I had the same problem on my 08 SR5. The dealer changed the control unit under warranty and it solved it.

:happens: So I bought a 08 SR5 Runner from a dealership in NY, flew my dad in to pick it up for me and he drove it home to Halifax (roughly 1000 Miles, nice guy). Only one problem, the dealership had the 4WD engaged in 4HI before my father took it. He never noticed it because he's been driving...

Like a lot of people here, I had the same problem and concerns about this. I have a 08 SR5 4x4 V6. During my last oil change in October I asked them to grease the drive shaft up pretty good. It kept on doing it for a few days and then nothing since. I'm happy...

oh yes....V6...I got to figure out how to add that to the bottom of the posts!!

Got our first real hit of snow today in Nova Scotia...time to take the show on the road!! Drove around when everybody else was staying in...I have to say I was quite impressed with a few things: 1) The overall stability of the truck is superb in snow. It's heavy but it's the weigh seems to be...

Hello, I'll just file this one into the "no idea what he's doing" list....many more of those to follow. I'm looking to get a class 3 hitch for my 08 runner. I've looked under the chassis and it has an electrical outlet. Does that mean that there was a hitch installed prior? Or do they all come...

Yes, yes...that was me who posted the same problem a few weeks ago. I have a 2008 with 18K and i'm positive it's the same issue as yours. Someone mentioned the drive shaft needs to be greased, and that they do it at the dealership when you get an oil change. Since my vehicle was a prior...

NJRunner...seems like we have the same problem. Just a slight pop after break release... RiverWolf...thanks for the tip. I'll definitely go get my next service at the dealership and see how the driveshaft lube affects it. You now got me thinking about the Hill Start Assist....I was stop on a...

Hello everyone. Newbie here...just bought a "new to me" 2008 4Runner SR5...slight problem with my brakes (or at least I think it's the brakes). This is the situation: When I brake hard and even sometimes brake normally to a dead stop...as soon as I get started again I the sensation that the...
