This is similar to the experiences of many people with 3rd gen 4runners of the same era, including me. Obviously very different engines but similar...

Be sure to test window sliding operation before installing the window assembly back into the van. You will need to adjust the tension of the screws...

I can't address what to do about cleaning or examining anything once you've removed the oil pan - because in my case, every leak that looked like it...

Just dropped my van off at Drews Welding and Fabrication in Longview for my new custom hitch build. I sure feel confident in this person, and Tim I...

Nice! Many points for the creativity; it looks like a better solution than just replacing the bushings (which, like the swaybar links and strut...

I did not get the Australian windows seals to work for me :( Cutting the holes in the right places was easy. But I needed to make the release cuts...

I grabbed a MOCA MW05438 off ebay for 10.50, and I'm happy to say it even works! Will update if I learn anything of interest but my first impression...

I took the dark and medium green into town and flushed it into the municipal waste system at work. I took the last gallons of highly dilute solution...

I got about 2 gallons out each flush, which is why it took so many rounds. So that was 16 gallons. I poured it all back into the distilled water...

Isn't it toxic in any appreciable concentration? And by "appreciable," I mean something I certainly don't know enough to judge (I have repeatedly...

Interesting. So you're dealing with a total volume ~100 quarts (or liters), a total weight ~200 pounds (or 100 kg). How scrupulous do you have to be...

I'm really sorry your Previa is giving you so much grief. That code 41 is there for a reason and should probably be fixed. A properly functioning...

Thank you for posting, because I realize I had not updated as promised. After a few months the noise came back. The PVC shim pieces had fallen...

Well... my rough hot idle issue rapidly deteriorated into a dead van. No longer starts. I am suspecting the distributor. The previous owner...

I just flushed and replaced my coolant for the first time. I did not need to change coolant types, but I can comment on the difficulty of draining...

Yep, mine took 8 flushes after all. By the fourth flush, I started removing the upper radiator hose and a TON more fluid would come out. I had the...

Seems like the distributor would be pressed together, the signal rotor being pressed onto that shaft. Maybe you can find a way to rig up a puller to...

Meh, the results weren't as good as I hoped. I still have some clanking and I'm afraid its my driver side tie rod(s). Which sucks, because I have...

Still have radiator? is this post still active?
