Eddie was a crew member for Joe Gibbs NASCAR teams for several years. Owned his own high performance import shop. And was a Toyota dealership master tech. He owns one of the nicest Supras you will ever see, makes over 800 whp. He drives for UPS. He doesn't turn wrenches for them. His...

Seems it doesn't leak much when not under pressure. I knew I had something leaking. Definitely had little drops in the driveway and yes I could see it under the hood. But nothing I was seeing would have made me think I had lost multiple quarts of anything. Again, something this thread might...

Final update. Sorry for the delay but I typed up a reply and then deleted it... It wasn't the tone I wanted to relay. It was more of a response to the criticisms of random posts. I love forums. I really do. If this were a Miata forum I would have had at least three "part out" replies by...

I haven't driven it yet but mechanic says she's shifting like a new one. Had the front axles and boots replaced while they were at it. (Neglected to repair them for about.. 100k). LOL. I'll pick her up tomorrow and let you all know how it goes. Oh, he said it only had about 1 quart of fluid...

Update #2. After shopping around for transmission replacement my local dealer was only a couple $100 from the lowest quote and $5000 lower than AAMCO? (Guess there is a sucker born every minute but I ain't it) So I decided to go with my dealer. Toyota South in Richmond, KY. Had the master...

P2714 Pressure control solenoid performance. Stuck off.

Update day one. Had the battery tested and no surprise, it had multiple dead cells. Tested 30% reserve at 100% and only 10.2 volts at cranking. It was 4.5 years old so... a new Die Hard was installed. Also, removed the MAF sensor and cleaned it with MAF cleaner. She died on first attempt...

Long time owner of my 2006 V6 with 240,000m on the clock. Truck has been ultra reliable with very little maintenance. Other than oil, fluids, and oddly enough, brake calipers (all four along the way), a wheel bearing and hub replacement, serpentine belt and an idler, and spark plugs at...

Hello all. After years of wanting a 4Runner, I pulled the trigger on a 2006 Certified 4x4 SR5 yesterday. From what I can tell it's all stock. 60k on her and is in fine shape. What are the items I need to really check out during my 12 months of bumper to bumper warranty? Also, what are the...
