Thank you. I know the coolant level is fine. I have checked that. I guess I should also add, it only happens after it has time to cool down. Again, thank you!

Greetings, I have noticed over the past week that for a little bit after I start my runner, I get some white exhaust. It's never a huge cloud, but it is noticeable. I haven't been able to examine it too closely to determine if it is steam or smoke because it only occurs when I am accelerating...

211,### on my '99 4runner

Traylorr, I think that is the sunglasses holder. I had the same part missing from my Runner when I got it, and I found one on the classifieds. Also a picture makes things easier to identify

I didn't personally do anything, but I got a call from the shop and they said my rear diff was splattering gear oil along the underside of my runner. Ugh. :frusty:

It was not at start up, it was a mile down the road or so (90% down hill). It had only been sitting about thirteen hours.

This morning my 4runner let out a belch of white exhaust a minute or so after stopping. It only lasted a max of ten seconds then stopped. Nothing else seemed off. I have not seen my runner do this before, and had not happened since. I am taking it to the shop today to get it looked at since I...

I wish my runner got that good of gas mileage... I have only had 14.5 -> 17 ish since I got it. Now to troubleshoot why it is so low :redbrick:

mounted my transmission radiator tonight

I had a new Alpine stereo installed today. No more stock head unit! I even had to show the Car Toys tech the false slot for the clock cable when he couldn't find it haha

Thanks for the responses. I ended up getting an Alpine CDE-147BT from car toys. I like it so far.

I am looking to upgrade my stock head unit to something newer, preferably with iPod/android support. I've looked around but have seen mixed reviews or sites just don't have many that fit 4runners. I was writing if you had any suggestions, or just wanted to share what you are using and what you...

Washed and waxed the runner for the first time since I bought it :bluejump:

when it doesn't start, do you still get any power to the runner? I had an issue kinda similar to that, and the problem was only a loose connector on the battery

good plan, and yes, go cougs!
