    Fixed my T-Case actuator w/ electricity and logic.

    Thanks! This thread helped me fix my 4Runner. Using a multimeter, the 4wd switch was verified to be working correctly , but no power was measured to the actuator motor upon moving the switch. The actuator motor was disconnected at the 4wd computer by removing all connectors and the actuator...

    Snapped Wheel Lug, very easy fix.

    Thanks for this thread..it helped for part of the repair! My experience...I noticed that tires needed rotating on the 2007 4runner. A wheel stud snapped while tightening a lug nut on the first 2 tires in the rotation. The lug nut seemed to be taking more turns to tighten than the other lugs then...

    V6 owners, how are your water pump holding up?

    My experience...after my 2007 4Runner V6 with 163K miles was parked for 30 minutes or less, a large amount of coolant leaked out from the water pump weep hole. After adding water to the radiator, it is estimated that a pint a minute was leaking from the weep hole. Of course, every traffic light...

    DIY lift gate lock assembly

    I concur...Great Instructions!!!. I am glad that I searched this forum before attempting the repair. It would not have guessed that some type of "programming" would be required for changing the lift gate lock assembly. We had been spraying the lift gate lock assembly with WD40 that was kept in...

    Write-up: How to Disable (Bypass) the TPMS

    I just to make folks aware of a low cost alternative compared to a dealership if you want to keep using the TPMS system. I bought some wheels from Craigslist with no TPMS sensors. So I bought 4 Denso 550-0103 TPMS Sensors from Amazon for $32 each. Costco mounted tires that I supplied for $15 per...

    My turn for some 5th Gen wheels ony 4th Gen

    I agree that rust should not occur if the wheels are pure aluminum; however, dissimilar metals in contact can cause the wheel to seize to the hub. It happened to my 4Runner with the original wheels; so some anti-seize compound was applied several months back to prevent it. Hopefully, Costco...

    Check Engine, TRAC, AND/OR VSC On? Read Me!

    The "quick fix" (disconnect battery for a few minutes) was implemented from another thread about these same diagnostic lights. Our 4Runner had been sitting for some time, and the last time that we recall driving it was to/from a vehicle inspection. Based on the other thread, this info prompted...
