This is so helpful. Thank you! How current is this list?

If you have the smog pump pulley, the one with 4 bolts, I'd buy that off you! I don't need the pump I just need the pulley. Thanks.

Update. Didn’t work. Still getting high temp readings on the gauge….. crap.

Should this threaded adapter be shorter so the temperature probe sits further down in the coolant? I just completed this fix and sure enough only the very tip of the sensor was in the coolant and the rest was dry. I had the engine rebuilt on this truck five years ago and have since replaced the...

Just purchased from Cruiser Parts.. $79 now. Or $35 for used.

Anyone know where to find this check valve?

Following up on this. What I didn't realize until the next day, that wire powers the solenoid connected to the fuel shutoff on the carb. The idle was completely thrown off, and simultaneously my air injector check valve died and the hose cracked off. So vacuum chaos.. and extremely rough engine.

My fan was working until recently when the makeshift harness clearly came in contact with the manifold. I want to put it back together but don't want to fry any electronics in the process. Can someone give me a thumbs up on whether this picture and my thinking are correct? Seems odd to have...

Ha! No Tacoma yet! But saw a lot of them this weekend. Just back from a trip up to Bear Valley, Ca. 7300’ with lots of waves and ✌🏼signs. Everyone loves the 60… The truck did great. The 2F is not a beast on the hills but we made it and more importantly had no temp issues. Even running the AC...

Yes. We have it slightly advanced.

Update, been driving, knowing that if I sit in traffic that the temp will get to 7/8 on the dial. Today I went back to a 180 degree thermostat and replaced the temp sender…… to absolutely no affect. Didn’t change anything. I’ve replaced radiator, thermostat, fan clutch, temp sender, tested for...

Thank you for the detailed description and the education. Freewheeling at highway speeds with low radiator temps makes perfect sense. Add fan clutch to the list of unnecessary replacements I’ve done to resolve this thing. I haven’t had time to replace the original temp sender or add an...

The pictures are of the fan clutch that I removed (10k mi. Looks brand new) Aisin FCT-017. I replaced it with the same exact thing because that’s what is recommended in the searches that I did. Amazon $58. The weird thing: The fan blade SPINS FREELY right after I turn the engine off. And it...

Poking around with the infrared gun I discovered the air rod injection tube (not sure what it’s called) is really hot. On further inspection found that the hoses coming off the smog pump were reversed. Probably been that way as long as I’ve had the truck (20 yrs). Swapping them has likely...

I put a 180° thermostat in (ring gasket up and spring side down) a year and a half ago. With the problem persisting I swapped that out for the Toyota OEM 190° thermostat that cost 3X everything else at, $90 and it has a bleed hole for air. One suggestion was to drill a couple more bleed holes in...
