Hello All.
Just bought a used 97 1fzj80G after a long saving and search. Actually it was produced and imported from Japan on late Nov/Dec06. I have not had a chance to take it to mechanic for a throughly check. From own observation though, it is still in good shape both interior/exterior, no mjor fluid leaks with exception of small trail of oil from the back of transmission housing to the main drive shaft.
Since it's Jap imported version and previous owner lost the orig. owner manuals and this is my first LC, I am kind of lost on how to operate some of gadgets the vehicles are providing.
It's has version of vx limited, 24 valves,gasoline and full options, including the frig. and pretty much stocks. Understand the Jap version is somewhat differ from the one they made for other markets. Aside from asking favor from this forum for the copies of owner's manual, can anyone explain how to operate the diff lock?. Mine has knob on the dashboard located on the left side of steering wheel. It has center, ff, ff/rear. I am afraid to use it now, because of might damaging it. Any inputs/instruction of how to use and take full advantage of its features when the conditions is arised much appreciated.
One of buddy told me not to engage the diff lock when you are in H. It only supposed to be used on L only and should be at the slow speed and how can I tell those diff locks are engaged?.
