    squeaks from down under?

    it was the shock cushions and retainers which were somehow in a non-noisy state with the old shocks and when they installed the fresh ones, even reusing them, got them into a noisy state -- less than $100 in parts to do both sides of the rear and now it's quiet as a quiet mouse... Lesson is if...

    Wanted tailgate glass with working defroster threads

    I'll check that out again - didn't notice it was broken though. If that is it, can it be replaced or fixed without swapping the glass? Do you mean on the glass side or body side of the connection?

    squeaks from down under?

    it's a 95, yes same as my signiture. the squeak has been around for a while, since before the new shocks and springs. I really thought it was the exhaust but a very good local muffler shop said everything down there is fine.

    Wanted tailgate glass with working defroster threads

    Matt - the fuse is fine, and the button light works, so I'm suspicious of the glass, but I haven't replaced it because I'm afraid of the tint being different and I dont mind it not working to take the risk.

    squeaks from down under?

    My 80 has brand new OEM shocks and front springs. The hangers for the exhaust have been checked and are fine. Yet, there is still a squeaking that comes from underneath that sounds like metal on metal - i can't tell which side it's on and I know it's an old truck and will never be quiet, but...

    Wanted tailgate glass with working defroster threads

    good points - i'll tell her to call you so you can explain...;) I guess I don't know that -- the light on the dash button works and the laser thermometer tells me the threads are not getting hot - that's all i know... btw, is there a factory tint on the rear glass or windshield of these...

    Wanted  clear glass for second and third row windows

    My truck came with factory tinted glass and I want to swap in clear glass -- I'll be selling my tinted once I pull it but I need to source the clear set first. Driver and passenger doors are already clear, but need the second and third row glass.

    Power steering fluid slow leak...

    Hi everyone. My otherwise happy '95 has a slow leak/weep of power steering fluid. I dont seem to lose more than a few drops - the reservoir seems fine - but I'm thinking of replacing the lines and looking for hacks/advice/wisdom. It's not brake fluid, not oil, and when i put it up on my...

    TwinTurbo V6 swap?

    If we get enough pre-orders, could we convince Toyota to sell the V35A-FTS 3.5L twinturbo that is going into the 300 series as a crate motor in the USA, so we can swap it into our 80 series trucks? After all, they admitted the 80 was the starting point for the 300 platform, and it's nice to...
