I will call Camelback Toyota and ask the service director to do a search under your vin to see any open campaigns or tsb's.That serpentine belt on your engine is fairly tight especially between the fan clutch and crank pulley.Take a flashlight and take a very close look at the belt and make sure...

The tool I meant is the one that comes with the pump that actually fits into the threaded hole that the fill plug fits.I retired as a Toyota tech after 20 years before any new 4runners needed trans fluid replacement.

I'd like to know how much the tool is with the screw on fitting that fits on the plog hole in the trans pan.

I could not find the bulletin or campaign that pertain to the misalignment of the pulley's The one for replacing the crank pulley might be a separate TSB. The relay part # is 90987-02022-bad relay good relay is 90987-02028. If you look at the part # for the relay installed on your truck and the...

I vaguely remember a TSB for the 1GR (v6) motor when it first came out.It was a long process of actually installing shims and spacers and checking the alignment of all the pulleys.It also involved replacing the crank pulley(harmonic balancer)Some of these motors came out of the factory with...

Up for sale is a set of brand new in the box 3VZ cylinder heads from factory.These are bare heads which means no studs or valvetrain parts.You basically need to move the parts over from the old heads.I also have 6 exhaust valves that are still in original packaging,brand new.

If anybody is interested in buying the 4runner send me a pm.

Just to give you guys a heads up on a problem i've been seeing on the older 4 runners with the 3.0 v6.If when you drive and the accelerator pedal (gas) seems hard and the truck is sluggish you may need a new throttle cable(gas pedal to throttle body)If you take a flaslight and look under the...

Fuel Prices I saw the thread you started about 4runners losing value due to the mpg thing.A friend sent me a youtube clip of some govt.guy talking about Brazil just discovered oil in the Atlantic that raised their oil reserves from 10 billion barrels to 90 billion barrels.Its in the area where...

Performance is kinda important to both of us,we both have never liked the Camry its just too vanilla.The 4cylinder Camry is sluggish and rough especially with 4 people and ac on.We had a 2006 gs300 which got 30mpg all day long.Too bad it got t-boned on her way to work one morning.Wish I had a...

Ours had a tire vibration at 65mph when it was brand new like 2 days old.After repeated attempts of wheelbalancing and roadforce procedure by 2 different dealers they ended up installing Michelin Cross Terrain suv tires.

I would ask the dealer to replace the rotors and pads,at this mileage I would not want my rotors resurfaced and end up with less metal mass on the rotor.Does the steering wheel vibrate when you feel the problem ? If not then its the rear rotors.

I want to thank everyone for the good advise I appreciate all the input.I need to say that the reason for the 335 purchase was both slightly better mpg and a replacement for my stage 3 subaru sti that I sold last year.I really miss that car,although the t100 is in great shape after driving it...

Due to the wife's long commute (64miles round trip) we may be seeling our 4runner.Its a v8 4x2 with the 5spd atm.I really like the truck it's just the gas consumption that's hurting our budget.Our other option is to sell my mint condition 97 T100 4x4 thats been nothing but awesome for 11 years.I...
