My '04 Sport V8 just started throwing these codes after sitting in the garage for 2 weeks. P0710 - Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit P0712 - Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit Low Input P2740 - Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor B Circuit P2742 - Transmission Fluid...

After spending a couple days digging it seems that the 11452-50160 is for the '03 &'04 V8's. The 11452-50190 is for the '06 thru '09 V8's For the '05, it depends on who you ask. :frusty:

Better rust proofing of the frame?

Great, that's real good to know. Did you cut the bracket off the new dipstick tube, turn it around & reweld it on or did you just weld the new tube to the old bracket?

Thanks, I'll give them a call since I don't see a dipstick tube listed.

I been searching Ebay. Didn't think of the junk yard. that will be next.

The best thing to do is scrap the x-reas completely. I had a dealer quote me $4,000 to replace it and most indies won't touch it. The x-reas shocks & struts alone were $2,600 and just replacing the shocks and/or the struts is wasted cash if there's a leak in the system. And those prices were...

I too bought my KYB struts through Rockauto. At the time, KYB was offering a $60.00 rebate which I need to get by by going through the KYB website. If I remember right, I had to take pic's of the bar codes on the boxes the struts came in and upload them to KYB along with a copy of the order...

I may have to do that. My old ones not leaking oil-yet. But it's gotten so corroded I'm getting a bit nervous leaving it as it is.

Could be that the ones I posted are a bit more robust to support the added weight of the front differential & transfer case in the 4WD's.

The 11452-50190 is for the '06 thru '09. I know that because I bought one a while back but like an idiot I didn't verify the fit until after the window for returning it was closed so now I'm stuck with it. That 11452-50190 tube is about an inch or so shorter & the bracket is all wrong.

I replaced my front struts a little over a year ago with the KYB SR4130 & SR4131 strut pluses and I'm happy with them. Don't know if it makes a difference but my 4runner is a 4WD.

I've been wanting to replace the oil dipstick tube on my '04 V8 4runner. I tried to order one from a dealer and he confirmed that part # 11452-50160 is the one I need but it's been discontinued. A web search yields nothing, not even on Ebay. Any suggestions?

I put these on my '04 V8 last fall and I'm happy with them. My 4runner's a daily driver that rarely leaves the pavement. Total cost from Rockauto was about $365 after a $50 rebate. KYB 344410 Shock Absorber (2) rear shocks. KYB SR4130 Strut / Coil Spring / Mount Assembly passenger side. KYB...

No, other than fuel injector cleaners I'm a believer that most additives are pretty much worthless. I think they recommend using it something like 4 times a year.
