  1. Agree, but I was not going to try to gap a 4-way bosch plug. ;-)
  2. even brand new campers need work. What you have here is a drive train that is 30 year old and sometimes you need to plan ahead to replace parts. But an equally important part of owning an old drive train is to educate yourself and know where you can source your parts when in need. if you are serious of keeping the toyo then I would stock up on parts that is needed periodically,
  3. 600 w will be enough to heat the camper, I bought a $8 fan heater from walmart and it heats my 31ft holiday rambler with a slide fine when the outside temp was 36F, it did not cycle much after I reached temp.
  4. x2, many years back I had a Honda accord, I picked some bosch 4 way plugs for it, it ran like crud. switched it to NGK as spec'd in the owners manual, bammm, ran much better. Yes, plugs are plugs, but as we found it is safer to stick to the oem spec'd one.
  5. Hey, John, what is a party boat? is it like a perch walk on charter boat in OH? I think they run $50 a head. You should come down to Muskegon in Mid Nov, do some jigging for white fish.
  6. I belong to Costco and I buy in vehicle insurance through ameriprise, they are kinda snotty but I get FREE roadside. Only caveat is that the vehicle has to listed on the insurance. used it 2 times in 15 years.
  7. Dolly, thanks for pics, I hear you going slow on the hwy. People here in MI rarely drive speed limit (70mph), I can take my sunrader up to 63 mph comfortable but people are still weaving in and out. What brand/model metal detectors are those pls? does it come with the hand wand detector?
  8. Toyota K16R-U is a denso 3119 hmm, but amazon says that it does not even fit your model year, I went to napa and they did not have any denso. NGK, bosch....
  9. Which spark plugs do I use for my: 1984 22 REC 1989 v6 Denso? NGK?
  10. good idea, I know a few people who do this. I am thinking of doing so in a few years. My work schedule does not let me take a lot of time at once off. so I rather drive the camper to x destination and then fly out with the girls and camp out. Florida, - some camp grounds will store for you. you can store in public storage. Just get an Uber ride or Super Shuttle to the airport. I have done so in Cali for work, I had a corolla, when I was gone for few weeks, I would park it at work parking lot and take supershuttle to Ontario airport. Find place where jet blue, or other cheaper airlines fly to. I have seen $29 fares on Allegiant airlines :-)
  11. Barbara Streisand on the "never leaked part", very hard to believe, I would rather believe that Anna Nicole married for love ;-). The reason that camper has a diamond alu plate floor is cuz of water leak probably, soft floor around the toilet/fridge area, ask how I know.
  12. check the hose going to the tank from the fill spout. I had similar problem with a new Altima I rented many years back. not sure if there was a bend or a kink, but I was a bear to fill slowly. you could buy one of those usb cameras for $20 off amazon and scope it :-)
  13. Let's plan a Lost Wages toyo meet and dinner is on Sherrie ;-) It took the entire toyo gang to get this one! Everyone pat your self on the back and have a cannoli. Good Job Sherrie, I think the main thing we learned from this thread is the PRO shops need to be told exactly how you want it done. Please drain and add some coolant after you baseline the toyo.
  14. glycol is the base, if you look at the MSDS you will see that it does not match exactly, I think I saw a benzene ring in one. Anyway spent way too much time in Chem lab in college, could have declared major in it, gives me headache now. I look for 2eha free coolant for aluminum toyo/honda zerex Asian Peak global lifetime (my pick), you can get this at sams club, napa in concentrate.
  15. Sherrie, I can't agree with the owner at Precision Perf, toyo red coolant does not get the blame here. mixing coolants is a no no as mentioned already. mixing coolant can produce a jello like consistency. I buy PEAK GLOBAL lifetime either full strength or already mixed (from NAPA or menards) for my Japanese vehicles, (toyo, Honda) the water pump is a weak pump, drain and fill with distilled a few times and then fill with peak global. Congrats!
  16. Nice clean one, pls post more pics of the inside and engine bay.
  17. lol, I see them running away from my diesel and my heart will stop beating for few seconds after that from the thought of the damage I am using live animal traps to catch and release them at the gun range 20 miles away.
  18. I don't like to throw things at a problem without knowing the root cause. Sherrie, you have a tiny tranny cooler in front of the a/c condenser. Pls buy a laser temp thing and gun the atf cooler, radiator (from the engine side) and tell us what the temps are when the truck overheats. What gear are you climbing uphill? I do mine in d3, I have turned my OD off and it drives fine and I can up to 62 mph without the engine being too noisy on my 22re 4 cylinder.
  19. doggie botties + dry cleaning bill = joke Glycol is not good any living breathing things. Nope, that is my 4wheel camper This is my sunrader :-)
  20. lol, unfortunate it is going to flow right into the side walk, I might have to pay for the dogs booties to be dry cleaned here is a view of the side walk from my step looking over my driveway.
  21. Yes Sir, new hoses and hose clamps, inspected vac hoses too.
  22. I looked at it and then I stared at it for few minutes and it reminded me how a 10 min project turned out to be a 5 hour deal and mucho mulas few times before. So I decided that pulling out the bottom rad hose will be MUCH safer option, :-) I have the worst luck with these stuff.
  23. I came across this: http://www.longrangeautomotive.com.au/products.html?page=shop.browse&category_id=17 saw some toyo guys with bigger tanks in Denver. Maybe they have bigger tanks for the campers!
  24. hey Sherrie and JDE, pls edit out the phone #s, the robot callers will pick up your number and you will get spam calls/text/faxes
