I use my 07V8 4Runner fairly often for towing, whenever I'm towing something heavy I monitor the transmission temp and coolant temp with my reader and the Torque App on my phone. I remember seeing discussions on this forum and others that there are actually 2 different temp readings, one for the...

Quick question for those of you who have installed the bypass kit from Jeff. I installed the kit on mine a couple years ago and it fixed the problem. I'm probably going to have to take my 07 V8 to a mechanic for another problem and I want to be up front with the mechanic when I take it in so...

I'm getting these 4 codes, noticed a lack of power as well. I'm at 174k miles. The Timing belt, water pump, and tensioner were replaced at 101,311 miles on 2-16-15.This repair was not done at a dealer and was done before I bought the vehicle so I don't know if they are aftermarket parts or...

Good tip! Why didn't I think of that.

Well I got it replaced today. The only challenge was removing the nuts that hold the clutch onto the water pump. The belt orientation doesn't provide much resistance to rotation when trying to loosen the nuts, the water pump would spin free from the belt before the nuts would break loose. I had...

No my local dealers service and parts department was shut down for the holiday today and tomorrow is my only time to install it before our trip. I'm going to let it idle for a while after I install it and keep an eye on the temps to test it out. I have a Haynes manual and it doesn't sound too...

Thanks for the tip. Did the clutches you got from Oreilly's work at first and then fail or just didn't work out of the box?

Got one coming from O'reilly's, will put it on Saturday.

07, V8, 160k Miles. Getting ready to pull our camper on a trip in a few days, I wanted to make sure my OBD reader and tablet were working properly so I put them in the vehicle today for a short trip we were taking. I like to monitor coolant and trans temp when towing for obvious reason...

Rolling the back window all the way down then back up again fixed it. Thanks everyone! Wish every auto problem was this easy to fix.

Last week I changed oil, changed plugs, and put a new air filter in our 07 with 158k miles on it. Then I noticed the other day that the rear wiper, rear washer, and rear defroster are no longer working. I checked all relevant fuses and they are all good. Any ideas? I did disconnect the air...

I'm talking about engine coolant here, not transmission fluid temp. The trans temp went up as well but nothing that I thought was dangerous. I had been running in 4th gear the whole trip, if I'm on level ground with the camper I can run in 5th gear, but any kind of hills I loose too much...

07 V8, towing a camper that weights about 3500lbs. I always use the Torque app while towing to keep an eye on the trans and coolant temps. While going up a decent grade about a half mile long, trans had to downshift to 3rd to maintain 60mph. By the time I got to the top the coolant temp had...

I am in need of the rear passenger side fender flare for the quarter panel, here is the part number. 75653-35100-B2 2007 V8 The plastic that connects to the mounting clips has broken. The part number calls the color "Dark Grey" but I'm not sure the actual color of the vehicle. Here is a...

Can anyone tell me what the cargo area measures with the rear seats folded down? My wife is away with the T4R for a few days and I need to know if I can haul an item 74"x42", flat on the bottom, about 2' tall. Thanks!
