  1. Ask a valid question and someone may answer you. Asking if someone has certain parts years after posting is useless. Exactly what is it you need Linda S
  2. Firestone doesn't make airbags for our units anymore. Airlift motorhome airbags are still available and are rated just as high as the old Firestone ones were. Up to 5000lbs of lift. Linda S
  3. Seabreeze is the same as Dolphin and most of them have T9 airbags. The bags they used were made by Firestone and max inflation is about 100psi. I run mine at 50 to 60 usually. I would consider 40 the minimum for a motorhome and 80 max. Somewhere in between you'll find what works right for you. No measuring required. Just look to see if your motorhome looks level front to back and side to side. Some rigs with all the appliances, tanks and stuff on one side list slightly and the air bags can take care of that. Never let the Air bags completely deflate. Weight of the motorhome can rip the rubber. I also use mine to level at camping spots. Let air out where I need it so my fridge is level. Can't adjust enough at extremely uneven ground but enough at most developed campsites. Linda S Oh and Doug. Our rigs are always overloaded
  4. Absolutely not. Lots of tires available online. Shipping is usually free and prices are way better than you could find locally. Just Google 185r14 tires, no middle aspect ratio, and dozens will come up. Just nothing with an ST or trailer on the description. Here's one popular company. None of these are trailer tires 185R14 Tires | Shop at Priority Tire Linda S
  5. 1 ton T100 will give you very close to the same track as the outside wheels on a dually. Dually is 61 inches WMS to WMS. The T100 is 66.75. So you get an extra 2.8 inches on each side. Should be very close to the extra width from the outside dually wheel. The payload on these trucks was 2500lbs. More than a lot of newer V8 trucks. Linda S
  6. No your chassis is narrower than the later models. You need new shock mounts welded on, larger U-bolts and a bunch of stuff I can't think of right now. Linda S
  7. National RV who made Dolphin was the only company who made any effort to help customers with the axle upgrade. For that reason you will find more Dolphins with the true dually. Of course some never got upgraded. You know what a full float dually looks like. Just always ask for pictures of the rear axle hub with no wheel covers on it. Linda S
  8. Don't be discouraged by negative comments. It's a 3/4 ton ,slightly overweight vehicle that just needs service same as any other vehicle. Do take one thing at a time though and shocks are the right thing to start with. Linda S
  9. Here are all axle related parts for your truck. All factory OEM. https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/parts-list/1983-toyota-pickup/power_train_chassis/rear_axle_shaft_hub.html?filter=(d=USA;1=22R;5=MTM;6=4F;7=HVY;9=IV) Linda S
  10. Yeah that is weird. I even looked on the companies website instead of just Rock Auto. Year must be the difference but our seats aren't that much different. Linda S Yup year is the difference. Rock auto prices are 100 bucks less that the company website. Good deal.
  11. Those are beautiful but all the bucket seat with separate headrest say headrest covers not available. Linda S
  12. You did put seals in when you put back together, right? Especially the axle shaft seal. That one is a must. Linda S
  13. You got a great deal but it's unlikely you would see any difference between the 195's and the 185. Less than a half inch difference on diameter and width isn't going to be noticeable on a tire. Linda S
  14. I love the look of most of these import campers but I don't drive on that side. Too old to change. Most of Europe drives on the correct side of the road and Germany and Italy have made some awesome campers. I check eBay in those countries from time to time just to see what's there. Germany also makes some really nice truck campers for smaller trucks. Linda S Just remembered. Met a couple from Germany a few weeks ago driving the motorhome they brought with them. pretty small, all fiberglass and very cool. Didn't get the name of it though
  15. Just checked. Maximum width of West Coast Jr is 15 inches. My mirrors on my Sunrader outside edge of mirror is 20 inches. Big difference Linda S
  16. Your coach is narrower than most of ours. Doesn't come out far enough for me to see properly. I would have to add some kind of extension Linda S
  17. Looks beautiful. We would very much like to know what truck mirrors you found that fit. Lots of us have rusty loop arms that aren't going to last much longer. Linda S
  18. I think I found what you need. Aftermarket NISSAN D21 GRILLES 1986-1992 | NISSAN OEM Part F586001G25 Partslink NI1239101 | replacement NISSAN D21 GRILLES - ISO Certified (nationalautobody.com) Linda S
  19. I did say all hoses on that side. I stuck a fat pen in mine and didn't loose enough trannie fluid to even measure Linda S
  20. Front axle on a 4x4. Rear on a dually. You need to realize I am searching on a Toyota website and input all necessary info on the vehicle before I do my search. If I get it wrong it's because Toyota screwed up. Linda S
  21. I made no mistake. Look at the vehicles it fit. Do you see the WT? That means the dually axle and only the dually axle. I'm also quite certain this is a job I have done and you have not. Linda S
  22. Location is what matters. When you first posted I searched for any members near you who could help and found none. Doesn't mean there aren't any Toyota motorhome lovers near you but you're going to need a wider audience. Post on Craigslist and Facebook so you can interest as many people as you can. Take pictures and post them in the ads. Make it look as nice as possible Good luck Linda S
  23. Here's your outer axle gasket 43422-35010 - Toyota Parts Deal And here is the inner seal 90311-62001 - Toyota Parts Deal Both reasonable and original Toyota parts Linda S
  24. I do need a boat. My seams all split apart during the last Shasta trip. I was very lucky it didn't do it far out or I would have lost my motor too. This one is a little too big for me though. These things can create some bone crushing G forces. My bones are pretty old. I think I want to keep them not crushed. Linda S
  25. Water is fine for now and you might be able to see where it's leaking. Leaking coolant on the ground is a no no. Animals will try to drink it, it's sweet, and die. Have you tried to start it since you reattached that hose. A vacuum hose off will make it not start. I also think your battery is probably too dead to start it anyway. Sorry we can't help more. Linda S
