I’m not sure what it was. It was a very dark brown almost black color but I completely flushed the system and added red atf and now it’s a dark red. Steering wheel still feels stiff and like nothing changed.

Yes they do. It goes down at idle further than it did before I took it into the shop and had the throttle body cleaned but the average oil pressure while driving is still the same. I also replaced it with new power steering fluid and new Red ATF fluid as an experiment, and it’s still pretty stiff.

Ok I’ll make sure to buy an OEM Toyota part thanks for letting me know. Now is the car safe to drive? Or even ok to daily drive around town for the next week or so? There is a Land Cruiser 3rd party specialty shop which is about an hour and half down the interstate. Or can it get “even worse”...

No I haven’t done anything much to the vehicle since I bought it a few months ago. Yes the PS reservoir reads full when hot. I’m going to flush the system tomorrow and see what difference it makes. Then probably get a new power steering pump and see if there is any difference.

I’m running 35 inch tires with a 2 inch OME lift. If it was bad bearings wouldn’t it be bad all the time? Or at least not only when I’m at high speeds and turning?

How did you end up finding out it was the yellow box?

Yeah I drove it up the canyon and back down that it died in 2 weeks ago and had zero problems. Morning cold starts also result in the RPM’s dropping much faster and it idles smoother now at stoplights. Now I’m trying to figure out the stiff steering problem. I could really feel it driving at...

It says : THROTTLE VALVE HOUSING - Remove & Replace/cleaning. 1.30 Hours $181.94

I think he just took off the intake and accessed it that way. I’ve been driving it today and seems to be just fine going from 60mph down to a stop and not skipping around at all while idle. No he didn’t replace anything, just cleaned it. Now I’m trying to figure out the stiff steering problem...

The mechanic at the shop I took it to told me that when he got it to turn back on it had a really low idle and was constantly on the verge of fully shutting off. So he inspected and looked for any vacuum leaks and didn’t find anything. When he took the throttle body off and cleaned it out, the...

Doesn’t have a build date on it but the import papers say 1992-10. The EGR has been deleted on it. And it does have an alarm system but it’s never worked.

Yeah the shop says they are trying to source a new gauge or solder it. Should the gauge be interchangeable between USDM and JDM?

I’m having some problems with my 1992 RHD import and looking to see if anyone has any wisdom or advice. I recently had my LC just simply not start. Not even an attempt to turn over. Just a click and every warning light coming on. It was completely out of the ordinary and had to have it towed...

I know this is like 12 years after the fact but my 1992 I just imported from Japan is having the exact same problem. Did you ever figure it out? I had mine stall out and die driving down a mountain canyon and had been in a shop for the past 2 weeks but the speedometer and odometer failed right...

Yes it does. Along with rear heat and adjustable suspension.
