It also depends on the trim level and spec of the vehicle. I have 2 x Late 1992 cruisers and the grey colour is the same but the textures and patterns of the door cards are different.

No, the rear axle housings have slightly different shapes to the gasket area between the E-locker differentials and the LSD differentials. I think that you can relieve the opening on a non loader diff housing but it would be best to get a gasket for the e-locker differential and see how much...

When the TPS is fitted you have to drop it in in the correct position to get the operating lever on the right side of the TPS. Then turn the TPS back to line it up with the mounting screws. Then turn TPS never sits at the zero position. If it is not in the correct position you will not get...

Well bugger.Sorted it out. There is enough metal to drill the hole in the correct place. Drilled a hole in the Template washer and used a 6mm Rivnut and a suitable bolt to make sure that things will be rock solid. More pictures to come. Works really good and isn’t too slow.

How many Kms has this motor done. Those bit of metal don’t look right. One of them looks like a chunk of rust. They do not look like shavings from a wear surface. Do you have a magnetic sump plug. If not then I would recommend one. That will collect all the free metal pieces in the same...

New body, raptor coated Blue. New engine, new BEB’s

My truck doesn’t have the factory flares anymore. I welded a bit of 1/4” flat bar at the front of the wing. My mud flaps are 3/8” conveyor belt cut to shape and bolted to the flat bar. They extend up into the wheel arch to cover the hole between the bar and the body. Like in this picture...

If everything was Ok and you haven’t filled the alternator with mud lately then my money would be on the Alternator brushes being the problem. An easy fix and cheaper than a replacement alternator. It is even possible to replace the brushes without removing the alternator if you are a bit flexible.

Check to see if you are getting 24V at the starter motor when trying to crank the motor. When the truck is just sitting without the engine running the batteries are connected in Parallel. Measuring voltage at either battery will give the same result. If it wont crank and you aren’t getting...

I recently replaced the BEB on my 1HDT engine. First replacement was at 120,000 km when i bought it in NZ. It was a JDM import to NZ. Replaced the BEB again at 375.000km No5 was similar to the one above. Not so much wear but missing a small section of bearing material maybe 1/8” in diameter...

A valve body is only going to be a sticking plaster on the slipping transmission. Might buy some time but a rebuild is in the near future. Most 1991 cruisers had the fully Hydraulic A442. There are 2 ways to tell. Fully hydraulic box has a shifter quadrant with 123D. Electronic A442 has 12D...

G - Could indicate Luxury Wagon N - Boot Lift up P - 4 speed Automatic E - OHC - EFI K - Canada Market or G - Mystery code N - Boot Lift up P - 4 speed Automatic E - VX K - DOHC, EFI Sometimes you have to look at the truck to decide where the codes align with the equipment to sort out all of...

GNPEKA is a code that indicates the level of trim for your production Model. For example HDJ81V-RNPGX is the code for mine which is a top JDM spec model. Has cloth seats, Leather wrapped shifter knobs and steering wheel. 3 x diff locks, Center console fridge, Cruise control, and parcel shelf...

Wholesale Automatics have a range of suitable units and I believe they have a US agent. Might be just as cheap to get one direct from them.

My truck had the BEB replaced at purchase secondhand in NZ. At 120,000 km I had them replaced again at 380,000 km and it was time to do it. No 5 bearing was looking a bit sad. No symptoms like loss of oil pressure or ticking. Replaced them because the mechanic was installing a WAT billet...
