I want answers! :LOL2:

I try to most of my own work (which isn't much on a Previa), but I won't do a head gasket on a Previa. I would gladly pay 13-1500 for someone to do that, if I could be sure that was the only problem....

My head gasket is leaking and I don't trust the engine its on because it was supposedly rebuilt less than 10,000 miles ago but its out of warranty. I figure if the head gasket is bad already, the...

are you getting any white smoke on startup? This happened to me on my way to both blown head gaskets.

Yeah my analog meter might just not pick up a resistance reading that small, so its possible that it was there.

I did not test the relays. I'm electrically challenged and would need...

No its not fixed, I'm currently worrying about other things like where to get the money to replace my engine for this van that I got ripped off on. But I would like to fix it.

However I think I...

i got mine here. Looks like they still have some

Let us know how it goes. I haven't installed mine yet because...

I just bought one recently for my 97, can't remember if I got it on ebay or an online Toyota site. I'll see if I can find the info because it was only a few months ago. I'll let you know tonight...

12269-76010 on a 97

should be the same on a 91 but double check it

What I thought strange about the jeg listing was that they won't be available until January 2021, so it gave me the impression that ADDCO are producing extras for retail sale at the same time as the...

Did you know they are being sold online?

Put the 97 dash back together today and can now confirm that it is pretty much the same as the 93. The two screws had been removed by someone prior to me, which is why it came out so easily

I may have to walk back what I said at least partway...I can tell you that I took the instrument cluster off on my 97 without having to do any of that but its possible that either the 97 is...

I am referring to the main instrument cluster lights-the oil, fuel, seat belt, alternator, speedometer, check engine light etc.

Those might work but the stock ones are actually #158. I can see the number 158 on the Toshiba bulbs I just pulled out of my 97, which is fortunate because I had already bought 158 long-life bulbs...

If you are only going to replace the dummy lights in the main cluster you don't have to remove or unplug the cigarette lighter, drink tray or radio. You just need to get the radio fascia off, giving...

I think John hit it on the head that those are for the later models. You might be able to just make some spacer sleeves. I have no personal experience with doing so.

So here's the setup. One of the new red wires runs from a terminal inside the Front Heater Relay to the blower, and the other new red wire is crimped to a presumably original blue/ wire that is...

No power to the resistor connector, as I suspected. I haven't found where those wires originate, and may not be able to.

I traced one of the new blower wires to the front heater relay. The other...

Being 4 terminals at the resistor and me having only half a brain, i would need instructions on how to test the resistor connector for voltage. If there were only 2 that would mean i only have a 50%...

normally when the resistor is shot, the front blower will only work on high. My blower only works on high. However, I bought a new resistor and it still only blows on high.

The previous...

Good to know. Thanks for reporting back on BOTH types you tried. I used the W28R's for about 3 years and don't remember having any trouble with them, but its good to have more choices.

I'm happy to say i was apparently wrong. i took it to a no-name shop today and while I don't have great confidence in them (I'm away from home0 the sads looked good to both them and to me....

and after only two weeks, its doing it again... :pissed::pissed: :no::no:

See if this helps. My eyes glazed over after about 4 posts...

In contrast, when my SADS was wobbling because the morons installed it improperly it would vibrate immediately upon starting the van. That doesn't mean a bad SADS will always act that way, but mine...

I wouldn't be surprised if its the rear shaft if that staked joint has never been replaced. When mine went bad on one of my previous Previas it caused vibration at highway speed. I hope you get it...

Did you ever have any luck getting this fixed? You are lucky I wouldn't refer you to the shop that did mine. I had my doubts about them and now it appears they did a very poor job. I had to have the...

Great! Looks like they will probably work for all American Previas then, if they work 91-95. Its been a long while since I replaced my rear wiper so I don't know anything certain about that. Please...

Think he got it figured out https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/kinda-urgent-someone-tried-to-steal-my-gas-tank-now-not-start-1991-previa.1683337

Anco W28R work on 95's...I don't remember if there is a difference between them and earlier models so you may have to research that aspect...

Unfortunately, it looks like that poster hasn't posted here in 3 years.

That's pretty cool. You are pioneering new ground for Previas!

I remember a guy in Colorado who had a quiver of Previas for sale but that was quite a few years ago. Don't know if its the same guy you are thinking or not but haven't seen anything about him in...

I think you are better off getting any additional advice from someone with more specialized knowledge than I have...wish i could help more, I just don't know that much about drivelines. Sorry. I...

I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending or not recommending the shop I used. They are certainly not known for their Previa or their driveline work, which is not to say that they didn't do a good...

i won't be much help because I wasn't even in the state when the work was done, and hadn't even seen the van yet. I had them do the work before I even purchased it, and i was buying it from the guy...

Wish I could help, but I've never done the job myself. I can say that my Febi's are working fine after having them installed 6 weeks ago, so they aren't the problem. I wonder if a proper shop can...

staying tuned

PS-I'm most definitely not an expert at anything automotive lol..

I don't think anyone has actually had them blow out though, have they? I don't remember that discussion but I haven't read a lot of the discussions over the years if it didn't interest me at the...

I am the person who started the discussion on YPG. i don't have time to research all of your links at the moment (at the public library) but if you are suggesting Febi is a reboxer I'd disagree based...

i don't have anything scientific to add. I always used trop-arctic synthetic blend in my 91. It suddenly (and temporarily) became unavailable where I lived so one time I used Pennzoil. The engine...

Nooooo, I would not attempt this job myself even if I had my garage handy, and I don't. And my garage wouldn't help much anyway. I just hope a real shop will do the job the way I want, with...

anybody know for sure which Febi Bilstein part# to use for a later 94-97 SADS? The only thing I'm sure of is that it matters...the bolt holes are larger on the later ones

I'm not really sure of...

yeah, freaky weird, I just got sucked into the basic vBulletin format world and I didn't like it at all. Fortunately the "full site" link brought me back home, but wtf?

Thanks. I'm determined to get back into a Previa this year and I remember my old 91 (RIP) was a pain

Its reassuring (not) that they still haven't fixed the problem. I have a couple of photopucket accounts that I can't even get into anymore....

Do you have a paid account with them? It sounds like you do from a previous post, but if not your pics hosted there should have stopped showing up a couple years ago.

I had some choice words for...

as of right now the home page still exists and it has information that might help someone trying to subscribe. I would expect that page to remain there, but I don't expect it with any great degree of...
