How have others mounted their mobile radios and GPS units?
I have a 90 HDJ81 and am looking for mounting ideas for the faceplate of my Kenwood 710GA and Garmin GPS. I've considered a mounting post I can bolt near my shifter in front of the console before my dash.
What ingenuity have you seen...
'90 HDJ81. Having some issues with my trusty factory winch. With the price od other winches today, has anyone found a good non-factory replacement winch, i.e. Warn, Ramsey, etc., that would fit in the same factory location?
If so, since I live in Vancouver BC, (Rainy) Im concerned any other...
'90 HDJ81 factory winch being temperamental and needing some TLC. when under load, I am unable to release the load on the line to reposition my pull. It will when under no load, but no joy with a reasonable amount of tension. no clicking just silence? Is this a relay or my gears binding...
Hello, I need one and looking for a North American part number to cross over the non NA # 16210-17040 or 16210-17010
Has anyone found a suitable part number for the HDJ81 Napa would find useful...
I have a 1990 HDJ81 which had a good working AC.
What’s the problem?
AC does not blow cold air and the compressor does not turn on. When I engage the AC, all appears correct on the dash, fan comes on and lights on controls are on. But cold air never appears. I noticed the compressor doesn’t...

OK I’m stumped. There is no power to the bulb sockets on my two brake lights when I press on the brake, or my park lamps when I turn on the park lights. Also, I cannot get my shifter out of park when I press the brake, have to use the red button.
Fuse is OK, replaced it...
How feasible would it be to wire both my 12V batteries in parallel to power my truck, specifically my factory winch. It seems a waste to not provide double the current to my winch but I don't wish to interfere with my 24 starting system. Has anyone done this?
90 HDJ81 with factory winch. What are the factors that may reduce the pull strength of a factory winch? I went to use it for the first time and found it’s pull no what I would expect from this winch. I’ve used other winches so I have a feel for winch strength and this one seems to stall far...
Radio and Power Windows have no power. Fuses are good and relays in
Driver’s side kick panel (Relay Block No. 1 Power Main Relay) are good. Where else could I look?
So what’s changed? I was checking the relays in the kick panel while troubleshooting another problem. Fixed that problem...
Hello, first time doing the rear brakes on my '90 HDJ81 and I've run into a snag. I cannot get the sliding main pin out of the sliding bushing on my rear torque plate. It is it possible the pin in seized in the bushing turning the bushing in the rear plate? It takes a lot of effort to turn...
Hello, I recently replaced my back doors on my HDJ81 due to some "trail damage" :doh:
My replacement upper door does not have the factory visor that holds the high level tailgate brake light. How do I remove this visor from the old upper back door and fasten it to the new one? The FSM I...
I need a replacement motor for my truck. Anywhere in the Fraser Valley, BC I could find one of these? Are they the same motor found in a 90 4Runner?
Part number of the motor is a bit smudge but it appears to be:
B5720-600?0
?2100-?7
Also what's the trick to getting this motor removed...
Is this a common issue with these TLCs? What is it that causes my windows to go slow in the winter months? When I connect 12v power directly at the switch from my motorcycle batter it moves quicker but still labours on the way up. I can understand cooler weather can contract things but at +5C...
Hello, I have a '90 HDJ81 that's developed a parasitic draw that will drain both batteries in about 4 days. What I need to know is what is the draw pulled when the truck is off for computer, clock etc?
When I connect my 10A meter between my neg terminal on driver's battery and negative post I...
Hi, what would cause the cooler in my console to blow warm air not cool air? It had always worked, then suddenly stopped. My regular AC works well. I've searched but haven't found an answer. :confused:
Hello again. My mechanic, located in Kamloops BC, is rebuilding my front hubs. He informs me of trouble sourcing a set of drive axles for my "locked" front end. I have the VX limited with full time and diff locks. He can source the ones for a non locking hub but that doesn't help me...
Hello, I am experiencing an occasional loud growling/grinding/rubbing from the front suspension while driving under 50km/h. It’s happened 5 times today and appears random. I have taken the truck on the hwy and all “feels” good while driving. No pull, vibration, shutter etc. while rolling or...
