thanks ebg18t, I am thinking that is what it is, just have never experienced it before. I'm a rod builder too, by the way. Thanks, CparkerC

Bringing this thread back to life I have the Duratecs on my 4runner - 285-70-17. I get the pulsating deal on mine, but only when it is cold. I just started noticing it more now that the weather has cooled off here in Colorado. It goes away after a while. I'm wondering if the tires need to...

thanks dereky!

My wipers no longer have the intermittent feature and I have to time when I shut them off so they will go all the way down. So I ASSUME my motor is ok, since they move, but the timing switch or relay is bad? Not sure I have those terms correct, but how do I fix this? Thanks! Carrington Fort...

Let me ask a different way... I guess I didn't ask my question very well, let me try it again:brick::brick: OK, Could I have done something incorrectly when I changed out my fluids? I was getting 18 - 19 mpg and now it has dropped by about 2 mpg without any changes to how I drive. Do I...

2006 Sport V6 -Just changed the gear oil in the front and rear diffs and transfer case. The rear was pretty dirty. Used amsoil severe gear 75w-90 . I expected the mileage to go up, but the computer is reading lower than normal. Anyone else experience this? Thanks, Carrington Fort...

I just had the Toytec ultimate lift installed on my 2006 Sport. Put Duratec 285/70/17's with Spidertrax spacers on it. Rides well and looks good too. Went offroading over the weekend for the first time and had rubbing on the back rear driver's side tire. It was rubbing on the mudflaps when...

That's what I wanted to hear! Thanks!

Yep, I have searched it and that is what I have found. Guess I was wondering if I used PB Blaster whether I would be wasting my time or have a shot of loosening them up. Thanks

Not sure, it didn't last long, so I chalked it up to the stream crossings. It wasn't like a squeal or grinding, more like a vibration type sound. Maybe it was grit or something.

Question, Mechanic said adjustment bolts on the lower control arms were seized so they couldn't adjust for castor on my alignment. The vehicle drives ok, so I'm not too concerned, but would like to have it done right if possible. Would some PB Blaster applied regularly have any chance of...

Good morning, Took my 2006 4runner Sport offroad this weekend. The trail had numerous creek crossings and when I started going downhill, my brakes were making a ton of the worst noise you ever heard. At first, I thought I had screwed something up, but turns out they were just wet. After...

not braking hard, just normal braking. Thanks

Mornin' When braking, right before I come to a stop, sometimes I hear a faint beep coming from under the dash/steering wheel area. I did a search, but didn't see any reference to what I am hearing. Anyone hear the same thing, or are the voices coming back in my head?:crazy: Thanks CparkerC...

No, they called me and I told them go ahead. I was just stuck between a rock and a hard place...wasn't sure if the work should cost that much, but everything else was ready to go as far as the lift, tires, the truck there, etc. I told him that what I had read, it was supposedely a pretty...
