Keep the revs below 5000RPM for the first 500 miles,
don't stay at the same RPM for extended periods, its best to have the engine work at different revs so do "unnecessary" gear changes when on long straights, don't use full throttle acceleration for 500 miles and maybe change the oil at 250 AND 500 miles for the absolute perfect run in, you can also change the oil filter at 250 and 500 since the engine will be kicking out a lot of metal during the run in and the less metal the smoother the bearings and cylinders will be throughout the life of the engine.

Testimonial: "Thank you for your support,but after the 500 miles runned is safe to test high speed? you guys are very good, thanks again. "

    once you get past 500 miles you can increase the revs slowly over a week or so - dont just thrash it once you hit 500 miles, the idea is to slowly accustom the engine to higher speeds, go for something like three quarter throttle and call the redline 6500 for a few days, then 8000 - just go up in stages and give it a week or so before you fully open the taps - the engine will thank you, also this gentle running in makes the piston rings bed in really well, giving you a few extra BHP compared to a less well broken in engine.

Try bleeding your brakes by starting from the furthest from the brake master cylinder and make your way up to the front. If that doesn't help, then you brake caliper on that side(right) is bad and needs to be replaced.

When i press on the breaks to stop its making a scrubing sound like the break pads are scrubing

A metal on metal sound? It could be due to worn down brake pads and the squealing is how the engineers designed the pad to let consumers know they needed to be changed. It could also just be dirty. Go out and buy an inexpensive can of brake cleaner and spray the rotors, pads and calipers on both sides very well. If the squeaking continues it's probable that you need new brake pads.

Bought a new brake light switch, wires fell off the old connector, need to know where and what order the wires go on the new brake light switch 1995 chevy blazer 4.3 engine , 4-door

It shouldn't matter what order the wires are attached. The switch is N.C (Normally Closed).

When you press your foot on the brake all it does is Open/Break the contact between the two wires.

My 4runner breaks fail atimes. what can I do to resolve this? Brand is toyota 4runner 1999 model v6 engine (5vz) Whenever I apply break softly, the break pedal goes all the way down. I have changed all...

Calipers need to be replaced.
Brake fluid needs to be flushed completely through 4 wheels.
If you are not comfortable to do it your self then have a shop to do it. These calipers can be rebuilt, but I would go with new ones.It is recommended to have brake fluid flushed every 3 years. The brake fluid is subjected to absorb moisture over time. When it has moisture, it combines with dust causing some clogged up at moving surface locations as cylinders inside calipers. New brake fluid in the line can maintain the brake performance as it is designed to do so. Flushing is not the same as filling up. Good luck.

Noise while applying brakes or turn left / right

Sounds like the break rotors are warped. At this point its best to do a break job, chanses are the calipers are the problem not releasing and creating heat, or break lines are not returning fluid back to resavor witch in turn warp the rotors. Run the whole gamet on the breaks. New rotors, New calipers, New pads, and New rubber break lines to calipers. And you will solve your break problem.
