Mine was repaired (twice) by David Ruberg : Speedometer Repair Guy Originally back in 2014. He had good feedback on sites like this one. It was repaired successfully, and returned quickly Lasted almost 10-years, but failed again. The repair had a "Lifetime" warranty, so I reached out. He...

Even knowing you succeeded, when I saw the washer push 1/2" deeper, my gut reaction was "@#$%"!. Glad it worked!

I'm shocked by your numbers. Regarding my 2001: - I have many many very long trips on my T4R - I get about 19 mpg highway, under most conditions. I have -never- seen anywhere close to 27 mpg, or even 21 mpg. - I get about 17 mpg around town, under most conditions. - I haven't seen much...

Wow! Mine is very much like yours was (probably worse). You've given me great motivation to give it a try. Thanks!

This post has a comparison of the TBU pads: Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum - View Single Post - Hard to find Specs, Info & Measurements on 231mm 13WL Tundra Calipers & Rotors That is toward the end of the much longer topic of the 13WE and 13WL TBU comparison: Hard to find Specs...

I was going to echo Charlie. Have you owned your 4Runner since new? If not, there is a good possibility a previous owner installed a Tundra brake upgrade (TBU). It is a popular modification of which there are 2 flavors.

It is one cable that goes from the actuator (in the passenger footwell), behind the console to the driver footwell, where it routes up to the top of the firewall and into the engine bay, to the HCV.

Circled in green in the picture above. It's only partially visible, behind the wire bundle.

I first did the S13WE (199) TBU 15 years ago. Then did the 13WL (231) TBU 3 years ago. (BTW, stick with the 199) I am still running the original master cylinder. No issues, AFAIK.

You can contact him directly. His full contact was included 5 posts ago, in post #161 https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3851938-post161.html

Were those manual pages sufficient? Did the procedure work? Was it consistent with pre-2000 procedure? Just wondering how it worked out for you. And, feedback for the next person in the same spot.

OK, I think maybe I got something for you. First, I asked ChatGPT :) Well, it regurgitated what you already found, except it mixed up where the OBD port was on the various model years. So, I asked it to clarify. It was very impressed with, and appreciative of, my correction :) Then it...

The OME 906 come as left-side and right-side to compensate for the gas tank. Just confirming you installed the correct one on the correct side??

Thanks for the suggestions. Agreed, could probably be inner tie rod end. I'll pull the boot back and check it.

I've been chasing down a "new" clunk in my steering. The air-quotes are because I had previously done the collapsible column tack welds. Turns out, my tack welds were too small, and broke. So my "new" clunk was just a return of the old clunk... I hope. Anyway, in the process, I found that my...
