I use wipe new.

Have you checked for frozen calipers? These 4th Gens eat stock or auto zone type. I went with Powerstops my last round and haven’t looked back. Also, could be a hub going bad.. Around 200K the average on them. If you do one, do both.. But these normally make noise when going bad.

Copy and thanks. I have a 10 second video I tried to add. No work. Not sure on a hosting site for videos here. Older type lol. But if someone walked me through I’d post it.

2003 Runner here. This brake pedal noise after pressing is driving me crazy. Been going on a few months now. No braking concerns just the noise. Can a video be posted here?

Just dropped my 03 off today. Timing belt, water pump, and coolant for $950 out the door. Lexus/Toyota mechanic.

Wow, looks like a gut job. Why does the dash need replaced? Timing belt and water pump need replaced. They have 120 months on them. Your price is way high. GL

Picture of issue.

For those with grey cladding on the Sport. Is there a product that brings the dullness back? I've tried back to black, trim shine, and waxing. Nothing seems to help. Any ideas? Thanks

Try using a hair dryer and soap and water first. If that doesn't work WD-40 it. Finally if that doesn't work a little gasoline on a rag will. Just make sure to wash and wax when done.

Help.. My 2003 4Runner Sport has 265 65 17's. I'm looking to replace with some 2016 Tundra wheels and tires that are 255 70 18. Will it work? Rub?

You have 13 years on your original belt. The manual is every 72 months OR 90K miles. If/when it goes and engine is destroyed. There is no one to blame but you.

Gas here in SC is $1.77 a gallon. Ethanol free runs about $2.99. 9 miles a gallon is still 18 wheeler or Humvee low.

? Miles. Timing belt/water pump done? When? Thanks

I would start with above mentioned. Make sure spark is being sent. I'd also check your spark plugs. Have you ever changed those? Make sure they are good. Go from there.

Never take from a 401 or Roth for a vehicle. That is a very bad move.
