Hello All, I purchased a front wheel bearing and hub assembly from Rock Auto a few months ago and noticed a few days ago that it appears to be leaking grease from the backside. The bearing/hub assembly is a sealed unit and has no grease fittings. I know sometimes a bearing may leak grease from...

2004 4-Runner Does anyone know what the torque specs are on the alternator bolts for the above 4-Runner? Thanks, Ralph

*****Working Again***** Ok, so I removed the fuse, re-inserted and then opened the hatch door. *I then removed the plastic latch cover and sprayed W-40 into the latch area from every conceivable angle. *I then opened and shut the hatch door a dozen times or more in hopes of clearly out any...

Thanks again Blacklabs! I forgot you had listed the parts number already and apologize for making you re-post. I'm going to mess around with the truck today and see what happens. God Bless, Ralph

This is my exact issue. I can actually open and close it continuously after a power cycle as long as I do so immediately. If I let it set for a few seconds then the second motor kicks in and then it's disabled again. I will be checking the limit switch tomorrow. Do you know the proper...

Ok, so no apparent TPM reset on the 4-runner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyone have any idea on the back hatch issue? As noted, I can remove one battery terminal and the rear hatch will then open but it will become disabled...

Hello All, I have two issues at the moment with my 2004 4-Runner "Sport Edition" and would appreciate some input. 1) The rear hatch will not open properly. The latch motor doesn't make any sound and locking/unlocking the doors or lowering/raising the rear window makes no difference. The...

Hello All, I just wanted to inquire whether you think a person who keeps an immaculately clean car is the type who is unlikely to litter? In other words, it's a reflection of their personality. They are obviously conscious of such. I'm not saying everyone who keeps a car as such never litters...

Thanks for the input. I'm looking to replace the dash though and not a cover or patch. I tried Ebay and I'm waiting to hear back from a few in regards to compatibility. One listing states the dash good for model years (2003-2009) but when I enter exact details on another listing, it implies...

Hello All, I'm looking to buy a dashboard for a 2004 Toyota 4-Runner (gray). Any suggested suppliers other than Toyota? I've got to replace to evaporator core and might as well replace my dash as with everyone else, it's cracked. Thanks, Ralph

Hello All, Can someone tell me the cylinder sequence on a 2004 4 Runner. I specifically need to know which is the #6 cylinder? I think it's the Driver Side back one, nearest the firewall, but would like that confirmed. Also, what is the specific torque recommendation for the spark plugs...

The alternator definetly isn't charging the battery. I've never seen this but maybe someone can confirm one way or the other. Is it possible the vehicle is wired so all non essential components are turned off/by-passed with a bad alternator? Thanks, Ralph P.S. If this is indeed the case and...

I am on target Cabowally but the truck may end up going to the dealership if I cannot solve the issue at hand. Until then, I'd like to get my windows rolled up in order to avoid rain from getting inside. Thanks, Ralph

Thanks for the reply. The fan has been working perfectly fine. The A/C stopped blowing cold air and as I couldn't hear the compressor kicking in, we tried looking for some blown fuses. I didn't find any blown fuses so we next were going to check the refrigerant level. However, upon...
