| This is the first time I have posted any questions and I am kinda new to this all but I have a 2004 4wd 4Runner and I reciently backed into a guy and was wondering if I can paint the back gray fender right above my towing hitch or if I have to replace it. Also has anyone installed a wind guard on the sunroof and how much it costs. | |

First time here, I have a 93 v-6. The problem is i lost power going down the road and the motor died as i pulled over. It didnt have power up a small hill when i accellerated. The truck has gotten hot once before from a radiator leak that was just in the red on the gauge. And it was in normal range this time but was hot when it died. I let it cool down for about a hour, put some water in about a qt. and tried to start it. The motor chuged to try and start only after i stepped on the gas about 1/4 did it start. it ran for a couple minutes roughly. So i turned it off. The temp still showed normal range. I see water all around the radiator. So a leak got it hot again iam figuring. Anyway after a waited about 30 more minutes i filled the rad. back up and started the car. It started a little better and ran OK no missing or popping and no white smoke out the exhaust. So i drove it a mile to get it off the raod and have it towed, and it ran good. It showed about 3/4 on the temp gauge so i turned it off and towed it home. I have taken the sparkplugs out and looked at them. All white with some greyish deposits on them. Did a compression check on 5 of 6 cylinders. Found 4 with low 55 psi and one with 120 psi. Is there a way to determine if the head gasket is bad before a take it apart?? And what else could be a cause? I need you find out what else to check to point to the problem. Thanks for the help. I did have a check eng lt. code was 52 or 25. |

Has anyone ever gotten a resolution or self fix to the loose driver seat issue. I have an 05 V6 4Runner with only 2000mi on it and when making tight corners I feel it shift/move a little. I have seen the previous posts and ironically this seems to have happened to 2003, 2004 and mine is a 2005! One person said they owned a 2004 and went to dealer to install a new seat...well I'd be curious what happened since I have a late 2005 with the same problem still! I tended to doubt its the height adjustment..I owned a 2000 with height adjustment (appears to be the same design used) and it did not move at all. Anyone actually have a dealer correct this or a self fix? Any suggestions appreciated. |
