mine was just the clock. it was an easy fix-take off dash, unplug old one and plug in new one. works great

have you had the mass air flow (MAF) sensor cleaned? i have read where that could be the culprit to rough-idling engines. just a thought

hey supra, check my post before this one-i posted a link with how-to pictures. let me know if you need any further help.

here is the most descriptive link i found for taking off the cener bezel to get to clock, radio, etc. it will vary a little for 99's and up i believe: http://www.yotatech.com/f127/aftermarket-stereo-installation-3rd-gen-4runner-75275/ once you do it, you can have it all off again in like 5...

yes-i purchased the new(used out of a 99) clock from ebay and unplugged my old one. plugged in the new one and it worked like new. its easy.

the clocks in 4runners suck. mine hasn't worked for awhile, but prior to going out completely, i could tap or flip it and it would come on only to fade out again until it never came back on. i think they are notorious for having this problem. i bought one off of ebay last month for like $40...

thanks for the help guys. pat-i'm going to pm you on that extra remote you have! thanks

the previous owner of my 97 can't find the keyless remotes. i have been looking to replace one and it seems that there are two that could have gone with mine: a black one and a gray one. any ideas on which one will actually work with mine? also, i believe that the factory one with mine has 2...

i just had mine changed at 268K for the first time, because the guy i purchased it from had never replaced it. the mechanic said it was just a little fuzzy was all. my runner is a 97 SR5 4x4, and i believe all 3rd generation runners are non-interference motors, meaning if it does break while...

yea i had read about that rear suspension recall also. evidently it has to do more with the safety of the vehicle than the sagging. i was under the impression it was only for 97-99 models, but i could be wrong. your local dealer will know when you give them your vin#.

ron and kingbiscuit, thanks for the info. i did not pay much for it at all, given it was a freind who sold and and given the mileage. i really like it better than the lexus. i hope she holds up for about 100K more!! my friend was in real estate so he used it for highway miles a lot. i'm...

just bought a 97 SR5 4x4 with 267,XXX on it. check engine light was on for need of a new O2 sensor. i unplugged the negative battery terminal for a few and hooked it back up and its as good as new. i'm shooting for 100K more miles. i may replace the sensor later

ha, i asked my friend that and his reply was "i don't know if it has a timing belt or chain". thus, he has NEVER replaced the belt and it has 267,900 miles on it currently!!

i'm new to the club and just purchased a 97 SR5 with 267K from a friend who has owned it for years and wanted a suburban. i also own a 95 lexus LS400 with 215K on it and i love it. i owned a 95 4runner for a few months but gave it up for the lexus. i have always wanted a 3rd generation runner...
