Guys thanks so much for all the help. Took the Runner to VIP/O'Reilys tonight. Battery tested "Bad Battery" Alternator also tested "Bad Voltage regulator" Guy there told me that since the alternator had a "bad voltage regulator code" it probably fried a cell in the new AGM battery, makes...

Thanks Im familiar with where the Battery cables meet the battery at the battery terminal, where do they go from there and what do they connect to?

intersting, as VIPs/Oriely auto part's computer specifically spit out his Battery as one that would work. any more info on the MOD?

Thanks for the response. I made sure that there wasn't any corrosion on the + and - terminals as well as confirmed they were on snug. I will double check that again tomorrow. I will also have the place that sold me the battery test the alternator. any thing else it could be?

So my wife's 2015 4Runner Trail Edition had a dead battery the other day (Date on Battery is 2/2018 (Toyota Factory Battery). So i go out to jump it (Just figuring my son or I didn't shut the door all the way or we a left a light on...do big deal right?) I jump the Runner from my Taco and dive...

I’m wondering if someone could look at this alignment print out that I recently had done from Sullivan tire. I noticed that in order to keep the vehicle straight I need to have the steering wheel turn slightly to the left. Wondering if all I need to do is have them correct the steering wheel via...

In case anyone wanted to see the taco:

Sorry I forgot to add the pics in the first post!

edit, i found plugs in the maintenance guide to be changed at 120K....but nothing about DIFFs and trans fluid changes..i am definitely going to change the front/rear diff and transfer case fluid (what should i use for that) should i even bother changing the transmission fluid at 45K? if not...

Hello all! i have 45K on my wife's Runner(2015 Trail Premium) and I'm tackling some of the larger maintenance items. I have always rotated the tires, and changed oil and filters every 5K since the truck was new. I recently replaced the tires and Brake pads/rotors, as well as cabin filter and...

Thanks for the response… For a partially seized caliper… I’m hoping that I fixed the problem by compressing the pistons in order to get the old pads out ....Time will tell I guess

The rear pads were completely even on both sides… The slide pins and boots were in proper working order… Any specific grease I should use on the rear brake caliper slide pins? I thought I read something about a specific type of grease that won’t react with the rubber boot? The front caliper is...

Sorry, I should have specified the pads that I am referencing to wearing unevenly are in the front…

What would cause one pad to wear faster than the other?
