In addition to the symptoms mentioned above, while I was troubleshooting my key fob, I noticed the long beeeeeeeeeep would sound when the hatch was up. Same sound as when u try to lock the doors remotely when one is still ajar. So, I knew my key fob was working to some extent. Anyhoo... Thank...

My truck (2000 t4r) has been having a hard time shifting into 1st for at least a year now. Recently started having trouble starting with clutch so I had to use the bypass button. Just checked and turns out this bolt was loose. Fixed the starting issue so far. Haven't driven it, yet. Hopefully...

Awesome videos. So much appreciated! Tempted to just buy one because their work appears flawless.

Just fixed my P0115 error. My truck was very hard to start this morning; but basically a no-start situation. Starter and electricity seemed strong, tho, but wouldn't fire up. CEL was P0115. Did some searching and found this thread. When I went to find and examine the ECT sensor, low and behold...

Firstly, thank you all immensely for your help and suggestions! I went ahead and bought new Aisin master/slave cylinders as it wasn't particularly expensive. When I got some time to do the job, I actually noticed that the fluid level was indeed a tiny bit below the minimum level. I didn't...

I spent a bit more time investigating this morning. I don't see any leaking fluid anywhere in the clutch lines and the level seems good. I did get it to lock up once while I was tested in my driveway. This time it locked up and I couldn't get it out of gear... I think it was reverse. Had to mash...

I'll take a better look tomorrow to see if there are any leaks. Seems like a good investment to replace those before the clutch and see what happens.

Yes. I believe I did notice that’s how it felt. Like something beyond the peddal was stuck and still engaged.

I've never done a clutch flush since I've owned it - about 7 years, ~100k km/60k miles I think I have all the receipts from the previous owners and no clutch or fluid changes so good chances the clutch system hasn't been touched in 22 years (2000 model). Just passed 300k km (180k miles) on the...

Ok, I've read a couple of threads but not sure I understand how to eliminate options. Original symptom which happened a couple days ago was the clutch pedal wasn't returning consistently - sometimes not fully, sometimes stuck to the floor. The push to the floor has always been good - lots of...

I've always liked the idea of cutting fenders away as much as possible to fit bigger tires to keep it as low as possible. Anyone ever heard of stuffing some 33's under a 3rd gen with just fender trimming? I'm not opposed to any serious cutting, but just curious if there's any major road blocks...

I tow a ~3200lbs with my trailer/buggy setup. This setup tows very well. I'm about level or a little rake when unloaded, but with the trailer on, I'm sagging a bit but the 4runner (5speed) tows great. No problems. The tongue weight, balance and COG on my trailer is pretty good. My 2200lb travel...

Good post. Comparison photos would be nice, but I'll take your word for it.

O-ring? I didn't install or remove any o-ring. I think the sensor unit had one pre-installed. I'm only half way thru my gas tank but it seems like my gas milleage has improved significantly. Hard to say before the end and I think it takes a couple tanks for the ECU to re-optimize?

This single post was really helpful. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/2190487-post16.html I've been getting an intermittent P0110 - Intake Air Temp. Circuit Malfunction error on my 2000 4runner. Cleaned my MAF a couple times but didn't seem to help. Gas mileage has gone down about 10-15%...
