South Park I drove my 80 on that loop several years ago, no problem at all, it was a great drive. But since then two jeeps have gone over the side at chicken rock, breaking down the bank and narrowing the road even worse than it was. google "chicken rock south park". I ran across a post that...

Too Tight I double nutted my new studs and tourqed them to the nut torque (22 ft-lbs) and ended up stripping out the hub threads. There is no stop for the studs so I managed to suck the stud shoulder right through the first few hub threads. I ended up buying a new hub. I installed my new hub...

Real time help. I popped out combo meter since I was almost there on a project and I have a couple of bulbs out. Trouble is I don't know which is which, Neither the FSM or Electric Manual have a physical sketch of the panel. Is there a way to pick up the bulb check relay or is there a diagram...

Go Easy Your intuition is correct. FSM calls for 26 ft-lbs which is way overkill. I just stripped a brand new OEM stud in a brand new hub by following FSM torque. All that is really required is to seat the cone washers and hold them in place, there is minimal axial load on the flange.

Afterthought Try and salvage the pieces of the clip just in case the numbers don't work, I seem to recall it took two tries to get the right part from the dealer. Even the color of the plastic is good info, they are color coded for diff types.

Plastic Clip Had the same problem on my 96. There is a plastic keeper clip that holds a link rod in a metal plate. Took 10 min & $2.50 to replace. Saved the tag, try one of these Toyota part numbers; 69293-12040 or AE6605K. While your at it get an extra, is a nusance to happen in the middle...

Thanks.

Have run across pin 7 mod instructions several times before. Now that I need it after installing CDL switch, I of course can't find it. Could someone help me out?

What size is your stock subtank? Do you know if your 80 was sold new in Calif? I presume you have had the existing setup smogged in Calif. Passing smog test in Calif is the major issue for any fuel tank mods. The cool stuff that others have done with fuel tanks may not be an option for those of...

I had the same issue with my Kymar install and tried to live with it but coudn't hack it. I replaced the 4 bolts that hold the isolator mounting bracket to the frame with longer bolts that must of come off the OEM bumper. I shimmed the bracket with 2 oversize nuts per bolt, which moved the tail...

2F or not 2F Why did you decide to stick with the 2F and not a conversion? I am facing the same decision my self and have talked myself in and out of both options several times (74/40-F). Also what distributor is that and what is your carb?
