Propane tank replacement for 1986 Toyota Dolphin
linda s replied to Coldwind's topic in General Discussion
Got nothing from those markings except the possible valve maker. Most Dolphins use a 20 lb removable horizontal tank and they are readily available like these https://www.google.com/search?ei=yUisW-TKN8_0tAXH9qugBg&q=20%23+horizontal+propane+tank&oq=20+horizontal+propane&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0i22i30l7.64199.79561..83181...1.0..4.152.5503.0j44......0....1..gws-wiz.....6..0j35i39j0i131j0i67j0i20i264j0i20i263i264j0i20i263.2NW1pX7ONNk Not the flame king but all the others Linda S -
Yes generators were an option. My 86 has a Kohler. Not made in many years. Most parts unavailable and so loud I never use it. I wouldn't recommend paying extra for a motorhome with one. The only built in generator currently available for a motorhome is the Onan. I do know some people who have fit them into a Sunrader generator box. Possible that a few of the later 90's Sunraders came with them but I'm not sure. Gen sets were always an option and an expensive one. Onan Microlites can sometimes be found on craigslist for a reasonable price. Linda S

The Airlift kit for your truck has a lower capacity than the motorhome one but the Firestone kit is 5000lbs same as the motorhome one. Look https://www.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/77A4899A3579326.aspx Linda S

No that wouldn't be a lift. Just good springs. A lift on a 4x4 is an actual kit required to lift front and back installed for full frame or just body. If I thought you had one I would have recommended the 5100 series Bilstein's which are just for lifted trucks. Linda S

Is his 4x4 lifted? I don't remember reading that. I thought it was a regular 4x4 truck chassis. Linda S

Well maybe someone here could help. Or you might be able to find someone. Find a Toyota motorhome and ask if you can carefully measure their air bag system to see if it will fit on yours. Jim is in Florida but I don't know how far away. Bet there are others too. Linda S

Yes we drive dual wheeled 4Runners. My 86 comes up the same way. The heavy duty ones in other parts of the world were still called Hilux but here they decided for some reason to call them 4Runners. Linda S

Absolutely go for the Escaper Well made motorhomes and it will have the full float axle and fuel injection. 5000 is a fair price. Linda S

The 2000lb lift one you show is supposedly only for the extended cab. I have no idea why they would need a different set for an extended cab. I did look at them further and the part number for the regular cab 2wd and 4x4 is the same. 59502 https://www.sdtrucksprings.com/suspension-air-bags/air-lift-air-bags/toyota/truck-suv/pickup So if these sets fit both 4x4 and 2wd I think the 5000lb motorhome one might fit your rig.

Rear stabilizer bars were standard on the dual wheel trucks from 86 on. The part number for your rear bushing is the same as the front. https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~bush~stabilizer~for~rear~48815-14160.html?Make=Toyota&Model=Pickup&Year=1990&Submodel=2+Wheel+Drive&Filter=(d=USA;1=3VZE;4=STD;7=RCB;8=WT;9=HLF;11=EFI;13=IV6;14=T1)&Location=rear-spring-shock-absorber,,48815R Linda S I wish I had known this when my rear bushings died around 10 years ago. Guys at Toyota told me there was no such thing and it had to be after market. I ended up using some marine bushings I had to cut metal disks on the sides off. Still there though and worked fine

I think this would work. The Land Cruiser tank I mentioned. Fits sideways in rear like yours. 25 gallons. Sending unit and tank straps would probably fit too. https://m.buyautoparts.com/1/1/143797-fuel-tanks-toyota-land-cruiser-1997-oem-ref-7700160380.html Linda S

Looks like Toyota still has the part if that helps. https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~valve~sub~assy~high~altitude~compensator~25709-38010.html?Make=Toyota&Model=Pickup&Year=1984&Submodel=&Filter=()&Location=vacuum-piping,,25709 LindaS

Google the names and look at them online. The Chinook is the smallest and also going to be 78 and older. The others were made until the early 90's and have different engines, fuel injection and some a V6. Best thing to do is start looking at everything near you, Craigslist is the best for current sales. Some websites list Rv's that have already sold or are far away. Linda S

My 86 Sunrader only had staples. Is yours an east coast version, flat front windows, or a west coast, wrap around front. The staples can also be very irritating because they used about a thousand or more. Linda S

Make sure you know where the coach is attached to the frame. Floor might be a part of that and you don't want to dig too deep. I've never inspected an Odyssey so I don't know. Linda S

The sooner I answer , the sooner I get to see what you do with that baby. I am so excited. Linda S

Some just call around. Your in florida. Bet they all have it. You need premium high ply when you ask. Costs more but worth It. Linda
-
Definitely buy the best plywood you can. Marine grade is denser and stronger than the regular stuff. Linda S
-
I'm betting it was all installed as a compressed sandwich. Makes all the layers stronger than they were before. Home Depot insulation board is fine but you need to beef up the plywood since you can't compress like a factory can Linda S

87 and up have a beam that supports the roof. Some earlier ones have some sag from A.C. units. I don't have the beam but I have been on the roof of my Sunrader many times to change vents and wash. They are pretty darn strong. I used to be a whale of a woman. Don't ever call it a Sunseeker again please. It's Sunrader Linda S
-
I'll take a look at mine tomorrow too. Wow it would be cool to have. Linda S
-
Well I didn't know they existed but apparently they would be under the drivers side dash panel from 84 to 88. https://codes.rennacs.com/Petrol-Engine/Japanese-Korean/Toyota-Engines.php Linda S

Exactly what do think could happen to it. A tree fall on it? Linda S

Ok try here. Sounds like a great place. If he can't handle it I have another place but in Sacramento. I don't recommend you buy your own bushings. You can suggest he get the ones I posted though. They are top flight. He's already reasonable so not right to squeeze him more https://www.facebook.com/HumboldtARS/ Linda S

Just rear? if so here are the bushings. https://www.suspensionconnection.com/18-1005.html?gyear=1989&gclid=CjwKCAjwuO3cBRAyEiwAzOxKssoBfvIbO3lUVurPgT_GFM7NLiGQ1_rrP-PEDo_PIrihuNy9jd7JKRoCMEgQAvD_BwE Still waiting to hear back from Ed if he knows anyone good Linda S
