Don't use the #74 bulb I have a 2003 SR5 4Runner, in which the console shift position indicator failed too. After reading this article, I bought a #74 bulb, but it would not fit easily into the console socket. I could have jammed it in, but we try not to do that these days. :-) The #74 bulb is...

My engine check light came on recently. When it did, the TRAC services failed and their lights went on too. My Mech. diagnosed the O2 sensor failed, so we ordered one and I drove away (engine and TRAC lights still on). The next day it snowed, I selected 4wheel drive and immediately noticed a...

Sorry RonMAIDEN, I didn't notice the '3rd gen T4Rs' in the forum title; I navigated to the subject via 'Today's Active Threads'.

I had lots of jeeps and really love them. I still have a '92 Cherokee that is in great shape with well over 250K on it. The problems came with DaimlerChrysler. Off road quality (durability) went out the window. Everything was made out of plastics and frequently broke. I virtually gave away my...

53 and going strong

Nothing hanging there. It gets in the way and I hate anything banging around loose over rough roads. I don't even keep anything on the key chain except the door opener. Oh yeah, C/O '72.

Don't be hard on the girls. This also happened to me and I was in a parking garage at the time. The vehicle had just been serviced and they must have accidentally moved the drivers floor mat. I started the car and as I moved forward the car started acceleratingly on its own. I had my foot...

Back when I drove jeeps I had my windshield replaced every other year. It was so flat it pitted and cracked all the time. They'd come and do it (no charge in MA) in the car park at my work. On the last one I replaced I was told the frame was so weak, from all the previous scraping to remove old...

My heat is out too First couple of freezes this year and my heater fan stopped working. I bought my 2003 T4R in 2006 from the dealer. Fortunately I got the extended warranty. I brought it to the dealer on Monday. He found the service bulletin and scheduled the work for this Friday. He also...

The onboard computer shows the range at 470 miles on a full tank. I normally get 21 mpg around town and 25-27 mpg highway. This morning the fuel gauge was just above the empty. I've never seen the low fuel light come on; it took 19 gallons.
