My P0420 was solved with a new oxygen sensor and new gaskets.

It’s not the Sun roof drains. I poured water into the drains and water comes out all 4 drains. And this stain is on the passenger rear. Gonna remove roof rack and see what I find.

Great idea. It’s been raining all afternoon. I’ll check it out. Don’t wanna melt. Lol

It’s not the fan. It’s either the CD player or something mechanical above it. It’s not over in the fan area. It’s like something is trying to open or close.

I keep hearing this whirring noise like a CD is trying to be ejected but there is no CD. I thought it might be one of those air/heat doors in the ventilation system trying to open and close. It does it with the radio/CD off. Any suggestions? Maybe pull the fuse for the radio and eliminate...

Got a 1998 with 273K miles. Very well maintained for the last 15 years. Only use Top Tier gasoline. About every 3 tanks of gas I get a P0420. I clear the code and everything is fine for a while. I know the code refers to a catalytic efficiency issue. The state I live in does not do...

The passenger side rear of my 1998 Sport Edition has water mark stains in the rear corner. Where would your first place to check be?

I can purchase Toyota OEM Dex 3 fluid from local dealer. I'm using it in my power steering. Some say you should upgrade to the Dex 6 in our transmissions. Is this good info? If it matters, I am only gonna use Dex 3 or 6.

I want to replace my radiator on a '02. Any brand better than another? Any suggestions? I'm keeping this 4Runner til death do us part.

I’m sure Thomas will know. Thanks!

I run Amsoil Severe Gear and change every 50K. I ain't blaming the welder. He is not the mechanic. Two different people. I always add 3 qts when I change it. The pin hole was just enough to see a wet spot about the size of a quarter. Most people probably wouldn't have fixed it. LOL It was...

With the following pics, do I have an e-Locker and what is my gear ratio?

Something as simple as putting fluid in diff…. I never would have checked behind “him”. A chimpanzee with below average intelligence should easily perform this task. Fill til it comes out the hole. But I trusted this guy. $1300 later. Hmmmm….. I just got back home. He didn’t even come...

The leak was just a pinhole at the top of differential. It “never” got low up until the mechanic only put 2 qts in after the welding job. I know the welder did nothing wrong. The mechanic said I only gave him 2 qts. Obviously, he didn’t check it after attempting to fill it up. I went back...

mtbtim, thank you, thank you, infinity.... Just talked with Thomas at ECGS. They are only 2 1/2 hours from me. He took me through the ordering process. I am picking up the 4Runner tonight and will know what ratio I need to order. Thomas was great in explaining everything. Total price out...
