    ODB2 Engine Monitoring System w/alarms

    This is the other option but I like the Ultragauge much better (visually). Amazon.com: ScanGauge - SG2 II Ultra Compact 3-in-1 Automotive Computer with Customizable Real-Time Fuel Economy Digital Gauges , Black , 5 Inch : Automotive

    ODB2 Engine Monitoring System w/alarms

    Years ago I bought an engine monitoring system from someone here that not only monitored the engine in real time connected to the odb2 port; it gave me the option to set alarms for too high, low, or whatever. I can't remember the name of the person or the device. I picked up a used Nissan Titan...

    Best Valve Cover Gaskets 3.4L?

    Hi. Haven't posted in a while. I did a search but nothing turned up to my question about the best valve cover gaskets for the 3.4L V6. Mine are leaking on an reman engine with just 5k miles. Needless to say I'm not happy about having to go back into the engine with so few miles on a basically...

    Ebay Counterfeit Parts

    An interesting look at how prevalent counterfeit parts are from non reputable sellers. Buyer beware. It has me wondering if I have some cheap Chinese parts on my 01. YouTube

    Posi-Twist Connectors (New Electrical Product)

    I think that's where they would excel; that and being more secure and more water resistant. Could even fill the one end with silicon to make it waterproof. No doubt someone will say these have been out a long time and they are nothing new. It wouldn't be the first time I was late to the party...

    Posi-Twist Connectors (New Electrical Product)

    Got an email today showcasing these new Posi-Twist connectors. Also called Posi-Lock. I hadn't seen these before so I thought I'd share the info here. https://amazon.com/s?k=posi-twist+wire+connectors&crid=7CSPU8UCIKVQ&sprefix=posi-twis%2Caps%2C223&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_5_9 YouTube

    Master Cylinder 2001 - 2002

    Very informative thread. I've bookmarked it under T4R 'learning'.

    Master Cylinder 2001 - 2002

    I hope some enterprising shop figures out how to rebuild those and replace the switch without having to buy a $1200 or $2200 complete brake setup. That's crazy money for something like that. I think I'd buy a used ebay unit before spending that kind of cash but then I'm cheap that way...

    Wheel upgrade

    A lot of good info in this thread. I can tell you my personal experience going from the 225/65/16 (someone had installed) on my 01 T4R to 17" 2018 265/70/17 T4R off road wheels. The speedo read 89 mph when I was doing 80. I'm in the Southwest; we do that here. When I found a set of 2018 4Runner...

    Golden Age of 3rd Gens Ending

    The prices are trending up for most year 3rd gens. Toyota 4Runner Price Trends - CarGurus I like a lot about the 3rd gens but my favorite thing is they are worth fixing (unless the frame is shot). I had to drop a new long block in my 01 last year and did all the brakes and rear axle...

    Front End Vibration

    Also check tie rods and ball joints for any play. I chased an issue like this and it ended up being a poor balancing job on the front tires. I also had a pull to the right that didn't go away after getting the tires rebalanced so I thought I needed a front wheel alignment. Then a set of new...
