    Misfire problem on 2004 V6

    I got a CEL indicating a misfire on cylinder 4. Can someone tell me which cylinder that is? Any suggestions on fixing this aside from checking the connections? Do these coil packs have a tendency to go (I have about 110k miles, and the plugs about 5k)?

    Ball Joints

    Is there any way to replace the ball joints and control arm bushings on an 04 4Runner without replacing the entire control arms? The upper and lower control arms are $800+/side from the dealer.

    The plate is a piece of thick blakck plastic, and I cut it out myself. I will get back to you on the model number. As far as mounting the plate, there was a bit of a lip around the area, so I just cut the piece to an exact fit and wedged it in. It has never been a problem.

    I had to cut out the back of the upper glovebox to make the DVD player fit. But there was plenty of room back there, and you don't see this from below or from the front..

    Tire Pressure Monitors are a PITA

    The reason balancing is necessary is that they say all the tires must be removed from the rims so that the monitors can be removed for reprogramming.

    Tire Pressure Monitors are a PITA

    I had a slow leak in one of my tires, and a tire store told me it was leaking from the valve stem. Because of the tire pressure sensor, I had to go to the dealer. So I dropped the offending wheel at the dealer, (they did not have the pressure monitor in stock, of course), and 24hrs later I get a...

    T4R emergency Lights at night . . .

    Too Many Blue Lights I know in NY state, you are only allowed to use ONE blue light. Alot of our guys ignore that rule, and I've never seen any of our guys getting hassled, but I'm sure it could happen. Don't you have the same law in NJ?

    Can the 4Runner be shifted on the fly???

    I have found that the T4R will not shift from 2WD to 4WD above about 45mph. I have tried this on the highway, where for example it starts to snow....and you have to slow down to get it into 4WD. It will shift from 4WD to 2WD at any speed, but you must lift off the gas.

    Thinking about getting 4runner, how hard to install video monitor on headrests?

    Check This Thread Good quality headrest w/monitors cost a fortune when compared to cutting into your existing headrests to install your own. I installed my own, and it was not that hard. As far as the "brain", you do need an audio/video controller. This is a seperate unit about the size of a...

    I didn't use the factory wireless stuff. I bought a pair of (Fahrenheit) dual channel wireless headphones that had their own transmitter. I really wanted the dual channel feature, and digital IR, so I didn't even bother trying to work with the factory set up. I installed the transmitter right...
