    Frame rust class action lawsuit

    Moral of the story is to pressure wash your Toyota truck's underside after wheeling and especially after the snow melts.

    Need Help with Possible Seized 3B

    I think the truck sat for a long time. So when the PO fired it up, some corrosion or something in the 1000 year old filter broke free. Just guessing. I changed the oil and filter in the first few days of ownership. I drove for about 6 months then wham - it seized one morning. I used this generic...

    That's crazy. Glad you could save the crank. I have the same fused brg material. But that brg is already at .050. So the crank was previously machined. Didn't know that when I bought the truck. :mad: Anyways, I brought the engine to the rebuilder yesterday and they'll check everything.

    Wanna keep my 3B. 🔧 Going to bring it to the machine shop this week. They will measure how much they have to take off the crank. Hopefully it is salvageable.

    Thank you, those are good points. The oil pickup seemed ok after a quick look. But I will check all oil passsages during rebuild. Going to shop for a crank tomorrow. A friend gave me the name of a machine shop that I will also call.

    So the mystery is solved. #1 crank brg destroyed. Along with crank. Friend thinks oil pump failed and the brg dried up. Then chewed up crank. I'm going to order a new oil pump, brgs and piston rings. The head and everything else is beautiful. My question for the experts is "Should I turn the...

    Finally got the engine out. Had to bring to friend's garage. Took off front cover and center gear. Everything looks beautiful. Put bar back on crank and engine still won't turn by hand. Gotta be a cylinder. Head comes off tomorrow and we'll see what or where the damage is. Guess I'll be...

    That's encouraging. I'm gonna order a clutch and seals etc. and do this in the spring. Really think it's in the flywheel area. Thanks

    I hope to drop the tranny this weekend and have a look. But I never have time to work on it. I'll update this post when I find out.

    Do you mean the crankshaft is locked. Or just the shifter is locked? My engine won't turn but the gearshift works ok.

    Thanks for that. I guess the only way I'm gonna resolve this is by separating the tranny. Will remove front clip and front engine cover just to inspect gears. But engine is so clean I'm sure it's in the clutch area. Once the clip is off and I've eliminated the front gears being messed up, I'll...

    Battery light on after alternator replacement new belt and 2 yr old battery

    I bought a rebuilt Denso from RockAuto and the voltage drops when stopping/idling. No lights and no audible effect. But I don't like seeing the voltmeter drop like a speedometer. It goes right up when driving so it's charging. Long story short - Sometimes you get a dud. I bought a rebuild kit...

    I tried rotating in both directions. Used quite a bit of force. Didn't go too crazy though. Maybe 40 ft. lbs of tq. It won't budge.

    Yeah I'm hoping it's clutch related. It's logical from what I'm seeing. The innards look pristine. I bet the geartrain is pristine too. It was running like a top. I'd also rather attack the clutch than remove the head or front cover unnecessarily. I was just hoping somebody would have recognised...

    Tried that - crank won't budge an inch. Coolant level is full. It has been eating a bit of oil but I've been keeping an eye on it. The level was normal.

    Looking for help diagnosing with what I think is a seized engine. I drove home one day and parked. The BJ was running with no issue. (BJ42 4 speed). The next morning I glowed and it cranked. I got a puff of smoke and just a click whenever turning the key afterwards. Actually it was more of a...
