Couple of questions

[jay1981]

Hi, im new to this site and just recently bought a 2000 4runner limited at a dealer. I have the owners manual but not the maintenance schedule booklet or the owners manual supplement booklet. Any ideas where to get these?

Also it only came with one key. The book says only the dealer can make a new one but you have to have the tag with the code on it which I dont have. My local hardware store says they can make one and they dont need the code. I guess they have a machine to read it or something. Anyone know if that would work or could it mess up the security system?

also I saw an ad on here for a Gforce performance chip that says it improves horsepower and gas mileage. anyone try it? does it work?

thanks for any input

:vader:Hold on are you talking about a key for the door and engine or you talking the alarm remote. If your talking about the key I got 4 made at homedepot and they unlock everything. Sounds like its another way for the dealer to bend your :moon: over. hope that helps

the key for the door/engine. tried home depot, they said they couldnt make one since it has the chip in it. I did get a regular spare that will open only the doors but im looking to get a spare ignition key.

sorry minds a 1998 yah i think it start in 1999 or 2000 they do have chips in them you can buy the key off ebay which comes with instructions on how to program it. LOOk up spare key other people talkabout it. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/15117-spare-key.html link here might give you a hand

Also try ebay for the book

I have that book think it stops at 120k anyways might not worth buying

Ok, got a spare key made. I deliver oil for a living and happened to be at a Toyota dealer yesterday. The guys in the parts dept hooked me up with a key at their cost ($34) and one of the mechanics offered to program it for me for free.
