    Long trip

    Any tips for a long trip? I'm driving 1100 miles in two days, then seven days later I'll be traveling 1400 miles. Moving from CA to MS, wish I could stay in CA, but the military wants me to go.

    Parking Brake idiot light

    I have a 1990 4Runner SR5 and it does the same thing. The parking break light stays on. Sometimes it goes off, but most of the time not. Also the "rear anti-lock" light is ALWAYS on. Mine has some screwly electrical problems. Not to mention the rear-window will only go up from the console...

    shavings/sludge in differential fluid!

    Thanks! The prick at the service shop showed me the plugged and acted like it was the worst thing he'd ever saw. I thought i was beating on my truck and the rear-diff was going to go out or something! He even said, "looks like it has sludge". But now that I think about it it was just thicker.

    shavings/sludge in differential fluid!

    Changed my differential fluid and turned out it was black with sludge and metal shavings. I don't think it has ever been changed and my 4Runner just broke 250,000 miles. Should I change it again soon, do Auto-RX treatment, etc?
