    UPDATED: VSC issues..check engine and both VSC lights

    This can happen after restoring battery power. It takes some time for the ECU to gather real world data and adjust to actual conditions, which I'm guessing includes such things as temperature, gas octane, knock sensor input, spark, fuel mixture, MAF sensor input, O2 sensor input, and so on...

    Newbie drive train noise question

    Congrats on the purchase of your 94! I have one as well, terrific vehicle. After taking ownership of used vehicle (esp. with high miles), it's the right time to baseline all fluids, regardless of what prior owner records claim. Diagnosing a drive train noise is a second reason to...

    Help me diagnose noise

    Doug, thanks very much for that additional info. Prior to reading your post, I had wondered if it's OK to exceed the 3/4 full recommendation to try to solve the problem. Good to know it's OK to do so and the extra grease will just come out the sweep seals. As an update, I thoroughly cleaned...

    Birfield done! Forgot to grease the spindle. What now?

    Excellent. Even if one needs to remove the outer hub nut, there is no need to reset the preload. Just re-torque the outer hub nut to 47 ft-lbs or whatever the proper spec is. Question about fabricating the special tool. Is the zerk hole threaded, or is it straight drilled and the zerk...

    Is it OK to use Moly grease in the wheel bearings?

    Owner's manual specifies Moly grease for the steering knuckles. Specifies regular (non-Moly) grease for the wheel bearings and propeller shafts. If possible, I'd prefer to use the same grease all around. Is it OK to use Moly grease in the wheel bearings and propeller shafts? Plan to use...

    Birfield done! Forgot to grease the spindle. What now?

    Beowulf, This special spindle greasing tool is a great idea. I need to fabricate one to solve a problem with my vehicle. I don't yet have experience disassembling a front hub. Please let me know which front hub parts need to be removed prior to using the tool. My best guess is...

    Help me diagnose noise

    96r50, good point. Thanks for clarifying that! Dbarr4lsu, base line all your fluids as described in this thread. Changing each fluid is as easy as changing the engine oil. Start by greasing the steering knuckles via the square inpection/fill bolt on the inner top -- 1.5 tubes of Moly...

    HDJ-81VX ,ltd. 1HD-T, 1992 ,A442F problem

    Lucke, Your vehicle's problem is in the electrical wiring. It's not a mechanical problem per se. Check continuity of the wiring harness from the engine comparment to the automatic transmission. Your vehicle's automatic transmission is not getting the electrical signal to automatically...

    Help me diagnose noise

    Based on observations stated above, I suspect breather tubes are plugged. I think this could create a vacuum, enough to suck grease from wheel bearings, past the seal, into the front differential. Today I plan to clean the breather tubes and modify the tube's end cap by removing the flap...

    Help me diagnose noise

    Easy stuff first, here's what I've done so far to try to fix the 'moan' noise after a right hand turn: - changed power steering fluid to Red Line D4ATF synthetic using the FAQ method. - changed front diff and transfer case fluid to Red Line 75W/90 synthetic gear oil. - greased steering...

    stripped Diff (fill) bolt

    The suggestion to replace the OEM fill plugs with Camry 10mm allen head plugs is excellent. My rear differential fill plug looks like it's rusted in place. Unfortunately, I rounded the bolt head yesterday. Soaked it in PB Blaster and will try again today. This may help remove rounded...
