Okay thank you for verifying. Does differential backlash need to be adjusted on this truck? cause i heard thats a thing

Yes it is in park. I know a bit of play may be normal but when i turn the wheels by hand it there seems to be some disconnect there like the wheels turn and then it clunks and catches. I've been having this problem where when im at a stop and im turning it clunks and then catches before going...

When I had my rear wheels off the ground I noticed when I spin them there is a delay and then a clunk at both flanges on the rear driveshaft. Is there a pinion bearing or something that has gone bad? Thanks in advance! 3rd gen 4Runner driveline slop - YouTube

Sorry to revive an old thread but i have a sensor port thing thats been blocked of on my driver side manifold on my 96 4runner 3.4 which i have never seen before on any of my third gens. I'm guessing that is for the egr if there was one. this Does that mean my motor has been swapped or just a...

haha yeah as soon as I cranked er I knew I messed something up. pulled the plug and cranked again and the oil came flying out. scared that I broke something I put everything back together quick and thankfully it started right up. its never easy to break a Toyota and thats one of the reasons why...

about a 1/4 of a cup which is clearly way too much! yeah the truck runs great and I've never had any issues. a slow bit of coolant loss and the white smoke is what made me do the test in the first place. I never have trouble starting or idling and I'm not overheating at all. Is there any...

thanks for the the replies boys I did just this and all is good! I feel dumb for starting this thread

I did a compression test today because I've been slowly losing coolant. numbers were around 175 except for cylinder 3 did 160 and cylinder 4 did 150 (I know I need a new engine soon). I followed the service manual and put a bit of oil down the spark plug hole for cylinder 4 and tried to re test...

I know this is an old thread but i dont really want to start a new one. Im wondering if this Prado factory radio will work properly in my 3rd gen? FREE: Land Cruiser Stuff/ JDM Hwy pass - auto parts - by owner

jam a hockey puck in there. keep one on the dash in all my yotas

Thank you for all the replies! so it was a completely dead battery due to a bad draw from my aftermarket head unit (from PO). i gutted it and all the shit wiring and installed a factory radio i had lying around then charged up a battery i had lying around that i knew was good and away i was.

yeah my jumper is ancient but it usually works for me 5 month old interstate mtp battery (i sell tons of these at my work and they do go bad now and then) battery connections are pretty clean both alternator and starter connections are tight its just weird this happened so suddenly with no...

I got a 97 SR5 V6 daily driver. today i went out in the morning eveything was fine. came home did some stuff for a few hours was going back out and she wouldnt start. I had no power to anything. hooked up the jump starter had power to everything (lights ac locks etc) but just fast clicking when...

Just got this done on my newest to me 3rd gen. I have replaced it on all 4 3rd gens that i've owned and after the first time doing it and rounding off the nuts even with a line wrench all i can say is USE VISE GRIPS! works like a charm every time then i use the line wrench after its loose. Stay...

true enthusiast right there. its essentially brand new i think its worth it as a collector and they'll never make em like that again. you can still drive it a bit too without losing value. vehicles like thar as time goes on will only appreciate and be more appreciated.
