I replaced rear seals 4 years ago Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Thanks for the heads up! I had P0300 codes for misfires and could smell antifreeze in the exhaust on cold startup. Pretty much can only be head gasket/cracked head etc. The misfire never happened again after adding the leak stop. I will check for a leak on the rear heater lines next time I...

I just had a HG scare. Was losing an ounce or two every other day. Replaced the coolant, added a little Bars leak stop and a week later still holding. Was getting nervous I would have to replace my beloved 3rd gen! 306k and racking miles hope to get her to 400 we will see.... Sent from my...

300k!! I forgot I made this thread so many years ago, happy to find it again! My beloved 2000 4Runner has been through years and years of rough miles. Never stranded me. Hit 300,000 last week. Hard thing to figure out is whether I can expect another 100k? Seems crazy....

cargo cover I will take one for 50

mileage 4 years ago I was introduced to my future wife, and after finding out she lived 6 hours away from me I knew I had to find a replacement for my beloved 1989 Bronco, I had that truck for 19 years and never thought I would want anything else... But I realized I needed the most reliable...

Hey Ron I think the only time any shaving is necessary is when using the newer 231mm caliper. I decided that it wasn't worth the time for me, since the larger/thicker rotors alone pretty much solve the problem.... Don't forget the 4Runner is a few pounds lighter than a Tundra/Sequioa! My next...

look around! There is a plethora of info right here, just search "Tundra Brake" in the 3rd gen forum. I don't have time to look up all the part #'s right now, but a quick search will provide many write ups!! My advice is to go with the 199mm caliper setup, it is easier and there is no...

I did the Tundra front brake mod, using the 199mm calipers and the difference is amazing!! Specs- I purchased new 199mm calipers from NHT, new Brembo rotors, and Toyota original brake pads. Once these brakes were broken in, I could not believe how much better driving this truck felt!! The...

Yeah this is a hassle with my truck, I have a 2000 Limited. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we just don't know how to use it... I remember having to put up with the a/c being on all winter, then I read the book, and turned it off. Now of course it is warming up soon, and I...

I'm looking too :( Somebody nailed my front bumper in the parking lot... I have a black/tan 2000 limited with the painted front bumper.... anybody looking to sell theirs? Thanks

mileage I just did a trip across PA on 80. I got 20.7 mpg on the whole trip, about 1300 miles. I have a 2000 Limited 4X4, 3.4 v6. Mobil 1 0W30 oil, and synthetic tranny, and diff oil. I have also purchased a scangaugeII and it is pretty cool to play with while on the trip. I have been...

Definitely agree w/ you there Mike, slowing down will get you amazing mpg!! Just an example, I own a Mechanical Contracting company and have two Ford utility box vans built on a E-450 chassis w/ powerstroke motors. The one I typically drive gets 8-9 mpg of diesel, and the truck weighs 13,500...
