Is there a way to check fuel pressure without a scanner?

I had driven to the store a few weeks ago, and after running in to load up on beer, my 4Runner started, but the idle began to drop until it died completely. Now it won't start at all. My first thought was that I ran out of gas (I was really low but can usually eke out enough extra miles to keep...

I made the mistake of buying the TRD O-gasket from the dealer, and they charged me like $10 or something. Should I still use RTV gasket-maker with the TRD paper gasket, as I did with the 'yota D-metal gasket? Now, between the TRD springs on my front struts and this O-gasket, I can justify...

Thanks all for your advice. We also tried replacing the master cylinder and bled some more, thinking the piston may have a leak, but to no avail. The pedal still goes all the way to the floor before really beginning to engage, when driving and while on the lift. I'm going back to the garage...

I was finishing up my rear axle seal job today, and put new brake shoes on the rear while I was back there, and now I'm having an issue with the brakes. We bled both the rear brakes multiple times after reassembling everything. Master cylinder never went dry. I had normal pedal travel and...

Got my driver side rear axle out, replaced inner oil seal, getting new bearings/retainers/abs ring pressed on. Oh, and used about 3 cans of brake cleaner and an entire roll of blue shop towels wiping clean all the funky and gunky gear oil that had leaked over EVERYTHING. Tomorrow's to-do list...

I should mention, I will occasionally get rubbing on the right front if fully turned and flexed. I'm running 275/75/16 Cooper ATP's, but an old stock suspension (no lift), which is next on my list of upgrades.

I'm running 1.25" Spidertrax spacers on just my front 2 wheels. I originally only planned on running them temporarily until I bought new wheels that would fit over the big Tundra calipers, but after having them on for a while, I've found I like the look and the ride. Because I do a lot of quick...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm about to undergo this job on my '96, driver side only. Dealer quoted me $383.50 for the parts (coming straight out of my new suspension fund) and I go to pick them up today. Price seems a bit higher than the OP stated... In any case, I'm saving oodles...
