my old 4runner was an automatic with V6. The one I drive now is the same except a 5 speed. The big difference is the rpm's doing 120 Km's an hour. The auto was 2500 rpm's and the 5 spd is 3000!! is this normal? I thought it was high. Does anyone with the same 4runner give me some info! THanks...

hey Zombie, very small world! I live near downtown Guelph! I would sell it but not for $200! I have a lot into it now. I also need to get my rad repaired. Thanks for your info I will have to check into that. Pioneer Transmission in Kitchener did my differential work and they told me to bring it...

Hi Guys, sorry about that...My 4Runner or $runner is a 1990 5 SPD, V6, with auto locking hubs. The guy said the transfer case is okay. He figured it was something up front but did not have time to investigate.

okay, after much wait the 4runner is done, sort of. Now that they have the diff in they told me that after a road test the 4x4 front won't engage. I noticed when I bought it that when I put it in 4x4 the light did not come on. I did not try it on the road as I had no insurance at the time. So...

It is a nice drive! I lived in Banff when I was 19 for awile and then had to grow up! It's a fun place in the summer and winter. Kind of miss skiing and stuff. My Brother lives in Vegas and one of these days I would love to drive out but not sure how long it would take from here (Guelph...

where about's in Idaho are you? I remember dating a girl in High school and one summer we drove down to Sandpoint Idaho from Calgary to vacation and it was really nice there. The 4runner to me is worth the money I just hope it doesnt continue. I have to have the rad repaired yet and new fluid...

My 4runner should be out this week. The guy told me that the existing diff had been run low on fluid and was worn pretty badly. So now I am putting on another diff and he is replacing the axle seals as well. I had him service the tranny and transfer case too. He said the fluid in the diff was...

Thats a good deal! but I guess you still have to pay labour though....I am picking up my diff on Saturday and have it put on next week. I love driving the new to me 4runner though!

Hi Guys, thanks for all the help and info. I just had the 4runner in the trans shop getting my linkage/ pin fixed so now I can find all my gears! The humming is still there in the Diff though. I might go pick up the other diff this weekend. Is it okay to keep driving the unit or should I just...

Hey, I did find the ratio to be the same as yours the G254. I have a second 4runner that my sister is supposedly buying from me and I had her check the same spot and it's a G254. I don't want to part out that one but depending on the price of a newer one!. I am going to call the wreckers this...

HI! thanks for the reply! it was a great help. I have the g254 as well. So tomorrow I am going to look for a used one and see what the price would be. I am not an offroader per se but I do like snow! If I have a humming from the back is this a sign that the DIFF is bad? I took it to a tranny...

I bought this 4runner last fall and have noticed a humming from the back. I took it in today and said the differential was needing work. How do I know what gear ratio it is? I have another 4runner same year both V6. Would the other diff work? one is automatic and one is 5spd. Thanks for any...
