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.

1999 4Runner Limited I want to install a satellite radio antenna on the roof (it's now sliding back and forth on front dash with mixed results). Basically, I need general advice on concealing a wire running from the dashboard to top back of the roof (at the top center of the rear door frame. 1. How can I send a wire up from the dash and under the post trim to the headliner? (I only know how to get the center dash apart -- does the post trim even come off?) 2. Can I use a fishtape to get from one end of the headliner to the other? Is there stuff that I could damage with a fishtape? Do I need to take the whole headliner down? 3. Anyone tried sneaking a satellite antenna wire out under the third brakelight gasket? (read about that "technique" on a Tacoma discussion group -- seems to me like trouble eventually) TIA

Replying to: nippononly (Jan 07, 2006 12:26 am) The 6 old plugs I removed were different brands (3 NGK and 3 DENSO). I know that Toyota often uses both in the factory and these are supposed to be replaced every 30K miles. Does this mean these are the original factory spark plugs? I purchased this car about 2-years ago (off-lease), so I assumed the normal maintenance schedule would have been followed. The plugs were well worn and my 4Runner (99K miles) appears to have more power now. I wonder if they had ever been replaced by the previous owner? I don't know what material the electrode is made of? Any ideas? Has anyone ever used platinum or iridium plugs in a 3.4L 4Runner? Drex |

if it's standard practice everywhere, but several dealers in my area have told me that all the plugs they sell for Toyotas are pre-gapped.

04 4Runner, limited, 4.7L V8. My 4Runner generates an annoying harmonic humming noise from the driveline at 70-75 MPH. Release the gas paddle or go faster will eliminate this noise. It started recently, after the master cylinder pressure sensor failed, which caused the trac lights on. The dealer has replaced the sensor and everything seems back to normal, except the humming noise. I notice 2 TSBs on the similar issues (humming noise). Just wondering if anyone who has similar issues and got it fixed. Thanks in advance.
