    How to disable tpms in a 5th gen 4runner

    Different wires or reading Pins wrong? Working on disabling tpms now. When OP mentions left to right, I'm thinking that you read across the top 1-2 being top two pins and then the next row down being 3-4 etc Reading like that's gets me other colors than green and green. If I read down the...

    Front seats uncomfortable

    I understand this is an old thread but figured I'd post here in case others have the same question. I came from an 05 limited with no complaints about the seat whatsoever. In fact I don't think I've ever had any complaints about any seat I've ever owned. Honda, Acura, Toyota, Plymouth, Nissan...

    Sound Deadening Advice

    I know this is an old thread and there is a lot of information out there on it. I have seen a few posts about not applying it to the outside wall of the sheet metal, on the inside of the door, due to possibly inviting rust from trapping condensation etc. Seems like most people using it do...

    Rear window doesn't go down all the way

    okay thanks. That's helpful to know. Mine opens and closes fine and as though nothing is wrong. It stops suddenly at about an inch high everytime as though it were designed that way.

    Rear window doesn't go down all the way

    I saw on the Carfax that the person, who owned my vehicle previously, got a new battery a year before trading it in so I was hoping that maybe a reset was all it needed. Problem is that part of the step is rolling the window all the way down and waiting two seconds. Mine won't roll all of the...

    Rear window doesn't go down all the way

    Thanks. Seems odd to have this problem on such a lightly used and lightly corroded vehicle, did your's ever roll the entire way down? I'm wondering if a bunch came from the factory this way and a lot of people never use it and/or never notice. My buddy has a 2017 and said he's never rolled his...

    Rear window doesn't go down all the way

    I know this original post is 10 years old. I recently traded my 05 limited (frame rust finally got too bad) with 230k on it for a 2012 with 64k. Thought I had found the unicorn I'd been searching for the last few years. Seemed to have been used very lightly and garage kept. Frame was in...

    Rotting transmission Lines

    Thanks for the reply. I attempted it today but was defeated by the spring hose clamps. 3 of the 4 came right off but the one was so rusted the "ears" broke off as soon as I squeezed them. I thought the rest would be easy to destroy but apparently there was some good steel left in it. Only...

    Rotting transmission Lines

    Leaking tranny oil lines. Was planning on replacing mine today. Can you replace them without draining the tranny fluid? Will I lose much fluid. My truck goes in next week to have the dreaded evaporator coil replaced so I was going to have them make sure my fluid levels are okay but would...

    *** V6 Head Gasket Action Request ***

    They did wash it, which was why I thought it was dried soap on the lens when I picked it up. I took it back. They touched up the dash and buffed the headlights to almost new looking. Turns out the "stain" was in the outside. I could have sworn it was inside. I was scrubbing and nothing was...

    *** V6 Head Gasket Action Request ***

    I guess they get you in the door by giving you a "reasonable" quote of $2,600 for the head gasket and soak you on the "while we are in there" parts. Got my truck back and it runs great. Jury is still out on what all happened while it was there. Came back with Nick in the dash, sticky rubber on...

    **4th gen cracked dash warranty replacement

    Got my 05 v6 back today, from dealership, after doing the head gasket and saw this new chip and crack/slice. They also did the center airbag sensor recall work. Not sure what they did there though. Do you need to take the dash off? It looks like it was hit with a razor blade or sharp...

    *** V6 Head Gasket Action Request ***

    Mine through the misfire code 6 most ago or so. I heard gurgling a few most later. It started throwing the code more often. Ran rough at start up but barely noticeable and not quite 30 second, I'd estimate. I took it to a shop and parked it when I heard people had them suddenly overheat...

    Oh. I forgot to add that doing the seals brings the total to $4,400. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    *** V6 Head Gasket Action Request ***

    I'm finally giving the green light to have the dealership do my HG today. Had I known what I know now I would have left it at Toy Tech. Bottom line. $2,600 for both HGs. Recommended that I do the timing chain (05 v6 4wd 180k). Brings total to $3,400. Says it's all parts and no labor but...
