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 during the service. I blabbed about everything I learned on T4R about transmissions and fluid etc. Tech nodded a lot and asked about my service history (none known on trans) and towing/offroad time (5% since I bought at 62K).
The exchanged fluid was a deep dark maroon color and the tech was neither shocked nor impressed. "Not too bad", was his remark. "These 4Runner's are really tough."
Also, the service was performed with an exchange machine ported through the tranny cooler line located on the upper driver side of the radiator and the engine off.
Total fluid exchange with WS (12x$8.98qt. + $133.00 labor) $253.58 tax in.
Rumble gone.
