So, My roommates 4WD in his 03 TRD Tacoma is not functioning. It has the electronic one touch 4WD selection.
Does anyone know someone in town who can diagnose the problem and possibly replace the actuator? The transfer case has to be dropped and opened in order to remove and replace the actuator because of a stupid Japanese design.
The actuator is on the outside of the transfer case, but there is a slip/locking ring on the inside that needs to be taken off the shaft for removal of the actuator.
Country hills toyota quoted $2000 for parts and labor if it's the actuator that needs replacing, after they spend 2 hrs diagnostics. rumor has it that place is apparently gouging everyone.
It might be a positioning sensor or something simple as well, but either way the fella is gonna be killed this winter if he doesn't get it fixed.
