So before 2018 update:
SADS have had no issues.
Visual check, no cracks or anything.
Driving check - no vibrations
sound check - no sounds.
Let's do an update:
A few months back, my Previa started to have a delayed shift and even some rattling noise.
I automatically thought it was my transmission.. I mean those 2 things go together...
Well, kind of an update.
I have been using the Ice Maker as a storage and I absolutely like it.
I've had time to reflect on this piece.
So, while it isn't functional, I do like it better than...
Very nice!
I got all my stuff earlier this year, but I have not installed them.
I haven't had time to check out the wiring, but can you shed some light on how you wired yours? I've seen people...
I was thinking of doing this originally when I first got my previa, but none of the shops that had the motor could verify or guarantee them... so I decided to build the engine out.
When I talked...
cb97alltrac,
Thanks for the shout out.
My code never came back and so I was glad to do that fix.
Some of the times, the inventory is not up to date.
I went to the Rancho Cordova PnP and they had 5 previas in the list, I paid my $2 and asked for the locations.
When I got there, the 3 rows...
Here was my parts list.

Very cool.
Thanks for this!
Yup.
I have the lines from the previous previa that had the cool box.
But I looked at everything and while I go everything for the ice box (besides the lines), I realize if it was more of a...
Thanks man.
At times, I don't mind video taping. When I hit the junkyards, I like to document how I take things off for myself and for others.
I'm not trained or official with the wrench, just...
So I'm here visiting in Vancouver BC. I come often, but today, I was able to go to the Junkyard in Chilliwack.

Well, saw a blue previa and guess what?
Ice...
Nice, can you take pics?
I know Lextreme put a video on youtube, but I'm not that mechanical when it comes to electronics.
I took one apart awhile back. There is a thin rubber piece, possibly overtime that gets stiff and rips or even the cleaner might rip it.
I can't quite remember, but I will definitely try to find...
pdgizwiz - dude... that is pretty awesome. Wow! :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
Wow.. that video. Good find!
Well that sucks. But atleast it's been confirmed they are not that well made, as Tim said, let's see how customer service handles it.
But it appears that OEM is the way to go.
2 instances I've seen these polyurethane SADS couplers being used.
1. Found one in the junkyard on a previa and it was in good condition, but don't know how long it was on there.
2. A guy was...
LOL. I've asked this question before.
Since most on here are OEM guys and I haven't heard anything about the polyurethane ones, I went with the trusted words of these guys.
Thanks for that tip!
Looks good to me!
The guy on previadiaries bought a previa with smoked headlights and some "well executed xenon bulbs", which he mentioned wasn't too bad.
I remember when my transmission was out when the motor was being rebuilt. I kept telling myself that I should get off work early and take the transmission to an ATRA shop. But the shop who did my...
Awesome man.
I absolutely hate the lens. I've polished it and now it is yellowish again... California....
That's bro. Yes, I believe in certain areas, different vehicles are marketed specifically due to region. I know in Lake Tahoe (snow and mountainous) there are TONS of Subarus. It would make sense...
Thanks bro. I was just wondering. I've been on a look out for an all trac and I wanted to put a manual in that one, but who knows. I always have a vague or broad idea for everything, just when it...
That is what I was thinking. I mean, I'm not drifting or even off roading and earlier this year I spent $1200 to have all new internals and electronics and shift kit into my transmission.
Since...
Interesting. I might grab it just in case, but who knows. If it is there next weekend, I might do that.
I came upon a manual transmission Previa. I've never seen one in my searching, but wonder are they that rare?
It is a difficult task for sure. Good luck!
I'll be going to Canada again this weekend, but I hope it is there when I get back.
I'm going to do a video on removing the head liner, front sun roof and other things.
A salvage shop in...
I didn't remove it, but should have! I just looked at it. But hopefully next week it's there and I'll check it out. As for troubleshooting it... I don't, that is more technical than my basic...
Went the junkyard and got more info. Two weeks ago, I was taking out the rear moon roof and started to do the head liner.
But today,

Okay, Maybe this video?

I removed much of the rear AC unit, but I think next weekend, I will fully take out the A/C unit...
I posted this in another thread, and I am unsure if it pertains to you completely,
but

When you do find the issue,...
That is awesome bro!
I always mention this when I talk about my Previa's rebuild process. I didn't want to just replace the head gasket and leave the rest unchecked after how many years. Even with the mentality of "if it...
Wow, never knew. I was wondering why that was when I took out my panels.
I remember this thread and wanted to elaborate more on it.

I didn't have that issue, but you can call a transmission shop and see what they say. Maybe the gear is going out?
TheMan - Yeah, the coolant lines were a pain as it was getting all up in the rusted areas. Eventually I'll go make in fully functional.
Pdgizwiz - Yup, kinda interesting to see it. I didn't even...
Hmm, I didn't even think about it.
It was SUPER RUSTED underneath, I mean crumbling and flaking pieces everywhere. I don't think that is typical of a Cali car.
I might go check it out again...
Hit some snags.. but oh well. When I get a place with a garage, I'll attempt to get it 100%
explained here
http://reactionprevia.blogspot.com/2015/09/i-got-coolbox.html
I got all the wiring going into the dash and brackets.
In the AM, I'll be there to get the coolant lines.
I don't think these ever came in US spec (this was a 92), am I correct?
Yup, gonna...
It's Saturday and this morning I was busy making fruit/veggie boxes and bags for low income families here in the Oakland.
I decided to go fill up gas and was gonna head back to San Francisco,...
I have always kept it every 3k for an interval. But I keep hearing that new oil has proven to better and oil changes can happen every 7-10k.
I've always been a 3k person honestly.
My friend's previa does the same thing and I can't figure it out as well.
It seems that her AC has a higher load demand and at idle, sometimes it shuts of the motor. When she first told me about...
Welcome to the forums.
I bought my previa with a blown head gasket with intentions of rebuilding it. Since I bought my van with 245,000, I figure it would be best to replace things as I go along....
