My A/C was working intermittently so I replaced the compressor, expansion valve and the pressure switch. The compressor stopped working before I charged the 2nd can of R134.

1.4 oz of oil for a compressor sounds really low. I was reading about 4 oz of oil in my research but I'm still looking to see what the factory owners manual says.

I didn't crimp down hard enough when I rebooted my cv axle and I'm seeing grease leaking out from the outbound side. I'm thinking of cutting off the large outer (closest to wheel) cv clamp, repacking with grease and re-crimping. The OEM clamps don't open all the way, so does anyone know if...

My 4Runner A/C is not keeping up with the Florida heat. Yesterday at 94F I could not get the A/C to blow below 80F even after re-charging it with 2 full 12oz cans of R134a refrigerant. I likely even overcharged this as a couple of weeks ago I added one full 12oz can. This evening the outside...

mikehinthehouse - I'm having similar issues. I burned through several Advanced Auto brakes and rotors about every 30K. I usually change once the wobble from the warped rotors gets annoying. After listening to Scottie Kilmer I purchased Centric Premium Rotors and Akebono pads. After 26K I...

Yes, my research shows that OEM for the the 2000 3rd Gen is Koyo. Thanks for the tip about Partsouq. With shipping they come out to the same price as Amazon roughly $80 a bearing. The ebay stores are selling them for about $50 shipped from Japan. I was hoping to save some money without...

Napa Crankshaft seal Excellent suggestion! I'm experiencing the same problem and noticed the crankshaft seal went on very easy although the old seal (likely the original from 2000) was very tight. I even broke a couple of Lisle hooks on the old seal and ended up using the paint can opener...

Did you ever figure out the cause of the major oil leak after changing your timing belt and seals? I'm going through this issue now.
