Im guessing if you hit the reset buttons and its still not working I would just replace it. If your heater or AC works the damage on repair for the blower shouldn't be too bad?

Well Im still trying to sell it for $200 if theres any takers. Welcome to come and look at it

Yea it was my radiator... Damn another van another re core

Ripping apart my floors today in my 4x4 (captains chair van) just as I was about to modify the floor to fit the bench seats I found these. Bench seats fit right in. I don't have that metal bar.

I have had a hard time with the transmission in mine. Its different than the 86-89 trans (a44dl) which is the most common. Some people have put the a44dl trans into 3y 85 vans and it worked. Didn't...

Good luck with the 85 transmission its a roflroflroflroflrofl

If it is the thermostat any good OEM reccomnedations on where to buy? I have the failsafe one in from auto zone right now.

I am fixing up my 4x4 I have replaced Thermostat, fan clutch, water pump and radiator seems to be ok. The van drives at a normal temperature on the highway but on idle it over heats. I am thinking I...

You can make adapters out of 2x4's and cover them or paint them. The seats sit 2 inches higher but it works great in my van.

nice to hear its working for you maybe you should consider buying mine as a back up

Yea I don't know what the deal is I originally thought it was a bad transmission because it didn't shift into gear when my dad and I put it in then took it to the shop and they opened up said it was...

To be honest I have no idea I know nothing about the internal of an automatic transmission. I towed my van to a transmission shop and I didn't even tell them it wasn't the exact right transmission...

I have a transmission for an 86-89 Toyota van I bought for an 85. We put it in and couldn't get it to work in the 85. It doesn't have a torque converter $200 obo. This is a totally rebuilt trans

I need a new rad for my 87 4x4. I have found the rwd radiators but I don't want to buy one if its not going to work. Anyone know if either of these will work for a 4x4?

...

I found a small shop to re core mine for $100

any other radiator out there in the world with the same dimensions?

Dang. So no luck at all for the 86 rad to fit? Even with a little shaving? Any other option? I think even the tanks are busted on mine.

Thanks dude! Appreciate the help. By the looks of the photo the radiator is exactly the same. But ultimately I think this would be A question for Tim or somebody else that has experience with...

Also is there any other solution and using a different radiator that isn't copper? I had found an eBay link that Tim posted but is no longer available I've been searching eBay but I haven't found...

My radiator was leaking and I took it in to a shop near me and the guy at the shop told me it was no good anymore. I would have to re-core and the copper is very expensive. Does anybody know of a...

Hey I think I may need to change my Catalytic Converter. I am due for a smog and I was thinking before I go I should change the converter. The exhaust smells funky like something is burnt. Hoping its...

It came with a new torque converter.

Well Im having a mechanic look at it tomorrow. As far as I know then when the transmission was put in it had the correct amount of fluid because I added about 4 quarts and then ended up draining out...

If Im not able to run the van through the gears though wouldn't the fluid not be able to get into the torque converter?

I emptied about 7 quarts out of fluid out of the transmission and filled it back up. Still nothing. It almost as if "the automatic clutch" doesn't work as soon as its put into gear the van jumps...

I can't shift through the gears because as soon as I put it in drive the van jumps forward. Ill add more fluid tomorrow and see how it pans out. What happens if I overflow the transmission with too...

Yea I've tried the cable a few different ways nothing changes. I haven't had time to add even more fluid than I already have (extra 3 quarts). How much extra do you think I should try and add? does...

So I have purchased a rebuilt transmission from transparts734 off of eBay a couple weeks ago. Transmission is put in. They come with fluid in them. Once installed started up and shifted into gear......

Im going to pull the trigger on this eBay transmission and update the thread

No problem sorry about the multiple posts.

Hey tim any step by step on how to recharge the system with r12? I got a Freeze 12 kit Im just not sure on exactly the way to go about it. Van running, AC on charge from low side?

I just got home from a 1600 mile trip, on mile 200ish I turned the key and click... Tapping the starter is your best bet in this situation. It shocks the starter. Hope it works out. It worked out for...

Why not

Thanks adamh Ill try that today.

Still available? Have pics?

Mine does the same thing kind of it just randomly turns on and off throughout driving it. The guy that I bought it from said its a bed sensor?

Im not a mechanic maybe this is a stupid question but I was wondering if a Toyota 4y forklift motor would work in a van?

Thanks Ryan! It's located in Carson? If so that's perfect I'm in San Pedro. If you don't mind me asking how much did that engine rebuild run you? I'm guessing you probably got a deal but one of my...
