Thanks everyone, It's all over now. In the end I did nothing and left it as is, malfunctioning. I also kept my mouth shut, and they didn't ask. They had to reappraise it from scratch, and didn't notice it so, that's on them. Buyer beware just like my purchase from the dealer was. I am now...

The seat gets super hot with the heater switched off or on within a few minutes. This will be noticed when they test drive it, and they will drive it. Yes, this is exactly what I want to do, disconnect the heater under the seat, but I can't figure out which plug it is, if it is even possible to...

Thanks for the ideas everyone. The truck has already been appraised online. They have to check it in person when I physically take it in today. If this gets noticed I will lose my trade in value, which is at break even, and very important to me. Is this shady? yes it is. Dealerships are shady...

This is an option, but I have not looked yet. I don't want the switch to not work, I need it to light up like normal. I just don't want the seat to get hot. Let the dealer ship I trade it into deal with the recall if there even is one.... Just super bad timing for me! Trading this baby in in...

Hello gang, I need help real fast. 2 days ago my drivers seat got REAL hot and A burning electrical smell started. My seat stays on with switch off and gets VERY hot now anytime I start the truck. Today I am trading the truck in for another one. I need to know how to unplug the heater under...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Some things to note. I am a retired mechanic. There is not, and never has been, any mechanical/maintenance issues with these trucks brake systems. Nothing sticking, dragging, etc. I drive with authority, not like a lazy Sunday driver, or old person, but not...

So I have a 98 4Runner with just under 300k miles. Lifted with Tundra front struts and OME 2" rear springs. No armor, steel bumpers, racks, skids, sliders, or any other weight adding stuff. 285/75/16 E mud tires. This truck has warped over 6 sets of front brake rotors since I bought it about 6...

Thanks for all the other ideas everyone. Air filter is like new. Tires are at about 34 or 35, forgot what i set them at, but it was 2-3 above the door rating, still chilly here in the morning, keeps idiot light at bay from the temp pressure change. The fluids are good, just bought it from a...

Thanks. That is good stuff, I wish I was seeing that much mpg. Something is hella wrong with my rig lol. Going to start with plugs and go from there I guess.

Yea, that's way more then I am seeing. Time to get some plugs in there and hope that's it. Otherwise this is going to get annoying and expensive I fear :censored:

I have not gotten that hardcore, but good to know some are very close. Thanks.

Thank you much. Math shows the meter is a bit optimistic yes, lol. about 1-1.5 mpg mine seems. Math shows 12.5 mpg give or take each tank of fuel. I have NEVER seen 17+ on my meter except as it passes by after a fill up and reset. Just phone GPS, no real landmark to measure with. Have tried...

Thanks, this is what I have heard. I am almost at 11 mpg stock lol....... something is off. Math shows about 12.5 mpg.

Math says the meter is slightly optimistic lol. I am getting around 12.5mpg. I reset the mpg meter each fill up to compare. Never seen 17+ mpg on the meter unless i coast after fill up lol. Can end of life spark plugs really cause a loss of 5 mpg? They seem to be due at 120k miles. I am at...

I tried every way I can think to search for bad mpg, low mpg, fuel mileage etc. Zero results. Stock 2011 Limited, stock narrow Bridgestone tires. 97k miles. Just replaced front left wheel bearing/hub, slight improvement now. Is the on board mpg readout fairly accurate? I am struggling to...
