I wouldn't go straight to the seal yet. I know someone had that issue but start w the small/ easy things first. Grease your driveshaft at full droop and see if that helps, then move to the next thing. Good luck!

Hello all, I looked through the stickies and other posted threads and nothing really fit what I was looking to answer. If this has been answered I couldn’t find it. Using the Google search bar and Google and DuckDuckGo, I had to cover that part for the keyboard warriors. But I’m just curious...

Hahaha it’s back! I’ve shared this thread w so many people. It’s hilarious! Thanks for reviving it.

Hey, definitely your starter. The click you hear is your starter solenoid going out. After years of use they build up crap and don’t make a good connection. Just a good piece of info to stick in your bag for later. Also, if it does not start before you swap it out, give it (the starter) a...

Are the tires the same? I work on planes for a living and a write up kept coming back that it would turn to the left for a couple weeks straight. Psi was good, no unbalance issues but after the same write up coming back the tire was about 2 inches shorter for the left nose wheel tire compared...

Hey! Great thread idea. I have a few old vehicles that I’m always fighting the earth from reclaiming. I ran across Blaster co, like PB Blaster, Surface shield. It’s much longer lasting than fluid film and other CPC’s, corrosion preventing compound, easily available. Here is a great CPC...

I think if anyone compares the 2 the valvomax would change a lot of minds. Ok, I’ve done my proselytizing for oil plugs. Y’all have a good one!

Edited for spelling

After something knocking the valve on the side of a friends fumuto valve I can’t help but give another option. Yes the fumuto valve makes oil changes easy but the valve lever sticking out the side is a horrible design flaw. Anyone running a fumoto valve please check out Valvomax. There are no...

Mine did this as well. I changed the battery in my key fob and didn’t have it happen again. There’s a thread in here detailing it, it’s probably posted above already.

I have similar anecdotal experiences to most that posted. Own both 4Runner and gx. Both are great and definitely have lots of pros and cons that would somehow make an incredible 4x4 if you could make one vehicle out of both… but the 80 series already exists haha. That being said if I had the...

Much smarter people have had some good ideas on this thread so far. I hope I’m using the right terminology. Aren’t there 2 filters, a 14 mm bolt just by the #1 and #2 cylinders? I think it’s the vvti filters but I’m going to have to dig into my fsm to verify. Could those be affecting this...

For my Urban Runner I replaced the ridiculous Tom Tom head unit with the pioneer MVH-1400NEX I’m not sure what trim ring is. I’m assuming it was the 1/4” gap on either side? There was a usb connection on the gap filler trim that was suggesting on crutchfield. And I used the maestro interface...

I found a few companies in the US selling them pretty easily. But they are all from china, and way cheaper bought on alibaba or aliexpress. I got mine shipped to my door in about 3 weeks for $74. With everything going on now I can’t vouch for that but that was my experience about 18 months ago.

Have you cross referenced the pn? Take some side by side pictures? Hard to tell without seeing it. Just did mine recently and it does go in rather smoothly.
