I'm gonna just go with manuals

thought i was one of the chosen few with no auto hub troubles.......I was wrong
-
Kicked it..........f**kin' auto hub started grinding away doing 60 km/h after needing 4wd to pull my boat out up the ramp, tide was out and was below the seaweed belt. If it's not one thing its another with this money pit...........same story with my wife, BUT I still love both of 'em.

Fuel pump was toast, yet again, cost a left testicle for the stock replacement, so I put a generic adjustable high pressure pump in for $48 bucks, Mcgyver'd the sending unit and voila!! runs like a turbo slug
-
BFG's. Original M/T's or KM2's? anyone suggest which is the better investment?
-
I replaced the temp sensor but good point!!
-
No it originally comes from a dealership in Duncan, a small town 30 min south of where I live and trust me.............it is no California hahahha
-
yeah, I'm thinking maybe it's a '95 thing only. The ECU for my truck seems to be a bastardized to '95 only (found this out when i wanted to replace it)
-
mine came on as soon as i unplugged it and came on with 'egr function' and no other codes no matter how many times i reset it.
-
"Dumb"? Thnak you for the input Mr. Zan, pulling the light may be dumb to some, but, if something is wrong i wouldnt know as I cant use the light as reference since it was on constantly anyways. As arrogant as this may sound, a lot of people in here as well as I dont need the truck to tell them something is wrong via dummy light to assume something is up. I will check for codes if something doesnt feel right. To each his own though right?
-
It didnt surprisingly enough! It was just giving the code that there was an EGR malfunction, I'm assuming with this, its not enough to throw it into 'limp mode'. It was getting the reading off of the the egr solonoid valve which has been yanked as well. The EGR is more or less for exhaust emissions and we don't have them on Vancouver Island. I'd still have it on of I hadn't cracked the egr casing itself trying to undo the exhaust tube. (damn manifold stud replacement). The only other thing I noticed since doing this is that the exhaust smells a bit 'richer'. Overall, I wouldnt recommend taking it out if there's no need to but if it is and you live somewhere there's no emissions laws, it doesnt hurt anything. Maybe just a bit of a drop in power but hey, on the pavement, these things are about as 'performance' like as a deep freeze on tires.
-
Took mine out, not much of a differnece. I took everything out, capped all the ported vacuum lines and exhaust tube to the manifold. The check engine light comes on with an EGR code and wont go out. I just pulled the bulb out while i had it out to fix the tach.

the 'Green Bastard' as given by my friends. (they all drive Yota's)
-
just traded my rotten '82 Yota for an '88 Wagoneer. I've now officially caught the illness, project 'pathraper' begins.

I ended up replacing all 6 of my injectors. I went with rebuilds from Lordco ($35ea.)new ones were close to $100. to get them bench tested & cleaned it cost double what it cost to replace them completely. I've had them in for about 4 months now and have not had a problem at all. besides, depending on where or whom you go through to get them, make sure they have a decent warranty so (even though it's a complete PITA to get to them) you can always get a new 'rebuild'. and while you're in there replace the o-rings and use a @!*% ton of white lithium for pressing them back in. Maybe consider replacing all of them while you're in there as Murphy's Law states that if you replace one aanother will go shortly after and so on..... Good Luck, and feel free to ask if you have any questions.

so.....I bought another round dash guage cluster for my puddpuller as the tach was a crazy bastard. The replacement cluster worked great for a month then started to do the same thing. I ripped it apart, pulled the head unit out and disected it. I sprayed the piss out of the windings and circuit board with electronics cleaner and scrubbed it all with a tooth brush, put it back together and now it works like it should! It's been two weeks now and hasn't acted up since so I'll cross my fingers this fixed it. If only I'd thought of this with the original. Just thought I'd throw this out there as it's easy enough to try (not to mention way cheaper) instead of pulling your hair out trying to find a replacement.

Toyota solid axle.
TugboatTony replied to TugboatTony's topic in Solid Axle Swaps, Hardcore Custom Fab
Awesome!! I just had the wrecker bring this thing to my house (and put it beside my other pathy) the wife's not impressed hahahhaha. Thanks though Helo, I'll definitely be bugging you in the near future. -
I couldnt figure out why my speedo was off either, I thought it maybe had something to do with the cluster as my tach is a crazy bastard. I've only got 235/75's on mine which is equal to 28" roughly. looked in the door jam? calls for 31" ers. put them on and voila! now if they'd only fix my tach too....

ever noticed how 'work' is a four letter word?

To my dear little girls, daddy loves you very much, but I might have to put you both in bubbles to prevent your perfectly timed alternating illnesses so that I can finally put my SL in. Sincerely, Dad.

Of course after putting in my ifs suspension lift a friend of mine wants to sell me his frame fu**ed 82' Yota. I'd like to build it into a trailer queen but if I could I wouldnt mind throwing the front axle into my pathy. To do this I was going to do a tube swap so the pumpkin is on the proper side. Anyone heard of or seen this done?
i just bought a 240v lincoln mig so I am almost sas ready!
