Warped rotors are definitely real... I put mine on a brake lathe and could watch the cutting tool lightly "bounce" off the rotor face as it rotated. I resurfaced them and my braking was smooth as can be.

Weirdly enough a friend of mine who does a lot of front end work just told me about this! I'll have it checked out and update this thread. Thank you

Thanks for the replies! I ended up stripping the block and just left the heads and block and collecting my $200

Oh I'm aware of the little quirks these trucks have but this seems especially different. Good point! I'll check it out.

This is my first 4runner and I've had a few complaints from family and friends when they drive it. Now I've become fixated on figuring out why my steering feels heavy and also it won't snap back into center position. It feels like I'm always correcting it to drive straight. I've cross rotated...

Great thread with tons of good info! Subed!

Subscribed... I've had this issue forever and haven't figured it out yet either. Anyone tried a Fuel Pressure Regulator? Perhaps it's losing fuel pressure and needing to get fuel all the way back to the engine?

Any info on this? I'm jelly!

You can see in the picture there are two "snap-in" tabs on either side near the middle. I don't think you need any tools to remove them. Probably just a light pull outwards.

Well I can't let this go! I'm going to have a tech at work (I'm a service advisor at a GM dealership) look at it. It's driving me crazy. The most annoying part is that it's intermittent. It especially bothers me because I just put a engine in this thing and it's still doing it.

I can say I'm not impressed either. I installed these about a week ago and my left headlight is already flickering. :dammit: I also didn't like the fact that I would have to modify the dust boot as I like to keep everything in it's place as much as possible.

Ohhh I like this one.... Or a mod to turn on all the lights like modern trucks have? I'd like that

968 posts aaaaaaand caught up! Killer thread! After spending nearly a week reading this thread between work and play I'm sad I have to wait for more... Very well written and documented. Can't wait for more Unner! You have given me a renewed desire to get out and explore.

Truthfully I haven't checked ALL the grounds... Battery terminals are good. No codes

So my 4runner has 364k miles and I just put a 100k engine in it last week. Runs great, idles perfect and seems to have a little less power than my older engine (not the reason for this thread but I found it strange...) The first crank in the morning always took a few seconds to start the...
