Friends, I acquired this 87 (auto 4WD LE) and the auto hubs were removed for a brake/rotor job years ago. It's appears that the hubs were not put back on. Based on this photo does it appear...

Hey, thanks for that.. it really helps! I think I might give it a shot. I experienced the same and so did the smog repair shop-- when they jumpered it, it did not have any effect and did not advance....

Thanks, Tim. Just did a through check, intake boot looks good, no cracks or tears and is pliable.

If I replace the TPS with a new one, and calibrate it per your video instructions, should I...

Hi Tim,

I have 212k on the odo. I did pick up a new TPS and haven’t installed it. It runs ok, shifts ok, has a slow take off from the light (maybe just a typical characteristic). What I am unsure...

Thanks. Yes, it shifts and seems to be stuck in 3rd. When I floor it, it does kick down to a lower gear.
With the solenoid bypass does the temp have any bearing on the shifting?

Hi Tim,

I finally got to putting a solenoid bypass. I drove it, but it still seemed to not make a difference, and did not go into overdrive. Is there something I’m missing to do? It’s a 4wd auto....

Thanks, Tim. I'll try the tranny fluid change first, as I try to locate the part for the solenoid mod. I think I read it's a Volvo part?
I hope changing the T-Stat didn't cause any of this!

Hi Tim - I'm trying to follow this, but for an 87 4WD. My OD takes a very long time to engage, about almost 6-8 miles in 80 degree temp, and I disconnected the water thermo switch to no avail. This...

Friends, I need to change out the A/C Suction and Discharge hoses to the compressor on an 87 Auto 4WD LE. I also need to change out the rear blower resistor (only works on high). I reviewed the shop...

Friends, I am hearing a squish noise when I let up on the brake pedal. It doesn't seem to have a pattern if it's a hard press, but noticeable when my foot lets up on it. I do also see since fluid on...

TVT Friends,

On the 4WD, my differential looks like it seeping fluid from the front side, facing the back of the engine. I changed the diff oil and the level seemed fine prior to the change.
I...

Ah! Thank you. I crawled underneath and sure enough, there's no caps and the metal curved stop plate is dry. I'll grease those up!

Friends- on my 87 4WD, when I make a sharp U turn I hear a pop sound underneath. It's not a click noise like a bad CV, but just pop/grind, metal to meal noise. Is there a worn part or something I can...

Thought I'd share a small project that was fairly easy to do below and looks factory.

Thanks JDM for the help and the links to the post!

JDM- my apologies for the huge photo, just realized that! Not sure how to resize it. For the LEDs, I used the Serundo Auto I found on Amazon:...

Thanks for the feedback. I just posted some pics of my existing master on a new thread https://www.toyotavantech.com/forum/showthread.php?7803-LED-Dash-and-Brake-Master-cylinder-change-or-not as I...

11068Through TVT friends here and posts on how to remove the instrument cluster, I changed out the dash bulbs to white LEDs, here's a photo attached.

Also I got into the dash to inspect my master...

I was looking at a remanufactured brake master cylinder for an 87 from Autozone (in the store) and noticed that the lower section of the piston part that connects to the booster seems like it was...

Thanks JDM,

Interestingly, I found that the light works.. when other doors are open. The wires around the door hinges look ok, no tears. There must be something wrong with it elsewhere.

Thanks everyone for your insight on this. I'll look around and see. It is pricey and the actual oil level is good, no leaks either. Again, in appreciation.

I picked this up as a solution to the oil level light (yellow one next to O/D light on the dash) but can't seem to locate it. I see the squarish oil pressure part on the driver side. Is this one...

I had this issue on and off and discovered a few things to do on addition to all the good help here. After replacing the alternator years ago, the lights flickered on and off and I dealt with dead...

Friends- I noticed that my driver door, when open, does not illuminate the dashboard door "open" light and the red illuminated courtesy light on the door itself does not either. However, the "door"...

Perfect, and thank you! I think I see it on my 87, it seems like the hose connects to a plastic piece on the tranny housing, driver side, near the battery box? Interestingly, on mine, there was a cap...

Thanks. It has a clamp on the end that's hanging loose. If it is a vent hose for the tranny dipstick, would that connect to the engine somewhere?

Friends, as an update, and maybe this can help- I see this hose as part of transmission dip stick, but still not sure where the other end goes to.

Thanks for the help

Friends,

I was replacing the starter motor from below and noticed this hose disconnected. Not sure where this goes to and I'm not sure if it's related to emissions or what. The photos are from the...

Thank you Wrench! So on the top bolt, it would go 1. banjo > washer > fuel rail > washer > fuel filter. Essentially, the 2 washers on each side. It was strange as the aftermarket only came with 2...

On the fuel filter replacement, I managed to drop the crush washer when I pulled the banjo bolt and when the filter was removed; I could not see it well :no:. Can someone tell me in what order the...
