    2012 Limited should I buy

    All, Thoughts on a 2012 Limited, 2wd in good condition, all maintenance done at dealer, 2 owner for $18500? Think I might go offer $17k cash and see what happens. It’s a bit old but I know these things are tough and it’s more of a second car for us. Don’t need 4wd, may use for occasional...

    Ticking when running AC.

    I have the same ticking/squeeling from the blower fan at the passengers feet (started as intermittent then got maddening). Took it out and cleaned it the best I could but no luck, I actually made it worse. It's pressed together so looks like I'm just going to have to order another one. Let me...

    Trouble code p1135

    I have a '99 3.4L Cali Spec 4runner I bought 3 years ago in Pennsylvania. Been running it with the CEL throwing P0125 & P1135 ever since with no problems and good gas mileage (probably clogging my cats though). I just ordered the denso sensor so I'll be sure to update wether or not it works...

    Trade:My 4wd for your 2wd

    I have a '99 4runner sr5 4wd with 135k (no locker). It's a northern car so it has some underbody rust which I don't have the resources to fix myself (main problem is the LR shock mount). Perfect car for a wrencher. I bought it from an older lady and it had 102k on it. The engine runs smooth...

    Brake line Leakage problem

    I notice my brake fluid low and traced it to the drivers side line that runs by the gas tank It seems like there is a section of line that starts by the drivers door, and goes above the rear diff, and then splits to each rear side. It seems like a pain to replace, does anyone have any pointers...

    '99 SR5 Leaking Oil

    I have a '99 SR5, 3.4L 4WD with 132K. I went to change the oil the other day for the first time (usually had the dealer do it) and noticed a few drips. After removing the smaller skidplate to get to the oil plug, I noticed oil all over everything around the front end. It was only about a half...

    CEL's...What to do

    I bought a 99 SR5 4wd, 3.4L in Pittsburgh two years ago. Right after it threw the P0420 code (lovely) and Toyota wanted $2600 to fix it. Since I was moving to Louisisna, I figured I'd just drive the pollution wagon and not worry about it. Now I'm finally getting around to clearing the light...

    Pink Milkshake Question

    I have a '99 SR5 3.4L 4x4 Automatic, pretty sure with the stock radiator. I'm confused as to how the pink milkshake actually occurs. I've done a lot of searching and still don't understand how the radiator and tranny cooler are integrated? Maybe some pics would help.

    Cylinder #5 Misfire

    My truck had the same problem (#5 cylinder too). Mechanic determined it was a clogged injector after ruling everything else out. I really try to only use Exxon gas as they are the only ones to not use ethanol in unleaded (everyone else uses 10-15%).

    Help. Spark plug came lose, thread problem

    My girlfriend has a '97 SR5 with the 3.4L. A year ago the spark plug popped out while driving. Apparently the threads on the plug were worn down somehow so it was fixed. A year has passed, and now it's happened again, and Toyota is saying the head needs re-tapped which is around $2,000. Does...

    Only getting 15.5 gallons from my 2000 4Runner

    I have a stock '99 sr5 3.4L. I always set the trip every fill up and the light comes on at 240 miles with 4 gallons left. That means I'm getting 17.15 city mpg's. Yesterday, I ran it to 276 miles and ran out of gas somehow, and I'm sure I filled it up previously. I was able to restart it...
