Last month I had some fun replacing the head gasket and various related parts. The truck had a tiny coolant leak in one or two cilinders ever...
"As CARB adds more rules, you will see more and more shops doing that. CARB has been coming down on aftermarket cats. You can only use CARB...
"They look under the car, under the hood, at the fuel cap, and at the dash; They also test at idle and at 25mph or so." Sounds exactly like the...
I believe I torqued the clutch to flywheel bolts about 45 ft/lbs. The flywheel bolts were a different story, that was about 120 ft/lbs if I...
Thanks for the suggestions. I did carefully spray about 1/4 can of carb cleaner through the intake whilst it was idling and it worked like a...
Thanks, sounds like possible culprit. I'll go and get a fresh can of carb cleaner. That other trick sounds like a fun job as well. ;-)
I am trying to diagnose a problem which I believe is some kind of misfiring. The symptons happen when the truck is not yet fully warmed up and...
Fixed it all up nicely over the weekend. New lighter rear seal, flywheel and clutch from LCE, some transmission/shifter boots and pieces (marlin...
Perhaps the crossmember is non removable because it uses torsion bars? Although the 4wd of the same generations uses torsion bars as well as far...
Thanks all for some helpful advice. I did have to turn the thing 45 degrees, as suggested above and in the manual. I was being dense though and...
It's a 2wd, the crossmember as far as I can see is just the tube under the transmission bolted to the frame with 2 bolts on each side, it's easy...
I have removed all the other things such as starter, slave cylinder and cross member. I also used some prying tools to separate the bellhousing...
I am taking my time replacing the clutch, flywheel (got a 12 lbs one), rear seal and perhaps the transmission seal. So far I have managed to...
Since 2009 or so I've been using a pacesetter: 86-95 Toyota P.U., All W.B., TFX Performance Exhaust System I am happy with it, It's reasonably...
Thanks, I guess that explains it. :-)
I am surprised, I honestly thought the engines with a carburetor had no ECU. I am wondering how the ECU in turn controls the fuel mixture since a...
Some time ago I had to replace a bearing in the rear axle. The other side was done at a mechanic during a trip in Nevada. The bearing was getting...
I have an 87 longbed xcab 2wd with carburetor (CA model afaics) and it has what looks like an oxygen sensor stuck in the exhaust (header?). It's...
Yeah I was wondering if they actually came by default with the truck I have. Or was it perhaps some dealer add-on "sport package" ;-) I have...
Am I right into thinking that an 87 2wd pickup didn't come with sway bars standard? This is a longbed xtra cab (dlx). Some years ago when I slowly...
