Well now that I have the title work done & my thread has been hijacked...

What does the dealer mean when he said I have an SR5V???

Probably SR5 V6. If so, trim level and engine.

Has the factory hood scoop, fog lights, moon/sunroof, power everything ...
Kind of thinking it's a SPORT???

"Sport" was an option package available on the SR5 trim. The exact details varied with model year. "Sport" seats are a standalone option too.

Change the front lower ball joints and also either change the radiator or bypass it with a external transmission cooler.

Is the SMOD a comon issue with these?

Strawberry Milkshake of Death. Normally called a Pink Milkshake on here. Transmission fluid and radiator fluid mixing.... normally the death of the transmission.

Just picked up a 3rd gen runner yesterday too! Time to do some research and digging.

Ah yeah! That's why I say to swap out the radiator at the minimum, but better yet...bypass it with an external cooler.

I too, am new with a 3rd gen 4Runner. I have some questions, and need some helpful advice. But I am not allowed to start a new post with a question. Not sure what the reason is for that......
Anybody know what the ABS codes are? I found online how to check them, but finding the meanings of the codes is not too easy....

You need a high level scan tool to read them. Normal bluedriver type plug ins only read check engine lights. Common 3rd Gen abs codes are for bad abs wheel speed sensors though.
