Unfortunately because of cover clearances, you can't go to double row. 75k is a little soon for the chain, you can pull the valve cover and look down the front on the drivers side and see if the guide is still in one piece. LC Engineering or engnbldr.com will have the replacement kits with the metal chain guides.

Try a genuine Toyota thermostat with the bypass valve.

"savingsage" just bought an 83 sunrader.... I asked what they paid.

Hey, do you mind me asking what you paid for the unit?

It seems a couple grand ,at least, more than I would pay, but keep in mind I only go for cheap deals. NADA only goes back to 89 and it shows an 89 sunrader at 4,400-5,300 RETAIL but I'm no expert. I wonder about water damage. The sunraders are supposed to be less likely to get leaks from the outside, but as Greg can attest, there can be water damage elsewhere. I seem to recall he had to replace his bathroom floor. Like I said, I know a lot more about the chassis than the camper itself so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Toyota went from 20R to 22R in 81. The difference between 22R and RE is that the RE is fuel injection, 22R is carbed. Fuel injection was first introduced in 85. 1983 was also the last year for double row timing chain and metal chain guides. No need to worry about it. The problem comes in 84 and later went to single row chain and plastic guides. The guides break and the chain slaps against the timing cover and causes coolant leak, but like I say, yer good to go. My clutch went out at 170k, but it all varies, I've heard from 130-230k from different people. If it does go, it's an easy $500 job at your mechanic. I'm assuming when you say upgraded axle, you mean the floating axle, not just the two rims bolted together. Thats all I can think of as far as the chassis go...

I did a conversion a year ago on my 93 Astro with the kit from Advance with no problem. It had four cans, one oil and three 134. Just remember it takes a good while to empty a can. I saw no difference between 12 and 134. My 89 Toyota pickup was done the same way before I got it and no problemo there. For 30-40 bucks it might be worth a try.

Just curious, had a guy over there ask almost the exact question over there a few weeks ago and I pointed him this way.

Are you the same guy from ToyotaNation?

OE or aftermarket, it should allow them to change weither it alerts you with a light flash, horn, or both..... but you probably couldn't get them to change it cause they probably don't care.

Looking on QRZ.com, there are a few "oh, this is the last days of amateur radio" and "it's gonna slide to nothing more than CB now" but here's the thing... thats the EXACT arguement we heard fifteen years ago when tech no-code was added. And how could CB be any worse than some parts of 75 meters? And they passed code tests! The only thing I saw change back then was an influx of new operators who breathed new life into dying radio clubs. I still want to learn the code but it probably won't happen as soon as I thought now. But I'll be one of the first in line at the VE to upgrade when this goes into affect (a month or so I think) I've already printed out the general element 3 questions for studying (at the inlaws next week )

