I've been trying to get the fluid level dialed in, with questionable success. Problem got worse, not shifting into third almost half the time. I put in a bottle of Lucas noslip and that fixed it for a day. Tried another bottle and that also fixed it. For a couple days. Also, bump.

Also, how the f#@k do I put a picture in my profile thumbnail?? I want everyone to see my mf'n truck when I post.

Hello forum friends! You guys have been great. I sort of blindly stumbled my way into this 4Runner and what started off as a big regret has become pretty great. I love this truck. I actually listed it on CL earlier in the week to see what kind of interest there was and I find myself getting...

THANK YOU. It's getting dark now so I'll have to look around for it another time. And you're right, the 4WD does work. I tested it out carefully, there is no mistaking it.

I went and did a road test of the 4WD, and it definitely works. So, thanks everybody for your help. I'm pretty sure that chord is for 4X4 indicator and I can live without the light.

So I looked through the wiring diagrams and I can't find this particular plug. I think it's this one here: aluminum chloride hazards Any ideas?

Maybe I don't have 4WD then. Because the light doesn't come on. I didn't know there was a light! And now I feel like a real idiot from those times I turned on my 4WD on a few patches of unimproved roads, feeling like a real badass.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by that.

For serious though, is this something I need to worry about. A quick Google search of ADD shows me a headache I don't want right now.

If I plug it in and show it to a psychiatrist will he give me Adderall?

I just realized, could this be my speedometer connection? Because my speedometer doesn't function, and I haven't delved into that yet.

Okay, thanks. That sounds cheaper. This truck is funny. My ex pressured me to buy it, which I regretted as soon as it happened. After fixing its overheating problem I've kind of fallen in love with it. I just want to baby it, and I don't imagine I'll actually sell it.

So I did a carbon test and it came up negative. I flushed the bejusus out of it and replaced the radiator. Runs like a champ!

I've taken the skid guard off and on a few times dealing with the cooling system, and today I noticed this wire was unplugged. I looked around and can't find where it goes. The 91 4Runner seems to be functioning normal, so should I just take some wire cutters to it and be done with it...

My crazy ex actually went to their house after we bought it and had a conversation with the guy's wife at their door. She told the woman she had a gun in the car and they called the cops on her. Oops! (Looking back that was a sign she was going into a bad manic episode.)
