Sorry about that, it’s an 06 4.0 2wd. I did purchase a pulley off amazon but it’s not correct. The belt looks like it rides way toward the back and I’m still getting some clicking noise. I just ordered the entire assembly and I am going to swap the pulleys and try that out.

I am changing put all the pulleys and I’m trying to figure out if the lower idler pulley is the same as the tensioner pulley? I thought I read somewhere that they were the same, but I could be wrong. I can’t seem to find if this is true or not. If not, where should I look? Amazon would be ideal...

Well, back from a wedding and dove into fixing the problem. Here’s where the loud racket was coming from. Pulleys do seem like they need to just be replaced so I will do that. The idler pulleys and tensioner pulleys all seem to be spinning more freely than they should and a few make a little...

Yeah I’m thinking a pulley. Dealing with the belt is a PITA… Ugh.

This just randomly started today. Never had this issue before. Only thing that I have done recently was change the alternator a couple months ago. Still makes the noise with the AC off. Any ideas what this is? See video below - YouTube

So a few weeks ago my passenger door decided to give me trouble locking and unlocking with the fob. After a week or so, it just gave up and will not lock or unlock with the fob. Within about a week, the driver door started doing the same and now the drivers door will not lock or unlock with the...

Poured sweat for an hour in the Florida heat doing a headlight restore with the 3M kit. Started with the 800 grit instead of the first pad. Came out 95% brand new. Worth it! My fiancé saw it and says, "what did you do to your headlights!? Can you do mine, buh?" :ohwell::ohwell::ohwell:

I am not planning on staying in Tallahassee any longer than me and my fiancé have to, but a new 4runner is in my future in the next few years and I will NOT be purchasing one from there. That place left a real bad taste in my mouth. I don't think I will go back to them for anything, period.

This is why my Glock goes everywhere with me. People are insane and think they can do whatever they want without repercussions. Dash cams are great. I find that when I feel like something may escalate, I snap a picture of the plate as soon as I can. I have probably 6 plate photos in my camera...

So I went to the dealer here in Tallahassee. Most unhelpful Toyota dealer I have ever been to. Most dealers have been great to work with. This place was quite quick to shut EVERYTHING I suggested down and to boot, I was told information that was factually incorrect. "Thats key has been...

Welp, looks like I'm going to head to the dealership to ask some questions and see if they can do something. Im at a loss.

So I just received a replacement. Will not program! Do I need to get this key cut and program the new chip key to get the fob functions to work?

I have contacted the seller and they are sending another fob. I’ll keep you guys updated on what happens in round 2. For reference, this is the seller I used...

Here is the number specified on the one I bought. FCC ID# HYQ12BAN HYQ1512Y HYQ12BBX My current fob reads HYQ12BBX. It should work but it’s not. May need a replacement...

I tried erasing the codes and then programing the new fob without success. I have no problems pairing the fob that came with the truck but it doesn’t seem to want to accept the new one. May need to have a new one sent. My security light is flashing non stop as well. Even after erasing all fobs...
