I don't know what it is with the some of the online depots that send Toyota parts. I had to order 8 steel wheels and return 4 for my 80. Even had them shipped to the Toyota dealer. Some would come in boxed in good condition, and the other had...
"The bolt was not put back on at all. He removed it by touching it."
That's bad on whomever forgot to tighten the crank bolt initially, but worse that others totally missed it.
Whatever money was spent chasing that rabbit in the past should...
Thanks so much for all the help from everyone who commented on this thread and for tagging Zach. He is a rockstar. Words can not convey just how much I appreciate and how excited I am that soon I’ll have my truck back on the road.
The bolt was...
To answer the engine pulling question: If you are replacing the head gasket, yes. Don't even think about it, just do it. Pull engine and transmission together. I am so glad I did.
Okay, the while you are in there stuff will add up quickly. There...
There is one reason (IMHO) to pull the engine to resolve oil leaks: a leaking upper pan seal. Everything else can be fixed, without pulling the engine. While it may be possible to pull the engine without the transmission and transfer case, if...
I was quickly reminded of why you should always look over the work you just did when a new problem arises
Daughter who dailies the hdj81 says dad, I'm getting a vibration above 65 on the highway, its new.
I start going through scenarios...
Have a pretty good leak in the power steering vane pump (it sat for over 4 years, don't think that helped) so ordered a new replacement from an online Toyota dealer. Received it exactly as shown. Who ever "packaged" it needs to have a rectal...
Where not talking about Jeeps here 😜 !!
All I’m saying is a 80 axle housing definitely benefits from a trussing if you run big tires and run hard trails.
I have to disagree!!
There are plenty of bent 80 axle housing out there.
And before I did my truss my front differential bolts would come loose ( common 80 issue ) almost every run causing the diff to leak.
It’s never happened again after...
So after doing some more research, my current plan is to copy @Broski and use 2x4 rectangular tubing and cut it down into a truss.
Then I'll make 2pc lower knuckle gussets out of plate.
This is a common problem with the 80 series. Most likely culprit is air bubbles trapped in the anti lock break system. There is a way to activate it to help bleed it, others go to a dirt road and lock up the breaks to get the system to cycle...
I know you are chasing this as a wiring issue. You indicated it only happened after a hard rain, which I am assuming you are getting quite a bit of water under the hood. If your spark plug wires and caps are not properly seated, water can enter...
Very confident it will work. However the cost is high. Rough costs for my 6T80 conversion:
$5,000 for trans
$1,800 for TCU
$1,100 custom transfer case shaft
$2,000 matching and materials
Won’t tell you cost for design and. Templating. I’m...
While others are modding up, I just finished out getting this rig to base spec! 😆 Only options remaining on it are the premium stereo and alarm system...
