It appears they should be inter-changeable, as the only real changes between the 8RC and 18RC are: 18RC is bored out 2.5mm larger, it has several...
Yes do change it like right away-your diff gears will say thank you. You could flush it a little by first putting a solvent in the fill hole (not...
Safety switch - Neutral, clutch, etc.?
If your is a 77 with the 20R motor you should have a 4.11 rear in there already. The lowest ratio I've been able to find is like a 3.93. Toyota...
Well now I really hadn't thought along those lines before. I did with my 4x4 but it never crossed my mind with this 2 wheeler. The book says I...
Timing being way off could keep it from starting and running, but won't affect the speed or strength of the starter motor. Have you checked your...
I agree check your ignition switch function to make sure it's not failing-you can hook up a light and jiggle the key to see if it's failing. And...
Well just since your dangling I will offer up an opinion (for what it's worth). Of course you must consider what tires/wheels your going to put on...
It depends on what parts you are looking for. Some are really easy like the maintenance parts etc., and sadly some are basically unobtanium unless...
Nice bump I'm still curious about exactly what tranny would be the best option to replace my 18RC's 4 speed-cause 4500 rpm's at 75mph is just too...
Congrats on your '73 and your new project! These are great fun to work on although I'm sure right now your not sure about that. As for the...
There should be a grommet around that rod that prevents intrusion of water. I can't be sure since these trucks are so old, but mine has nothing to...
I am interested in doing this to my '74 Hilux as well. Not sure if this would be the way to go, but I have seen this job completed on a BMW mini....
The various manuals all have that info (Haynes, Chilton, Clymer) and I think Autozone has it all on-line for free as well. Check it out on their...
Are you looking for more power? Reliability? or Gas mileage. The stockers aren't as bad as most would make them out to be-lot's of poorly adjusted...
Have you checked your PCV valve to see if it's clogged? I have an 18RC and haven't worked on the 8R, but I believe they also had a positive...
Try this search engine, it dig's through all the salvage yards. I would call and confirm a match before putting your $$ down. If you find a new...
Take off the upper fill bolt and stick your finger in! Yes that is exactly how Toyota describes it in their manual. There are two bolts one on the...
Randy I can't be certain 'cause I don't have one, but I don't think that year Hilux had an EGR system. 71Hans no sweat, we have to stick together...
I'm still looking for a complete diagram-the ones I found in my manual are detailed but not the best. I will scan them tomorrow and put them up...
