So I left after 300$ to cleanse tank. In a get me home style. No bubbles in fuel line. Wial he said it was normal. He also said the pump valve was passing fuel threw the wrong valve. Not sure where to go with that. No bubbles now. In the end. I need to rebuild or replace carb. It was worse when we left the shop. Blocked jet. 4 cans of seafoam and 15 miles of mabye we get a camp or mabye side of road. It feels better. Will have more time in am to explore this. That said. This shop was amazing. They were obviously distraught they could not fix my truck. Only charged for tank removal. Fix the master brake vacuum leak for free. Iv spent stupid $ telling other shops what was wrong. To no avail. I'm always wrong..... Diversified Auto & Tire in New born NC. Adam is a younger guy. But has a datsun 720 and knew my Toyota r20. Highly recommend them. Plus a nice loaner truck. 97 Nissan pickup 5 speed. In a final note. My wife did insist I replace the gas tank 2 years ago. I did not. And it will be a long time before I live this down.

At a shop now. I'm told bubbles are normal with a mechanical fuel pump. I had never seen them before. Or never noticed them. They have pulled the tank and cleaned it. It was full of debris. A lot of debris . A year ago I drained it and found very little rust. There is a small lip by the drain plug. So no rust came out when I drained it. 2 year old fuel pump also tested low psi. Hopefully this expensive fix gets us home. 860 miles to home. Thanks. I'll leave an update.

Heading to nappa now for more fuel line. Smaller diameter. Or just run all new line. I believe I coused this when I switched filters and over tightened clamp. Even if it's not the main problem. Still needs to be fixed. I'll have to Google pcv valve. The only receipt that came with this truck was for a pcv valve. 4 years ago. Does not mean the p.o. put it in. Thanks.

Thanks. Cap is new . I'm running Marvel mystery oil. I'll throw in some sea foam. Exhaust was wielded last month. Not to say some critter didn't nest in it since then. Checking that now. I just found air bubbles coming into my fuel filter. Looking for a camp now to get under and track that down. Igniter is $230. At advance. I'm trying to avoid that.

Plug wires are new on the trip up a month ago. I just swapped out the new coil I put in then. for the old coil. That helped for about 40 miles. Was doing fine at 51mph and 25% throttle. Did not like going past 25% on the gas. Replaced vacuum lines that looked bad. And no change in idle when I spray them with carb cleaner. Could it be the igniter ?

It's fine upto 45. Then it gets unhappy. 75% throttle it stalls out or at 50mph any extra throttle it will backfire and stall if I don't let off gas. History It did 1000 miles to VA. Not happily. But the last few hundred miles was fine. Sat for 3 weeks . and barely over 35mph. Changed plugs. And fuel filter .There where fine. Ran fine again for a few hours. Then this started. Intermittently. Today it's constant. Plugs. Cap and coil are new. Any Toyota mechanic on the east coast. Currently in North Carolina. Thanks.

Campy. 1980 rbr. We side graded to a larger yesterday. How do you justify 2 rvs? We don't want to give up on this Toyota just yet.

Didn't see the link. Symptoms. Pedal got squishy . and several times went straight to floor. Had to pump to stop. First mechanic said master cylinder. The one in it had only a few hundred miles over 2 years. That fix lasted 2 miles. Next guy said warn rear pads. I had not changed them. Still had a little life. That fix lasted 2 miles. But they never failed completely after that. No air was found in the lines. Brake peddle does hiss when pressed. But every car. (Yes all old.) Iv owned hisses when the brakes are pushed. Granted it doesn't take much to stop a datsun pickup.

My brakes are inconsistent to non existent. Every bit is new except the booster. And newer now after 1000$ at shady mechanics. I've bought 3 new brake boosters in 3 days. All to get a reply later. It's not available and refund will take a week or 2. Rock auto will rebuild it. If I send it in. No time for that. Any ideas of where to find a new one? It just seems to not exist. Will trade unicorn for one.

Not sure what that heater is. But it's 12v. You don't need an inverter. The only problem iv come across that may need a pure sin. Is an induction cook top. Everything else. Fridge microwave.tv. AC. Is fine with any inverter. I would not plug in a desktop computer to one. For solar. 200 watts is more then we need on a good day. With 1 100ah batt. How much are you putting in? And what's your battery set up.

Was hoping to fix suspension. It's so rusted. Non of the mechanics I visited on this trip would touch it. I'll need a fabricated fix. Or get lucky and it comes off easily. Can't risk braking it mid trip. It's f ing scary.

Had 4 instances at parking speed. It felt like is was going to drop on its side. A 4inch drop from road to gravel. At the wrong angle. Felt like it would go over. I know I had the back wheels off the ground on another weird angle turn. Again low speed. 17ft ish rv. No roof top air. Window ac. At rear above sink. Not to high. Suspension is shot. Just did 1800 miles with it. Another 1200 to get it back home. From a sailing point. The keel or chassy should keep it up right. Is my thinking off?

Great reply. Was hoping a Webber would be the answer . or fit it to a Tacoma 4x4. Still throwing money at it. But not that much. It will never fit 2 humans and 2 cats. Or carry a motorcycle on its 5 lug axle. Broken down again today. Wiper went out. And house dc power is lost to. Was a long dark rainy drive with 1 headlight and no wiper. Up a back mountain rd. No rain ex around. Up date. Wiper fixed in 6 seconds. I expected much worse.

1980 20r . in the tiny rbr 17ft one. Almost hit 35 crossing the blue Ridge Parkway. In 2nd gear. It's not a happy camper. What's the easiest power option? Sup up engine? Swap engine? Swap house out for a Tacoma or somthing? What fits? We are in the market for a bigger camper. But the market is not great this year.

So our shake down trip has been a break down trip. The current issue is failing brakes. Master cylinder is only a few hundred miles old. Was still a little swishy after the new one. Every so often I have to pump the brakes to get them to catch. That's fine. The engine stalled out and I had no brakes at all. That's not ok. Emergency brake is shot too. Engine stall. I switch out all coil.cap. finally plug wires got it going. I had back up. Also switch out fuel filter. Think this caused my second stall. Wiggled loos or just not tight enough. Going back to the old filter got is going again. Hope it keeps going. And not some deeper mystery. Thanks. I do not recommend camping out in Macon GA.
