Sorry about the door getting eaten by the rock!
I have a spare door. i just have to swap over all the guts and get a new fender.

that california cat was $198, and they tried convincing me to buy it, then i left and went to another checkers (where i bought my cat) and had it exchanged within 2 days, and they even hooked me up with a magnaflow cat this time

Cool truck, looks like a no holds barred fun machine. I'll be sick when I put the first big dent in mine...but then it'll be on.

Hey guys,

I need some guidance. My truck 95 4Runner is no running very well. It can barely climb a hill. I need someone who can go through it thoroughly. I am a disabled veteran that will be moving to Phoenix in a few weeks. Maybe I can go out for a run with some of you once my truck is in shape.

Joe

Which motor do you have, Dragon? 3.0 V6 or 22RE?

Thanks for the quick reply Chef. I have the 3.0 When I was gone, my wife sent it to Purrfect auto in Oceanside and they did a cylinder head job. I guess they did not do a good job because when I got back it couldn't climb a hill. I tried to have it fixed again but they said that it only had a one year warranty (I was gone for a whole year).

Last month the power steering pump was leaking like a faucet and I tried to fix it myself but unfortunately I broke the plastic prong where the hose connects to.

I sent you a Private Message, Golden Dragon. Maybe you can speak to me there and I can help you start a thread of your own? Really quickly, though; THAT'S ROTTEN! If you were gone, and it wasn't driven much, wouldn't the miles reflect that it'd not been driven much at all since the head job they'd done? A warranty is a warranty, true enough. But GEESH, ... pulling the, "Sorry pal, expired!" on a disabled VET? ...I couldn't do it.

Sorry AZ, .... didn't mean to highjack, ...I sent him a PM when I posted the first message, here. Hopefully he'll get it and respond so that I can maybe help him out.

Waiting for whatever is next, AZ!
