Interesting. I’ll use a friends code reader and delete those codes.

It can mean anything from a loose gas cap to the earths magnetic pull is reversing.

2006 v8 4runner with about 225k in n the car. Last week the MAINT light would flash 7 times on start up. Pulled codes c1223, c124, and c1253. None of the other lights stay on after initial start up. None come on while driving. After reading a few threads I replaced the break switch and...

The v8 has a timing belt. That’s what I mentioned was changed and I will change it again. I don’t go to dealerships for the work to be done. If I have the time and patience I’ll do the work. When I don’t have the time and patience I take it to a qualified shop. So like I said, it was the timing...

I ran the equivalent to Toyota pink from oreillys. The Asian car pink coolant. I had the 4runner towed to the shop that last did the timing belt/water pump 5 years ago. I’m going to have them asses it and if it looks like it was the thermostat or radiator that failed then I’ll order parts for...

Side note: black gook is odorless. Maybe this radiator gave up the ghost and cooked the plastic?

2006 4runner v8 230k on the vehicle. Timing belt and water pump up to date. Radiator is two years old. Denso. Fresh oil change two weeks ago. On a 100 mile trip the over flow started steaming. Car engine temp was normal but allllll the lights on the dash came on. Pulled off freeway to a...

Yeah. Gona pull it apart this weekend

2006 4runner passenger window slow or doesn’t go down. Seems to roll up at normal speed once I muscle it down with the switch and hand on the window. Anyone else encounter this? Could be the shitty tint one of the previous owners put on the front windows but I think the roll up would be just...

Oh I never updated this thread. Yeah I replaced the motor. No issues with it ever again.

Going oem, found a deal through a friend that has a connect to Toyota parts. They did ask for the old one back. Wondering if anyone has torque specs for the instal. I’m not really wanting to buy the 4 volume fsm for $300 on ebay

It’s been a while but I think it’s pretty straight forward.

Here’s an old listing for the 4runner when I sold it. I had to convert it back to the run of the mill 1st gen when I sold it. Ha SOLD - Los Angeles, CA 1985 Toyota 4Runner | IH8MUD Forum

Yeah no kidding it’s an edited picture. That’s my old 1985 4runner that I edited to send to Gambler 500 as a joke.

Codes stayed away for 4 days until I installed slyfox75 ‘s block off plates and bypass relay kit. 4runner is rolling nicely now with no high pitch shop vac noise at start up
