Replying to: tidester (Dec 03, 2007 9:15 pm) Thanks for your opinion! I also heard that the V6, here in brazil, has a very expansive maintenance (IF, and WHEN needed) so I´ll keep my 99 for another 50k miles. Please about the engine "running cold" do you have any clue about that? Nice to talk to you! Replies to this message: tidester (Dec 10, 2007 11:42 pm)

#72 of 100 Sound system interchangeability by dtitzer Dec 15, 2007 (4:13 pm)
I have a 1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with premium sound 3 in 1 combo system w/6 speakers (radio part# 56807).   Can I pull this out and install into a 2002 4Runner with the lesser powered 3 in 1 system (part# AD6803)?   Is the amp built in to this radio or is it separate and are the speakers the same type on both vehicles?

Replying to: tidester (Dec 08, 2007 11:15 pm) First, Thank you for the info. I greatly appreciate it. I called a local Toyota service center to order a replacement A.D.D. sensor. They said they showed a #1, #2, or a #3 for the 99 4runner. Parts man thought I need a #3. Took it to the shop to have it installed ........it wouldn’t fit......wrong one. Shop said the dealer should have used trucks V.I.N. # to identify correct part. How many sensors on the 99. Any insight would be appreciated.

Replying to: seedsca (May 08, 2006 6:22 pm) Hello, I had the same Electrical wiring harness problem on my 98 4Runner SR5. It made me crazy trying to figure what was wrong. It turned out the harness was defective and Toyota replaced the Tow hitch harness with a new one at no charge. The car was 4 years old and out of warranty, but they they replaced it free. You might want to check the chance of a TSB in relation to your wiring harness for your model year. Hope this was of some help. Ben.

Can anyone please tell me the purpose of the ETC button on the right side of my console. Also when would I use it with the O/D in the off position. As it stands now I drive the car with the O/D on for better fuel economy. The car has 61,000 miles, and I had the Trans. fluid flushed and filled by Toyota at 47,000 miles. Am I doing damage to my Transmission driving in the city with O/D at all times? Any input would be of help, and better understanding for me. The car is perfect in all respects. And I'd like to keep it another 10 years. I also use synthetic engine oil. Ben. Replies to this message: supersupergreg (Jun 10, 2008 4:59 am)

Replying to: akinsintenn (Jan 04, 2008 3:29 pm) 224,000 miles is terrific.. Have you considerd having your injectors cleaned, or even checked for bad ones? With that kind of mileage I would also the consider the Fuel Filter and pump. Even having the Fuel lines blown out and clean. With 224,000 miles you make me proud and secure in owning a 4Runner V-6. I don't know how often you tune your car, but I would also consider a complete tune-up, wires, plugs. filter. If finances allow I think my first choice would be a Toyota Diagnotsic. It's through, and for sure you you'll know your problem{s} Sometimes going thru the car yourself replacing everything, and there are many things to consider, you may still not find your problem. And it could cost you alot of money, and needless to say much frustration. Good luck. Ben
