My guess would be the steering stop bolts as mine does the same thing at full lock. There is supposed to be a plastic cap on the bolt heads in the lower balljoint to cushion the contact point on the...

Rings aren't the only reason for bad compression. It could be a bad valve or camshaft or even a leaky injector among other things. It may be worth doing a little more diagnosing before a teardown....

If you just want the oil level light to stay off and are already diligently checking your oil, you can unplug the level sensor where it connects to the alternator harness and put a jumper wire into...

The roof itself has no real support and should really not have anything mounted to it. It is just the sheet metal skin with two VERY light gauge support bows that are basically only to keep the sheet...

Good to hear it's running well.

The gauges in these get pretty inconsistent as they age. If I were in your position, I would be inclined to verify opp erating temps with a non-contact infrared thermometer or by installing an...

Yes, the green circle is where both of mine have the engine side of the ground cable attached. Be sure your negative battery cable goes from the battery to the chassis and then on to the engine and...

The hose on mine went from the dipstick tube to a vent port on the top of the transmission case. The picture is taken from just behind the battery box looking across the top of the transmission...

The end of the second leg of the battery ground cable does go under a bolt on the engine side of the driver side engine mount. There is also a harness ground strap that should be attached to the...

If it is a vent, it would not connect to the engine. It's purpose would be to allow the transmission to breath. When the fluid heats up it expands and if the transmission were totally sealed it would...

I haven't had a chance to look at either of mine but if one end of the hose is attached to the dipstick tube then it's probably a just a vent.

You won't damage the starter or alternator and as far as the relay test, continuity and ultimately function is more important than resistance. If the starter cranks, the relay is working. 1 and 3...

I was reading too many threads and got yours mixed up with someone else's that's an auto. The relay seems to be there instead of having a second clutch switch to kill the cruise control when the...

The wiring schematic I have doesn't show a starter relay for autos. Where is the relay located on yours?

On a 4WD the ratio of the front and rear differential must match. A small variation of a couple hundredths is acceptable such as 4.09 in one axle and 4.11 in the other. If the ratios don't match than...

You can't swap the complete rearend because of the different axle bolt pattern. You could swap the center section but 4WD Autos are an odd 4.778 ratio and gearsets are hard to come by. Check the ID...

I have no experience with that brand. Do your due diligence. None of the reviews on that site really pertain to actual experience with the tire so not much help there.

Hey Tim.
My brother has had a set of the Nankang's on his VW Westfalia for a few years and is happy with them. I actually told him about them based on your recommendations. I prefer a more...

The first tires I had were the BFG's. Despite being the same size they had the narrowest tread width. Tire width can be measured at the tread or at the sidewall below the tread when mounted to a...

I personally much prefer the handling and performance of a LT series "C" rated tire. I have run in an LT27X8.50R14 size the now discontinued BFGoodrich All-Terrain t/a KO and Wildcat A/T's as well as...

I had someone at an emissions test station who was having trouble picking up a tach signal outside the vehicle ask me to pop the hood so they could hook up directly to my engine. This was said to me...

I would ask, "How badly do you want to remove it?". If you are simply hoping for easier access to components behind the dash you are unfortunately out of luck. On the other hand, if a badly damaged...

Try one of these.
https://www.amazon.com/OTC-4521-Hose-Removal-Tool/dp/B0050SFZBG
Or Google "radiator hose removal tool". They come in different shapes, lengths, and angles.

These are invaluable for coolant leaks.

I believe so. They are the smaller diameter ones that Burntboot was referencing.

Nevermind. That came out unbelievably fuzzy.
Page MT-36.
Transmission mounting bolts 53 ft lbs
Stiffener plate bolts 27 ft lbs.

Here you go. All right there in the manual.

Also helps to prevent broken fasteners.
Like Burntboot said, we were all noobs once and I broke plenty of fasteners before I learned to use my torque wrench more often. Experience eventually gave...

It's a long read but with a lot of relevance to your situation.
BTW, I searched "lifters".

I would add that it is helpful to punch a hole in the top of the filter before pulling the drain plug to allow the filter to more readily drain back to the pan. This has saved me a considerable...

There are three resistors on the resistor pack each of a different resistance value, one for each of the three lower fan speeds. There is one terminal connected to each of the three low speed outputs...

This would be a good start. You may find the original wiring in the process.You could also test for voltage at the resistor itself. Unfortunately, figuring out and fixing other people's "repairs" is...

Sounds like your next check should be to verify fuel to the cylinders. You may have fuel to the rail and the injectors but it may not be getting through the injectors to the cylinders. Sparks plugs...

Is your 95 OBD1 or 2?

Have you checked codes? Also, these need a fuel pump capable of around 40psi. They are also controlled by an electrical circuit tied to the computer, the airflow meter, and several relays. My...

Have you checked for codes?

Hard to tell from the video but it sounds like injector nailing. This can be caused by the injectir popping too soon which affects the timing as well as allowing too large of fuel droplets. This may...

Bud's Machine Shop in Lakewood for a rebuild. Not van specific, but a damn good machine shop. Just don't tell them you're not in a hurry.....

In regards to this and your other thread regarding warning lights: In the past I have attempted to convert two vehicles to full led lighting in the instrument panel, ie illumination and warning...

When I was a teenager, I was wearing shorts(As I always am)standing next to a car near the muffler when this happened. Singed the hair off of my ankles.

And yes, you should have pulled the plugs and cranked it to pump any water out of the cylinders through the spark plug holes.

I know that bridge! I was just there on Father's Day.
I did the same thing to one of my vans when I misjudged the depth of a flooded street in downtown Tacoma several years ago. Unfortunately, the...

Have you checked for trouble codes?

Just to be clear, the glowplugs should physically be left in. You just don't want any electrical current going to them. Depending on the system, that could be simply pulling a fuse or unplugging the...

??????

It's a diesel. Fuel and compression and it WILL start. You could unplug the glowplugs and give it a small shot of starting fluid(ether). If the glowplugs are not easy to disable you could let them...

Have you tried bleeding the injectors?

I see you had a US van as well. Is the seat mounting at all similar between JDM and US market vans? Also, what do you want for them.

I had some shots of the differences between the manual and auto input hubs too with measurements but, unfortunately, they are on a kindle that will no longer power up. I had planned to post all of...

Actually, your van has a 4YEC engine. You are unfortunately correct in that it is nearly impossible to help you with this without actually hearing the noise in person. However, based on your...
