Update. I cleaned all the battery terminals and lugs, cleaned and checked all the battery and chassis ground wires, tightened the alternator connectors and checked all the fuses. Nothing helped. Then I checked the power at the alternator fuse, and it was less than a volt while running, even...

It's charging great. 14.5V

Hey folks. I just finished rebuilding my engine after a rod bearing failure and am now having some confusing dash light issues. I have the trans temp light, timing belt light, fuel filter light, and both boost lights on all the time. I was thinking that I missed a ground wire, which i had, but...

I was not aware you could still buy the crank from Toyota. You mean Toyota in the US? Or from Japan? I fully plan to put upsized ARP head studs in while doing the rebuild. I always used ARP studs when building my high HP Volvo engines. We also used Cometic MLS head gaskets on all the turbo...

Ran across this thread in my searchings and thought I would attempt to bring it back to life. Do any of y'all have updates from the last few years? Super curious.

Gotcha. That's what I was wondering. How much are they topped? Getting ready to tear an engine down and measure everything soon.

Can you please explain what Pre-topped pistons means? Are the piston tops machined down to lower comp ratio? Thanks

Hey there Donnerpassing. There were no symptoms before the tick started. Truck runs great. Just drove it 2600 miles across the country pulling a 4500lb trailer with no engine issues at all. Oil changes every 5k miles. Everything was peachy. I was 20 minutes into a drive, engine fully warmed up...

Hey y'all. So, I put off replacing my BEB's for too long, and it bit me in the butt today. I was 20 miles from home and started hearing a strange ticking sound. I limped it to my buddies shop, but it was too late. I pulled the oil pan and found #6 rod bearings had spun, and the crankshaft...

Hey there friends. My wife and I have been driving for 4 days from one rocket city to another. We are moving from Washington to Huntsville Alabama, and are only 200 miles away and just had the AC belt come apart and throw chunks into the radiator ripping some tubes away from the end tank...

Thanks!!

Thanks for the heads up. We are definitely not in the nicer part of Memphis. The rad is aluminum. So no soldering on this one. A tig torch would do the trick, but mine is on a moving truck somewhere. I'm really hoping that letting the jb weld set overnight will work and get me home.

Thank you. I'll be making several phone calls in the morning. I appreciate it!! And if any of you here in Memphis have one they don't need, I'll take it.
