I have not had a chance yet to scan for codes. 2006 V8 4Runner 287000 miles. I started the engine this morning then realized I forgot my phone then shut the engine off . I came back 2 minutes and restarted the engine and for about 20 seconds heard a deep rumble and then the check engine light...

Is it ok to lift and support with jack stands a 4th gen by the lower control arms?

Can a 2006 Limited cluster be swapped into a 2006 SR5 without any modding?

Over the years my mother gradually lost her keys and a couple weeks ago had a stroke due to covid and lost the last key. Thankfully she will recover . There were 4 keys programmed and 4 keys lost. Does the dealer have to replace the transponder ECU? I was told that but think its inaccurate...

4th Gen 4runner 2006: History: Previous owner had 4 keys programmed for this vehicle. Over the years managed to lose 3 Keys which were masters. The only key left is a valet Key. How can a duplicate key be made since you need a master I have heard to accomplish this. Can a dealer resolve this...

this happens without the parking brake set. If park on an incline facing downward and level I am fine. If I park facing up steep incline I have VSC ABS and Trac Off lights illuminated and cant shift out of park unless I depress the shift lock override button

2006 V8 2WD 4Runnner. Only when parked on a steep incline (my driveway) I cannot shift out of park (my foot is on the brake)without using the shift override button and the VSC and trac lights are on every time. When I park on level surface I have no issues. Ideas?

that's too soon to have a leak. at 150,000 they usually start to sweat a little oil

SeeVik Less rolling resistance with a smaller foot print increases mileage atleast on other cars. for example going from P195/75/14 to P185/70/14 yeilded me 4 MPG better. I just wondered what the safest size I could go down to without comprimising stability. Why do you make fun of...

I was thinking better MPG If I went with 235/75/16 that's only 1.2 inches narrower and 7mm shorter. Discount tire listed this as an alternate size "plus zero" they call it

Can I replace size 265/70/16 with size 235/70/16 tires?. The difference is 30mm narrower and 22mm shorter.

Mel I would try the electrical cleaner can't hurt and it's only a $4 investment

I was actually thinking more than just the hitch but the hardware the hitch connects to bolted to the frame of the truck.. I have the weight distributing hitch and it is attached with what looks like 20mm bolts. I figured (6) 20mm bolts must be holding something heavier than 33lbs

Since I don't tow how much weight would be removed by taking off the trailer hitch. I have the hitch that goes with the V8 it's a 2006 4Runner
