Specifically a pipe that comes right off of the manifold. My trusted muffler guy says he's welded it bit it keeps burning through and its a goner. Claims that best place to check is online, but my regular online parts places just have mufflers, cat converters, not exhaust parts like the pipe...
Very happy with mine. I think the key is highway versus in-town driving. Yesterday we were mid to high 90's with humid conditions and on a 25 minute highway trip I was asked by the 2nd row passengers to please turn the A/C down as they were getting too cold! :D
Just had to replace my alternator, same exact readouts (little to no charging, cannot keep up with headlights) with a load tester. Ordered reman from CDan. Cdan told me there were two different types, and for the type that I had replacing brushes was either not an option or exceeded the cost...
I'll likely end up taking it to a shop or Toyota for installation after ordering the part from CDan, which is why I'm asking. The FSM wasn't too helpful to me since instructions for removal of alternator only have four steps, and one of those is just disconnecting the negative terminal of the...
After getting tire of throwing my 1991 LC on a battery tender in-between driving it the 1-2 times a week that I take it out I decided to borrow an ex-mechanic friends battery load tester to use on my 9-month old battery. When the engine is not running I'm 12.5 or so volts (analog gauge). It...
1991, 141K miles.
Going on one year of ownership already. Had to adjust kick down cable due to slipping when shifting. Upgraded shocks, brakes, tires. Full sound deadening along with speakers and Basslink. Many squeeks and rattles fixed. A few decent hack-job rust repairs. Clicking birf...
I traced my sunroof rattle to the metal wind deflector bouncing on bumps. Some well placed sticky back felt on the bottom of it silenced it up. Before I did this the only times it didn't rattle was when it was open or the shade was completely pulled closed. To see if this is it, open your...
I was in a very similar case as yours. Picked up my 91 80 for $3500 from a family member who used it as a glorified minivan. I felt it was a screaming deal with 135K, but he was only so-so on preventative maint. Before I read up on IH8MUD I just believed him that 'such and such' noise is...
