    Anyone try WoolWax yet?

    Just checking - you were able to coat your 80 with the three spray cans?

    ok it's a sickness picked up a nice lx450 today

    The passenger seat on my 80 wouldn't move, I forget if I fixed it with one of these or an OEM part. Gamiviti seat repair parts

    New owner - Rescued 80

    Yeah, I'd take the paint and stereo off the "short list" for now, change the ATF - Diff/TC fluid - PSF - fan clutch oil. Sounds like you are a better wrench than me, and I found that stuff to be cake. Makes you feel better, too, and the truck always seems happier, whether it makes any...

    MAF Aluminum Radiator - I need one Fast!

    I don't know anything about it/them, but CCOT has an all-metal rad, I think.

    Dynamat question

    I did like NLX and put it on the inside of the skin and replaced the vapor barrier. Supposed to have some thermal insulation value as well. Gives the doors a more solid thunk when they shut. Get some Windex and clean off the inside of the sheet metal first.

    landtank MAF install help (Real Time)

    A. There is a white locking tab that holds the wires in place. You gently pry/slide it back and it releases the connectors and they slide right out. Don't pull them out with pliers. B. Rick has directions in .jpg, I bet he might send them to you if you ask extra nice.

    power steering fluid ok instead of ATF??

    Just switched from RedLine D4 ATF to the PSF and now it groans like the old Caprice I had. No knock on RedLine, got it everywhere else, just going back to the ATF. The PSF seemed a lot less viscous than the ATF.

    Got bored, so I bedlined the bumpers and grille....

    Looks nice - especially the blacked out grill. What kind of liner is that?

    Feels like a new 80 to me.......

    That is a nice truck. Aggressive but in a subtle way.

    LANDTANK performance MAF housing - Feedback request

    Sorry that I tried to start a new identical thread, I guess I missed this one. I'm pretty happy with it. Driving is a little more pleasant with what seem like better power and a smoother engine. MPG is up about 10% based upon my numbers and the ScanGauge. I don't have a lot of data, but the...

    Help: LX450 Radio harness wiring 2 versions

    Booming bass? Hadn't heard it described in an 80, but a common issue in the early 100's (like my 2001) was a "booming bass" where the amp would crank out max bass no matter how you set the levels. Couldn't listen to anything and enjoy it with the sound hammering away at you. It required...

    landtank MAFs - my experience, what is yours?

    I have had mine in for several days, and I was hoping others could give their impressions. Don’t know why this didn’t come up in the other mileage / power improvement threads. (Although using magnets and atomized cat urine to achieve 35mpg is tempting.) Installation was a snap and the truck...

    Changed tranny oil today

    That is all you will get out through the drain plug. Find the thread that describes the transmission fluid exchange. It is pretty easy. Check your level first, then set it up to drain your outflow into a gallon container, when it is full, put four qts back in, repeat several times.

    Rear main seal / PHH combo?

    I am getting my rear main seal fixed as part of the purchase agreement. It seems like that would make the PHH more accessible. I'm wondering if it makes sense to offer him $50 to replace it during that other work. I could also pay a Toyota shop to do it during a coolant flush, it'd...

    Hoping for bushing replacment advice.

    I was considering that, I had polyurethane sway bar bushings on another car and the squeaking if I didn't keep them greased annoyed me. I think Slee's are polyester, right? How are they? Change the ride at all?

    Hoping for bushing replacment advice.

    Before I get into a situation where I am wasting Dan’s time, I was hoping for some advice from the community. I have baselined the big girl’s fluids, and I’d like to do the same to most of the suspension. I plan on replacing the springs/shocks/steering damper. I’m thinking that the bushings...

    Transmission service

    RavenTai's method is great, even for a 0.05:banana: like me, no need to put it off. Take it slow, turn from one side to the other, then refill. Otherwise air gets sucked in. I put 4qts D4 ATF through it for good measure. CDOC on eBay, located in VA, can get you Redline stuff fast. I'm in NC...

    Anybody use Dyna Beads?

    Do you just dump them into the tire during mounting? Then there is no need to balance with weights? Will most tire shops put them in for you? Obviously I don't know much about these things, but I've heard they work well. Thanks. Edit: Great minds.....

    Gas Pedal 'Feel' ???

    My pedal had a very stiff, choppy feel to it, really tough to smoothly modulate. I called Dan about the throttle cable, and he guided me to the accelerator cable, which I replaced, and now it is perfect. Not sure if this is the same as what you are talking about.

    Sound dampening material for our 80

    I tried that Peel & Seal / FatMat; the reason that it is so cheap: it is asphalt based roofing material. So it stinks like asphalt, which most people do not enjoy for extended periods. It also seems to loose adhesion in very cold and very hot weather. My experience with DynaMat (I have...
