    Purchasing on MUD using paypal as a gift, BUYER BEWARE!

    Any cams on your business property or neighborhood that might have picked up the delivery guy that day? If I were a suspicious man and I thought there was any way at all the delivery guy could know it was an item gifted, then I'd see him as the sly character. He'd know there would be useless...

    No Drive, only 1st, 2nd .. VSS?

    Minor update .. or major? I took the 80 to an import garage that people in the industry respect, and laid out all the behaviours I saw and they said ok, leave it with us we'll figure it out. They weren't supposed to be able to get to it until this Friday, but within an hour I received a call...

    And we'll bill my stealership for those ;-)s Now the huge totally redesigned dealership is making more sense. TY

    While hows this for a twist .. she broke What I appear to have is an intermittent electrical problem manifesting as a slippage. During my Truspeed bypass test drive the 80 worked great. Then hours later when I drove it a few miles to work the original behavior asserted itself immediately...

    crazy dash lights lx450

    I feel your pain. Somewhere along the way you probably created a temporary short in something tranny related. Could be a connector, or a wiring loom. But this is an electrical problem. I have it also .. thought I had it fixed, but not so. I'm going to look at the neutral safety switch next...

    Thats not a bad idea... Here is the .pdf for our vehicle , part # 33002 installation instructions Essentially it sits inline with the speed sensor signal, and takes that sensor's signal and tweaks it based on how you set it up for your larger tires, or gearing and then sends it on it's...

    Oh, and one more thing. I can't recall if it was the instruction, OR Landtank who suggested I build a connector when I installed the Truspeed so I could bypass it in the future if it failed, but that probably saved me all that cash because if it were not for the ability to pull it out of line...

    No Drive, only 1st, 2nd .. VSS?

    So it's been sitting at the dealership since Monday. I was to make a choice - have my tranny rebuilt to new, install a used tranny, or sell the truck as is... I chose none of the above. The mechanic rubbed me the wrong way entirely Monday when I inquired into whether he had done any electrical...

    Ok, I'll do the smell test. I did that yesterday and it threw all the 700 series codes, and I had the slipping in D. Nothing changed that during, or after...which by itself seems to not bode well. I did have L, and I can shift into 2nd, but once i shift to D it's 80% slippage :-(( I've gone...

    Also, are you confident that an electrical issue could produce what I can clearly feel is a slipping? It will move in drive, but 30 mph is going to put me up around 5k rpm, and it will feel as though maybe 15% of the power is getting to the wheels. Kinda like a clutch barely engaged, and...

    I wonder if the import place they were going to send it to for rebuilding could troubleshoot all that. I'd be very impressed if they would considering faking me out would garner $4000. :rolleyes: Can you walk me through testing these out myself: - the shifter position sender - the...

    Toyota mechanic is convinced she broke :-( Says its slipping a ton in drive. ODD though that the display gear selection lights went at the same time as this 'mechanical' slippage problem. $1600 used with $115K KMs $4000 mine rebuilt to new with 2 yr warranty Ideas? Maybe I should call...

    2ND gear works fine, as does L, just not D. I disconnected the solenoid harness and THEN it threw a bunch of 700 series codes. NO codes are being thrown in the current configuration. IE: harnesses all intact. I simply do not have drive AND BOTH "L" & "D" light up on the dash... Going to try...

    I can visualize the slot you're talking about and I'll check it out in the daylight, but would that explain this behaviour: P R N D - does NOT drive in drive, but 1ST instead! 2 L This is what I see: P R N L 2 L All gears light up appropriately EXCEPT 'drive' which barely lights up , if at...

    Hey, I was in the bush today with my wife, scouting around for tracks. We turned down a trail and when we saw it looked familiar we immediately stopped and I threw it in reverse to back out and look for a fresh trail. Unfortunately the trail was angled downwards and I think I braked...

    Inclinometer / Clinometer for Android

    What if he coupled it to hours instead? Turn it on when needed, then turn it off. After 10 hours of accumulated usage the app asks for upgrading. TY PS: Looks nice.

    Tool Box Camera Idea

    For the finicky portions maybe shoot a movie. I'm not sure that camera has sound so narrating is out, but does it do mpegs? Free up your mitts for wrenching. This all reminds me of electronics class in the early 80's. Guys would actually 'draw' their own exploded diagrams as they ripped...
