I had a 99 4x4 auto 3.4L & put 80k miles on it with ZERO problems. It was the desert dune color (nice color) with gold plated emblems. I did put a tranny cooler on it because after towing my 4000lb boat, the fluid started looking rough.
Except for a suspension noise after i took it off road for the first time. Didn't have a single noise until i did.
Any ideas what it might be? My 07 has the same noise, and it was only after i took it off road. I have no idea what it is.

Maybe a worn ball joint, check them just to be safe. My tundra started with pops and other front noises after a couple off road trips, then checked the ball joints and they were worn, had to replace all of them. Now the ride is soft and smooth.:tu:
My dad has a 99 sr5 with almost 300,000 miles on it and has had zero problems with regular maintenance done on it. I will inherit it when he stops driving. My son will drive it.
Great vehicles indeed but make sure you take care of the ball joints as they are a known fail point. I have seen some pictures of failures happening while driving and buckle the front wheel under.
I guess I'll respond to this too. For 4runners with auto transmissions, the stock tranny cooler is located in the radiator. Over time the radiator can corrode on the inside and allow coolant and tranny fluid to mix which will destroy the transmission. Manual transmissions don't have this problem.
As others have said the lower ball joints should be replaced ever 100K miles or so and only use OEM Toyota ball joints. Aftermarket bj's all fail which cause a lot of damage.
2004 Toyota 4 runner. Check engine light came on with SVC track off and ob light. The codes scanned are P0441, P0446 and P0455. Any help apreciated. :cry:
FWIW, I'm posting this for those inquiring minds who wonder what an iridium plug looks like after 8 years and 120,000 miles. The vehicle was running fine, but I figured I'd gotten my money out of the set I installed in 2011 at 60,000 miles (right at 180,000 this morning). Really pretty...
Hey fellers,
I have a light knocking or ticking sound at idle that sounds like a light main knocking in any other vehicle. Had the dealer listen at last oil change and they compared it to another '14 runner and they said it was the backup fuel or oil pump (can't remember).
I'm not an idiot...
This is a 2016 SR5 with less than 5000 miles
Every once in a while I have noticed a lack of response to throttle when making a right hand turn. By this I mean no increase in engine rpm's proportional to throttle position. I have shrugged it off as my imagination.
Now I have had two occasions...
