I only want to tow a small light trailer for an off road motorcycle. I need the lights working, but don't want to cut up the wiring up. This is my third Toyota Mototrhome. All the Toyota Motorhomes I've owned before had the wirings cut up and different things done to them by past owners. It sometimes becomes a wiring mess with lots of headaches and you don't know who's done what (and sometimes why, lol) The 94' Itasca is all factory wiring and nothing has been altered in the wiring dept. I want to keep it that way.

I tried a place in Salinas, Ca months ago. They had a Draw-Tite plugin style T-connector for the same Toyota Truck year (94), but the connectors in the package were square. The connectors on the 94' Itasca rear tail lights are round. I am beginning to think that Toyota or Winnebago changed/installed to different end connectors (round ones) on the Truck's rear light wiring so that it would match the end connectors for the coach/camper rear tail lights connectors.

Maineah, Is there any known companies that make a plug in harness for trailer hitch wiring for a 1994 Toyota Wiinebago Itasca will work without cutting into the factory wiring? I would like to find something that can plugin inline that are a 'Plug N Play' style that simply unplug the wiring that plugs into the rear tail lights and T-connectors inline with the factory rear taillight pugs? Something like the ones at this link: http://www.reese-hitches.com/vehicle_filter/T-Connectors,385 I would like something that is simply to unplug the factory plugin, plug the T-Connector inline, have rear trailer lights, without cutting up the original wiring. If you know of one that will work please give me the company name and the part model number. Thanks, Ted

Who makes a decent aftermarket Oxygen sensor? Anyone have a favorite brand that works better than others for a 1988 Toyota 22r-e (EFI) engine?

Hi Shoprat and Maineah, Thanks for answering my post. The sensor is working. But as far as I know, it is the orignal sensor (past 80,000 miles). The manual said it is the be replaced at 80,000. No biggy for me to install the sensor. A few of questions: 1) If I replaced the sensor with a new one, should I see an improvement on fuel milages? And, my Dolphin id a 21 footer. The exhaust runs clear to the back of the Dolphin's rear bumper (one long tailpipe, whew!) Anyway, if I shorten the exhaust pipe to exit behind the rear tires and between the leaf spring (I've seen a few of them on the road with that setup), should that help the engine as well? 2) Sooooo, between the sensor and tailpipe shorting, would that help increase the fuel mileage? 3) Also, has anyone been/tired using the Flowmaster mufflers? Thanks, (please answer each question independantly)

Anyone willing to chime in about the Oxygen sensor? Thanks,

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I own a 1988 Toyota Dolphin (model 900, with 22re, and auto tranny) in fabulous condition. I have read different topics on this subject. Maybe someone here is well informed and can offer some great input and answer this question for me: In my original owners manual, it's say the Oxygen sensor will be replaced at 80,000 miles (parts and labor free). I live in California. I called the Toyota Customer 1(800)331-4331 number twice and they are meeting me with resistance about it. The first call said they would replace the sensor. The second call said they would not replace the sensor. Is Toyota supposed to replace the Oxygen sensor after 80,000 miles free of parts and labor? If so, how do go about getting it properly accomplished free of charge and Toyota to honor what is printed in the manual? Thanks,
