question

I've had a DUI distributor sitting on the shelf for quite some time and finally decided to install it. The install went smooth thanks to all of the info I found here on Mud. I turned the key and she fired right up. Seamed to idle smoother than ever. I was stoked! Here are my question(s). I...

Not sure if any of you have posted outside of the 60 section, but way less activity with the 4th gen 4Runner guys. Not sure why...maybe less problems. I thought I would throw my question in here for some feedback. Puchased an 03 4Runner and it was well maintained, timing belt recently changed...

Where do I connect the single lug (armature)at the end of the motor on my '77 8247? Replacing solenoids with contactor.. Contactor has the 4 lugs ,pos and neg to battery then the other two to the f1 & f2 lugs on motor. I've checked the diagrams on line and still don't get it. Where the heck do...

Hi guys, I've been lurking for awhile but after much searching, I finally purchased a 1978 FJ40 on the weekend. I've worked in the automotive industry in the past and have collected and restored many classic vehicles but this is my first FJ40 so I've got a steep learning curve. My FJ has Apr...

any help for my mechanic - wondering but went / should now go here:

Trying to figure out which one is L and R. With bottoms it's easy, with tops, original's look similar (except for hole for armrest) Ridies came in without hole, but they have some kind of loops with plastic insert which I don't have on originals. My guess is that maybe side airbags? Was it...

I have a 1990 HZJ80 and this is my first time attempting to rebuild the steering knuckle on the left side, which has the longer axle. I replaced the CV joint, mounted it on the axle, and secured it with the snap ring. After greasing everything, I reassembled the hub. Before installing the...

I recently replaced the shocks and coils on my LC 100 (220k miles), and also raised the torsion bars a bit. After doing so, I just found that both sides of my CV boots are leaking between the axle and the boot - the clamps aren't tight enough at the angle they're at. Both are leaking through on...

Hi all, I did a bit of searching but couldn't find much. I have a new-to-me, Ed Martin built 2021, and I've got the ARB compressor hooked up to a set of rear bags and a quick release chuck under the hood. Recently, despite the switch being in the "off" position, the compressor kicks on for...

I have the LX450 and it came without a front bumper. If I find one from a 92 or something will it bolt on straight away or will it need some adjusting or hole drilling? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I’ve been using MUD as a resource for my 2013 LX over the last year but this is my first post. I took a trip to Death Valley eariler this month and while descending this gnarly mountain I tripped a P2716 code for my shift solenoid in the trans. This lead to a flashing 4Lo and...

Switch works, fan blows low or high depending on the switches on dash, problem the air is not hot, not even warm just cold or outside temp. Front heater works fine, what could cause this? I’m assuming the front and rear heaters share the same heater core? If not where is the heater core for the...

1) What is the device located above the steering column in the photo below, which is apparently not equipped to every LC250 model? I believe it's to ensure you're watching the road. The LC250 is supposed to have TSS 3.0 standard on all models, so I'm wondering why it would only be equipped on...

I'm considering buying a 1997 80 series with the 1HDT engine. It has 126,000 km on the clock. Based upon reading various threads here, it is a good idea to inspect/replace the BEB's. Can that be done with the engine in the truck? Should the rod bearings also be replaced at the same time...

Scratched the rear shaft of transmission while pulling the seal. Any suggestions to fix it? Or is it not a big enough scratch to cause a leak

I'm replacing AHC on my 100. On the rear (and front I assume when I get there) the lower shock mount is only a bushing, and that's what's provided with the kit. These are the white Foam Cell shocks and not the Pro version. So where the lower shock bolt goes through it contacts with rubber...

I've got a 2008 GX470 with the mark levinson and it has the AUX in. Mine is too spotty to work reliably anymore. It looks like this. Im trying to get it to work or to replace it with something better (that doesn't cost $200 either). Wanted to see if people had solutions to this. My thinking...

Can someone please tell me what these hoses are for? I've tried to answer it myself but can't. I assume the first two are fuel related. The photo is off my 84 FJ45, passenger side (right), under the fueling port. I've realised 2-6 are all cracked and need replacing, so can someone help with the...

Have a 91 with a 1hdt. Currently in the middle of pulling my old injection pump out b4 putting in an upgraded one, was lining up the timing marks and the 2 timing belt pulleys line right up with the marks but the crankshaft is slightly off of its mark. Never had a noticeable issue with the...

I've a down shift cable question. Need to word it first. Anyways, just saying hi for now because i just joined. Is this where i should post my question?
