Hmm, I guess by you bringing up the rear axle leak that your problem may not have been transmission related?? If your symptoms were this: Place in gear and have to rev engine up then it makes a sharp noise like it broke loose and moves forward? Some times when you are moving slowly, and...

I am on the East side of the Big H..........Beaumont area.

Don't know what if any damage is done, but I bet it goes a for a long time!! If you still have to look for a engine or really any part, I have had good luck with "car-part.com". Good Luck to you and Happy New Year to all!!:gun5:

Throw us a bone here!!! What year is your rig...........auto trans? :girl:

Just dropped by and listened to your videos. The first sounded like the valve train and the second.....well its a tough call being intermittent and all. You can get your plugs from advanced or another part house, just make sure you get Denso or NGK Double ground plugs. If you look at the...

I came back to this thread at the end of page one and started to reply to warn you of the plugs and wires you had installed before. Glad to see Brian2Sun got on you pretty quick!!! Glad to hear you took his advice and got good results. A lot of time we like quick results but like he said if...

Sorry to hear all that.:bash: I revisited the mechanic and upon further talking there are soooo many parameters that have to be met for the puter to relearn. This if from memory which is the greatest so bear with me.........:wow2: Cold engine start, cannot idle for more then 3 minutes for...

Thanks for clearing that up for me! We don't have those type of inspections around here. Either way, that would not play into the engine throwing a rod.

Not a lot of info to go on, but will give it a try............... 1. "Little shifter" should most likely be in 4HI already. You don't have to move the " little shifter" to get in 4WD, you use it to change your transfer cases range low-neutral-high. If you want to change your range, stop...

I have never heard of any engine throwing a rod when first started. Under a load, running hard..........yep but not while first started. The OBD diagnostic port connection is used for diagnosis.....check engine lights, never heard it being used in the process of passing emissions test. Seems...

Mine is etched as well, all glass and on the frame behind the passenger front tire. Don't know about the fenders...and ain't checking.....LOL!! I like it. I knew it was a security feature offered at some new car dealers, but never heard of it being offered and charging for it at a used care...

I posted to a thread about the same problem including the solution. That problem has not returned since I put in my "fix". Gone a lot of miles and had a lot of driving with some freeze time in there and all is good. The "fix" is to bevel/chamfer the brake pads on the edges. It can be done on...

If your problem ONLY happened after a battery replacement, I would not think it was your transmission. I was talking to a ace mechanic about 4runners and one thing he brought up may be the solution to your problem. He said that when your 4runner is cold to remove the battery cables and let it...

They are all like that............at least my 98 is!!

I got a "deal", they were $760 for 4, mounted balanced and out the door. I need to check my pressures, but have had them on for about 3000 miles now. They performed great in ice and snow on a trip to CO and are quiet on the hwy. I'll be making a 500 mile roundtrip with them this weekend.