Just to note, this also means that no-code techs now have the tech plus (or old novice) privilges on 80, 40, and 15 meter bands using CW, and on the 10 meter band using CW, voice, and digital modes.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NEWS MEDIA CONTACT: December 15, 2006 Chelsea Fallon: (202) 418-7991 FCC MODIFIES AMATEUR RADIO SERVICE RULES, ELIMINATING MORSE CODE EXAM REQUIREMENTS AND ADDRESSING ARRL PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION Washington, D.C. – Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration (Order) that modifies the rules for the Amateur Radio Service by revising the examination requirements for obtaining a General Class or Amateur Extra Class amateur radio operator license and revising the operating privileges for Technician Class licensees. In addition, the Order resolves a petition filed by the American Radio Relay League, Inc. (ARRL) for partial reconsideration of an FCC Order on amateur service rules released on October 10, 2006. The current amateur service operator license structure contains three classes of amateur radio operator licenses: Technician Class, General Class, and Amateur Extra Class. General Class and Amateur Extra Class licensees are permitted to operate in Amateur bands below 30 MHz, while the introductory Technician Class licensees are only permitted to operate in bands above 30 MHz. Prior to today’s action, the FCC, in accordance with international radio regulations, required applicants for General Class and Amateur Extra Class operator licenses to pass a five words-per-minute Morse code examination. Today’s Order eliminates that requirement for General and Amateur Extra licensees. This change reflects revisions to international radio regulations made at the International Telecommunication Union’s 2003 World Radio Conference (WRC-03), which authorized each country to determine whether to require that individuals demonstrate Morse code proficiency in order to qualify for an amateur radio license with transmitting privileges on frequencies below 30 MHz. This change eliminates an unnecessary regulatory burden that may discourage current amateur radio operators from advancing their skills and participating more fully in the benefits of amateur radio. Today’s Order also revises the operating privileges for Technician Class licensees by eliminating a disparity in the operating privileges for the Technician Class and Technician Plus Class licensees. Technician Class licensees are authorized operating privileges on all amateur frequencies above 30 MHz. The Technician Plus Class license, which is an operator license class that existed prior the FCC’s simplification of the amateur license structure in 1999 and was grandfathered after that time, authorized operating privileges on all amateur frequencies above 30 MHz, as well as frequency segments in four HF bands (below 30 MHz) after the successful completion of a Morse code examination. With today’s elimination of the Morse code exam requirements, the FCC concluded that the disparity between the operating privileges of Technician Class licensees and Technician Plus Class licensees should not be retained. Therefore, the FCC, in today’s action, afforded Technician and Technician Plus licensees identical operating privileges. Finally, today’s Order resolved a petition filed by the ARRL for partial reconsideration of an FCC Order released on October 10, 2006 (FCC 06-149). In this Order, the FCC authorized amateur stations to transmit voice communications on additional frequencies in certain amateur service bands, including the 75 meter (m) band, which is authorized only for certain wideband voice and image communications. The ARRL argued that the 75 m band should not have been expanded below 3635 kHz, in order to protect automatically controlled digital stations operating in the 3620-3635 kHz portion of the 80 m band. The FCC concluded that these stations can be protected by providing alternate spectrum in the 3585-3600 kHz frequency segment. Action by the Commission on December 15, 2006, by Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration. Chairman Martin and Commissioners Copps, Adelstein, Tate, and McDowell.

I know it's not a Toyota question but I thought maybe ya'll might know.... I just bought a Ford conversion van, it has the pleated shades that go up and down on strings. The strings are messed up on the bottom. Can I get replacements?

A man in a motorhome became hopelessly bogged down in an unexpected muddy hole along a dirt road. After a few minutes, a passing farmer drove by on his tractor and offered to pull him out for only twenty dollars. After the motorhome was back on dry ground, the RVer said to the farmer, "At those prices, I bet you're pulling vehicles out of the mud day and night. "Can't," replied the farmer. "At night I haul water for the hole."

I guess I don't have an opinion about weither they remove the code requirement or not. But I remember back in... 91 I think it was, when they started the tech no-code (this was when you still had Novice, Tech, Tech No Code, General, Advance, and Extra) and the ole-timers were having a fit, I mean, there were flare ups on the local repeaters sometimes about it. But that has passed, dropping the Novice and Advance classes has passed, and people still live on. Now I guess if they dropped testing someday (like the ole CB days) then I'd probably have a fit like the ole timers... go figure. At least if I pass this time I won't have to wait the 8-12 WEEKS like we did before the internet!

After putting it off and making up excuses for 13 years, I've started today to learn morse code. And I could kick myself cause I learned 5 characters in an hour. -.- . ....- --. -... ...

I don't have a motorhome, but I used Airlift bags on my Toyota and I love em. Your bags (besides being deflated) looks like the bottom has moved out of line with the top badly. Here is the best price for it, the picture is NOT the one in the kit. The one for that kit sits on the axle for axle over spring applications. http://www.stengelbros.com/catalog/57113_2025905.htm

I have seen this addressed on some other Toyota boards... I can't remember about the auto/manual differences but I do remember that if you put in the SR5 panel you MUST change out the oil pressure sending unit. The "idiot light" sender WILL kill the gauge on the SR5 panel.

Driving down the road... then all the sudden it was like I was in neutral... pulled over... Pedal seems pretty soft... won't pull in any gear forward or reverse... smell burnt fluid.. won't even engage a gear with engine off and i push the lever into a gear... weird... it was just fine just fine then wham nuttin... Anyone have any ideas? 4spd manual 89 22R carbed 2wd

Inclometer?
