Hello all, I have a new, unused, 4WD dash switch I bought for my 2004 V6 SR5. This is the one with three positions, H2, H4, and L4. I ended up not needing it, so I'm looking to sell for a slight loss... It's part number 84724-35020. I will ship!

What did you upgrade to?

Wheel bearing were replaced about 2 years ago. Are you referring to the u-joint on the rear drive shaft?

Hello all, I did a complete refresh (shocks/struts/bushings/tie rods/control arm bushings/ball joints/etc) of the suspension on my 2004 4Runner SR5 4WD a few months back and immediately noticed that I had an odd droning sound that is amplified when I apply the brake. At first I thought it was...

Update Hello all, Sorry for the delay, I thought I replied to this a LONG time ago... I thought I should close this out by stating that I got the car to a level area and did the reset, and all has been well ever since. That was 5+ months ago now and I haven't seen the issue since. Thanks...

Understood, what I was trying to say is that my driveway is sloped downward about 3-4 degrees. To compensate I could jack up the front until the car is level and then do the ZPC. Other option would be to just drive to a nice level parking lot and do it there.

In addition, this thread on the 5th Gen forum should prove useful as I need to do ZPC on the DAC as well: Yaw Rate and Acceleration Sensor Zero Point Calibration

Well, after a LOT of digging around it does looks ZPC is the route to go. I'm have been traveling so I haven't done it yet, but based on this TSB: http://4runnerclub.com/i/4r_files/fsm/ToyManuals-2007-4Runner/toyfsrm/toytsb/toytspdf/tsbrules/2008/T-SB-0020-08.pdf it's required anytime you do...

Did the work myself, except for the Alignment which my local Firestone did (and the steering wheel is still off by 1 or 2 degrees). I never disconnected the wheel sensors, but I also don't explicitly recall verifying their connections either. That being said, could wheel speed sensors throw...

Thanks, was planning to do the ZPC after work this evening. Is the thought that these two items are not related to one another through a common system? Does VSC have access to both ABS and throttle?

Hello all, My car is doing something very odd, and very frightening... It started with a lack of acceleration. The car would not rev past 2500 RPM, no matter how far I pushed the accelerator. Also, the transmission would not "kick down", again, regardless of throttle position. This...

Thanks for the info everyone. I have ordered front and rear's, now I just need to determine which springs to use in the rear. Does anyone have experience with the Moog springs or the AC Delco one's? Any other suggestions than these two?

I need to replace the worn out factory shocks in my 2004 SR5 4WD. I don't do any trail riding, and I'm not specifically looking for, or opposed to, any lift. I'm thinking of going with the KYB Strut-Plus units (https://www.kyb.com/products/strut-plus/) as I've had great luck with KYB on...

I'm looking at replacement steering wheels and it appears there is a change from 2005 to 2006. What changed? Can you use the '06-'09 wheel on a 2004?

I took it to an independent shop outside of Charlotte, NC. They were awesome to work with and they used all Toyota parts (even coolant). Pulled the engine and replaced all the gaskets including rear main. They also put on the new pulleys, belts, and Water Pump that I supplied.
