    *** V6 Head Gasket Action Request ***

    According to my mechanic, the problem shows up between 160-220k miles. Mine happened at 193k and it cost 1900.00 to fix it, but that was a steal. Don't brag too loudly, your day is coming if you keep it long enough. Mine is a 2003. The issue was fixed in 2006 so anything built after that...

    It hasn't sold. It's listed on the Chicago craiglist. She responded to me after two attempts to reach her via craigslist. I asked if there was undercarriage rust and she replied there was minor rust.

    Definitely a rare find. It's 2k over Nada, but it's probably worth it.

    2006 Toyota 4Runner Utility 4D Sport 4WD Prices, Values & Specs - NADAguides I would give you full retail nada book and bring cash. Since it's in Chicago, I would drive up and trailer it back provided there is no rust in the undercarriage. But for 24k, I can buy a much new model with the same...

    *** V6 Head Gasket Action Request ***

    I meant that when you have a head gasket issue, that the coolant level will change and you have to add coolant every few weeks. Of course, leaking coolant is a symptom of a radiator leak. But coolant, running rough, and a check engine light indicates that you may have a head gasket problem.

    Loss of coolant is another symptom. If your coolant level keeps going low, then it is getting into the cylinder.

    Poll original head gaskets or replaced

    You will first notice coolant leak. My heat was blowing cold air when sitting still, but when I would pull out, the heat would be normal. This is indicative of low coolant. I checked it and had to add coolant to the overflow tank. Two weeks later, I checked the coolant and it was low again...

    The 4th gen TRD PRO wheel picture thread

    I put wheels and tires on my Tundra about a year ago and didn't want to transfer the original TPMS sensors in case I wanted to remove the new wheels and put the originals back on. I researched the correct part number and got a set of 4 off ebay for 55.00. I took those to Discount Tire where...

    So I took the 4runner in for the infamous dash pad replacement and the dealer did an awesome job of replacing the dash, looks awesome. I only had a small crack to begin with but took advantage of the recall. However, after getting the 4runner back, the camera no longer worked. I took it apart...
