was on this? I've got the same issue and just pulled out the solenoid to test- seems to work fine when hooked up to 12v directly, but there's no power getting to it.

Those are normal operating temperatures. I wouldn't think there's a cooling issue unless you started to regularly see 215+ during regular driving. IIRC, the gauge won't even begin to move from the middle until you're over 230deg.

Update: I did a coolant flush and have driven it a couple weeks now. I've yet to see anything strange in the expansion tank or radiator. Also went ahead and did an early oil change and got these results back from blackstone: So definitely doesn't appear to be coolant leaking into the...

Seems like I should be, but I'm guessing I haven't lost enough oil into the coolant yet for it be showing up. Dipstick is still showing just about full at the moment.

That's a good idea. I've gone ahead and ordered their kit. I'll get the oil cooler oring and bolt seal on the way as well. Ahh, didn't know that. Guess that helps narrow it down. Thanks for the help, I'm going to keep driving in the meantime and can hopefully knock out a oil cooler stuff and...

Background: Have a 96 4Runner with 165K miles on it. It's a 5spd & supercharged. Picked it up exactly 3 years and 30k miles ago. I check all of the fluids every month. It's always had a very slight amount of coolant loss since I've owned it- generally I've only had to add a splash of coolant...

Another Huntsville member here... Completely stock suspension on old street tires, but I'd be down for an easy trail ride somewhere just for fun. Right now, I've only really cruised around down on the wheeler refuge gravel roads. I've been to Stoney Lonesome and Wooly's with my FJ (mild lift)...

Here's mine, similar to what you're describing: Build thread with lots more pics and the layout here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/129105-97-3rd-gen-subwoofer-box.html#post1507458

I'm running a single RF Punch 12" (600RMS): I like a lot of bass (as long as it's clean) and this more than does the job. More info here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/1507458-post17.html

IIRC, mine reads about the same at WOT... it's normal for these trucks- it's not supposed to read out 100% for whatever reason.

I just installed some 6.5's in my rear doors last week. You really need a shallow mount speaker to keep from hitting the window. I went with these: Polk Audio DB651s Slim-Mount 6.5-Inch Coaxial Speakers Amazon.com: Polk Audio DB651s Slim-Mount 6.5-Inch Coaxial Speakers (Pair): Car Electronics...

Do the Timing Belt and Water Pump and then just drive it till it goes.

Nice truck! :thumb3: I also just picked up a supercharged 4Runner and am local. Bought the truck last month and the motorized antenna failed a couple weeks ago. Did the taco whip swap out and it's working great again... it did take me a good bit longer than I expected though. Maybe 4hrs? I'm...
