Trans rumble strip issue started at 95Kish. I read and researched and priced and took truck in at 99560 miles. After two unrelated bad experiences at different northeastern Illinios Toyota dealers I ended up at a Toyota dealer in Bradley IL. They let me stay with my ride on the shop floor...

Is the shifter in "park"?

I agree: Bent axle shaft = wobbly wheel. Bent differential housing = deflected wheel with no wobble. Visually, wheel toed in/out or camber not at 0. Neither are good. Bent axle shaft way cheaper to fix.

We flew in for our son's ceremony in 2004. Is was a moving experience for us and the graduate too. It will be fun for you guys. Unfortunately, for a T4R driver, I can only comment on convenient local restaurants for Mexican food. Taqueria Arandis, on W. Military Drive and Westoak St. looks like...

Suspension - Toyota 4Runner Forum

This is the 3rd or 4th post I've seen about that front right turn signal. Mine also intermittently failed causing the fast blink, and also killed bulbs rather quickly. Look inside the actual socket and see if it looks unusually worn out around the pins -- mine did, so I replaced that socket (I...

06 Sport V6 1" leveling front 255/75/17 D695 Duellers If I never drive over 60MPH and try to baby it at all times I get a solid 19.8 compensated and calculated per tank of regular. I do this all week back and forth to work. If I drive like I want to on-road I'm at about 17ish. If I'm off...

Do NOT try to do this yourself and make sure you get a warranty on the whole repair. It doesnt sound like a leak in the core though. Agreed. A leak = uniformly warm air every where. R & R HVAC box = nightmare.

A750F question - Toyota 120 Platforms Forum

I don't know what normal is for a 4R but mine whines in LO range too. I spent a lot of time in LO buzzing around in deep snow during our blizzard in Chicago lately with no ill effects. I do know that under drive (LO) always makes more noise than direct drive. As long as it sounds smooth...

I've got a 1" Toytec which is a half inch thick spacer. I like it. Plus some 255/75R17 D695's. Will calculate MPG from my recent trip when I run out this tank and post results. 16.75MPG hand calculated. Includes about 500 freeway miles, 200 snowy county road miles, 100 gravel/heavy snow and...

The Toyota heater for the 4.0 V6 warms the coolant but you don't have to breach the water jacket (no leaks, easy install). It fits into a machined cavity in the block at the left rear above the exhaust pipe. Canadian P/N: PU140-00900 I had to buy mine from a Canadian Dealership in Windsor...

How come some 4R's have pink taillights?

My 06 SE V6 has heated leather int. No tags or labels. The heated seat button is a mini rocker type of switch located right near the seat position controls rather than set at the back end of the center console by the DAC switch. I've read that this is an add-on dealer option but I don't know...
