Boy I wish! It’s lived it’s life in PA, MD, and DE. She’s pretty scaly underneath with some frame rot near the rear tire. I almost bought a 95 with 153k on it at a dealer auction this week that was pretty clean underneath with a very very clean body at a dealer auction but I got outbid Anywho...

Today I reset map, changed air filter, treated fuel with sea foam injector cleaner, removed and cleaned MAF and throttle body. Throttle body was pretty dirty, so was air filter. Unfortunately I’m not noticing a change in acceleration. Hopefully I’ll at least see some improved MPG I have access...

No clue when any maintenance other than oil change and tire rotation were last done. I’m gonna replace air filter and clean MAF and TB after work today and see where that gets me. Next will Be plugs Trans fluid looks beautiful

Engine light works and no codes stored. Good advice though. I work at a used car dealership and have seen that many times

182k miles timing belt hasn’t been done since 96k miles (at least that’s what a piece of paper said in the glove box) The history of my trans is pink milkshake around 178k, put a junkyard trans in which didn’t last long, and then the owner of the junk yard paid to rebuild that one at a...

I searched this topic but the threads I’m finding have a CEL or something to point them In the right direction, or are different generations... I have a 2002 limited all stock. I know these aren’t race cars but it seems to accelerate very slow to me. 0-60 is approximately 12.2 seconds (internet...

So I have 4wd, sorta. Pulled the front diff again and I don’t think the fork was lined up with the ring it slides. Lined it all up now I have 4wd it just takes a little process. I press the button and the t case shifts, then I have to turn the key off and when I turn it back on the diff actuator...

Your dealership gave you a part number?! I stopped by my local Toyota dealership recently to try to get info on a part. After the guy finally accepted the fact that I was at the parts counter to inquire about a part, he reluctantly looked it up for me. The only info he would share about the part...

Thanks for all your input. I’ll get it on the lift tomorrow and try it out. I really appreciate everyone’s help!

I’ve tested the two switches near the motor on the t case but no other switches. When I say nothing happens I mean I hear nothing shift. The lights just start flashing. I have tried the center diff button

Yea I tried that. It seemed to work

Now it does nothing when I press 4wd. The “neutral” effect is what it did when I first started having issues. But maybe what you’re saying is what was going on and now the actuator is completely dead. I did remove the actuator and jump it and it moved though. But I was told sometimes they work...

With where I’m at now it seems like the front actuator could be the issue based on everything I’ve read. The thing holding me up on buying a new one is what I said about when this problem started the 4x4 would try to engage and then my 4Runner seemed as if it was in neutral (other than some...

I had little to no hope this would work but I changed front diff fluid because when I pulled the actuator I lost a little oil so since I had no idea if or when it was ever changed I changed it instead of just topping it off. Problem persists

I wish my undercarriage looked like that!
