My 2000 T4r Highlander Edition

[95bb2]

Hey guys!
My name is Will and this is my 2000 Toyota 4runner Highlander edition.

This is my first 4runner, as a matter this is the only car I've owned except Honda's.

Anyways I did a lot of research before and after the purchase. So I knew the first thing I had to do was get a transmission cooler since I had no idea on when it was previously replaced. So I went ahead and bypassed the radiator transmission cooler completely. So being that I was kind of worried about the transmission overheating in stop and go traffic I got a ScangaugeII so I can monitor the vehicle at all times and keep an eye on the transmission temp. (I have some questions about this a little further down)
I plan to replace the radiator further down the road and run the cooler inline.
When I bought the car it had the terrible wobble that I had read about. The car just had the brakes done less than a year ago yet it was wobbling so I had the rotors turned and the pads replaced along with the two back tires. I'll be buying a set for the front in the next month or so.
I also scored a sweet deal on a Kenwood dnx6180 I think from work. $900 gps double din i scored for $120 and the car had a 4 channel JBL amp when I bought it, so this is great.

If anyone has any idea what the regular operating temperatures for the transmission oil on a car with a b&m 70268?


Here are some pictures:

For me, if I hop straight on the hwy it stays around 110-120. Stop and go city 160-180, mountain passes or slow offroad over 200

Congrats! The same year and model as mine. You will love it.

Welcome.

On the trans, as long as its below 180 its fine. Going up to 200 and above can happen in stop and go traffic and wheeling. But as long as normal driving is in the good range you are fine.

Thanks guys! So far it has been reading from 150-170 lately. Noting higher than that. Mostly in decent traffic no stop and go, and no highway yet. How accurate is the scangaugeII measuring mpg?

Those are good temps. The scangauge gets more accurate in MPGs as you log more fillups and it calibrates itself to your truck.

Oh okay, nice to know thank you. One last question if I add the A/F with xgauge what should the reading look like? I've tried to search but haven't got a definite answer. There is an air fuel ratio and a "true" air fuel ratio what is the difference?

Pre-Cat and Post-Cat o2 Sensor

Pre-Cat and Post-Cat o2 Sensor

which one should i be running/looking at? and what range should the numbers be??

14.7 is a good number

Your pre-cat sensor is "true" air/fuel (really just an approximation based on residual O2, it's all done from your ECM and current fuel mapping)
