I think a lot of 4Runner owners will be watching this in the years to come.

@scubbarookie 3 года назад

I'm glad to be able to see how you rebuild and improve, what is now an over 20 year old ride! The 3rd gens really put new life into the legend of the 4runners.

Glad I ran across this video on how to just replace the door lock motor, it saving me roughly $270 on purchasing four actuators for my 2001 3rd Gen 4 Runner

@glentweedie602 3 года назад

Hi Austin, I'm a farmer in South Africa & also love building & fiddling cos I figure that if I send it to the dealer then I'm creating lazy time & high costs for myself. I really enjoy the no-nonsense, practical, common sense approach you have. It's what usually gets the job done properly. Well done

@4runner4life7 3 года назад

Wow I'm glad I don't have 4wd! In my case, there's less stuff to break since I got 2wd. I also have a 2002 4runner. It's silver with the limited trim. love these trucks! So far I've done the alternator, shifter bushings, coolant flush, LED headlights/ interior lights, new carpet, rear diff fluid, PCV valve, and oxygen sensors. Gonna need valve cover gaskets, battery, brakes, and some new shocks pretty soon though. I know it sounds like a lot but these trucks are old, but they deserve it IMO. Thanks for the vids!

My black 99 4Runner door locks won’t work after sitting in the sun in summer time. I bought these motors 3 years ago and never replaced them. Now I see your video and it makes me want to finally change them. My other 2000 4Runner was getting grumpy going in and out of 4x4 since I don’t use it very often. I started going in and out of 4x4 a bunch of times and now it works perfectly.

@philgriswold2133 Год назад

Someone may have already said this, but the small nipple on the TC actuator is for you vent hose to allow condensation to evaporate from inside this unit. Somewhere dangling is a black, rubber hose that is probably split at the end. You need to trim it off and re-attach to the nipple. If you don't the next time you go into water, it will fill up again. I fought the same fight against a 2002 Sequoia 4wd system. It shouldn't be this hard.

@joshuakim5905 3 года назад

NICE!!!! At least u can easily remove ur actuator without dropping the tcase. The 4th gen has a known issue of a leaky actuator due to a crappy designed O-ring. My 4th gen does it. :( You have to drop the tcase to properly replace the o-ring. You can buy a generic o-ring for a few bucks. Toyota won't replace the O-ring. They will charge you $2000 to replace the whole actuator + labor. :(

@yomeme2490 3 года назад

@elimogenson3316 9 месяцев назад

My runner has two power locks that don’t work. Front passenger side and rear driver’s side. I hear the actuators moving inside the doors just like on the two doors that do work, but the plungers don’t move. Think it could be a broken or disconnected rod?

@AndyWaddell-hz1es 6 месяцев назад

Hi Austin- great video! I just inherited my moms 1998 4runner, and the drivers side lock motor is almost gone. I tried your link but apparently its moved/broken on their end. Do you have the part number for the motor so I can search for it?

@maddy6764 11 месяцев назад

@ginovitali9991 3 года назад

So I’ve got a 97 sr5. Mine was clicking and I swore it was the abs sensor on the passenger side kick panel. Replaced it and the clicking was still there. Then found out on that same side there is a 4wd relay that if unplugged it will not click any more. The front diff would seem to try and engage while driving without even putting it in 4wd. I still can’t figure out wtf is going on. I just leave that relay unplugged until I need to put it into 4wd then plug it in and it does not click while in 4wd. Only in 2wd does it click and try to engage the front differential. Any idea on what I’ve got going on?

@joecantrell7489 3 года назад

Never heard of high 4 lock? I have heard of 4 high and 4 low.

@lukethompson5885 3 года назад

4 high would have an open diff in the transfer case so you could drive on the road in bad conditions without the drive line binding, then high locked locks the transfer case giving you a 50/50 split between the front and rear driveshafts, and 4 low is also locked. If you just have 4 high and 4 low there is no need to say “locked” because there is no need to differentiate between the two 4 highs.
