Sorry, it's been a long time since I have logged on here. Yes, as for an update, the dealer did replace both head gaskets. All said and done for about $3300 I believe. It has been excellent ever since. No more issues whatsoever!

Mine is in the shop currently getting both head gaskets replaced. I wouldn't call it an epidemic either by any means, but I also would not ignore the fact that it is happening to people. Google search "P0306 Toyota 4.0" and read through a few. If are researching prior to a purchase, I...

Just got off the phone with Toyota. It's official now guys. HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING. They have had it for three overnights now and they said they left it on a leak down test over night. The head gasket is leaking on the #6 cylinder. So simply by my research on this site and others...

Okay guys, here is a current update from Toyota. They have had my 4runner for two overnights now trying to diagnose my problem. First morning ran rough and threw codes then went off. They pressure checked the coolant system and it held pressure just fine so they said they do not...

Don't believe it all you want. Today the lights stayed on. I'm dropping it off at the Toyota dealer tomorrow so they can start it cold Sunday. I will post photos of the receipts when I get the inspection done Monday. Then will post the receipt for the work when done. Stay tuned...

I'm in the same boat. We have an 04 v6 with 120k. Dealer quoted $2500 for the repair not Including possible machining costs. Toyota has redesigned their head gaskets for this engine. There is a problem and I believe Toyota is not wanting to admit it. Ours currently has the same symptoms...
