    Blinking Tire Pressure Light

    That is a fantastic way to diagnose which sensor is the culprit that needs to be replaced. I just went thru all 4 tires and spare and found that front passenger sensor is bad. Ordered a replacement on Amazon and Discount Tire will install for $15. Thanks for excellent posting on how to figure...

    Can 5th gen wheels work on my 4th gen 4 runner

    Thx for quick reply. I'm trying to pick up a set of wheels today, with P265/70R17 tires and put them on a 2005 stock 4Runner. I understand the wheels have a 15mm offset difference and I'm wondering if these will fit without modification. Do you think these will fit without rubbing? Thx for...

    Car Shakes When Starts

    FWIW, I had in our 2007 4Runner a cold start stumble (only first 1-2 seconds), that turns out was not related to the head gasket, but instead somehow fuel injection related. I put in a treatment of high quality fuel injector cleaner and a full tank of gas. Within a few weeks the problem...

    Diff Lock - is it working?

    Two 4Runners, a 2005 and a 2007, both with V6 engines. Backing up a short steep muddy hill (to unload the vehicles), I put it in 4WDLo and diff engage diff lock. The 07 never has any issue with tires slipping. The 05 would slip/slide and could not get up the hill (and it has much more...

    Horrible snow traction!

    07 4Runner with Dunlop AT20's was unbelievably horrible in the snow my first time out. Clearly the tires were the problem as it slide during turn-in and braking. Since tires were new, I tried siping them and it improved dramatically, but I can't wait to get rid of these and try another tire.

    2003/04 4Runner V6 Versus V8

    My brother has the V8 and he loves the power and effortless acceleration. Agree that with a larger trailer load, I'd be better off with the V8, especially in the mountains. I should plan on getting a trans cooler to extend tranny life as I was unaware that it was not included (got the factory...

    2003/04 4Runner V6 Versus V8

    I love torque and high HP vehicles (have a twin turbo V12), but I have to say the V6 in our 07 4Runner SR5 is truly amazing blend of power and efficiency. We are getting 19-21 mpg in the city (strictly 4-5 mile commutes) and on the highway (mountain driving) we get typically 21-22 mpg, and have...
