Some of us had a similar issue, but we heard it all the time. Lubing the driveshaft zerk fitting where it meets the tranny output shaft cured what I was hearing. There were many posts about similar issues here in the past. I'd suggest using the search function. You might find your cure.

I would think that it should be covered by a warranty. I don't think I should be charged at all. After all he should have checked everything when he performed the work the last time.
He has not told me how much he is going to charge me yet as he is still looking throught the paperwork, but I just wanted to ask other people's advice on the matter in order to be prepared. Shouldn't the freeze plugs be covered by his work?
Any technical advice is appreciated.

A couple of things. One, is 40PSI the correct pressure? Check inside your door. I have an SR5, and the recommended PSI is 32. Second, check your spare tire air pressure. This issue has been addressed in this forum quite a bit. If you have put air in all four and the light is still on, your spare tire needs the air! Hope this helps.

Be sure and check the spare if you haven't already

In all fairness to the technician they should have run a pressure test upon completion of of the head gasket work and a cooling system pressure test would have been taken to help isolate the original leak unless it was spewing all over + if the vehicle ran well for 4,000 miles after the repair chances are the head gasket repair was good. A 1994 called for the coolant to be changed at 30,000 mile intervals. If this were neglected the coolant will eat away at the cooling systems components and could have been the cause for the head gaskets failure as well as the freeze plugs. Toyota also specifies its red coolant for Toyota products. This is a non acidic and non silicate formula engineered specifically for their vehicles & use of the green coolant can hasten some failures even though they (Prestone/etc.) say they work in all vehicles. The shop should be willing to show you the hard copy the tech made notes off of (if they use such a system).

Thanks for the information. Although I was diligent in keeping my truck in good repair, I do not know what type of coolant they were using. Shouldn't my mechanic know what type of coolant to put in each time? Also, does this mean that I should pay another $1500 to repair the gasket again or should he carry some of the responsibility?

there was necessarily anything wrong with the repair, although it is possible for a faulty head gasket repair to take 4000 miles to reach the disastrous stage.
I was thinking more that as a goodwill thing, they would help you out on the cost of doing it again if there is no warranty. After all, it is a very expensive repair that is meant to last MUCH longer than 4000 miles.

I used to own a 1999 Toyota 4Runner 4WD Limited and had to replace the rotors every 5-10 miles... Anyone out there has experienced similar issues with the 2006 4Runner V8 4WD???

I have a 2005 V8 4WD with 24k miles. At my 15k service I had 90% left front and back. Most of my driving is freeway and I do tend to be easy on breaks. My Isuzu Rodeo went 150k before I insisted that we do the front pads.
