Well I've got over 10,000 miles on the Gabriel Proguards I mounted and recommended last fall and thought I'd give an update. So far I still recommend these shocks. They've broken in a little more and...

So my Van has been slowly loosing coolant and I've been slowly tracking down potential problems but have yet to find the cause and was hoping for some thoughts. Last fall I went through and replaced...

Tim, Thanks for the reply, I totally get that the sensible option is to by the Aisin Clutch and be done with it, but as a life long tinkerer I always like to fix things when I can so my question...

Thanks for that link, I've read it before, but I had forgotten some of the more pertinent points. So I inspected my fan clutch as well and there is no silicon leakage (it's still shiny and silver) so...

So I got my new toyota brand thermostat and other than spilling a bunch of a bunch of coolant on the floor it went together really smooth. I took it for a test drive today and going about 10 miles on...

Thanks Tim,
As always you're a fantastic resource for working on these vans. I am wondering though, everyone is so adamant about using toyota brand thermostats and I was wondering why it's so...

So I replaced many of the coolant hoses on my van this fall (all the ones that were leaking or weeping) and my van had been running at really good temps all winter and then last week it started to...

Thanks Tim, as always you have just the information that I seem to need.

Hi all, While I've had time I've been tracking down all of the little things that I've been too busy to fix on my van and while looking for the source of a very little Coolant leak I think I found...

He didn't say either way, What shocks do you have under it right now, because if they're not something specifically longer than stock I think these would work, I think it would also depend on how...

I figured I would throw in my shock experience since I haven't seen any posts about these. The Gabrield Progaurd shocks were recomended to me by the owner of toyotavans.org and being that I didn't...

So I realized why I had it listed differently than I thought. My title and registration all says that it's and 88 but the vin says its a Dec of 87 so I'm not sure if there was a mix up at some point...

So I've been slowly plugging away at fixing all the little odds and ends wrong with my van. I found a bad vacuum hose and after replacing that my O2 sensor goes off less often. IT still goes off...

So I finally got around to checking my diagnostic codes and I'm getting a 2-1 code and a 5-1 code. The 2-1 code is a O2 sensor malfunction which surprised me because from what I've read that usually...

I bought my van this april and did some basic maintenance( replace air intake, new plugs, new air filter, new fuel filter, oil change, etc.) then drove it across the country 2000 miles. I noticed...
