Closing the loop I wanted to close the loop on this thread for anyone else wondering what those hoses are. It turns out they are the windshield washer fluid hoses that run from the reservoir to the spray heads on the hood. I was able to purchase a generic splice connector kit from Oreilly Auto...

Pics or it didn't happen

Had this, replaced my calipers, and rotors and the shimmy went away. There are many threads on how one puck of the rotors freezes up and creates this condition... It's so prevalent in the Midwest that guys buy the Napa Calipers with the lifetime guarantee and change them out almost once a year...

So the wife came in last night and declared a headlight was out on my '05 V6 Limited. I investigated and found the right side bulb was still connected to the lead, but had popped out of the housing somehow (didn't think that was possible, but here we are). Problem is it had obviously lain on the...

How it started vs. how it's going... So this issue began with this grinding noise, which was correctly diagnosed as a failing servo by Southern_Runner (Thank you again). I ordered up the part, and was wondering how to attack the 4th screw problem that you'll see varying solutions to on the...

Yes, I had to use an inspection mirror to even see that 3rd lower screw. Not sure how I'm going to tackle it just yet. Part is $132+shipping on Partznet, so it's not that bad. Just gotta figure out 1 screw. Anyway I'll holler if I find a good solution.

I think that's it Southern_runner. Thank you. She hit 200k, and she's letting me know she wants some TLC if she's gonna keep on truckin'.

4Runner Glove Box Grind - YouTube 2005 Limited 208K miles just started doing this noise when the key is put to the ON position just prior to START. Doesn't do it every time, it's after the vehicle has sat for a bit (~15-20 mins). Makes me think a blend door is having trouble moving or something...

He has looked in to this, if that were replaced, would there be additional other issues to whack-a-mole after that? I'm not very familiar with an abs system.

Hey everyone, Got a call from a buddy with a 2003 SR5 4Wheel V8 @ 189K miles who has had intermittent ABS issues. Now it's like a cat is being murdered under the hood. He just got a quote from a private shop for $5200 for a total unit replacement. Kbb says its a writeoff. Anyone want to weigh...

Well crap, I wish I hadn't stumbled across this thread. Ignorance can be bliss. 2005 V6 Limited My wife has run out of fuel 3 times now where the gauge is still saying 1/4 tank. I tried to say just watch the fuel and fill it before it gets low, but you know how that goes. So I purchased a...

So 2x now my vehicle has died on me with the fuel level needle above E, and no "Low Fuel" light illuminated. Gas it up, and we're good to go. So I suspect I've got a bad fuel level sending unit, and I'd like to change it out, however I just need some confirmation that it is a part of the whole...

I see a lot of owners saying they replace both rotors and pads together on their brake jobs. I'm just wondering why if you've never taken a few .001's off the surface and put on new pads. The pads are the part designed to wear, so don't you just need to renew the surface to seat a new set of...

K thanks guys, knowing where to start looking is sometimes half the battle.
