My 1997 Limited V6 gave me the pink milkshake last summer which I caught immediately and replaced radiator and all fluids. Put a new Carquest radiator in with standard Penzoil coolant at that time 12k ago. All has been fine the past 12 months, truck always has and still runs normal operating...

Hey there, sure thing. I hope it works for you. I'm at 266K and still no issues with this. Here's what I got: HERCOO A340E A340F A343 Transmission Shift Solenoid + Lock Up/TCC Solenoid with Filter Gasket Kit Compatible with 1996-1999 Toyota 4Runner, 1996-1997 Lexus LX450 Amazon.com: HERCOO...

Well this was one of the easiest and quickest fixes ever for me. One question- on the bypass loop that hose is just long enough to make it like you said, but if you look in the pic I took it is kinked pretty bad and probably not allowing full flow, maybe none at all. Does this matter? Seems...

Thanks! I guess looping A to B like I've seen in other pics is just a way of keeping crap from getting into open/unused lines.

Good call... thanks guys for the tips. Will report back...

I'm going to do this bypass soon, these lines are about toast on my '97. I want to make absolute sure I'm doing the bypass correctly, could somebody check me on my attached picture? The process is loop A to B, then loop C to D, correct? I might just cut the lines under the rear heater where...

Left my lights on and killed my battery. After jumping the battery I noticed my radio/antenna was dead but cigarette lighter worked as did everything else. My radio is a basic aftermarket Pioneer, no amp or anything fancy - it was already in the truck when I acquired it. All fuses, including...

Like Kanoe said, I wouldn't hesitate at all to buy a 4x2 Runner to drive around town and do stuff in, as long as I knew I would never NEED 4WD for any reason. and 80k miles is crazy low miles if you could get it for 3500 - 3800 bucks. I'd just get it to drive to work at that price and mileage...

Depends on what you want it for. If I didn't hunt and didn't occasionally go on soupy dirt roads a 4x2 Runner would serve me just fine here in VA, but we only get snow/ice occasionally in central VA... I see you are in Ohio. If I lived in an area that got decent snow 3-4 months a year I...

They also have a 2001 SR5 4x4 V6 with 160X,XXX with no issues supposedly in good shape and current. I'm thinking that they might take a bundle offer for both. Get both, fix up the low miles 2000, sell one. This could get fun. Currently waiting on a large local used parts yard to give me a...

I like the way you're talking.... kill the value as in how much? I know if there were no issues this Runner would be worth 5-6K (at least) on the market here private sale. ABS and tranny issues... what you thinking if it was clean body, no rust, decent tires, etc? $2k or even less?

Hello all, I have a LEAD on a local 2000 SR5 4x4 V6, with 130X,XXX that the owner wants to sell, I know their family so I generally will trust what they say. Obviously, the low miles is really attractive here. I haven't seen the car yet, only know what they told me so far, and they haven't...

Update Almost 2k miles since I did this job and still running fine. Now on to a starter that is beginning to go bad... and soon will be replacing a cracked valve cover that JB Weld didn't hold...

Well 2 days and about 100 miles later and all seems well. I hope this situation is resolved... I had never done any tranny work before this except a simple drain and fill series after a new radiator install over the summer. It isn't that tough of a job even for a relative novice... just need...

Thanks... I was hoping mine was a random code too but it came back in no time.
