After I took it to the dealer and they did their work, the issue never came back. Although I had my suspicions whether the master cylinder replacement was needed.. Chris' note above and other people I talked to had their doubts. The truck was under a 3rd party warranty at the time and perhaps...

Appreciate the write-ups, but to the original poster's comment (from way back when), has anyone had any luck getting these replaced under warranty? I took ownership of a new 2019 earlier this year. If it's rained, the window is dry, I put it down, and then bring it back up and it's wet. Now...

I drove around a bit after my first post, and the AM reception dropped off to near 0 once I left my driveway. So I must have been getting a lucky signal bounce getting reception with that lead disconnected. That's what got me back in there the next day.

Figure this out....some power, but not enough power to antenna amp I hooked up my old JVC radio and observed 11.5v going to the antenna amp The new Sony had 11.5v coming out of it to power remote devices, but at the lead to the antenna it was only 9.5v. That's on the other side of the PAC...

2005 4Runner SE / Non JBL I recently installed a Sony XAV-AV100 with a PAC Audio RP4.2-TY11 adapter, both from Crutchfield. Since installing, AM reception has been non-existent, and FM reception has been spotty. Reception for both was fine on the low-end JVC unit I replaced. I've been...

How'd it turn out? I'm in the same boat, but I also would like data. Most of the stuff on Amazon seems like junk. I'm concerned that putting in a shoddy part could damage the vehicle, my phone, or the radio I want to run the line to.

This thread even had the spec for the hardware. Thanks!

Heat shield above the muffler Thanks all the for the replies...it was nice enough and cool enough today to take a look at the vehicle, and the problem was apparent immediately - the heat shield directly above the muffler had come off one its supports Luckily it's the support toward the front...

2005 Sport V6 w/ about 185K Scenario: I'm at a stoplight, idling, foot on brake. I'm in drive. Everything's normal Maybe 10-15 seconds later, I'll suddenly hear a "bang bang bang bang bang"....about 5 bangs per second...until I start going again. I can hear it in the cabin...it's louder if...

K.C., Thanks for the insight - All that just makes me wonder if what my mechanic told me was just some combination of what ur7x wrote, and that just doesn't want to risk touching it all. I can't fault him for wanting to be cautious and forgo working on a system he's not familiar with. He...

Thanks, darkie3495. Yeah, I've seen that diagram a few times and I tried to print it out for my mechanic yesterday (but my printer failed). And the claim that it was tied into my braking system didn't make sense to me...if I blow a shock does that mean my brakes fail? Heh. I'm not sure...

2005 4Runner Sport w/113K miles. Bought it used in 2006 with 20K miles on it. Short question: Is the hydraulic line of the XREAS system tied into the brake master cylinder at all? After all the research I've done, I have not seen that to be the case. However, I have an indy mechanic who...

Follow-up. I bought a day's access at techinfo.toyota.com and looked at a lot of the repair manuals that dealt with the headliner and sunroofs. I'm still not sure what's going on...unless the rear drip channel is clogged. I'm not able to see the opening of it unless I take the whole headliner...

Yes - and I've wondered the same thing I know this is an old thread, but yes, mine is like that as well. It's like it's molded out of really thin plastic near the sunglasses case, and then the fabric is stretched at an angle off of there. I try to not look at it, quite frankly. If I had...

2005 4Runner Sport. I think it has an after-market sunroof, although as I bought the car used I'm not entirely sure. A manual for it came with the vehicle. It's been raining here, and I just noticed that the rear sear on the driver's side is wet. I looked up, and the felt/cloth "bolt" that...
