    replacing intermediate steering column U joint - loose steering

    I fought this for ages, you have no doubt seen my comments in the other steering threads. 03 2WD V6 Limited, with wandering that got progressively worse over a couple of years until driving it was not only annoying, but a chore. At freeway speeds you had to constantly correct the steering, it...

    ***Cracked Dashboard Action Request***

    I have been waiting since initially getting a dash ordered in August last year. I've had 2 false starts where they called and booked me in, dropped the vehicle off only for them to call and say the dash wasn't actually there after all. Its now booked in for next week. Third time lucky!

    ***Cracked Dashboard Action Request***

    I had the same deal, dropped it in, even had a loaner for the day. 20 minutes later they called and said its not really in after all. I'm 9 months in. Took in in originally in August. I call to check periodically, and they say maybe in the next 6 months.

    Cause of Steering Issue(s)?

    I've been fighting steering issues on my 2WD V6 03 for a few years. Its always felt super stiff occasionally to steer. But then on the interstate it would wander, and I could never get it in a straight line without correcting, to the point where it was still stiff to turn the wheel, but the...

    ***Cracked Dashboard Action Request***

    That exactly what happened to me., I wondered if they missed the fact it was a limited, and didn't have a dash with the center speaker cutout in it.... I'm speculating on that though.

    How to: access and remove the subwoofer

    I sure did. I used this sub as recommended on some other thread here as its a direct plug and play with the existing amp and fits into the plastic sub box well. The only thing I found was that the mounting screw holes did not align perfectly with the existing mounting holes around the...

    How to: access and remove the subwoofer

    I just did mine in an 03, and had the same issue. After taking the screws out that attached the sub to the plastic box, it was still stuck fast. Ended up ripping out the cone of the sub to get a better grip, then just pulling and gently prying until it eventually popped out.

    ***Cracked Dashboard Action Request***

    Well finally took it in, picked up the loaner. Got home and received a call to let me know that they in fact did not have a dash in stock. The crew is nice as can be, guess someone just looked up the incorrect part number when I rang to check a few weeks back. They said that there 11 others also...

    V6 Towing 4500 lbs Trailer Question - Route

    To add a note to what Martinjmpr had to say about I40 as you exit TN and head up into the Appalachians. IF you were thinking about going through there. It is steep in places, but your biggest concern would probably the lack of anywhere to pull off in the steeper areas if you did start to...

    ***Cracked Dashboard Action Request***

    I called my dealer yesterday here in Western NC to check on the status of mine. It was ordered back in August. It was there ready to be installed, just waiting for me to call I guess! Scheduled for the end of the month. 03 silver 4runner limited.

    2006 4Runner wanders down the road

    My 2003 was wandering terribly, and it was the rack. I took it into the dealership for an alignment initially and they diagnosed that the rack was shot. They replaced it and its been great since. It could be that yours only has 'play' when its under load? Edit - Mine has 95k miles on the clock...

    Electrical Issue - Rear Wiper Working without keys in ingition

    This same thing is happening to my neighbors 2006. No keys in the ignition and the wiper would intermittently turn on for a few strokes. I pulled a few fuses to see if it would stop it, but it didn't. Mechanic could not find anything.
