I used landtanks template to install my bushings. Still have it but it would take 10 days to get to you, bruddah. I thought the hardest part was reinstalling. You really have to twist the front end to get it back in...just a pain
The cruisers been down for a few weeks, new injectors, cleaned and painted the Intake chamber, totally cleaned the throttle body(port p was plugged), and installed new radiator. Just took it on a test drive
Couldn't really find many options these days. I bought an Imperial radiator off amazon for $128 delivered. Its really a silla and will probably start leaking soon. The original finally started leaking, 380,000 miles and 23 years old, it will be missed.
Finally I've seen it again. My 4-runner had the same problem, except it would just kill here and there and wouldnt restart till later. Hooked a test light to fuel pump and saw it was being shut off, knew it was the computer shutting down the pump, replaced water temp sensor and shot in the dark...
Leaky injectors can cause bad mileage, gas smell, and long start ups. After you turn engine off, they slowly leak, dripping gas into intake and you can smell it. No pressure in fuel rail on start ups and cold start injector doesn't shoot it like its supposed to. Bad milage cause they never...
Muratic acid cleans the heater cores out real nice, did mine like ten years ago. You can also back flush the heater cores all by themselves by disconnecting the inlet and outlet hoses.
Found the pic but can't give you the link. Search worn drive flange=birf soup. The pic is in that. The old flange was rounded at every corner. Since the fix, no birf soup and I'm at 348 now.
It only made the noise when I was on the pedal. At first I only noticed it at about 50, but even at 20 it was there, just not as loud. I rebuilt the front, checked the bearings both sides like 8 Times. Think I even took pics of the worn flange as compared to the new one and posted them here...
I had hella noise like this. After much work and numerous tear downs, found out it was the drive flanges. Old, many miles on them, howled. Exact same symptoms. Drive flanges
There are two coolant hoses going to the oil cooler. I would imagine you would disconnect those and tie them together. However, if my oil cooler was toast, i would put a new one back in.
I feel obligated to mention i have 348,000 miles on my radiator, and if it goes in the next 6 months i blame it all on you. Is yours leaking or something? I'm not changing mine till it blows, and I'll brag about every chance I get. Oh yeah, it only sees green.
