    ABS Alarm and Dash Light On

    I just got a call from the mechanic. He says he got the alarm cleared and hasn't returned. It sounds like we have the same issue krice - I'm going to keep an eye on it. That and start saving for a new ABS Master Cylinder and when it goes just drop it in. Who knows the mechanic said the pump had...

    ABS Alarm and Dash Light On

    I recently had my rear breaks done and a couple of days later an alarm (high pitch tone) and an ABS dash light came on. Tech stream says ABS pump presser etc… I take it back to my mechanic that did the breaks and he says it’s an ABS control module. He also says its $3500 or more to fix. First...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Any of the AHC Stuff still working? Would you let loose of any of it?

    The 100 Series Truck or Towboat?

    After repairing the AC I took the family on a 6 day camping / sailing adventure. Four passengers, a 16 foot camper, two bikes, a sailboat and tons of gear for a week. Not a wimpier. She is setting a bit low in this pic as she was in the LO position. I will need to "stiffen-up" the rear with...

    Can I pull the AC compressor on a 1998 LX 470 without removing the axle?

    Thanks Tim! Just a note and follow-up for the group. I completed the the compressor swap with no issues and with relative ease (ease as it relates to a 23 year-old LX 470 lol). There were issues but, not with the removal or re-install. Just follow Tim's tool guide and recommendations. The wobble...

    The Great Oil Debate Synthetic, Semi, or Traditional

    So I'm at my sometime mechanic / Toyota Guru talking about changing my ac compressor when I ask a very simple question. That question it seems is one of great debate. You see I'll be removing the oil filter to get the compressor out and wanted to make sure I had a quart or two on hand to top off...

    Windshield Repair Kit, Do or Don't?

    Sounds like I'm good then. this is literally 1/4 of a dime size or less. Just don't want it spreading when the windshield starts heating up and cooling down this winter. Good to hear you had success.

    Windshield Repair Kit, Do or Don't?

    Question: Am I the only one that feels incredibly bad when we do something to our 100's that could have been avoided? A paint chip? A ding? In my case, I won't get into the details, but I put an every so small crescent crack in my windshield. O.K. I'll tell you, I was working on my rack when one...

    ECU Swap for Key Replacements

    Ordered my keys tonight 1 OEM master with fob, one OEM sub and a non-OEM cheapo master to have for emergencies. I’ll reprogram the current valet once the new master is paired with the ECU. Cheers!

    ECU Swap for Key Replacements

    So I only have one valet key to my 1998 LX 470. I've done my homework and it looks like Mauser is the resident expert. He has offered to send my a "virginized" EÇU to swap with my existing one so I can add a couple of master keys. I found the ECU with no problem (and discovered I need to change...

    Torsion Adjustment Location and TechStream Issues

    Still struggling a bit myself... I can get it to run long enough to reset a code but, that's about it. I'm planing on giving it some love this weekend. I'll let you know. Cheers.

    100 series R&R AC Compressor

    Flint has been a real help. Anytime I put something out there he is usually the first one with info and is never condescending. There is a lot to learn about our trucks even for experienced wrenchers... these trucks will soon go the way of the 80’s and the 60’s and the 40’s before them, the...

    Can I pull the AC compressor on a 1998 LX 470 without removing the axle?

    Thanks I saw this one - actually these guys inspired me lol! Though If you listen closely they are discharging the system into the atmosphere... LOL. I don't think you're suppose to do that! Otherwise good video and the definition of "shade tree mechanic" in any culture.

    Can I pull the AC compressor on a 1998 LX 470 without removing the axle?

    Yeah I was afraid this one might be a bit out of my league - My mechanic quoted about $1200 to do everything (compressor, dryer, charged). He said it was a bit of a process. Perhaps I'll have him evacuate the system. I'll confirm but I think he did that when I had him check it out a couple of...

    Can I pull the AC compressor on a 1998 LX 470 without removing the axle?

    Great advice. I never attempted this job on any vehicle so I'm a bit nervous - You recommend taking to a shop instead of buying my own vacuum and gauges? I've heard both opinions - we have another 80 series and a Subaru that needs AC work - thought it might be a good addition to the shop.

    100 series with 283,000mi, what should I offer?

    We really do have a cheap fuel advantage - but I’d trade you for that turbo diesel ;)

    100 series with 283,000mi, what should I offer?

    I'm new to the 100 game and a former Jeep Head for many years. I did months of research before buying mine. Probably more research on a truck than I've ever done. The prices are all over the place so you really have to know what you're looking at when you walk up. Some sellers are riding the...

    1999 LX - Did I pay too much?

    Same here. Though I think it has aged well. The color change in the light is kind of unique.
