Driving along on the flat , it will just downshift. I'm checking into the warranty which was 12/12. Thanks for the replies.

MY 02 4runner has 142000. I had a factory reman transmission put in about 5,000 miles ago. Lately, when I am driving down the road between 60-70, it will occassionally downshift one unexpectedly and will not upshift again until I come to a stop and restart. It might do it on the way to work, but...

reply to all I hope that it is not the case with a worn sprag. I am hoping that it might only involve lubing the driveshaft and checking the u joints. That would be much cheaper. I also had done some looking around, and there might be an issue with some linkage adjustment. Incidently, the...

I have a 2002 runner with about 135,000 on it. Automatic transmission was serviced about 10K ago. I am having this issue where when I am creeping in heavy traffic, the runner transmission shudders a little bit. I add some pedal and it stops. Also, whenever I come to a stop after driving at...

I just went from six to midnight. That is a beautiful sound. Does it resonate or vibrate oddly at different rpms while driving? Some of those tuner mufflers do that at speed. Again, a great video.

That makes sense. Thanks, I am going to clean the area and wait to see where it is bleeding from if it actually is.

02 4runner SR5 V6. I had some brake fluid leak out of the area of the reservoir, ABS control module, or what appears to be the master cylinder. I have had the runner for a year and put 10K to make it 133K on the clock. Has anybody heard of any problems with the ABS module which runs $1,000 plus...

I was looking at some sites that have these type mirrors. Thanks and have a great holiday.

I like that mirror. Did you put it on? It looks like a GM style to me.

That is what I was looking for, if it could be done. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the information. I am looking for the ambient air temp, though, nothing associated with the performance of the vehicle. Does the scanguage II do this?

I have a stock SR5 base. My wife's minivan and the car I had before the 4runner had an outside air temperature gauge. My 4runner does not. I am aware that Limited's came with auto heat and air and the console had the outside air temp reading. I am wondering if the wiring to support the...

Have had my 02 for about 6,000 miles. 128,000 and I changed the oil at 5,000 with Valvoline High Mileage 5W-30. I know there are people that swear by Mobil 1, but I have always had luck with Valvoline products. No leaks yet, the engine is very clean.

For years I thought that 100,000 miles was the kiss of death for any vehicle. My brother had a Paseo until 211k before selling it, still sees it around town. He is trading a 98 camry with 210k that still runs. If the price is really good and the rig is in good shape, why not. People run Volvos...

Googling Anymod led me to the yotatech forum and a description of the way to modify the system. Pulling the TRAC fuse sounds alot easier, but it might light up the TRAC on the dash. I am willing to take the chance. Anyways, great info.
