thanks! I looked for hours trying to find that.

I'm trying like the dickens to find replacement bolts, castle nuts and cotter pins, but I'm having little luck. Are these parts NLA? Does someone have a super secret stash they'd be willing to part with? What are my options in the event that I can't find a replacement? Are these worth reusing?

What fuel pump and O2 sensor combination did you end up with? I'm putting an AFI system in my 40 soon and want to get it right the first time.

pm sent.

Did you fab those motor mounts?

Bumpity, bump, bump. Any updates? I'm itching to see how this goes, and dying to put one in my '40...

I'm getting ready to mate the transfer case to transmission, and I have 3 spacers. I cannot for the life of me, figure out what order they go in. Is this the right order? --fueg0

Awesome. So to get that shim in place, do I have to knock out the brass plug on the front of the case? Now that I know what I'm looking for, it appears as though that shim is the last piece in figure 3-156 before the shaft exits the case? Am I reading that diagram correctly?

I'm a buffoon. I admit it. I wholeheartedly welcome the name calling, because I deserve it. Now that we have that out of the way, I have a washer that came out of (I think; pictures to follow) my transfer case. The reason I say "I think" is because I started the rebuild a few years ago, and due...

Sorry for the delay. Confirmed trans failure. Toyota techs wouldn't crack the case to tell me specifically what was wrong, only that there was 'something seriously wrong inside the transmission'. 6+ days wait on parts alone, and with the repair bill topping $4500 for the trans alone, we decided...

engaging the CDL was the only thing I didn't try last night. the truck is already at the dealership. I am hoping for the best. Seeing how Murphy seems to be my best pal here of late, I am not hopeful. I really don't think it's a true failure of the trans - that would be almost unheard of...

I REALLY, and I mean REALLY hope that it's a torque converter. this is my first truck with an auto, so I have absolutely zero experience troubleshooting problems of this nature.

The wife, kids and I are en-route to the Texas coast, and her hundy chewed up and spit out the transmission last night on I-45. We're currently in Willis, TX, and are considering taking the truck to Gullo Toyota in Conroe. anyone have any better places to take the truck? '02 LX470, 125K...

I'm getting ready to tackle brakes front and rear on the wifey's LX. Will I need to get 2 sets of shim/fitting kits for front and rear? What about brake fluid... any recommendations? Let me preface the next question with I have not pulled the wheels off yet... Are the rotors considered...
