That’s about what I thought, thanks for the pointers guys! Sad to lay one of these to rest but no time for a project of this magnitude right now.

Hey, I've got a 2000 4Runner, manual with around 265K miles. Lost control on the freeway a couple weeks ago (I think something in the suspension broke), hit the barrier and flipped onto my side (driver-side down). Insurance is including a salvage value of just under $900, wondering if it's worth...

Thanks for the tips Malcolm99 & Jensen735. The part store near me is telling me it's the same belt for all three and I wasn't sure if that was right, one source I saw listed three different belts like yours Malcolm99. I'll probably have to check with the dealership on what they have since I need...

Hey guys, searched a bit on here and can't seem to find the info I need. I have to replace the drive belts (alternator, power steering and AC) but when I look those up on a couple different part stores, they don't seem to have anything with those labels. I've got a 2000 4Runner, 3.4 V6, any...

Don't think so, checked it not too far back but I'll check it agian. I've done brake pads a bunch of times and never heard about greasing any of the parts so I was just curious what that's about.

Those are the only ones that came up. It first happened on a longer drive months ago, seemed to get better when I got home and just drove around town. Now it's pretty much a constant thing and I've drug my feet too long, trying to get my butt in gear to get it done. It struggles to take off...

You're not kidding, Denso plugs are indeed cheaper at the dealership. Problem is the difference would only save me $3.60 for a set of 6, and the Denso wires are literally 3 times the cost from the part store ($42 vs $135). Got a kid on the way, gonna have to go cheaper this time. Thanks for the...

Yes, P0300-0304, random misfire and misfire in cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4 (it's a V6, so I guess 5 and 6 are ok?)

That's helpful, thanks! Would you say no on Bosch then too? Wallet's a bit tight and Bosch are more affordable, but I don't want to waste money on something that's not gonna fix it properly either.

I know this is super old, but what part do you grease, is that the contact points between the pads & calipers? Trying to do some maintenance on the 2000 I recently bought, plan on looking at brakes cause the brake light usually stays on even when I take off the parking brake. Also, is there a...

Guess this is old news, and I'm new here. I just bought a 2000 4Runner, 3.4. Having trouble with a misfire issue and starting with plug replacement as recommended. Got ACDelco and they're single electrode, should I return them and look for duals?
