This place had everything I needed to make up the swap hoses. No affiliation, but great customer service too.

At 45mph, air flow is sufficient to cool the radiator core without fan consideration. Low speed operation is where the debate exists on electric vs. mechanical. At highway speeds, core stack thickness, frontage area, construction materials, and air flow are the real considerations in effective...
I ran a stock all brass radiator with electric fans on my L92/6L80 swap for about a year. It never overheated, but got up into the mid 220's while towing a 1,500 pound off road trailer out west (temps in the mid to high 90's). Decided to drop the coin on the Ron Davis radiator, shroud, and...
I purchased the setup from RPM Extreme. It's a simple 4 wire install and works great. The hard part in doing it yourself is grabbing the correct canbus signal for the relay. I had neither the time or skill set to go after that. Money well spent if you ask me...
@OffRoadScott here's a link to the page that documents most of the build:

My swap had a 6L80 which uses the canbus for the trans position signal. I did not bother figuring out how to send those signals to the stock Toyota dash transmission indicator lights , but incorporated a relay off the canbus to power the reverse lights.
Happy LS Gen IV PSI stand alone harness customer here. Couldn't have been an easier experience and installation. The guys at PSI were very helpful, super experienced on swap questions, and provide a great product with excellent follow up support. No affiliation, but I'd definitely buy from them...
Yes, started at the cross member to position everything. The Mark's adapter kept the HF2A transfer case in the OEM position, which was attractive to me. However, I utilized a 6L80E, so it may be different for the 4L trans. The guys at Mark's were very easy to deal with and super helpful in...
Couldn't find any when I started my LS swap on a 91 FJ80 in early 2021. Not saying they aren't out there, but I couldn't find them. Weld in ones are abundant if you have access to a welder or know someone who can weld for you.
I ended up going with the ones that came with the Mark's adapter...
If memory serves me correctly, the CDL wiring comes through the IH1 or IH2 connector (at least on my 1991 80). These connectors are located behind the glove box, high up on the firewall. If you have an EWD for your 93, it should be easy to figure out which wires they are by color and pin...
Out of curiosity, why would the ref require the VATS to be on? Its sole purpose is to disable the vehicle from thieves. Fairly certain it has nothing to do with emissions, other than being tied to the fuel pump cut off? Am I missing something here?
Pretty much have everything buttoned up on the L92/6L80E swap. Finished up the wiring and last few miscelaneous issues. The truck heads off to the exhaust shop this week for mandrel bent stainless system. Had to add a little hybrid swap twist to the "Voretc" engine cover. :hillbilly:
There are a few options to get signals to the factory gauges. Wit's End sells an OEM Toyota water temp sending unit that is turned down and re-threaded for the LS port on the cylinder head. This is super easy and plugs directly into the original Toyota harness to the temp gauge...
If using a 6L80E, you'll need to get a module that picks up the canbus signal and generates a +12V signal for the reverse lights. This is one of the options, but there's other choices out there too.

Saw a couple swaps...
Thanks for that link. Saw a similar one at Zero Gravity when I started to dig into that question:

Seems a bit steep for something that picks up a canbus signal and sends it to...
With 35's and the stock 4.10 gearing, that should net 1,975 RPM at 75MPH in 6th gear. That's assuming they are a true 35" tire. Might be a few RPM higher as most 35's are between 34" and 35".
