I installed a Borla cat-back and I am very satisfied (except for the furnished rubber hanger that I had to replace). I has a nice burble when you get a little liberal with the loud pedal. Very nice at WOT. I also have cold air filter kit installed (K&N) and that sounds like a 4-bbl carb with the...

As glad I am that the front end was addressed, the 4Runner has to go back in the shop! After picking up the 4Runner on Friday night, I made a run up to N.Y. I first noticed that not only is the A/C "PASS TEMP" indicator light is out but ALL the indicator lights are out on the FAN control and...

I got the 4Runner back from service, they replaced the front right hub and bearing assy., left rear hub and bearing assy. and front left wheel bearing. Vibs are gone! There is a slight "buzziness" at 55-65 m.p.h. but when I let off of the gas, the "buzziness" goes away (I have a Borla exhaust)...

Thanks Simple, It is the indicator light in the toggle switch, not the display. :driving:

Had the dealer check out my "PASS TEMP" indicator light is out ('04 4Runner LTD, 4.7 V8, AWD). Warranty dude says that it is a servicible bulb but I thoght it was a LED. Will not cover replacement of indicator light. Service Tech said he even got the Shop Forman involved but the Warranty...

I had posted earlier that I took the 4Runner to the dealership addressing a bearing-like "hum". I just heard from the dealer, says that the front right and left rear wheel bearings need to be replaced. I have the 4.7 V8, AWD. If I am correct, front and rear diff's are open and the center diff...

I have my '04 4runner LTD in for the same thing. It started as a "plastic gear stripping" noise. When I brought it in to the dealer, I demonstrated the noise as I retracted the sunroof. Heard the noise and then it would not close, PERIOD. The dealer just told me that there are two cables and he...

Thanks CJ3Flyr, Sorry about the lack of info. '04 Limited, 4.7L V-8, original owner, 88,700 mi. Yoko Geolanders, G51- HT/S, 36, 000 mi., 265/65/17, 5000 mi. rotations Diff fluid changed@39,000mi. to Amzoil Syn. Tires are road force balanced w/nitrogen, alignment is dead on, mostly highway...

My '04 Limited is in the shop. I brought it in for a few different issues. 1. Front end was (still has the "buzzy" feel to the front end) sounding/feeling like a bearing issue. 2. Sunroof sounds like gears are stripping, now, will not close. 3. Indicator light for "PASS TEMP" is out, diode...

I am on my 2nd V1. I absolutely LOVE IT !!!! I had an old original ESCORT which was good but V1 is waaaay better. They have a policy that if their technology improves, you can send the unit back and get it upgraded for $ 50.00 to keep your V1 current (price and policy might have changed, I...

Still have the front end vibs. I now notice that there is a sound/moaning upon deceleration and during acceleration. Tires are Geolander G051 H/T, 265/65/17. They have 25, 000 miles and still have great tread life. Tires are road force balanced and just recently filled with nitrogen (nicer...

On my '04 LTD, the pass. temp adjust back illumination is out. I also notice that from time to time, the clock side of the display, the orange illumination sometimes gets "jiggily". I have the 6 yr/100 K platinum warranty but the dealer said that the tech rep has to come out and make a ruling...

I just heard from my dealer concerning the steering wheel vibration. The so-called "tech rep." sent from Toyota said that even though there is a vibration, since the technicians at the dealership (they also said that there was a vibration) could not find any part that was damaged or broken and...

I am not new to the site but I finally registered! I took my '04 LTD into the dealership for the infamous steering wheel vibration, on Monday. I have had the vibs for at least 15, 000 miles (now at 69, 500 miles). I waited for the Dunslops to hit the wear bars (60, 000 miles) and replaced with...
