Thanks. Any idea what size bleeders the 4runner uses?

I'm afraid I still have a problem with my 2002 4R brakes. They feel soft. The pedal travels probably half-way down before you feel any affect. I've tried following the bleeding guide posted elsewhere here but I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong. With the engine off and someone pressing the...

It is associated with the ac. I just drove about 35 miles with no noise. Turn ac on and it comes back

Hiss may not be a good way to describe it. It is loud as you can hear it inside the cabin going 70mph. It almost sounds like something releasing pressure for a couple of seconds.

On my 2002 4runner, while drive down the road, I hear what sounds like a loud hiss sound that last for 2-3 seconds and goes away. It does this the whole time I'm driving. I thought after searching here that it was related to the brake system but it doesn't do it when braking. I was able to hear...

I need a replacement muffler for my 2002 4r and instead of going to one of the local muffler shops where they just cut the pipe and weld on a new cheap muffler I was thinking about ordering one online from a 3rd party that actually has the mounting connections and gaskets. My question is if...

Thanks. How are the tweeters mounted in the factory mount? Are they screwed in or have some type of bracket that holds them in?

Can anyone tell me if the sail mounted tweeters can be easily replaced with after market models and still use the factory sail cover? Thinking about a new set for front doors that has a cross-over unit. Thanks, Rut

I just purchased the switch from NAPA for about $22. I'll let you know if it works out ok. Rut

There is also the same switch at amazon: Amazon.com: Beck Arnley 201-1788 Back Up Lamp Switch: Automotive

I was able to get to the site but just tried it again and it timed out. Must be a server issue on their side. I also found this thread where some folks found a cheaper alternative to the switch listed in the above thread. They got it from Napa. Here is the thread link...

My daughter is out of town with her 2002 4runner and is having a problem with the 4 wheel drive indicator flashing. She has the auto type 4 wheel drive selector with the push button on the side. I asked her to try putting it into 4 wd and she said nothing happens with the light or the car...

Can anyone suggest a good online parts store for genuine parts at less than dealer prices?

Thanks. I'll double-check again for air before making adjustment. Can you tell me where I might find the service manual at a reasonable price?

Can't say for sure. I would guess around 15k-20k. I have bled the brakes during last installation.
