Anyone have a part number for the engine harness?

I am getting ready to build up a new Toyota short block and want to streamline it as much as possible. I have most items needed to complete the transfer of parts from the old engine to the new short block.. I am keeping the old head if it checks out ok. I know I've read on here somewhere about...

I just installed drivers side fix on my LX. Easy fix. Little fiddly getting the bottom screw lined up. Solved shake. Good show!

I am in the process of designing a solid state device that will replace the clicking relay. It can be wired in permanently and will keep the ECU satisfied and "Ready" Since my state does not do inspections and since the 4.7K resister is working well I am not bothering on a solid state device;

I have a '97 LX450. Baselining started. New OEM shocks, Front OEM brake pads, New OEM seals, OEM wheel bearings, OEM trunion bearings, Moly grease etc.,dist. O ring, valve cover gasket, Flush diffs, transfer, transmission, Brake lines, new plugs and OEM wires and distributer cap/ rotor, radiator...

My 09 LC has 21 LX570 wheels and tires as shown in post 12 above. The PO swapped the original 18" wheels and tires for these. Ride is great! Speedo is spot on, Odo reads 3% slow so have to correct mileage driven by 3% to get accurate MPG. I am looking on returning back to 18" wheels.

Watching and waiting and hoping to order one soon.

I changed the starter on my 2009 at 136000 miles as a precaution. I ordered a new one from Olathe Toyota parts then took the old one to a local shop for rebuilding. Same time I ordered the starter, I ordered a new solenoid. Local "good" shop could not find any brushes for the starter as they...

Old post I know, but forever problem. I used the tiger tool successfully as well as the companion "C" clamp to reassemble. Worked GREAT! A bit pricey but doable. $99.00 for each tool, worth it in my book.

Followup. The brushes are crimped/soldered into the brush housing. I went to Amayama with the USA part number and purchased the assembly which includes new field windings for $122.00 shipped from UAE. 5 days and it was here. I have a like new on shelf spare starter for a 200 series with new...

Not with the Gen5 engines and direct injection. Yeah the older versions were troublesome. It can be removed fairly easily if necessary. I daily drive a 2015 Silverado for work with a 5.3 gen 5 and I love it.

Hardly, when I say Limited Offroad, I don't live in Colorado and or Moab but when I go there I do off road the trails/mountain passes, hard to do with an LS/Alvalon.... Long drives pulling a trailer to get there from Oklahoma as well.

Since I am in the planning stages of a 6.2L Gen5 swap into my LX450 I am anxiously waiting on results of the new idler gear. I want to do the 9% overdrive to help out with the final drive ratio since I will have plenty of power available. I plan to keep Displacement on Demand and look to get...
