    Engine Options?

    My '70, see avatar, has a 1966 Chevy 292 straight 6. That particular engine has always been a problem. It does not cool properly, never did, for 30 years. I suspect clogged coolant passages were not cleaned when it was rebuilt in 1980. It has a possible bearing knock sound under certain...

    Rear Diff evaluation

    This is a new thread that follows up on the first. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rear-diff-1970-noisy-question.1335018/#post-15411372 I took the cover off the reaf diff on my 1970. Briefly I had a vibration at highway speed in the diff. Tightening the castle nut on the flange "fixed" that...

    Rear Diff. 1970, Noisy, question

    I have too much noise and vibration on the highway. It has for years. It is not a grinding type of thing but a harmonic and out of balance type of thing. My rear diff has about 10* of radial slop on the drive line. The U-Joints are tight. I noticed vertical and horizontal play on the...

    1992 LC Code 71 Frustrating.

    Truck made 7-92. I have been getting a code 71 that appears after several starts, stops, and about 100 miles. I have replaced temperature sensors, tubing, checked voltages, resistance, checked for leaks with the flammable spray method. The tubing is all open and free. I have cleaned the...

    '92 Calif version Code 71

    I get a code 71 after several trips. I have gone through the ERG systems and repaired/replaced several parts. All of the EGR parts check OK. In the factory manual I noticed second trip logic between the EGR gas temp sensor and the coolant temp must be in certain parameters or the 71 code...

    My original bumper has the license plate mounted on the passenger side. See my avatar. I just got a NOS bumper. The license plate bracket holes on the drivers' side. I looked up internet images and they show the license plate on the passenger side when present. Toyota 52111-60030 Was I...

    Kill switch?

    I have an extra Toyota OEM dome light switch. I could install it to the left of the hazard light switch. There is a blank that covers an unused hole in that position. The switch could operate a relay to arm or disable ignition. I was thinking of using the relay to interrupt or grounds the...

    Battery drain

    2007 4-Runner. If leave the ignition on, but engine off, like when waiting for someone, and listening to the radio, the battery drains in 10 min. Then the car will not start. The battery is in good shape, 3-YO. Normally the car always starts with authority. When so drained I get a click...

    '92 LC Code 71

    This is resisting repair. 71 means, "30 seconds from start of EGR operation, EGR gas temp. is less than 100* C (212* F) with coolant temp less than 60*C (140* F) or more, 2nd trip detection logic" I have replaced the various VSV valves, the EGR temp sensor, and the old associated tubing. I...

    Insurance Companies?

    I have a '92 LC also. I have a regular insurance policy with a mainstream company (Amica) on the 92. I just changed the 1970 to Hagerty. Hagerty has a program where you can retain a totaled vehicle. Amica does not. IN the past I was lowballed on a vehicle that was totaled. Blue book on...

    Tow bar or trailer

    I want to transport my 1970 140 miles to a restoration shop. It may or may not stay there after being assessed and a proposal is made. I can borrow a F150 size truck. I like the tow bar idea. Is there any reason not to do it that way? Who sells suitable tow bars? I was planning on...

    1970 Brake assembly procedure, spring locations?

    As I inspect and adjust my brakes I see a discrepancy. Do the shoe return springs go both under or one under and one over the shoe? My manual possibly indicates the rear spring is under and the front is over. A youtube video shows one over one under. The last guy put both of the springs...

    1970 FJ 40 brakes

    I have not worked on these brakes for 30 years. So, I decided to fix it. Easy peasy right? I started on the passenger front. I could not get purchase on the adjuster notches with a screwdriver. I took it all apart and freed up the adjusters. I discovered the guy before me did not...

It need the same plug-socket. Radios with the same face plate did not all have the same plug in the back. Short of that I...

    This is really weird.

    1992 Land Cruiser IF I leave the AC Fan in the on position, turn off the key, take the key with me, and exit the vehicle. IF I open the lift gate, the AC Blower comes on and I hear a birdie noise under the steering column. Closing the lift gate turns it off. If I open either front door...

    Massive AM radio interference, maddening

    92 Land Cruiser, Original radio. I normally only listen to AM. I am not interested in a new head unit or modern digital solutions. The radio works great with engine off. It is very sensitive and receives distant AM stations well. When running there is a loud ignition type noise. It...

    What is the correct resistance of the EGR temp sensor when cold? I get 0.24 megs. It was a split year, mine appears to be the early one. Toyota # 8941250010. I did the diagnostic flow chart. California model. The VSVs , EGR valve, EGR vaccum modulator, all check out.

    Radio interference '92 LC

    My original radio has interference that sounds like a spark plug wire. The wires, plugs, and rotor and nearly new. The volume of the interference varies by throttle position, not RPM. The static is non-existent with my foot of the pedal and gets loud when I floor it. Any ideas? I was...
