Glad you found the issue. Last July, I was headed up to Lake Knoll with a fully loaded Runner. With the A/C on and pushing 65, the engine hit 218. That was enough to worry me. (Intake temp was 141, just fyi) You're lucky that hitting 250 didn't warp anything. Has anyone added a secondary fan...

Salty, I'm running 285-75-16s and love them. This is the setup I used for the lift on my 2000 Highlander. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/144256-kredences-lifted-4runner.html

It sounds like your clutch is good to go. My Runner supposedly has a new clutch in it but it feels really soft to me. I managed to warm up the clutch last time I was out wheeling, but I'm also turning 33" tires on stock gears. You should be fine on this trip. I think it would be worth your time...

A quick update: I adjusted the front end today. I went up a 1/2" (one notch - second from the bottom) at the strut and picked up a full inch at the wheel in the front end. The total lift came in at 2 3/4" in the front (originally 1 3/4") and 3" in the rear. She sits from ground to fender: Front...

So far, it looks like a truck I would walk away from. I REALLY don't like the airbag color. Seems fishy to me. Also, keep in mind that maintenance matters more than mileage.

Good evening. It has been a fun couple of days for the old Runner. She got new shoes on Thursday. 285/75/16 Falken-Rocky Mtn ATS 2. They ride great and just barely fit. Going to play in the dirt with them tomorrow. Today, she got lifted. A week ago I met a guy with a lifted 4Runner at home...

Out here in Arizona, $4k for a good Runner is a sweet price. I paid over $6k for my Highlander edition. A few things. 1st The wheel moldings and floor boards look freshly painted. Why? 2nd The passenger side airbag is a different color than the dash. Looks replaced...indicating it has been in...

First, the leaking and corrosion is from a bad pump, which you're replacing. No big deal. With that said, I would seriously replace the tensioner pulley/bearing while you are in there. It's probably had a lot of water and debris slung into it. There isn't much you can do about the block. I would...

love my 00 I love the headrest holders. It was one of the first things that I noticed when dropping down the rear seats. I've had 3 first gen and 2 second gen Runners. It was about time for this. My favorite thing is the ability to roll up the power windows after turning off the ignition. I...

What in the world does a 60k warranty have to do with anything? I'm no professional but I know of two of my own rebuilds that have made it past the 200k mark. That happens to be farther than the original factory engine made it. It's two part. A quality rebuild, dealer or pro, and consistent...

Edit, wrong diag Okay, So I've reviewed the Headlight Diagram, Turn Signal Diag, and illumination Diag. The only thing the three have in common is the "Combo Switch", being your turn signal switch. The grounds all appear to be separate and the power for the lights originates from that switch...

I want to clarify that this isn't a "Mod". This is normal maintenance. In addition, it was written that most likely the pedal is bent and the cable is fine. This is a complete fallacy unless the truck has been in a bad accident or other event. Cables stretch a lot over time. This is one of the...

Lets get the FSM involved. The only really common piece that can divide the left side of the truck from the right is the main relay.

I would agree. In addition, sometimes they cut out completely when a switch breaks, sometimes they don't. I had a civic with a very intermittent switch that created multiple problems. To answer the earlier question, yes the cut wire was touching a metal flange that sat above the ash tray. The...
