  1. Just wondering what kind of thermostat you are running in a 22r. 180 or 190. I have a 18 or 20 foot dolphin with a 22r. I just did lots of motor work and when I drive on the freeway it wants to heat up past the center of gauge not enough it over heat but it gets lots hotter than my 22r in the crawler with 39s. When I took the motor apart I noticed it did not have a thermostat at all. i just changed the water pump, thermostat, all hoses and head gasket flushed the radiator a few times and had the head checked. I have probably put one take of gas since I fixed it and it runs great other wise. any ides do I need a new bigger radiator, Flex light or ????

    Thanks

  2. I just recently picked up a toyota dolphin with 130000 miles a blown head gasket and mangled timing chain for 1000 dollars. I dumped 400 dollars into it and got it running enough to pass emission and get titled. My question is what is the towing capacity of a toyota dolphin with 22r and 4sd transmission its the 1 ton version. I know it cant be much but I was going to fab up a hitch this weekend. My guess would be no more than 1000 pounds. It surprised me how peppy it was when I finally got to drive it thought it would be much slower.

    Thank you
