    Looking for V8 Limited owners with Air Suspension issues.

    Re: Re: Looking for V8 Limited owners with Air Suspension issues. I thought of this. The truck is a lease so I am tempted to just pull the power to the compressor when the truck is stable but I don't know what the effect would be. I would hate to have the suspension dump while on the...

    Got my 4Runner V8 Dynoed today! =)

    I would love to put my 05 4Runner on the Dyno but where I live, I can't find a 4 Wheel Dyno to do the job. How about some of us with 05's putting up a fund to have someone with an 05 to slap their rig on the Dyno? I would love to know what the numbers are like. Cheers,

    Can I tow my car with the runner?

    Are there brakes on the Trailer? I have a 05 Limited V8 and I tow a boat and trailer that is around 5300 LBS with no problems at all. The trailer has Surge Brakes though. If I had no trailer brakes, it might be a stretch. Cheers,

    Strange thing in Air Cleaner

    I was loking the other day at my Stock Air Filter in my 05 V8 Limited and there is another cloth-like screen above the filter. This would be after the filtered air. What is the deal with this? If I were to get a K&N, would I leave this in. I didn't spend alot of time looking at it but I have...

    2004 vs 2005 V8 HP/Torque

    You will never hear your 4R ping as it has advanced detonation detection. It will sense the detonation and pull back the timing long before you would ever hear it. I can guarantee that in hot weather if you are using 87 Octane the timing is going to be pulled back and you will not get your...

    disappointed with trd...runner needs more HP!!!

    There is no such thing as too much power! If Toyota offered a 500HP motor in my 4R when I bought it, I would be driving a 500HP 4R right now. There is no such thing as too much power!

    AC Pump and Idle

    I completely understand why the Idle may have to be compensated but I think it is being compensated way to much. It is really annoying when you are stopped because if you don't put enough force on the brake pedal, when the AC Pump kicks in the truck inches forward. It appears that this is...

    53' trailer parked on my 4Runner

    Krosno3, That really sucks. I don't know if I could keep myself from putting a beating on that morron who dinged your truck. I would need someone to talk to him because I would fear I would start talking with my fists. They should be able to bring it right back to new. I would make sure you...

    AC Pump and Idle

    I have noticed that when the AC pump kicks in on my 05 V8 Limited, it pushes the RPM's up about 250-300 RPMS. When this happens if you are stopped and light on the brake the truck will inch forward. I have also can feel the pump kicking in and out while driving on the highway. You can feel a...
