How to Get a Part Number for a Toyota 4Runner
- 1). Scan the part itself for a number stamped on the frame or on the inside of the part. Some parts such as the engine or light bulbs will have numbers that can be read. Many other parts will not have the part number in plain view or on them at all.
- 2). Call your local Toyota dealership or take the 4Runner in and ask them for the part number. In order to replace parts for your vehicle, the dealership has a detailed list of all the parts that match your year and specific model 4Runner. They can assist you in finding a replacement part or even just determining the correct part number.
- 3). Visit the Toyota Parts webpage to search their database yourself. Select "Truck/4Runner" from the vehicle list and then select the year of your 4Runner from the drop-down list. Click "Search" to continue.
- 4). Select the applicable parts group on the next page. This will be a list that contains more generic categories for determining the exact part you wish to search for. For instance, if you want to know the part number for your 4Runner spark plugs, you would click on the "Electrical" category.
- 5). Select the "Category" from the list on the following page. Continuing with the above example, you would click on "Spark Plugs" for a list of potential spark plug parts for your particular model 4Runner.
- 6). Scan the list of potential part numbers based on your engine type and model. Consult your owner's manual or speak with your Toyota dealership if you aren't sure the type of 4Runner you own. The part number will be listed next to other details such as the price and compatible engine type.
