#37 of 76 Seeking Opinions by 4runnertank Mar 01, 2007 (1:09 pm)
Your best bet is a private owner selling one, don't buy from a dealer (trust me on this). have a mechanic check it out for leaks or unforeseen problems (cost $50 or $60 bucks), 90-94 had a recall on head gaskets, some got re-built engines for free by Toyota, some got brand new engines free from Toyota!, ask if the recall was done. The 95' I owned had an engine that went bad at 140,000 miles which shocked me. The 95's were not under any recall, they said they fixed the problem. I still Love these trucks. They have a unique combination of things that no other vehicle has. Cool Trucks for Cool Guys! 4RunnerTank Replies to this message: saggrl25 (Mar 01, 2007 1:37 pm)

Replying to: 4runnertank (Mar 01, 2007 1:09 pm) Great thanks for the info. I am planning on buying private. I just wanted to make sure I was going to get something reliable so I'm not stuck out in the backwoods somewhere. Other than the engine blowing up, did you expereince any other problems? I've read about the power and how tire size can affect this...any opinions?

No, Nothing to speak of......A high mile vehicle will normally have integrity problems, thats to be expected, door handles, sunroof switches, window switches that go bad, stuff like that you just gotta keep up with it, no big deal! 4Runners are solid trucks, but after a certain amount of miles, they need TLC just like any other vehicle! 4RunnerTank

I have a 1991 Toyota 4 Runner 6cyc. 5 speed. My power back window will go up but it won't come back down. It has worked off and on for about 6 months but it seems to have completly stoped in the up position. I hear a click when I hit the up but nothing when I hit the down.   Thanks Replies to this message: toy4run (Mar 16, 2007 2:54 pm)

Replying to: dang2 (Mar 15, 2007 7:56 pm) I had a 1992 Toyota 4Runner 4cyl 5 speed awhile back. Had a similar problem the window will go down but will not come up...I didnt hear the click you speak of. But I figured it was the switch not working since there is power to it going down. So I bought a new one and the window worked again. I bought it from toyota and it cost $75 bucks...thought it was expensive but didnt want to go to a junk yard and come to find out it will give out. I would think also it would be the cheapest way to start trouble shooting it.
#42 of 76 power window by 4runnertank Mar 16, 2007 (3:45 pm)
My wouldn't work either way (up or down) on my 95' 6 cly 4 Runner, I had to use the key to move the window. I found a rear window switch on ebay for $5.00 dollars, about $10.00 total with shipping, it took 10 minutes to replace with the old one and its been working for 6 months now with no problems......
#43 of 76 Question about recall and owners manual by luvmyrunner Apr 01, 2007 (6:23 pm)
Hi,     We recently bought through a used car dealer a 1990 4runner, with 175,000 miles, stout vehicle, ran a carfax report and we are the 2 owners. The report didn't say anything about the vehicle being repaired. My question is being the second owners are we entitled to take our 4runner to Toyota to be repaired? And my other question is where can I find a owners manual for my '90, because I have located the fuse box (under the hood)and I want to replace the fuse(guessing here) for the lighter. but the are buttons that I have no idea what they are. The "Haynes Book" doesn't cover that. The buttons in question are         Located near the shifter "ECT" BUTTON         Located on the shifter is "shift lock over ride"   I need to know what they are for, and if the recall applies to us.   Thanks to all who reply.

Replying to: luvmyrunner (Apr 01, 2007 6:23 pm) Hello,   You are eligible to get it repaired for any recalls on it. I have a 1995 and am the 5th owner and got something repaired on it that had a recall...the steering rod.   The ECT button is just like a power button...gives you more power up the hills...basically holds the rpms longer.   Not to sure on the shift lock over ride button dont think mine has one.   As for the Manual maybe you can find on ebay or craigslist.

Replying to: toy4run (Apr 02, 2007 3:20 pm) That's a lot of miles - for a price, appraise it and get the True Market Value.
