I have decided from things I’ve read in this group that my sunroof cables
are bad in my 91 4Runner. What I haven’t been able to find out is how to
replace them. My service book (a cheap one) doesn’t show how to remove them
and neither do any of the books at my local library. Rick has said that the
dealer charges 3.5 hours labor so I guess it’s a big job.

Can anyone give me more details on pulling the sunroof out? All I know so
far is that it comes out from the top

Thanks,
Tom

Does anyone make a tool box for the bed of the 99 Tacoma Extended Cab.
The area is approximately 40 X 20.
The wheel wells are in the way.

I checked with Husky & Delta,
no such luck.
There must be some one out there that would fill this need.

I have a 2003 4Runner SR5 V8 with 3500 miles on it now.  I’ve had a
very strange power loss problem on four occasions now, which I have
been able to overcome (so far) by stopping the vehicle, shutting it
down completely, and restarting.  (This indicates to me the engine
computer must be running Windows

This problem’s symptoms:  You press the accelerator (say to go up a
hill or leave a stop light) and the engine spins up to high RPM (4000
or 4500 RPM).  However, the vehicle barely moves.  The first and
second times were on a flat stretch, it took a good ten seconds to
make it up to 20 MPH.  The third time, it was going up a hill, and I
barely had the power to duck into a side street to reboot the system.

The first time this happened, I drove about three miles before I had
the idea to try rebooting the vehicle.  So I spent that time going
over the indicator lights, shifter position, cruise control, etc.
Nothing unusual was indicated.

I told the dealer, they suggested I had something stuck under the
accelerator.  When I told them that was unlikely with the engine
hitting 4500 RPM, they gave me a blank stare.  They found no problem.

Besides the fact that I don’t trust the vehicle to get me home from a
trip, this particular problem can actually kill me and my wife, since
we do a lot of mountain driving on 2-lane roads, and I pass other
vehicles when needed.  If the engine dies at the wrong time during a
passing manuever…

Anybody have any ideas on this?  Or want to buy a used (and unloved)
4Runner?

Try Sears Roebuck,that’s where I found my best deal.Good Luck.

I am trying to get my second alarm remote added to my 2000 Tundra, but
the FAQ isn’t clear enough, or I am not smart enough to figure it out.
Can someone point me to instructions on how to add a second remote, and
any other programming instructions for the SecuriKey+?

Thanks

  Everybody’s gonna get it! Mike

Just curious – how does one get a wrench on these plugs to let the coolant
drain out?  (Without removing the engine)  :)

Hi – a coworker would like to pull a horse trailer that has electric brakes.
He’s got the hitch already, and he was told there’s an OEM plug he can
connect the controller to for the brakes and lights.  The plug he’s found
supposedly only runs the lights.  He wants to avoid a tech going in with
wire cutters and splicing a system together, not to mention he doesn’t want
to loose his warranty.

He asked the Toyotoa parts dept in his area about a plug and or adapter, and
they just shook their heads (no)…

Comments, advice?

Thanks in advance.

I just took my 99 Tacoma in for it’s 60K Major Service. I mentioned that my
air conditioner reeks! They said it was common and there is nothing they can
do about it.
Does anyone here have that problem too? And if so, What do you do about it?
Also, does anyone have the Toyota Extended warrenty?
If so, Does it cover anything?Every time i take my truck in the shop for
maintence they throw more shit at me that i have to have done on my truck or
the warrenty wont cover it if something happens. Heck, I bought this truck
so I wouldn’t constantly be paying out the rear for maintence.
Thanks, Rachel

I have a ’94 1/2-ton 2WD shortbed with a 22RE 5-speed with 110,000 on
the clock. My mechanic tells me the worsening rattling  i am
experiencing is due to the fact that the No 3 piston is about to throw a
rod. I have access to a good ’84 22R carb motor from a 1/2-ton 4WD
5-speed; is it possible to swap the RE for the older engine? What kind
of can of worms could I be looking at opening?

thanks in advance
