1999 limited e-locker I'm in the middle of a j-shift swap as well and I had a few questions about it did you leave the 4wd computer plugged in or just junk it from what I understand 5-way relay to run the vsv's / on or off for front diff you can tie the dash light to the 4wd vsv circuit...

Ok thanks it's pretty intense my clothes smell like gas when I get out I pulled the intake and checked the injectors and hose there is no visible sign of a leak on any line or the tank

No takers I can't imagine its a first. :bump:

So a friend of mine reached out to me for some help and I figured I would do the same. I know there are 5000 write ups on this but the difference seems to be no cel and it's random with the smell sometimes it's not there and other times it smells like a can of gas spilt in the cab. Visibly I...

It could be the head gasket I'm sure there's an issue with #6 I didn't think about the misfire. I recognized a issue before with it blowing smoke once and a while on cold start. i keep a pretty close eye on it and have no really noticeable missing fluid. the knock is noticeable to me but im ocd...

2004 4runner 4.0 100k miles it knocks for about 4 seconds when its first is started up has anyone had similar issues? I am the original owner and have religiously done maintenance castrol synthetic since it had 30 miles on it other sites say intake cam gear is leaking oil back into the pan...

I ordered the blue ones hoping the issues would be fixed. From the looks they addressed the issues metal sleeve is long enough. Grade 12.9 hardware. No slug adapters. And added dust covers. I need to install them to see how many bad words/beers/hammers it takes but im pretty impressed so far

Thanks a bunch Bison that helps a bunch . I will probably tackle it in a few weeks -the weather is pretty crappy now rain/cold . This lets me order everything a head of time though thank you again

I think i just joined the club. I started the truck up major stumble/misfire it went away after 30 seconds but never through a code, changed the plugs and cylinder #6 was wet inside. i cant tell if it's gas or coolant,slow coolant loss. Does anyone have any diy write ups on doing the head...

They had them separate but i placed the order and 1 hour later a girl calls and says they are on national back order and some customers have been waiting 2 months and they have no idea when they will come in ! Then she tells me i should go aftermarket -i'm like ok thanks :bash:. I should have...
