Lots of pick and pulls close but you have to go there and see what they have. I have seen Toyota Uhaul trucks at pick and pull a few times
There are also several Toyota only wrecking yards in Rancho Cordova. Can't hurt to give them a call

Hello everyone my light and my Toyota bathroom or my ceiling fan will work every time I go to replace the fuse it blows the fuse as soon as I plug it in

Yes you could have blown a fuse. 12 volt blows fuses not breakers. Have you checked your power converter? Those fuses are hard to tell if they are good or not but they are very cheap so sometimes I will just replace them all. Make sure you use same size that was there before. Does your water pump still work? Shouldn't have blown out all the 12 volt. You did reconnect that wire though right

I put a Ford 88 gear and my Toyota re22 engine and I had a four-speed manual and I'm turning 3800 at 60 MPH so I was wanting to go to a five-speed manual but I need to know what five speed will boat up to my four-speed bellhousing without me having to do any modifications does anybody know which five speed in which vehicle I need to get it from. And I haven't done a gas mileage check yet I was getting about 20 miles to a gallon here in the flats of Michigan before I made the gear ratio change and I was only turning about 3,000 RPM to run 60 MPH now I'm turning 3800 RPM so I would think that I'd be consuming a lot more gas I just haven't done no few mileage check yet
I meant to say a 488 gear

You can stick a complete differential section from most any four-cylinder Toyota truck or 4-Runner from 1977 to 1994 with a few exceptions.. Also some Tacomas that are even newer. Not many made though with 4.56 gears. A few 4-Runners that came new with 32" tires as I recall. A 90s 4-Runner with factory 32" tires, 8" "four cylinder rear" and the OEM 4.56 gears is what you'd want to find.
If buying new parts - you'd need a new ring & pinion, gasket, and an install kit. The kit comes with some gear-marking compound (Prussian Blue), some shims, new pinion seal, and a new crush-collar. Gear set is $150 and the install kit is $25. The bigger expense is the labor to get it installed. When setting up the gears - there is no "half right." It has to be setup pretty much perfect or the gears will make noise. Not every person in every shop will know how to do it. In fact, the majority of shops now-adays probably do not know how. At least not on my side of the country. It takes me half-a-day to set one up and that is with the differential out and on my bench. But I've done maybe ten in my entire life and am slow. For a shop that does many - it's a two hour job (just diff, when out of the truck).
The photos gives you some idea of what it all looks like. The last photo is the speedometer-correction gear-box. That adds another $80 to the job if you want the speedometer and odometer to rear right. Toyota never made any correct speedometer drive gears for a 4.56 rear and the 185R-14" tires.

FWIW, I think other posters have covered this topic better than what I have to say. Consider this just another opinion.
Handling, power, convenience, MPG, comfort, and durability, these seem to be the considerations. I have very limited experience in the specific category of motor homes. My prior coach was a class C 1976 Dodge El Dorodo with a 360, full floating dual axle set up as a single, 18 footer. The Dodge was a van cab and chassis vs a truck cab and chassis so the 18 foot was nearly equivalent to my current 21 foot Toy. Amenities are same although the space over the cab is bigger on the Toy and the Toy has rooftop air (so not quite the same;-). The weight was within a couple of hundred pounds.
Handling: Cn't comment on the V6. From comparing the 4 Cyl Toy, hands down the dodge. Although, nothing I can't deal with and frankly I have driven equivalent Dodges in van trim that handled much worse than my Toy. Maintaining what is there is critical and if done I am OK with the 85 4 cyl Toy.
Power: I did love the Dodge. 70 MPH, not even remotely a problem as long as you didn't mind 8 or perhaps even less MPG. Frankly I enjoyed that and frequently couldn't stop myself from doing so. Is that really a good thing? Why do I really want to take the people I Love so fast in what is such an inherently unsafe vehicle? The V6 appears to be a big improvement in power but having owned and enjoyed something way beyond that, for me, the increased power simply isn't worth the decrease in MPG.
Convenience: Don't have an opinion on this as I haven't serviced a V6. The 22re is uncomfortable in that the valves need to be adjusted hot and the timing chain tensioner may need to be replaced. The V6 will need the timing belt changed and I don't know how inconvenient that is. From what I can see and after replacing nearly all engine rubber, the 22re is easy to work on and surprisingly the parts are readily available. Assume the availability of parts is the same on the V6 but I don't know how hard the V6 is to work on. (The Dodge, being a van, was no fun and parts are more sketchy.)
MPG: Truth is on one level you could argue that the Doge wins because it is such a trivial cost in the whole cost of ownership for an RV so of course the V6 is a better choice than the 4. My take on that is that sometimes rational economics is anything but. I want better MPG even though it may be tough to make that argument economically. Oil is a finite resource and until there is a viable alternative why do I want to waste something so valuable when I don't have to?
Durability: Seems to me that engines as durable as the 22Re are a rare breed and I just don't think that the V6 is quite at that level. Kind of like the Dodge -- a pretty good engine but I think the 22re is a great engine.
Comfort. Frankly in anything this old all I have to say is make it what you want.
Please forgive this rant or enjoy it for what it is -- someone new to this community expressing how amazing I think our little Toys are. Personally I really like the 4 but I am sure the V6 is still better than the overwhelming majority of competing RVs.
From my understanding is the V6 that needs the valve trainer adjustment like every 60,000 miles not the re22 engine

Well this isn't a big V8 engine. These Toyota engines are made to run at higher RPM's. Stresses the engine more to run too low and lug the engine. If you are running stock 185r14 tires, your tach is off. With 4.10 gearing your RPM's at 60mph should be around 2350. I find it hard to believe you can even keep it at 60 in overdrive. Just the wind resistance is enough to slow you down. The constant back and forth from overdrive to 3rd also heats up the trannie and can destroy it.

Good morning I switched to a 488 and my Toyota mini motor home. It's a 1986 Grandville with a 4-speed manual. And I'm turning about 3,800 RPM at 60 MPH. Was wondering if this will hurt my engine you're driving for hours this way. In the meantime I'm trying to find me a 5-speed manual that will bow up to my four-speed bell housing without any modifications so I have a two questions here and I was wondering if anybody can answer both of these questions thank you

I have a 1986 Toyota Granville motorhome has 101,000 MI and it has the re22 engine 4-speed manual with 488 gears.
It has brand new brakes all the way around the head was redone on it. Brand new radiator brand new clutch fan brand new thermostat brand new belts.
The roof has never shown evidence of leaks.
There was a new motherboard put in the gas furnace a couple years back.
It's all original the inside I did paint the ceiling just to brighten it up. Everything works as it should. And I have lots and lots and lots of current receipts of the work I've done to the motorhome. I guess what my question is here is what is the value of this 86 Toyota motor mini home and once again it's a Grandville.
