Replying to: rschwarz (Sep 08, 2005 5:36 am) Second, since these three belts have to be removed to replace the timing belt, then should the dealer charge me any extra labor for just putting on the new belts (instead of the old ones). What has been your experience? Drex

Replying to: blasky (Nov 10, 2005 2:06 pm) I've had the same problem in my '03 4Runner and most of the noise occurs when my sunshade is closed. When it is open, I don't hear any chatter at all. What did the dealer say or do when you took it to him? Drex |

How often should I be changing the spark plugs and wires on my 1999 4Runner, 6-cyl, 3.4L? Any recommendations on which type/brand spark plugs to use? Thx. Drex

Replying to: aurn (Oct 11, 2005 9:53 pm) I have a 2005 4runner sport V6 4x4. I have been having many issues with this vehicle, one of which is the shimmy on the highway at around 60mph. If you look up the service bulletins on the vehicle, you'll see that there's a bulletin for the steering column on this vehicle where there's a defective part on certain models that causes this issue. There are many other issues with the wheels, pressure sensors, and suspension. I am currently going back and forth with Toyota over several issues. Ours has issues when turning right, the front wheels slide, and the slippery road indicator comes on. My wife has just found this posting board, and there are many with similar issues on their 4runners. |

Replying to: rocksolidtubes (Dec 31, 2005 8:34 pm) The original transfer case WAS shot because the motor that engages 4WD was burned out (and that motor is not available as a single part -- ugh). According to Toyota the ADD switch was shorting and is what somehow ultimately burned out the transfer case motor. Toyota Corporate advised my dealer to NOT drive the car with the flashing indicator until fixed because the motor in the new transfer case could burn out too. Toyota was very good about it, and I suppose at worst I now have an "average" overall service record given that this was the only repair in 6 years. Hope that helps -- |

Replying to: drex1 (Jan 03, 2006 8:23 pm) I always just use the Toyota plugs (ND's) because if you buy them from the dealer they are pre-gapped. And because that is what the truck came with. Needless to say you can save some money OR buy potentially better plugs at the auto parts store. That is a personal preference thing.

Replying to: grahmm (Jan 06, 2006 9:03 pm) Anyway, I always buy from the dealer for that. Had one too many experiences of opening the parts store plugs and discovering they had been returned by someone else and were covered in grease from the last purchaser.
