Nice job. I thought about doing this with a 2008 v8 Limited that I had. Dealer quoted $2500 which was tempting. I sold it to a guy and told home the evap was leaking. He was just ecstatic to find a V8 in good condition..

The heat works great. I’ve cleaned the sensor and it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the reply.

4 Geolander 265/55/r20 All season tires 4 TRD Sport premium 20” wheels Take offs from my 2025 with about 1200 miles on them. Excellent condition with no scratches. $600 for them all. No TPMS but center caps are included. I couldn’t get the pics to upload. Thanks Joe

I took my 2006 to the local differential experts and took a test drive. Less than a quarter mile later the expert told me it was definitely a ring and pinion. I bought a rebuilt pumpkin from ECGS and changed it out in about an hour. $700 later I still had a humming noise. I put the truck on 4...

Hello everyone, My ‘08 AC is acting weird. The system is leak free. When it’s under 85 degrees the temperature of the air from the vents is a chilling 37 degrees. When it gets hot like over 90, the air from the vents rises up to the 60’s. So I know it works great on warm days but won’t cool the...

I am 67 and just bought a new TRD Sport Premium. I don’t put many miles on my vehicles either. I think the 4Runners may be a little overpriced but I was more than happy to pay MSRP for my Sport. The truck still has the Japan build quality. The 6th gen is a notch above the 5th gen. It handles...

I think the driver side cam mark is over to the left of the cam. Maybe 40 degrees off? It’s hard to see if that’s it or not. If so, turn it to the mark.

I just did my 2008 V8. I lined up the crank on the oil pump dot, put both cams on the timing marks, not the T’s. It fires right up. As long as your belt marks align correctly on the crank and cam marks, you are golden. I can’t get any pics to load or I would show you pics.

I bought a high mileage 2008 V8 a couple of weeks ago. 194 K miles. The service records indicate a rear axle seal replacement about 1000 miles ago. No mention of the wheel bearing. I’m getting a humming sound the seems like it is from the rear. Almost sounds like AT tires humming. I know it’s...

SOLD. Thanks everyone.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped me with this project. I love to work on my 4Runner V8. Sometimes I need some help and T4R is always there to help. It’s a great forum. Thanks again everybody!!

Thanks for that. I think it’s ok now. The engine turns freely with the plugs out. Everything lines up perfectly. The notch on the crank is on the dot and the cams are on the mark. Am I missing anything? Thanks again.

I guess I was overthinking it. One revolution is one revolution whether clockwise or counterclockwise? As long as the cam timing mark is correct I don’t have a problem. Thanks everyone.

I turned the engine without the plugs in and it was fairly easy to turn. There were some inconsistencies but it never got “hard” to turn. All marks are lined up perfectly. Is there any way to absolutely tell if the timing is correct?
