Bit of a startle while at work, a coworker alerted me to my 96 just blasting its horn. Went out to the garage to check, horn was just stuck on as well as tail lights were on as well as the gauge lights. The front indicators were not. Messed with the airbag, no dice. Activation/deactivation...

I am sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I'm not sure why it wouldn't let me log on for the longest time. At any rate if you have a lead, I'm all ears.

Does anyone know a good source for LHD brake pedal/Clutch pedal and box? As noted all the NIB stuff is now NLA. I have tried a few sources for the LHD stuff but no dice. Does anyone have a good source they use? Thanks

I think that maybe the 617 would be cheaper but overall level of satisfaction will probably be higher with the 60x series. The 603 is an SOHC 6 at 3.0L while the 606 is the twin cam 3.0L. The also have SOHC and DOHC 4 and 5 cylinder variants of both as well. To the best of my knowledge there...

Tragically my local dealer is useless. When I pulled the starter down there were Koyos in it so that's what I replaced them with.

Thanks Guys! This was all I was looking for and more. Got some ordered. I used Molykote in re-packing the gear case and ordered new Koyo bearings for the armature, which honestly was the biggest PITA to get honest to god Koyos.

I'm rebuilding my Denso 2.0kw starter and the O rings that go between the endcap and the motor body as well as the motor body and the gearbox are both cracked and broken. I cannot find anywhere the part #s for these. Does anyone know the part # or size so I can replace them? Thanks! Bob

You can swap and Smog an LS in California. It's a royal PITA but you can do it. For the cost of a Slee 4.7 swap you can probably swap the E-Rod motor which comes with all the stuff you need to be CA Compliant. I looked into this when searching for jobs out west. That said it ends up being 10lbs...

Yep you can run everything in the vehicle without the factory ECM. You can use HP Tuners to modify the LSx tacho output for the factory tach, you'll probably need a pull up resistor or tach driver depending on how you want to do it, but that still wont change with the factory ECM.

When you torque down your trigger wheel, cam drive sprocket and damper with the damper/pulley bolt, the resultant friction and compression is more than sufficient to drive the oil pump without the need for a Key.

I think the good thing about 'second hand' transmission options and its similarity to Jeep and Supra and Aristo, etc transmissions is that the upgrade path is fairly straight forward and the weak points in the A34x transmission have been established. If you put boost to it you'll probably want a...

I'm from Indiana. In the middle of the midwest, as noted in my bio. The Jeep AW-4 used in literally millions of Jeep XJ Cherokees, MJ Comanches, and ZJ Grand Cherokees is in fact an Aisin A340F and shares considerable parts interchangeability with the A343. Essentially the big differences are...

I sure am. She's a gem. And she's gonna stay that way.

The Toyota A series automatic is well supported. A good rebuilder would have no problems with this transmission as it is a relatively well known and straight forward transmission. It has been found, in various forms with somewhat minor internal differences throughout various toyotas and sold in...
