Just a quick update! I found the cause of the humming noise. (Front D/S "Bad" Wheel Bearing) Problem solved!

Thank you for the response! The sound is definitely coming from the rear of the vehicle and is only when the truck is moving. The hum also does seem to correlate to the speed of vehicle and is louder at highway speeds. There is no noticeable vibration and it doesn't sound like normal tire...

Hello, All! My wife recently started hearing a humming noise while driving back and forth on her daily commute. She said it was humming, to which I asked: "But can it carry a tune?" (that's when the fight started) :drummer: It doesn't seem to be the normal humming one might expect from...

Charlie is correct. I've had this all apart a few times and I'm always cautious of that dang switch. Hunting down a wiring harness short is for the birds! Best of luck!

I would check the quick disconnect on the back of the dash console switch. It might be a loose connection or the connector may just need a good cleaning. The wires are thin on that particular wiring harness. Possibly one of the wires has shorted or has backed out of the pressure connector. Good...

This might be a silly question, but did you pull the negative cable on the battery for at least 10 mins to reset the ECU? Sometimes it's the simple things that get overlooked. (I assume if he replaced the starter and ignition switch that would have been done) Code: U0140 Toyota Lost...

2005 4Runner vs 2010 Tundra (just add some mud) So our business location sits next to an empty lot currently being cleared to build a new warehouse. Right now it's mostly used for parking. It's also used as a turn-around to leave. (important factoid) However, after a heavy rainfall this...

Torque converter or solenoid problem/leaking seal/dirty/low transmission fluid would be my first guess. Is it throwing any codes?

Looks like something to look forward to! ha ha Thanks for the heads up!

Replaced the alternator in my 2011 4Runner SR5 I've replaced a lot of alternators but THIS ONE. Why in the world would Toyota put a bracket brace on the back of the alternator with 2 x 12mm bolts that cannot be reached unless you remove the driver side tire and hit it from the wheel well with a...

Sounds like either a sway bar or tie rod problem. Especially if you have handling issues. Might want to also check the control arms, struts, and rack. Here's a helpful video: Can't Locate Clunking/Banging Sound on Your Car or Truck? Quickly Identify Often Overlooked Parts - YouTube

It's likely fuel pump related or a clogged pilot jet,etc... It's possible it's a fuel pump relay failure (as someone above pointed out) or could be the MAF sensor went south on you. I've seen my fair share of troubleshooting fuel issues with 80s vehicles i've owned over the years when 'rolling...

UPDATE: 05/17/23 Soooo, sheepishly I must admit I may have over complicated the issue. I was unable to get around to replacing the coil wires due to unexpected company and a heavy t-storm w/ subsequent power outage that hit us last weekend, here in the Houston area. I did manage to top off the...

The navigation unit utilizes the smaller of the two male antenna leads behind the oem head unit. You need a paid Drive Connect subscription which will allow you to use the navigation features and map updates. Personally I just use the navigation app on my phone via my aftermarket head unit...
