Hello forum. Due to some kind of blockage in my cooling system, my truck overheated unexpectedly. It was fine for a while,then on a sudden glance to my temp guage, I noticed a HUGE spike in temperature and immediately pulled over. Head gasket was already blown by that point. The issue is, this...

Hello. After adding a Hayden 699 cooler, I've been trying to check my trans fluid level regularly. One thing I've noticed is that its very hard to get it hot (which is good), but confusing to me as to what the fluid level should be at. Since the fluid is always much colder, is it normal for...

Hello! Recently bought a new ( to me) 96 4runner sr5 limited 2wd. Im doing a LOT to it, in preparation for a very long drive, and recently ran into a major pickle. I recently did a flush using the transmissions own pump, because I noticed that the fluid had turned VERY brown. Almost the color...

for whatever reason only seems to happen with the way that I drive. When I bought it, the fluid was darkish, but not the color of motor oil like mine gets to. Happened in roughly 1000 miles after I bought it. I then flushed it, all 11 quarts, but using the transmissions own pump, and it was...

My transmission fluid (in the pan) keeps turning dark brown,and thinning out, even after giving it a full flush using the cooler send line hose technique. (Turn engine on to drain a quart, add one, drain, add, etc.) It still works, but it feels different shifting only when the fluid is brown...

I decided against it. Took the rotor off the other wheel, and it was so, incredibly, butter, that I decided to leave it be. Not touching these until they give issues. Also never checking wheel bearings with a brake rotor on ever again. There's no crunch on the other side either. It's mostly...

Poly. Almost regret doing it, as the old bushings seemed fine. Replacing lbj/ubj and went a little crazy since I bought a press and thought that I should do it all while I can. Debating on whether I should do the bearings, as I have the whole steering knuckle apart and a press, and won't be in...

7Hi everyone. New here. 3rd gen 2wd with 200k. If you were me, and I was you, would you do your front wheel bearings? I bought koyo, not oem. In the middle of a suspension refresh. I was going to do them, until I pulled the knuckle off and noticed a very, very smooth bearing. It has some...

I replaced my lower control arm bushings, and my suspension is still apart while i decide in what to do.
