Steven...did you ever figure out what it was?

do you have spark when the no start occurs?

I didn't think they made a V8 in 05'.

Make sure your coolant/water temp. sensor is plugged in when your done. I'm with the Kid...just get a boneyard head and have them go through it.

I had a set of Geo's and they held up really good and drove out nice as well. I use Bilstiens at work for fleet vehicles and they are great shocks.

vacuum This was a common problem on GM's when the control head looses vacuum it goes to defualt vent settings to the defrost so you can always see out of the windshield. Check the back of the control head?

If you have no spark @ the coil...you need to check for good power & grounds. I doubt that that the intake hose has anything to do with that. You probably still need to replace it but not going to cause loss of spark.

Just out of curiousity...how many miles were on your old engine & what was wrong with it?

Azshtr, where did you find those complete assym's at?

Hey guys & gals, just got my first Runner. I've always wanted a Toyota but never pursued it til' now. I am 45 and love 4 wheelin' in the great outdoors that So. Az. provides. My rig is pretty much stock from what I can tell except the Cragar wheels. It is a A/T w/ a 3.0L. I think the left front...

nice!!!

Tinman...what do have under the hood?:noidea:

Well, fourwd1 I agree with you that all automtive fluids wear out, but brake fluid has a boiling point of about 300 deg. And, although brake fluid is hygroscopic it would only absorb water if left open to the elements. Most brake systems are sealed. As to toyota's famous caliper issues...this is...

Yeah, I'm w/ the guys on the radiator straw. Just replaced mine...overheating on the highway but great in town.

Make sure your radiator isn't plugged up internal/external. Had to replace mine recently. When is it overheating...ie, all the time, only highway?
