2003 with 130k and no trans service since at least 50k (maybe more). I don't feel comfortable with a shop doing the work I'd rather do it myself for not only financial reasons, but my own piece of mind. I also don't feel comfortable pulling the cooler lines and hoping I fill/drain at the same...

Well I know the on-dash CPU is off, but I used to AVG 19-20 sometimes 18, sometimes 21. But lately I'm averaging 15.....maybe 16 if I'm lucky. I cannot detect any drivability issue. I changed plugs (looked great). I cleaned MAF sensor. What next? 130k miles, V6 with new tires and...

Ok that makes sense, because when I need to use 4 LO the guys are always like, "man why does your truck keep beeping in 4WD, that's annoying". Does that mean it's not really in 4? Why the beeping. Thanks

Lower the boat? Missed that one. No really, a lot of times I drop off my partner and tell him to back down, well where I fish the launch conditions always change (river). It's very hard to describe to someone driving the vehicle while I'm in the boat how to get it into 4LO. Why the...

Still didn't answer my question:biggrin2:

Ok, so say I back my boat trailer back into the water, load boat, go to pull it out and notice that I'm back in the mud. I cannot switch directly to 4LO? Since I'm stationery, I then need to spin the tires to engage 4 HI first?

That's what I was thinking, but the RPM gain is huge. It would be nice to lock out the torque converter instead. I've noticed that when pulling my snowmobile trailer loaded through the snow it likes to search with the torque converter kicking off an on. Tried the third gear deal and gained...

OK, maybe I'm going crazy, but I cannot seem to find an OD override button on my '03 4runner. Do I not have one?

Hey BlueWave.....I like the avatar I know that spot;):

With the 4-runner that is. This is the 7th vehicle I've owned. ('03 Sport). and the first with the option of 4hi and 4low. I've had smarttrak on a Bravada, but that was it. Anyways.... First snowfall of the year, about 5 inches here in MN. I was BLOWN AWAY how well this vehicle handled. I'm...

and my point is that front tires spinning=4wheel drive:p

I doubt highly that the Ram is front wheel drive;):

there's a good chance you gas cap may have just been loose.

thanks for the replies. 265/65/17 is a hard tire to find in stock for what you need. I had it in my mind that today would be the day as I had a few free hours. Nobody had the Desitination's.....nobody had the Yokohama AT's.....nobody had the Coopers....nobody had.....anything. I live in a...

Out the door prices: $691 for the AT's $791 for the Revo's (+$75 AM card) Are the Revo's $100 better? Mainly highway driving with the occasional weekend hunting/fishing trip with towing. Thanks
