I would look into a clogged cat a Vac gauge that reads low is a easy check.. :clock:

There is a test that can be done if you have a blown head gasket. If you go to a shop they can take a gas sample of the radiator to tell if there is combustion gases are in the cooling system. If you are hitting your head against a wall the test could be worth it. Call and ask for a price at...

If the Temp is 210 or below you should be ok if you can take a Temp reading you then you will truly know if it is overheating. Is the system loosing coolant or is the temp gauge reading hot. How long have you been driving this before the system started to show a over heating problem ...

Elmers wood glue no kidding it works fine:tongue:

I have been on this sight for only a couple of years now. Let me thank you "for your service" hoping life treats you well. May you have many happy days.

I would pull the skid pans then take it to a coin op car wash that allows engine cleaning blast off all the years of crud then drive it around for a bit and see where the leak is coming from. You will be much happier when you go to work on it after doing this. Bring a creeper some eye...

While you have it out pull the pump reservoir and hose out the screen:banana:

While the skid panels are off take it to a car wash that allows engine cleaning. Take a creeper and look at what you want to clean while your there. When you start pressure washing have eye protection. Things not to do is don't hit the alternator, exhaust system with a lot of water or the...

Saw it great video looks like that rig could go another 200,000.:trophy:

It would be a good idea to take a bit of sand paper and clean up all of your grounds. There is the large cable that goes to the block, on the fire wall on the passenger side coming off the back of the head, one the drivers side on the head I think. I also put a little copper coat under the...

I went threw a driveline balance issue with my 4runner. I have a few questions[ 1. are you sure its a driveline issue sometimes front suspension and tire balance can feel like driveline. 2. have you tried the drive line in different positions on the differential yoke. 3. is the driveline a...

I agree with bad luck. I use a different method for fluid exchange Timmy has a video on it. If it works thats great it will cost you around 100 in parts and less than a day of work when you pull the filter take a picture of what is in the bottom of the pan and show us.:playball:

O jack this thread is talking about Automatic my suggestion is start a new thread with something like Jumping out of gear. Most 4runners are autos you are lucky to have a manual if it is a V6. I would start with pulling fluid and see what kind of metal comes out and put that on the post...

Looks fine to me if it is original it has lasted this long it should be good for another 200,000. Just kidding hurry change it.:flame:

Like we said above if it is a original drive shaft like it sounds like then go with a new drive shaft I don't know the reviews on the Rock Auto so that's up to you. Another thing to look at is the tail shaft bushing on the transmission they will wear over time so if it feels excessive or you...
