I put new break pads on my 86 22RE and the test drive wasn't what I expected. The peddle is hard at the top. You have to press hard to get some results and when you press harder the drivers side breaks grab and the vehicle skids. What has changed? What do I need to do to correct the problem...

I need help with a problem. Here's what's happening. When I downshift and acceleration something starts to slip. The majority of the time the slippage is after a downshift from 5th to 4th to accelerate up a hill. Sometimes it slips when I accelerate without down shifting. It doesn't slip every...

Thanks for the YOTA forum information. I'll bet this is the problem. Thanks again.

WOW ! I guess I don't know the answers to all those questions. I did what I could and got no where so that's why I took it to the mechanic. I trust his judgement and didn't question his analysis of the problem. He's been in business for as long as I can remember and I'm 60. He's been...

1986 4-Runner 22RE...mt, 4X4. I have a chronic alternator problem. The problem is it quits working leaving the 4-Runner to run off the power from the battery until the battery runs out. My mechanic put a new alternator on in February 2012. It quit working almost immediately. It was defective...

Seat belt Thanks to all of you. Ended up purchasing an Advanced Auto lap belt for $20.00. They keep a stock of them for all the folks that bring their vehicles to Pigeon Forge for auto shows but left their seat belts at home. Thanks again

I just replaced my muffler and the exhaust from the muffler to the rear of my 4-Runner and the fumes went away. I have leaks in all my windows and I was getting gassed all the time but the new system stopped all that. The muffler shop turned the end of the pipe down a little. That may have helped.

Anyone know where I can find a replacement seat belt assm. for a 1986 4-Runner. I need the driver side assm. Prefer tan but will take anything. The spring is weak and will not retract all the way. I cut some of the belt length to try and wind the spring more to tighten it...didn't work Thanks

I used a screwdriver and took it real slow. I would put a piece of leather or something soft between the plastic lens and the screwdriver to "soften" the point where you pry. It's worked for me every time. If the lens has any burned looking places on it go a different spot to pry. Also if...

I agree with yotarob. Take it anyway.

Will a leak in the head gasket keep the radiator from drawing fluid from the over flow tank? The engine doesn't get hot but when I look in the radiator tank all I see is the metal first rung of layor of metal and it's not covered by any antifreeze. I'm replacing the filler hose but don't think...

Thanks for the info How long can I let this go on. $ shortage What does it take to fix it. Thanks again

Need help! The clutch is making a "TING" sound when I release it from a stand still. I don't hear it when I switch gears. I replaced the clutch slave and hubs about a year ago. Had to run it in 4 WD for a while but I don't think it's the springs in the hubs. What-cha think it is? Thanks
