Thank you all for your suggestions and links. UPDATE: Motor is out and I am searching up to 600 mile radius from San Antonio for a wrecked T100 / 3.4 with under 200K miles to purchase. Not easy to find. Anyone know where I could find one? Currently searching Craig's list and Insurance online auctions. After taking off the oil pan it was obvious that number 3 and 4 crankshaft bearings had spun and this 3.0 motor with only 116K miles is history. Ed

I am pulling my 3.0 VZE motor because of spun bearing and numerous other issues. Searching Craigs list there are so many good 3.4 5VZE's for sale, no 3.0 3VZE's in my area. My first choice is to replace with a 3.4. Yes, I see a lot on the internet about this with 4Runners, but has anyone actually done it themselves on a Toyota motor home? I think I am most worried about the wiring issues. I also see suggestions about Buick 3.8 for replacement. I am not really looking for more power, just reliability. I am not interested in a shop doing it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ed

Ks, Ne, Ar, Ok, Mo, Co, Nm, "or TX" Would be geat. I would come. Ed from Texas

The vinyl decal set came from ebay. Here is the old link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FEMA-CAMPER-DECALS-HORSE-TRAILER-CAVALIER-GRAPHICS-HOUSEBOAT-JAYCO-KEYSTONE-ALJO-/280825747259?_trksid=p4340.m503&_trkparms=algo%3DRIC.CFNP%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D160407876977%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D6289273499755863548 I don't see this set listed anymore but the seller, cajunmoney77, is constantly listing others and I think he has a big stock. The ITASCA lettering I purchased from a vinyl lettering booth at our local flea market for $7.50 each.

I know a lot of you have looked at your old, faded, and cracked decals and thought about replacing them. Here is a picture of my 92 ITASCA Spirit I did myself. It cost less than $200 but took several months to complete. I would be happy to share any info on this project if you have questions.

In case anyone is still trying to organize this for 2012, we would definitely come. Ed Nelson San Antonio
