What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (50 Viewers)

[Fj80oregon]

Concrete poured! 5000 PSI 12 inches deep, Slow cure process, wet every day for 7 days and keep covered. 30 days the lift can be installed.

Had a short to ground in my Dome circuit, went to remove the drivers side kick panel to check it out and found a rats nest of s***ty crimps and broken connections and about crapped my pants.

Spent way too long looking for WTF these wires were and where they went and couldn’t find anything in the FSM or the electrical wiring diagram supplement.

Thanks to this forum I finally figured out 90% of this mess was from the alarm system that was installed after arrival in the US.

My only question now is which manual is this shown below? Something used by Toyota US in 1997? Anyone know how I can find one? This was extremely helpful and I think I’d still be tearing my hair out if I hadn’t found this picture.

Carried a load of donation items for NC to Over The Mountain Cruisers (@Bama4door) on Thursday. OTM was serving as a drop off point and from there the items will be picked up and transported to NC.

Dead TVSS Alarm in 1995 LC

Recently I've been parking in the downtown area and was thinking to get an alarm installed. My 95 has the Toyota Security light on the dash and from the posts on the Board, I was able to locate the alarm control module under the drivers seat. It looks to be the Toyota TVSS model (predecessor...

Finally got the LP6 mounted up much better than the PO set up

Finally got it on the road after engine rebuild.

Finally got round to starting my Coastal Offraod bumper build. Got most of it tacked up before my welder decided it didn't want to play any more

Nothing exciting, routine oil, filter, grease and bath today.

That's some high tech concrete. I would be mixing bags in a kiddie pool from Walmart

What are the symptoms of your welder not working?

 

[Irish Reiver]

Something awry with the wire speed. Guage says 254"/min and I am getting 6"/min. If I max out the wire speed it only increases to 10"/min.
The unit is still in warranty so hopefully no issues with them resolving the problem.

I prefer mixing in a wheelbarrow, but the manufacturer specs say no hand mixing, so paid a mix on site truck to come out made it really easy and super fast, also borrowed a concrete vibrator to get the concrete under the old slab. Easy work with the right tools!

Leave your gas off and pull your whip out so its straight. Open the cover up. Try it. Can you hear it "whizzing", like the feed is working correctly? If so, check the spool. With the reel getting lighter, check the pre load on the spool, loosen a little bit and try it again. If that's good, put a little more tension on the feed wheels. Just some things I ran in to in the past with my old Lincoln, not sure what you're using.

Like @cruzinfj1 said above. But also if the wire speed dial/attenuator is dirty, give the contacts a squirt of electronics cleaner and a blow out with compressed air. My welder will sometimes just start spitting wire as fast as it can… I always have to open it up and clean it out with compressed air. Hope you find the fix. Finicky welders can be a pain.

There's a yo momma joke in there somewhere.
