Yeah, it freaked me out. Glad it didn't ignite. Lol. I clicked it back into place and tugged it a bunch without the retainer and it seemed to be tight. I put over 20k on it since that head gasket work was done and drive it hard. Just went to my buddies about 10min away and it did good, no leaks...

Hey guys, last night I was going to pick up food. Getting on the highway I punched it to get up to speed. After coming to a stop we noticed an extremely strong fuel smell and smoke coming out of the engine. Didn't see any leaks so I drove it home and parked it. Didn't get a CEL. Came out in the...

I've had pretty good results using Chevron Techron Complete Fuel System cleaner. Within a tank of using a bottle of that and a shell vpower, the gas gauge started working again. It still acts up now and again but it's been way better than when I first bought it, where it wouldn't read fuel or...

I'm in Harrisburg PA and have a set. Shoot me an offer if you feel like driving.

I got 1.25in spacers from rdcobra91 on eBay. They came with ET lugs and I definetly needed them.

Luckily they fixed it. I caught it the week after purchasing it. Small mom and pop used car lot/auto garage. It was like 2700 in work which included resurfacing both heads. It was at 139k miles.

My 5100s are certainly stiffer than the xreas, but I feel like it handles corners so much better while still retaining comfort.

Mine had a little rumble on cold starts for about 15s. Barely noticeable. The way I found out was by filling the coolant in the radiator and overflow. Drove it around for a while then came back home and popped the hood. You could here bubbling after I shut it off. I pulled the overflow cap and...

Just picked up a denso one. Funnily enough the one that was bad said "4/18" in marker and had no brand. Made it a year. Replaced it earlier tonight and drove the piss out of it. Couldn't get it to show the same signs as before. Hopefully this fixes it.

Just got home and gave it a spirited drive around the block. After flooring it a couple times the p0303 code popped up now. So from p0301 to p0301-p0306 to p0303. Turn the truck off and back then its fine. Any ideas before I starting throwing money at it? Edit: I think I answered my own...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm hoping that fixes the issue. Gonna grab some higher octane fuel at lunch today and a bottle of techron. Dont want to start throwing money at it (this thing has been a money pit for me due to PO lack of care) Yesterday when all cylinders started misfiring had me...

Hey guys, last week the truck started acting up a little. Would get choppy around 20-25mph if I gave it gas. Got a cyl 1 misfire code. Swapped coils packs on those cylinders and cleaned the maf. Spark plugs were new with head gasket repair in August. Yesterday it started acting up and I had to...

His first post stated the mechanic found exhaust fumes in the coolant. Thanks for the write up, OP. Just talking about doing this to my 3rd gen this past weekend. 234k miles, certainly wont hurt it. Lol

Looks like the drain plug for the oil.

Wait, so you basically have an awd 4runner. It doesn't have true 4x4; or does but lacks the button to make it function. If it did that would mean you were in locked 4x4 at all times. If you pop the cover off where the cdl switch would be is there an extra plug?
