Update 9_20_21 Over the weekend I replaced the fuel return piping and sealing washers. I had previously replaced all the soft lines. Retorqued the injectors to spec. Replaced all the copper crush washers in the system. Starting issue is resolved. Good start from cold now with no stumbling or...

16-18 mpg is about the average.

I am not really interested in a trade at this point. Thanks.

Thanks Nick., I appreciate that. For some reason the Toyota just never made me love it. I like the truck, and since it's all dialed in, it a good driver. I just don't seem to have any real attachment to it. Now, that stupid air leak is about to drive me bonkers. About 2 months ago the first...

After much deliberation and back and forth, I am selling the truck. I just do not hardly drive it anymore and it's just sitting. I have already ruined one $300.00 battery by forgetting to keep it on the trickle charger. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/seattle-wa-1992-lj78-rhd.1262198/

Price $19,500.00 I have not been watching prices, so tell me if I am way off base here. I just know where I am in the truck and it's more than that for sure. Let's start with my build thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1992-lj78-build-refresh.1031347/ Photos: This is just a folder with...

I am using a 38MM. I suspect Don's is slightly big because he has the 2LT motor. I have never cross referenced the hoses between the 2lt and the LTE, but mine doesn't fit as tight as his at 38MM. I have a 92 LTE engine.

I can look later to verify. But, I believe that is the vacuum sensor on the air filter inlet.

Well, it's possible. They sometimes don't suffer from catastrophic failure. It just progressively gets worse. Honestly, if it were mine and it wasn't running hot, or bubbling the overflow tank when idling, I would just drive it and keep a close eye on it. Mine gave me a good long run where I...

Odds of a traditional "blown" head gasket are slim with these engines. Issue is the head itself cracking. So, you don't get the traditional oil/water mix most associate with a blown head gasket. What you get is combustion gases in the coolant. Lot's of air in the coolant is generally a symptom...

That, or a failing regulator. All the dash lights come on with high voltage as well.

Tie rods can definitely cause sway. But, based on your description I doubt it's that. My guess is going to be tires. You could have a sidewall failing allowing the tire to wallow as it moves side to side. This can cause some very strange feeling feedback. If you aren't getting any chatter or...

I've been definitely been quiet for a bit. Just busy with various other pursuits. I agree there are so many options I have ran across that we just don't have access to. I really like how yours turned out. Hopefully you have found something that will give you loads of service without getting...

Too much free time Nick! My Dobinsons are doing the same. And after having them on the truck for a couple of years now I am finding the quality might be lacking just a bit. I actually hardly drive my truck and the powdercoat has failed like crazy. And they have sagged more than I would like...

100% percent agree with @roscoFJ73 's and @roma042987 diagnosis. I have seen ,in very cool, high elevation ,downhill, engine overev situations an alarming amount of white smoke billowing out of an otherwise healthy engine. It's just not hot enough to burn the addl fuel the overrev from engine...
