Both of mine recently went out with a terrible noise. Thank goodness it was just the splash guards. I like the DIY ideas on here and your suggestion of bolts/washers makes much more sense than the plastic clips that I was just about to buy. I haven't seen you in a while. I need to hit up...

+1 for CVJ I'm just over a year on my CVJ axles and they are still serving me well. I'm lucky I'm in Denver and didn't have to ship them. Good product. Good people.

Mine also... Thanks guys. I know my battery needs replacing. The wiper issue is recent and had me concerned. I'm no longer concerned. Once I swap out the battery I'll be good to go. Thank You T4R!!!!

Picked mine up today. I did my research and decided that CVJ is the way to go. This is what they look like with the optional red boot. Giddyup. :cowboy:

Howdy all, I'm injured and unable to do the work I want to do on my 4Runner. I did what I could already but heavy / high torque is not going to happen for me right now. I'm looking for someone local that knows what they are doing with a 4Runner. My inner CV boots are leaking. Driver side is...

Update: Everything is running well. I had a few weeks of city and country driving to see how its doing. I went ahead and got a set of plugs online using a discount code I found on this forum. :whoo: The plugs I removed looked relatively new. They were NGK g-power and my replacement set were...

That code is working for me and it allows me to select local pickup. Great post. Thanks, Steve

Thanks to both of you. There's 152xxx miles on it. I don't know the age of the plugs or coils. After the MAF was cleaned I was getting poor mileage as the ECU was learning. I kept driving and now its getting the great mpg. Maybe I am reading too deep into the vibration at 1500rpm and the...

Cleaning the MAF seemed to increase MPG but I'm still having a rough spot at 1500 rpm. There are NO codes reported in the ecu. NO error lights on the dash. The test report from OBD shows "misfires". Any idea what problem I'm chasing? MID:$30 TID:$0c Misfire counts for last/current driving...

I kept reading posts how people ordered the CRC spray on Amazon. I was expecting an expensive, hard to find product. Its in stock at the local autozone for 8 bucks. This will get done today. Update later. Thanks for the help.

Thanks. If the weather and driving conditions don't cause me to go into 4LO and CDL then I'll do it as a monthly routine.

Thanks. The O2 Sensor passed the test and graph for it looks normal. Based on other posts it sounds like the MAF could be the problem. When I changed the air filter it was filthy. There's a good chance there's some crud that got through to the MAF. I'm going to try to clean the MAF today. I...

Is a V8 with full-time 4WD exempt from the monthly routine? Or should V8's drop into 4Lo once, monthly?

Howdy, I saved up my first post to be an engine question. Thanks to this forum I've fixed the center console lights and a few other things. But my first post is a question. I recently purchased a 2006 V8 Limited. Out of the gate I was getting terrible mileage. I was new to the car so I...
