Okay so basically the fact that it turned on then a few miles later (relatively speaking) it turned off doesn't really indicate much....could easily still be one of the 8-10 things that code will throw on. Thanks for the info, guess ill start trouble shooting and look into the OBDII combo you...

2000 Limited automatic with about 170k About 2 - 3 weeks ago I suddenly receive a Check Engine light. The 4Runner had been running great for a while so this came out of the blue. Took it to Auto parts store, OBD shows P0171 too Lean code. I remove MAF and Throttle body, clean them both out...

Do you mean the rear seals leaking or something in the drum system leaking? I had no brake fluid leak (that I was aware of) prior to redoing the drums. As for the rear seals, when I took them to the dealership, the tech appeared to know exactly what I was talking about in reference to the...

Naa i removed the axles myself and brought them into the dealership so I feel pretty confident it's not the driveshaft (knock on wood). Correct, I did NOT have the drums turned though its looking like i probably should have. I also did not torque spec any of the parts :redface: I will go...

Thanks for the suggestion. I for sure won't discount the driveshaft, BUT once again it didn't occur at all during the initial drive home and only began once I changed the brakes and rear seals, which is why I'm so focused on it being related to those. I also changed all 3 diff fluids (front...

Okay quick background...I bought a 2000 4Runner Limited about 3-4 weeks ago from someone roughly 4 hours away driving time. Brakes felt weak but the drive home was fine (highway speeds mostly). Got the car home and did the large Tundra upgrade on front replacing all rotors/pads/calipers...

Nice and clean, I like it!

WOw yea thats a beautiful truck. Very clean inside and out.

Congratz...i guess...

I used 80w90 Valvoline on the rear of my 3rd gen and Mobil 1 synthetic 75w90 on the transfer case and front diff. Seemed to work out just fine. I would suggest PB Blasting all the drain and fill plugs asap and let them sit overnight or longer before attempting to remove them. I stripped the...

Ehh most of those articles aren't very entertaining...

Ive spent probably close to $1500 since i bought mine within the last few weeks...and thats just on maintenance parts :cry:

Ive always liked the coke bottle rims personally...and in black they look even better. Nice looking truck

One really awesome thing about 4Runner owners is that there is such a plethora of information regarding repairs and mods out there. I recently replaced my front rotors/pads/calipers (Tundra upgrade) and rear shoes as well as both rear seals, AND replace front/rear/transfer differential...

Was looking for a used 4runner several weeks back and automatically closed out any ads where the tranny and radiator had both been serviced or replaced as part of the description. I may have passed on a good truck but just not worth it to me personally.
