100K in 3yrs 244K. I bought it a little over 3 years ago with 140K miles. I believe I am the 3rd owner.

Tax refund It is going straight to the wife's account =(

Hilux and 4Runner I chose a 3rd gen 4Runner because of my love for the Toyota Hilux. They are not the same cars but they share the good looks, interior layout (5th & 6th Gen) and legendary reliability. Between 1995 to 2009, I worked for various mineral exploration companies in Asia and we had...

AF Ratio sensor Changed out the AF Ratio Sensor and cleared the CEL (P1135 code)

AF Ratio Sensor The AF Ratio Sensor I ordered arrived this afternoon. It only took me a little over 15 minutes to change it out ( I took my time). I disconnected the negative battery terminal and pulled out the EFI fuse before I started. The codes were cleared when I was done and reconnected...

I am interested in this as well as my truck threw the code this morning and I need to use it until I can get the replacement part (Wednesday). I drive at least 120 miles a day going to and coming from work.

Hesitation PCV valve?

Oh ok, that is comforting to know. So I take it, the drive shaft never needs to be greased?

Same experience My truck, an '01 2WD Limited did that too, loses power, misfires or hesitates under acceleration, especially going uphill (60mph and around 2000rpm). Very annoying. Threw some codes last week (P0300, P0303 and P0442) Changed the spark plugs, spark plug wires and the PCV valve...

No zerk fittings My '01 2WD Limited 4runner's drive shaft joints have no fittings, how am I supposed to grease it? Is it normal?

Did it! Been battling misfiring cylinders and loss of power for some time now. Engine would lose power and seemed to hesitate around 2000 RPM, mostly while going up hill but also while trying to accelerate. The truck threw a code last Monday (CEL, VSC Trac, Trac Off light came on) while I was...

Kill switch Interested here too. Would really appreciate it if you could pm me the how to's

New tires Bought a set of 4 new Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus from Discount Tire. They did not have Roadforce balancing but the guy who spin balanced my tires must know what he's doing as I did not notice any vibration during my test drive. Took it up to 80mph and it was smooth as glass...

I am also interested here. I sometimes feel the truck sort of "shudder" or "hesitate", usually when going up an incline and with the engine running at or slightly below 2000 RPM. It sorta feels like the tranny can't decide on what gear to use (maintain current gear or downshift). I have had...
