5Toyota

LINDA S old age likley does not help ether did you have it long before you had too do that. over thightening the belt or jump starting hooked up wrong can do damage that may not show up for a while. I DID NOT MEAN YOU DID IT. sombody did that to me once and did not show up for six months.

napa and car quest sell bends of pipe and swaged reducers and straight pieces of pipe i put my own on my 88 4wd and their heavy duty hangers were very heavy duty. auto zones hangers look like toys in comp. IS THERE ANYWAY YOU CAN USE THE OLD ONE FOR A PATTERN

the heads are not bad in price and seem too be very easy to find. myn is missing the correct arms . the arms some one put on are too short and somone put single heads on with gross extensions made out of hardware turn buckles. i bought a set that used to be on a toyota u haul have not got them on yet .

very likely with high miles the brushes are worn down and then they make interminit contac i know you know that already but some may not. Ihave taken a rubber mallet bang on alt brushes will work for a little while . I ALSO LOVED OVER HAUELING MY 74 datsun alt old Hitachi very easy to rebuild. 2 DATSUNS SEVEN TOYOTAS

LINDA CONG FOR your mec work and you are right it is a TOYOTA THING THE BRAKE LIGHT AWAYS COME ON WITH THE CHARGE LIGHT EVEN IF THE BELT BREACKS OR THE ALT ERNATER IS NOT WORKING first time for me 1977 wagen 20r in 1985 weard but true i was suprised they still that way on in the 1980s

When you said new master cyl i was thinking might have air in it. you dont want sluge in it anyway ANY AIR AT ALL WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS in the clutch or brakes BLEADING IT OUT IS THE SAME AS FLUSHING IT OUT willdo the same.

i would second that glass fuses will get old the ends get lose the fuses will look perfect will show good on an oms cotinuty test. but leave one end in conect a test light acrossto the fuse and the light on a load test will not lite. I had this same problm before i took all the glass fuses out and replaced with new ones and no more problem twenty five year old glass fuses can and do fall apart.

hi many pro mechs have recomended to me to try not to go below a forth of a tank if possable. with very low fuel in the tank when you corner hard you are starving the fuel pump efi pumps are eletric in the tank this can cause premature fuel pump failure. and running out of gas one or two times can burn the sumersable fuel pump out. same as running a water pump dry. you have to remove the tank to replace it and the pump itself is not cheap. can run 250 to 300 dollors in the box.

we used two coats of zinser kills primer and a good inside paint over the old panling in our 1978 what a differance it made .We left the cabnets dark for a nice contrast

i know that my son had a 1986 long box 4wd that had the full gauges with a tac.

it might not be as bad for you guys as my hands are not in very good shape anymore

yes my friend the right stuff sold only by the inch in the us/ not cheap. raditor hose is not a plan my man three feet is like 46 dollors. the old one had a date on it 1986 oem was in horrable shape. the stuff is sold cut to order or a full piece three feet long be shure you replace the small vent hose as well . that is sold by the foot not bad.some people use exast pipe to make bends used that on my 1978 . but the dolphin i just had to bend the hose a little it will do a long slope bend ok

Iknow some of the high end slide in campers lance etc have tank heaters but i no nothing about them.

b987 welcome glad you are geting there congts you have found what is known as a line fuse not in a fuse block

I have lived in the old houses these idits wired the same way. my sons house we dont know who did it they added on roofed over the weather head 240 volts going to the pole right through the three tab shingles we looked at that blew our minds not that way now crazy

you guys are right on i just love peoplewho wire lights and heater moter with speacker wire my 78 had junk of that format .I like to use the right wire and solder as much as i can. water pump wires in my new dolphin ran in the springs of the couch by some idit not any more. i really want to wake up in a bed of flames from a short WHY SPEND A DOLLOR ON FLEX HOUSING AND STRAPS OR ZIP TIES.

sorry no fotos rember myn is the 400 filler left of rv door take off outr fitting. best half tank or less they do have drain plugs. raise up camper then place jack under tank losen bolts on rear of tank remove bolts on front of tank lower tank down goes maybe 2 inches or so. take off clamps big hose and vent hose both were glued on by old age cut small one vice grips too remove end breack seal lose pull off from outside reinstall down from outside. made the vent hose little longer than old one vent hose worse then filler hose to get at . i

my 88 4wd xtra cab has a stock 60 40 split back bench seat . even has a center seat belt for what i dont know you would have one leg on the gas and one on the right side thers no room in front of the floor levers at all . maybe a three pound dog could ride there maybe. we have a 87 dolphin colium automatic with buckets . the buckets are much more comfortable. could got buckets in my truck 100 times i wish i had. but it would work better with a colium shift.

Just finnising up one of the worst pig of a jobs i have ever done replaced gas tank filler and vent hose. terable job bad as my spelling .lol never want too have to do agin

do you have an rv repair shop store in your area. whats wrong with the one you have. if it is made of black abs plastic that is glue able same as abs drain pipe. rv tanks are avalable new. might finde in wrecking yard.

if you have one of the very small cube models those light and adjust from outside.

to each their own but we love our oven. our son just bought a brand new Jayco pull behind no oven. their old unit sameway they carry a foldup colman oven . and use outside on a camp stove . Pizza, biscuts , chicken in the oven ya ya

you can maybe find a servicable used horzontal propane tank i got myn from a county hazerdous wast desposal site. and i just bought a spare from a wreacking yard. the one i have on my 1987 dolphin is dated 1973 the tank looked great shape. you take them to a propane service plant and get requlifed for 5 years for 5 dollors

check for side to side play both ways should be none. Take drivline down and check for frozen joints. my 4wd was clanking a bit put on a rack rear joint locked up. put in greasable ones
