Hello all,
Well I pretty much exhausted my options for what I'm looking for in a 14" tire for my 4x4 van. I pretty much wanted a good all around tire that would be rated for all season. The...
Hello everyone!!! :wave2:
I called those guys up and they said the CU30 isn't available. The CU29 2wd is, but not the CU30.
I'm thinking about doing that with the timing set from RockAuto. They have one timing set left from BECK/ARNLEY for less than $25! Thinking about buying the last one. I was amazed at what the set...
I thought it kept some kind of record of the history of error codes. I guess it just keeps the latest? To reset everything you just turn the key to the off position then it gets reset?
I'm not getting any error codes coming up. Can you fill me in on how to check the ECU for stored error codes?
Hey skibum,
I had a chance to look at this the other day. I'm pretty sure this cable connection is for the lever that selects the possible airflow in the dash area. For example, foot area or...
It just needs to survive long enough to get the good one on my van. I guess it would be saved for if I ever have to deal with this valve again. As far as taking them off on the van, I'll do what...
I used a dremel and one disposable cutting disc. I was under the impression that it was going to be a b***h to cut this, but I was abit underwhelmed with the hardest of the metal.
BTW, I'm gona...
I ended up getting a Craftsman socket. I didn't want to do stuff twice, so went with the Craftsman. It went against my restitution to destroy a perfect socket that I could have added to my...
Thanks eddie, that's a good start. I looked at some videos and they're demonstrating how to check the voltage on house current. It gona take a little courage for me stick the probes to test that! ...
This arrived last week and I'm pleased with the item. Seems like it does a great job on reading just about everything I've tried so far. There's a literature on this that hasn't been read yet. ...
OK I got my ohmmeter from HB. Doesn't really give any directions for doing anything. Just you normal warning literature, like keep away from children and don't use where there's high voltage, etc,...
I take it I'll be able to figure out how this is turned off and on once I find it? The levers on the center of the dash doesn't really move all that well. I'll have a chance to work on this...
Man my OD is showing some life! Today is the first day I've gotten into my van TWICE and had the OD working both times I got in! Usually it will work once sometime during the day, and as long as...
Well I was kinda leaning towards these Gorilla locks. I figured you can't go wrong if you picked something that has "Gorilla" in the name. Your pick looks good too! I don't think anyone would mess...
I'll take a look at your website tomorrow. I just so happened to take a peek at my email and saw there was a notice.
The wreckers are a bit of a hit and miss. The two I've hit and didn't get...
Wonder if I could find those on ebay? hmmmmmm..............
Hey wirewrkr,
If you got anything online, please do share. I'd love to see what it is you're working on or selling. Not easy reinventing yourself after putting in a good amount of your life into...
wwoooo doggie!!!! Cutting up a Craftman deep socket just for dealing with this part huh? Think I'm going to look at ebay or try some kind of cheapo tool store. I value my Craftmans.
Getting...
Holly crap there's alot of locks to choose from on ebay. Over 600 when I search for "wheel locks Toyota". Anyone have any experience on locks that they like or don't like? Any recommendations?
...
Well I couldn't get to the wreckers till today and I would have to say I'm rather satified with what I was able to find.

If these are kinda dark, I can photo them in the day time and...
Wish I could help you Reducto. I'm also looking at making mine a camper mobile. I haven't tackled as much as you have, I don't think, but I'm always curious to what others are doing. I also got a...
I noticed this question got kinda browsed over. :whistle:
Don't tell me the vents are those little things on the top of the ends of the dash? Can take a pic of them if no one knows what I'm...
Dang man, I don't have my bike anymore. :?: I used to have an '86 R80 with rack and bags. Might still have a couple of extra bags.
You not selling bicycling stuff are you?
Thanks wirewrkr, I've been to JT before and my last time there was on my BMW motorcycle. I've been not to far from JT fairly recently. I went with my tribe to Slab City. We went there two years in...
Thanks for the thorough explanation on this Tim. I knew most of it, but was kinda clueless about the venders with "Toyota" in their names. It would be nice to get a complete list of these venders...
Looks like CostCo is extending the offer on these Michelins. I told them there's alot of rad folks that driving Toyota Vans and they would love to get in on this deal! So we negotiated back and...
I'm having abit of confusion on what exactly is dealer item and what is aftermarket. Is www.discounttoyotaparts.net parts considered aftermarket or dealer? How bout http://www.toyotapartszone.com? ...
It's really kinda funny how it seems that people in the north don't have any intentions giving up their air, while people in the south are looking at doing so. I am also looking at giving up my air,...
Thanks for the info eddie, yeah as I said before, the cheapy is good for getting started. I'll pick one up this Sunday. I have a lazer temp gauge I picked up about week ago online for less than...
Hey Tim,
Are these parts included in the Toyota Valve grind gasket kit? I guess my question would also be, what's in the valve kit?
Hey guys,
Looks like I'm getting ready to do the HG and head work bit soon. Looking at other things I might need to do as well. I haven't seen very much on the timing belt, or is that timing...
Hey skibum,
Do you have model numbers on these or a link? What's nice about the $5 HF one is that you can still look for a better one and can have the cheaper one as a backup.
Thanks for the...
OK I got this notice for yours, but all the others, no notice. :dizzy:
HOLLY COW I HAD MY OD WORKING TODAY!!!!!! :dance2:
Man that's nice going 70 mph and barely getting to 3000 rpms!!! I'm not really all that good at listening to my van but I think she was telling...
Thanks for the reply wirewrkr! I just need a simple one that will get me started. If I feel I need a nicer one, I'll gravitate to one. I might go pick this up tomorrow.
@Tim, Looks like I'm...
Hello all,
I'm not really any kind of electronic guru, but I am wanting to learn and have the desire to better my insight. As of now I don't have any kind of ohmmeter and am looking into a...
OK I wana get back into fixing this OD problem I'm having. I'll list just about all the the steps listed above and status and then I'll state what is happening. BTW, I also read the Sensors to...
Looks like all the auto parts stores worth checking don't have a substitute for this valve. I tried Oreily, Autozone, and Napa. All coming up empty. I did see that ...
I was kinda hinting around a connection on getting this valve at the cheaper price than $60. Seems a bit high for stupid little thing with no electronics either. Looks like other Toyotas have these...
Yes they gave it two tests and it flunked both of them. Funny thing is it drove ok all day today. OK, I didn't drive on the freeway. And yes that's the valve I was interested in replacing BEFORE I...
OK looks like I'll be doing the head sometime in the future. I managed to read every thread that had "head gasket" in the title. I saw your write up on replacing the parts along with the head work....
OK thanks skibum,
I think I'll have some time to do this tomorrow. Looks like I'm going to be taking my head off pretty soon. I gota find someone to do the machine work.

I see you're in SD treslehed, what's the deal if I needed a shroud made? Any connections? I haven't given up yet on the stock cooling system. I'd still have problems regardless of which cooling...
JR,
Looks like there's bubbling happening at the radiator cap. There was always gasses coming out as the video shows.

Hey skibum,
Thanks for the response. I'm somewhat new to the TV and have a bit trouble navigating around it. Is there anyway to give more info on to where exactly is this valve? Sounds like...
Hey Tim, OK so here's the recap on all done and status,
Waterpump - Duralast made in Japan, life time warranty
Fan clutch - Hayden made in USA life expectancy of the clutch is 60,00 miles or 5...
Hey ARP,
Is your system documented anywhere? Maybe with some pics?
Thanks,
