2003 v6 230000 miles This last week I have had longer than normal crank while trying to start the 4Runner. Normal crank time 1-2 second. It’s worse after extended time sitting. It will also low idle when for a few seconds when it has trouble starting. If I I drive then shut it off and start...

Is that Reed Timmers intercept vehicle in the back round of one of those photos.

Glad to hear that you finally got it fixed and it was nothing major.

I see you live in Carterville i live about 5 min from there. I have had the same problems with trails.

I had the same issue on my shifter. I was able to fix mine by cutting the spring under the metal pin that rides into the shifter locations, and placing the rod back into the slot. Mine was floppy before the fix. I know there is white grease in and around the spring and the metal guide pin as...

I also recommend ECGS, I just replaced my rear third member and changed gear ratio. I am now waiting on the front. A local shop where i used to live wanted $2800 to rebuild the rear and $2000 used, that was just for the rear. I got both at ECGS for around $1300. The 5 year warranty is also a...
