That is interesting that the tooth broke off the timing sprocket. Also another thing people tend to do is install that sprocket backwards that causes a bunch of issues.

I should have done some research before biting the bullet on the Berk/Arnley reboot kit, boots are great, the clamps not so much...
Not 100% true. Depends on the dealer really. I rebooted...
I bought this kit off amazon and run them on almost all our vehicles (still have to upgrade the Matrix and Rav4).

I think you have everything covered.
For power steering fluid I would do the turkey baster method for the cleaner side of the repair, or you could pull the lines off the rack itself, little more...
Keith I noticed that you have both o2s run in the same pipe? have you run a cross over to just run a single output exhaust? I looked through the thread but can't see what your end result for the...
Awesome progress, and thank you for sharing the info about connecting to the JDM ECU.
I have been perusing more and more Diesel 4Runners on the import sites and it never occurred to me that I...
That's awesome! Nice to hear that 4.0L come to life in a 4Runner!
When it comes to the key immobilizer, you don't necessarily need the entire key right? You just need the chip itself.
A couple...
Might take you up on that offer, great location on the ECU, fits in nicely. I admire how easy the evaporator is to get out for the 4Runners (at least up till the 3rd gen)
Bummer man, hopefully everything gets sorted and its a easy fix.
Interesting the differences between the older and newer 1UZs.
The older one I have has 3 temperature sensors, 1 for the cluster, 1 for the ecu and 1 for the fan clutch.
I ended up replacing at...
Bob,
Great start on the write up and what you have, will, and recommend not changing.
The only lights I have ever replaced on the dash lights to LED were in the brown truck.
I did everything,...
I would just stick with the pink, won't have to worry about changing it out for another 100k unlike the red.
Mike,
Bummer on the water pump.
I have come to blame the newer super long life coolant (pink) that Toyota uses now for the failure water pumps. It is thinner then the Toyota red and I feel...
Double check your ground there.
I have yanked on the harness pretty good and haven't had ill results.
I tried to wire the Diff light on my brown truck through the cluster but ended up just putting...
Bob,
The good news is the rack is super easy to do, especially if you live someplace that has not rust.
Unlike me, where Rust is a pain in my but 24/7...
Looks Awesome!
Awesome to see progress being made and runner saved!
Looking awesome Keith, Love the idea you had for the starter.
Your making me want to do this swap in the silver 4Runner I have. Look forward to the wiring setup when you get to it as well as how you...
Bob,
I just redid the valve cover gaskets on my stepfathers 02 4Runner, I last did them about 50k ago and they started to leak horribly again.
Like Mike had mentioned the rubber begins to get...
Bob,
Sorry I have been MIA from the Internets, I just went out and jumped in my 00' Limited that is factory equipped.
The RR DIFF LOCK light does illuminate for a few seconds to indicate the...
I ran out of time. The work I did was a vast improvement. A fellow tech who is more familiar with transmissions doesn't feel the problem is trans based. He feels it may be a weak valve spring issue....
Looking for a fresh idea gents.
My Step fathers 2002 Toyota 4Runner Auto 3.4l V6 with 316k miles on it has had a rough idle for some time and a code for knock sensors.
Today I went ahead and...
Awesome! Look Forward to seeing progress!
Bob,
Awesome, look forward to seeing the results!
How is Lance, I feel like out of the major players from the past I have lost contact with him. Does the 4Runner still even exist anymore??
Bob, I try to check the site every day, you are not alone! lol
For the breather, when I had it, I plumbed it with my extended diff breather that runs up to the gas door.
I just sip tied them...
Sean, does the Lexus have a traditional Vacuum booster or an accumulator style like on the newer 4Runners and FJs? If it has the accumulator, I have a bleed procedure you could do to get the firm...
