    Oldest timing belt you've ever seen?

    Hi everyone, I picked up a 99 UZJ100 that had 275k miles with rear locker October 2016. At the time of purchase the major issue was a starter and an ignition coil; everything else seemed "ok". During some routine checks after purchase I looked at the timing belt and it was brown, cracked and...

    Is this the sound of a failing water pump???

    There is a water pump gasket you should replace. It comes with the Toyota and the Aisin aftermarket pump I believe.

    Transmission Fluid Exchange Writeup

    One other reason to consider this process over multiple drain and flushes is the actual cleaning efficiency and total cost (and time!). Using a standard concentration calculation shows that for the 12.6 qt capacity transmission and assuming a 4qt drain and flush, it'd take 6 drain-and-fills to...

    Sounds like belt squeak at 35mph and up

    Hi Everyone, Last weekend I used RavenTai's process for flushing the power steering fluid and it worked great. While I was at it I also just did a simple drain and flush of the transmission. Buttoned everything back up and started the truck to adjust to the correct levels and everything was...
