Good info here, thought I would bump. Went months never putting more than 13 gals in the tank, 2000 Lmtd.

Last time I spoke to him he said he did not want the truck back period!!!! That was the same conversation when he said why dont I just give you the truck, I declined the offer, but should get it for a good price with repairs included.

Thanks, I am very pleased. After I have the detail shop do a full major clean and buff plus matching Toyo spare tire, total expense to get truck on the road: $2244.34 :cheers: Now its time to negotiate the sales price with the "actual" owner, and yes, he did try and "GIVE" me the truck and...

Paint no too bad Before and after pics, have not waxed it yet, so may look even better with high speed buff.

Lots of info here about the lean codes, but wanted to share my story. I have been working on this truck now for several weeks (see other thread) http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/63559-cam-valve-damage-00-4r.html Finally got the truck running and driving fine except for a slight...

Nice, thanks for the pics!!!! You said you had trouble getting it delivered, what was the total cost?

Thanks Finally shut the door on this project!!! Thanks for all the input here, I am a veteran IH8MUD member, but will now join the 3rd Gen ranks here as well since I should be holding on to this rig for a long time as long and no more surprises pop up. She runs, drives and shifts perfect...

Runs Perfect Well, after much confusion and dead ends we have resolution. Turns out after we puller her back down, the cam was re-installed (in my absence) without taking into consideration it is spring loaded!!!! Mechanic that came in to "do the simple stuff" and install cam, valve covers...

The computer we had it hooked up to had a "Service Note" regarding double electrode plugs ONLY, that single electrode plugs may case misfire, seems I read that in a Haynes book also. Any thoughts? That Bosch plug looks rough. NGK is the way to go or Yota plugs.
