I would too, that milage is extremely low just let her be a excellent original truckThat's a clean looking rig. With that low of miles and being a 92 I would consider making it a garage queen and get another one for using off-road.

Wits end sells the 3 main radiator hose for the 3FE. if you want all the other heater hoses. you will have to source them from ToyotaA lil help... So I am doing a little coolant system work and I seem to only get about 2.5 gallons out of the OLE 3fe... am I missing something?
Also is there a recommended source for new hoses?
So, what you can do is take apart the heater line and take a air compressor set on about 10psi and very lightly blow air through the heater system, that is the best place to take it apart and get all the coolant out of the heater coreI just got a reply from CDan, yup he said the same thing... I did quite a few flushes and run back up to temp so it should just be a mix of red and water at this point.
Thank you! I did that with the intake manifold to make sure it was very well flushed. I am fearful of taking the heater hoses apart as there is a fair amount of corrosion on them... all things in timeSo, what you can do is take apart the heater line and take a air compressor set on about 10psi and very lightly blow air through the heater system, that is the best place to take it apart and get all the coolant out of the heater core

Cleaned the IAC, there was a thick coating of carbon. Took care of my rough idle at startup, but not the intermittent cut out or occasional super high rpms at start up, then hard starting condition. Got a code 22 and 42. Coolant temp sensor is on order and a new alternator as back up. New speedo cable will hopefully take care of the code 42. Based on previous threads these issues can take a while to sort out.
coolant temp sensor and the IAC took care of 90% of the issue, I'm good with that for now. Yesterday I used a por15 on the floor pans including patching a hole by the drivers side pan. Lots of prep. but should be good for 10 years.I haven't had the issue but a leaking cold start injector could cause weird start up issues.
The oil leak is probably the valve cover seal or gasket, and for adjusting the valves, I would do that when you replace the valve cover gasket, if you need a picture of the sequence to adjust the valves let me know,I am having an issue with oil collecting around the front header and cat flange. Seems to happen after it has sat for a day or two. I can not for the life of me find where it is coming from. I don't see excessive smoke on start up from the tail pipe but I do know my valves need to be adjusted. The thought has crossed my mind that it could be guide seals but again I do not see crazy smoking. It doesnt seem to be leaving a puddle on the ground under that area. Also found a pin hold leak on the radiator to add insult to injury
I did the valve cover gasket a month ago. Old one was stiff as a wedding prick, came off in pieces. If you can shoot me that info with any tips and tricks I would be stoked. My rig sounds like two transformers banging in a dumpster.
Anyone know what oil can be used in the AC system running r12? I have a leak at the coil and i plan on resealing it. I have access to loads of r12 but I can not find the oil. FSM calls for ND OIL 6, SUNISO No.5GS or equivalent. I only need like 2 or 3 ounces but I can't find a equivalent. I called the dealer and they said "we just some stuff from napa".
