It's a 2008 Limited 6 cylinder with 147k miles. As far as the records show, it's the original drive belt (I acquired it as 112k miles in 2017). The maintenance schedule only calls for inspection of the drive belt. What should I look for when inspecting? Or should I go ahead and have it...

The most recent service seems to have done the trick. YA! Thanks all. I really appreciate it. Charley

I didn't have time to do this myself, so I took it into my trusted indie. They had done the exchange method using the cooler line before, so I felt comfortable. Unfortunately, they didn't do the multi-stage exchange like I asked them to. Instead, they drained the pan and via the cooler line...

Hi folks. I drove about 400 miles (mostly highway), and didn't feel the rumble at all (after putting in the Shudder Fix). BUT, I did start to feel it once or twice at the end of the trip. So, time to replace the ATF. I'm planning to do the "ATF Exchange" method detailed here. I plan to...

@seymor, it looks pretty black. Smell is unremarkable.

Thanks all! Amazing resource. I really appreciate it. I added a 2 ounce packet of Instant Shudder Fix. Test drove it for about 10 miles. The shudder seemed to disappear around mile 3. Fingers crossed the fixes it! Again, thanks all. I siphoned out an ounce of the existing fluid. Do folks...

seymore, according to the receipt, the dealer did a drain and fill with W.S. fluid Note: I do some towing (2,000 pound camper) occasionally, in case that's relevant.

Hi folks! I have 2008 4Runner Limited V6 with 145k miles. I'm the second owner. Both the prior owner and I are fastidious about maintenance, so all scheduled maintenance has been done. Unfortunately, it seems like the vehicle has developed the "rumble strip" transmission issue discussed in...

81runner, good suggestion. However, that’s not the issue. We cleared and tested the drain lines — they’re all clear. Since posting this, I’ve read some more posts on this topic. It sounds like there are two options. Buy the expensive replacement part (integrated glass and gasket). Or seal it...

Hi folks! My sunroof gasket on my 2008 Unlimited seems to leaking. I thought it was the windshield that I recently had replaced, but I had the leak evaluated by the shop and they showed me why they believe it’s the sunroof (which sounds/looks accurate to me). The gasket is original (2008) and...

No sorry

Sorry, but I'm going to do local pickup only. Someone is scheduled to swing by in two weeks. Thanks.

Thanks folks. I've posted them for free in the appropriate forum.
