Sounds like you need a bearing kit for your rear diff. I had the same problem with my runner. I drove mine around for about 4 weeks with a growling noise coming from the rear end, the noise did progressively get worse and it got to the stage that I couldn't hear myself think. My mechanic went...

Just thought I'd post a pic I took the other day of mine with that first cable and where it is connected

Yeah sorry mate, I didn't mean to confuse you. I'm no mechanic either, I just married into a mechanics family :). But yes that is what I meant, in the oil pan.

I had exactly the same issue with my 22r about 12 months ago. It would start great when it was cold and take off as normal, but once it was at normal operating temperature it just died in the guts. I checked my oil levels and noticed the oil look milky, as though I had done a head gasket or...

I know it's not an American based website or contains much American 4WD info BUT..... this other forum that I am a member of contains a fair bit of info on places to go 4WDing in Australia with photo's and stories of where people have toured and generally just had a good time, what's more they...

My brother in law was the person that made the "relay circuit" for me so I'll ask him what he used. And yes he did bypass every security feature in the door, the only downside is I can't use the key to open the window from the hatch, only the switch on the center console, but that doesn't worry me.

That last one I believe is a security wire for the tailgate. The tailgate has a number of different security wires so that when the tailgate is open you can't open the window. Those particular wires I think should be connected to the "locks" that lock the tailgate into place when it's closed...

I'd be looking at where your getting your fuel from. Maybe the petrol is dirty from your local petrol station. I know a few mechanics who have to regularly clean injectors from their customers cars because the petrol they get from the local petrol station is dirty and contaminated.

Welcome to the club mate. Good to read another one of my own has joined the club.

Also make sure the back window works. a lot of the earlier 4Runners have the problem where the relays in the rear window module burn out making the rear window inoperable (the window will go up but won't come down and vise versa). Which means you will not be able to open the rear hatch. After...

G'day from NSW G'day everyone. I'm Ray, 31, and from BuffPoint: NSW Australia. I own a 1990 4Runner with a 2.4L 22R motor with no add ons as yet. I came across this forum while searching for dedicated 4Runner forums and realized it was the only decent one I could find so here I am. Will try and...

G'day everyone, I'm from Buff Point on the Scenic central coast of NSW. GO the blues. (sorry I had to put that one in).
