The mystery was circumvented and I got everything charging. Thanks to @alia176 and @Corbet for the help. The house battery charging on a cold engine finally stopped working altogether. This really helped as I was able to identify that the midi...

This guy's name comes up a lot in this arena https://avsoutfitters.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopYE3PBNgxix8pmS3vUnaVpejxudbVeFFRf_96WWsqXYQdQ80dr Either way, this project will not be done while you wait so you could send them to Kings or Filthy...

Is your bender the HF style, or a JDsquare style?

Do you happen to know the exact part number?

Woke up early and did this for the girl's (middle kid) Gen 1 Taco. Soaked my clothes in sweat. And I really would prefer not to use the spring compressor, but the job's gotta get done. Rehydrated with coffee and water. Rode 20 miles on dirt...

Kept riding until Luka's tongue stop growing 🤣. Have a great weekend!!

I am grateful that I have 2 spare A343F transmissions so I don't have to rebuild 1

^^^ Yes, I still need to verify that there is fuel getting to the injectors. To be done soon. ^^ Yes, I can test the EGR but I'd rather not do that now unless I know that it's a potential culprit. Last time I checked it, it worked fine IIRC...

Sounds logical to me👍🏾

I personally like the looks of the 70s Hilux body over the 80, I think it looks more put together than the chinook slapped on the 80. The 80 body also was a critter nest so it stunk of animal feces and urine etc. and it was generally rotted out...

I'm confused about the engine and tranny choices. Is this 80 series a '91/'92 3FE or the more modern 1FZ-FE? 5VZFE 190 horsepower and 220 lb-ft of torque. 1fzfe 212 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. I just helped my daughter do her HG on...

If the EGR valve is open, that'd mean that exh gas from #6 is going into the intake. Would this be considered "pirate air"? I wouldn't think it'd prevent the engine from actually starting though. If the AFR is jacked, that still wouldn't...

I finally got home at a decent hour tonight. Several things I’ve noticed. 1. We know the front end had previous body work when I had it painted. And the hood did come off. There is a slight bow in the hood about a foot from the leading edge...

With some delay. The process continues: Every suspension bushing has been replaced. On a couple of pieces I saw several tears in the rubber material. My 12 ton press had seen better days and could not handle removing the bushings. Went to...

Oh baby, empirical data analysis gets me all hot and bothered :flipoff2: Nice job amigo, and look at that footrest though :eek:. I'll have to do a comparo with my Dorman regulator on the driver window against these numbers to see where I...

thanks, this adventure was a while ago and it's quite memorable.

Yeah, that is where I finally arrived, but I had to step away twice for a break to get there.

I thought the hardest part was that ?!?!?!%%@@ snap ring at the bottom on the Number 2 brake piston. I almost needed a bigger sledgehammer for that job.

sounds like you do this more often than any of us!! My tranny is doing great but someday I'd like to refresh it since the turbo is adding more strain on it now. Perhaps a winter project for me?

Do you have any writeups that I can look at and be in wonderment?

this is fascinating info, thanks amigo!!

His shocks are also in need of replacement! I wonder given the cost if the OP would benefit from the lowest lift in the aftermarket? A complete shock/spring package for maybe less coin than all OEM parts?

more than 15 years later, this OP is still paying it forward! Broke my wire off doing the PHH and fixed it so much more easily because of your post!

Wasn't any work for me, but its been a long couple of days. I got a new grandbaby. Meet miss Evelyn Jo
