Yes, the O2 sensor not the upstream A/F sensor. Good advice, jvtbt. Think I'll get the leak down gauge.

Sorry, got distracted by my daughter's Hyundai. Asylvester: 400-500K, huh? That sounds awesome. Second opinion sounds logical. 4R-4ever: Little to no oil consumption. bSuppose I could remove the tensioner cover and see how far out it is? Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the reply, Mike. What would one be looking for on the cylinder walls? Confirmation of the poor leak test, i.e., rings are bad? Would I be scratching my head harder if the walls look good? Ha ha!

My 2004 SR5 has never had a valve job, timing chain or rings replaced AS FAR AS I KNOW. I bought her at 140K, 320K now. Have been chasing and "solving" lean bank 1 then lean bank 2 then lean bank1 for a couple of months now. By solving I mean replacing the cats, servicing the injectors, then...

No caliper clearance issues. But mine is an SR5.

Better picture Here's a picture. Too bulbous?

The installer was kind enough to mount a new 265/65 tire on the 17x7 rims and put it on the front of Runner. No clearance issues. I decided to go ahead and mount all on the 17x7 rims. It doesn't look bad but I do wonder about unusual tread wear or sidewall stress or quick emergency turns. So far...

2004 SR5 V6. Ran across some newer 17x7 +15mm OEM wheels and bought em. My current OEM's are 17x7-1/2 +30MM. Like a dummy I ordered the same tire size I've had forever, 265/65R17 Michelin LTX's, BEFORE I found out that new wheels were 7" width. Will 265/65R17's fit the 17X7 wheels OK? Do I...

Thanks! Thanks, michaelreed! very helpful and well documented. You, too, Supersonic for those torque values. You both helped me do this job.

Thank you so much for this. Replaced my 04 with a 'brand new' 05 driver's seat. Took me about 2 hours jus because I was trying to be super careful. Hardest part was replacing the seat belt receptacle on the 04 harness. Tore up the housing a little bit getting it open. My original receptacle's...

So, keakar, what was your total expense? $1,200 in parts? and $700 labor? Does you mechanic want to do another?

04 SR5 with 137k miles, 2WD, V6 = $8K. BUT I had to replace a catalytic converter immediately after purchase this July :( But I love her!!! My 02 got totaled in a 10 car pile up in H-Town.
