Know this is an old thread, but my question is on topic. I have a ‘99 4Runner with a manual trans. Do these have trans coolers the same as the auto? If they don’t (I don’t think they do), is it possible to add one? TIA

Hi all, I just did the following work on my 1999 4Runner 3.4 that has a 1st gen supercharger. All parts are Toyota All injectors Valve cover gaskets Cam plugs Cylinder head plugs Denso IK22 plugs gapped at .035 timing belt cam seals crank seal idler pulley #1, #2 timing belt tensioner water...

Thanks, everyone, I was hoping it would be doable and easy.

I have a young 3.4L engine, 100K miles, that I'd like to put in my 3rd Gen 4Runner. However, my existing 3.4L in the 3rd gen has a TRD and I really want to keep that, and the low miles engine does not have it. I've looked around but have not found anyone doing the swap. I ASSUME that it...

You guys are awful quiet.

Hi all, I've owned a 3rd gen 1999 4Runner for 12 years, I love it. It's been very reliable, easy to work on for the most part (gotta say not a fan of replacing the starter, though), and I've even got a source in Toyota now so I get discounts on factory parts. 2 years ago I bought a 1998 for...

Thanks, that's the 2nd thing I did, replacing the swar bar bushings and links (this was after redoing the suspension).

It's been a couple of years since I put on my OME 2" lift, so I don't recall the kit number. I thought mine came with shocks. Check out this page - the complete kit (unassembled) is $829. The 4x4 shop I bought it from said it was considered an option to people who wanted more of a better...

You mentioned that uppers have replaceable bushings, which also means the lowers do not. Energy suspension sells front control arm bushings for both the upper and lower - http://imagesrv.catalograck.com/imgVD/ENE/17P17661.pdf You also mentioned that death wobbles are caused by front end...

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help. I have a 99 $runner 4wd that has a death wobble. I'm told by a mechanic "the rear track bar and both lateral bars/lower control arms have play requiring replacement" (that's exactly how it's written in the inspection notes). I also have a 2" OME...

Sorry guys, bad news for others, good for me. Seems the compression tester from Autozone was wrong, while I have not retested it, the engine is acting like a 3.4 (with 200K miles) should, now. Chased the misfire through fuel cleaner (Seafoam), spark plugs, wires, coils, and finally replaced...

Thanks, I was trying to figure out if any special tools were required to get the links off.

Always appreciate someone providing background information, Thanks. :cheers:
