    Quick Links: A code scanner? Upgrade to LED Signals, Brakes etc...Inexpensively??? Intake passages in heads What GL rating should the transfer case gear oil have? I'm a new member of this forum. I have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner 5-speed with a door lock issue. Engine is way louder than it used to be. It sounds the same but just amplified...
