How many of these leak ??? I am not aware of a problem but is it a good idea anyway or is it limited to certain vehicles ?

Speaking as someone who just replaced a water pump and at the same time, by way of insurance, replaced thermostat, timing belt, #1 idler, (#2 idler was good, I am thinking it may have been replaced...

It will go in the gas tank at the next fill up as I used the first pint in the upper intake area and in the crankcase.

My guess is now, as it was before is that it is 95% solvent as a good solvent...

Just wanted to share. I finally bought some Seafoam and admit I was a little skeptical at first. However, I can now report that Seafoam has done the following for me :

* Defragged my hard drive

Thanks.

I am just PO'd that alldatpro is not up to date.

I took care of it tonight but it was a PITA as I had to remove the fan, lower fan shround, loosen upper fan shroud, battery and a few...

K,

Just picked up a 36" torque wrench at work that runs to 500 lbs ft and is calibrated at 225 lbs ft.

We should be fine now.

I really need to run to ground where the torque spec was...

Hmmmm.

The database I have clearly says 184 lbft.

Where did you get this from ??

Thanks

... truck is so darn quiet now I am obsessing over every little noise that I never heard before :D

I have 141k on my 98 Ltd and the water pump got loud in a hurry. While I was there, I replaced...

You know, it was an email not a PM, my mistake.

Thanks, I will have a look at it. I took the rad out for my 93 and it made things a ton easier.
I will intentionally do it over two evenings (I...

David

Wow and double wow !

Got truck back from dealer after spending $86 and being told the EVAP system was functioning fine and also getting ablank stare when I said Purge valve SHOULD NOT RUN ALL THE...

UPDATE :

Dropped off at stealer this morning. It was like pulling teeth to get the service writer to write down what I said. She kept just writing 'customer advises emmisions system not working'...

Yup,

I have been chasing a problem on my 98 Ltd for a few months now. At idle, when warm, you can hear a noise that sounds like a knocking in the engine or perhaps a bad lifter. It is loud enough to hear...

Thanks for your comments. This is my 5th 4runner so I am well used to the tranny's shift patterns. This is a fairly recent step change in the delay in shifting into top and it has happened when the...

My 98 Ltd has 150k on it. Tranny fluid is new (drain and refil, not powerflush) within the last 3 months.

In the mornings (it is not cold yet, roughly 65* ), tranny takes a long time to shift up....

Thanks all..that was my default and the trade pricing I get softens the blow.

98 limited, stock twin piston calipers and stock rotors (in good shape).

I used to use the excellent Performance Carbon Metallic which seem to have dissapeared.

What do you like ??

David

So far so good on a fresh tank of regular gas.

I will, as I said, replace plug wires as funds allow.

BTW Jamie, how can I narrow down the shopping list of things you suggested without it...

Thanks all,

Been driving the S4 this week but will fill up tonight and report back.
I may well pick up some plug leads anyway.
