Thanks. I used the release button to get it into reverse and drive. I had to pull pretty hard on the shift handle to get it into gear. It is really strange. It was working fine and then bam.

I have a 2005 SR5 2wd. Overall, it runs and operates great. The transmission gear selector is stuck in park. The brake sensor works, you can hear it when the brake pedal is depressed. I used the emergency release button and was able to forcibly shift into reverse and drive. It was very hard...

So I pulled the ABS sensor on the left rear axle. There were metal shavings on it and the sensor was damaged. Grinding noise from the axle. Sounds like the axle bearing may be shot. Is it easier to just swap out a replacement axle or to replace the bearings and seal? Thanks

I did a visual on the wiring, it all looked good. I may just change out the sensor/wiring and see if that fixes the issue.

We have a 2016 4Runner SR5 Premium 4x4. I had some dash lights come on last week as I was driving along. I did a scan and the following codes showed: 1. C1404 2. C1445 3. C1452 The Dash lights that came on were as follows: 1. ABS 2. Brake (red) 3. Skid Control 4. 4LO (flashing) 5. Center...

leak is coming from the left side cv axle seal where the axle inserts into the differential case. Transfer case is dry as a bone. Rear differential is dry, transmission and motor are dry. Phil

with the transfer case actuator leaks, I put in about half a bottle, drove around for 30 miles or so and then drained and refilled with clean fluid. Leaving it too long could cause the seals to swell too much. I had my suspicions about the seal. They told me that they changed the seal when...

Has anyone used Blue Devil Stop Leak to fix a seal leak on the front differential seal? I have used it on each of our four 4th Gen transfer case actuator seals. It worked great. Not sure if use in the differential would cause any issues. Had a shop change out the front left CV axle and they...

I removed the red mountain decals from the sides and the "Baby on Board" sticker from the rear liftgate. Still waiting for the paint shop to get a vacancy..........

Ha, I also have a Range Rover Sport, almost the same aerodynamic qualities! I have done that trip about 30 times in the Rover, I average about 19 mpg, but on Premium gas. I flew up on Breeze airlines out of Orange County, my one-way flight into Provo was $36. Fuel cost on the one-way on the...

I drove the 4Runner 705 miles from Provo, Utah to Pacific Beach, California. The truck ran like a sewing machine. Absolutely no issues. I kept is around 84 mph most of the way. I averaged 18.1 mpg. I was a bit surprised, I thought that it would have gotten better mileage than that. Gas was...

Here is a shot from the auction photos.

We picked up a 2016 4Runner SR5 Premium from the Copart Auction in Salt Lake City. Great looking black paint with a slight dark blue sparkle. It has the third-row seating as well. I reached out to the prior owner who gave me a full set of Husky mats that are in "like new" condition. The...

I decided that I do need the backup camera. I was going to get the rear 4runner plate with backup camera from a newer 4runner, mine is a 2010 and does not have the backup camera. I have a 2016 4runner headunit, that is amazing, I see that there is a modification of two wire harnesses that is...

Thank you. The head lights are now working perfectly. I have no idea what the glitch was, but they now work fine.
