Auction it at eBay: Toyota 4Runner SR5 Sport Utility 4 Door | eBay

4WD light might not be turned on all the time Thanks. I might try it myself - reading the "1996 to 2002 Toyota 4Runner Repair and Wiring Manuals" and will do it when I get a chance. After reading, I suspected "ADD Actuator". ADD stands for "Automatic Disengaging Differential". Searched google...

Correct. It was raining, but I cannot put into 4H. However, that evening, it works again. I could say it works for 1 out of 5 different times when I wanted 4H gear. Kinds of strange.

Re: Re: Spinning noise when clutch is pressed in idle gear Thanks for the advise! I brought it into mechanics and changed clutch set which includes above parts for $700 (labor is about $450). Right after the repair work, I can feel the clutch needs much lighter force to depress than it...

Spinning noise when clutch is pressed in idle gear My 2000 4runner SR5 4WD is at ~106k now. Recently I kept making spinning noise whenever I pressed down clutch or between gear shifts. I know this noise is embarrassing when you drive stick. I barely can avoid making this noise in the past two...

Check Engine code could be P171 If your mechanic changed O2, the error code might be P171. I got the same situation earlier this winter. My mechanic replaced the O2 first, according to his book. However, it did not work and the check engine light went back on after 20 miles. Then I searched...

Thanks for the posts! So it seems my 2000 SR5 V6 4WD is more like a working cow instead of a running horse on the mountain. Have to figure out a better approach to go through <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Pass>Donner Pass</a> on I-80. At <55mph, everyone is passing me there. :bash:

Does SC meant for Super Charge?

Thanks for the reply! I will keep an eye to see any 4Runner passing me next time :biggrin2:

RPM is at 2500 in the 4th gear manual and the gas pedal is in the bottom position. On the flat or down hill, it is easy to get up to 80+ miles. I have never towed before so have no idea about that part. Oh, the altitude is above 6000-8000 ft near Kirkwood, CA on route 88. I used to hear...

My 2000 SR5 4WD V6 can only reach 50mph when driving uphill to a ski resort near lake tahoe. The mileage is 96k and recently changed timing belt and tune-up. before the timing belt change and 90k service, I remembered that its climbing speed can only be 45mph this Summer when we were driving...
