The steering wheel is shaking a lot when I apply the brakes. I plan on doing all 4 wheels at once. This is a daily driver and only go off road at the Outer Banks every couple of years so I want replacement parts that are going to last at least another 50,000 miles. Had a local garage do the...

My 04 Sport is pulsing the brake pedal and shaking the wheel worse and worse. Had front rotors and brake pads replaced 6 months ago, just as bad now! Truck has 104,000 miles on it. Going to do the job myself this time. What are the best calipers, rotors and brake pads to get for both front and...

Thanks, I am going to get the correct NGK plugs. The truck seems to run OK, but I don't want any damage. It has 72,000 miles and NEVER has had anything go wrong!

Thanks Neil, I am not worried about engine damage, evidently the A C Delco and Autolite plugs are replacements for the NGK plugs. I even checked with a 3rd store( NAPA). I was just concerned that the performance would not be as great because of a lower compression.

I have an 04 4Runner v6 with 72000 miles. I changed the plugs for the first time Labor Day. Only plugs I could get were either A C Delco or the Ford brand. Dealer closed. Both the A C and Ford were almost 1/2" shorter on the thread length than the NKG. I saw the computer at two different auto...

SD4Runner thanks for the reply. I have about $4,000.00 worth of work done on the GN motor and with slicks and 25 lb of boost with racing fuel it has run a best of 11.01 @ 122 at Norwalk, Ohio. My daughters fiance has a new Z06 Corvette and he ran 12.80's and 12.90's the same day I ran the...

SD4Runner, are you the one who ran at the drags? Great times for the v6. It is much stronger than the 1999. Was surprised with the sub 16 sec quarter mile times. I only have run 87 octaine in mine. is there any difference with 91 octain? I have a 1984 Monte Carlo SS with a 1987 Buick GN...

I owned a 1999 4Runner Highlander for 5 years and just bought a 2004 v6 Sport Addition. First 4000 miles on 99 got 19.2 MPG and same for 2004 was 18.74. Part city, more highway to work. 2004 handles MUCH better and rides a whole lot better too. Big difference between the two and the 2004...

I just bought a 2004 Sport Editiion V6. I drove both V8 and V6 and went with the V6 because I didn't want full time 4 wheel drive and felt the V6 will do anything I will ask it for. I was surprised how little difference there was in normal driving between the two. My neighbor has a V8 Tundra and...
