Thanks for the info! The ECT article is really interesting.

Would like to add a hood scoop to my '92 Warrior. Did any of the '89 to '95 trucks or SR5s have a factory scoop? I have noticed a little more power and mileage with the change to a K&N stock replacement filter and would like to route additional cold air to it to squeeze a little more out of it. BTW, I have a spare K&N Filter for 30 bucks if anyone is interested.

Has anyone installed the K&N Cold Air Intake system on the V-6 (Part No. 57-9006) and seen any performance/mileage improvemnt? The K&N system still takes air from under the hood rather than cold air from the grille area. I was thinking of installing their system and ducting some cold air to it.
My current set up, is the poor mans version. I've removed the silencer from the stock air intake box (which takes air from behind the drivers side headlight) and replaced the stock filter with a K&N. Didn't do any before and after tests.

Has anyone added an auxiliary automatic transmission oil cooler to the 4 speed auto?
I have a '92 Warrior with V-6, auto & air. There has been some excellent discussion in the forum
on the subject but I'm wondering if anyone has actually installed one and could recommend what unit to
buy, how to install it(in line or parallel), where to install (there's not a lot of room up front) etc. I'm
thinking a remote unit with a fan might be a good choice since it might be possible to mount it somewhere
away from the rad.
Thanks,

After contacting my local Toyota dealer searching for a replaceable transmission filter I learened there wasn't one.
I assumed there was a screen filter of some sort inside. Since time was running out before taking the Warrior on it's
maiden voyage ... I simply drained what I could from the transmission and then topped it back up. I found 2.5 litres came out. I may attack removing the pan this winter. I do recall there was something unusual about finding a pan gasket, either it cost a fortune or there wasn't one so you used silicone. Perhaps someone else can shed some light
on that!

I'm replacing the front pads on my '92 Warrior. Does anyone know what the torque specs for the front brake caliper bolts are? And the torque specs for bolts on the housing that holds the pads are?
Thanks,

The diesel has 9 rear springs (7 ride and 2 load springs). It is very.... well... stiff.... to say the least. It handles like a sports car in the corners but can be a little rough on non paved roads at any speed.
The sunrader has the stock 3 ride and 2 load springs + 1 Downey off road additional ride spring and Firestone Ride Rite bags. It is very cushy but does not sway any. I like the ride of springs and the additional Downey ride spring on each side made a difference in the way it handles but the air suspension is still in play too...
You can get a single replacement bag for your Ride Rite set up and just replace that. PPL has single bags for $123 and they are not hard to put in. No point replacing the entire set up for one leaking bag.

Thanks for the advice Diesel Mike. To borrow a line from Star Wars "You are the master, I am the student!"
I've discovered the other bag is also leaking. So far, I've got one of 'em out. (Had to remove the rear wheels to
get at the bracket) They are older Firestone bags called "3T Air Sleeve". I'll change up to Ride-Rites and possibly
add the Downey springs. Did the Warriors roll out of the factory with just the 5 spring stack and the Toyota rear shocks?

You should have air ride suspension not air shocks. If you have air shocks you should remove them and replace them with air suspension bags.
If they are Firestone Ride Rite the pressure is anywhere between 5-100 psi
Thanks Diesel Mike. You are correct I have air ride suspension bags. One of 'em is leaking air at the base of the bag. The actual shocks run inboard and parallel to the bags.
Is removing the bags completely and adding a 6th leaf spring an reasonable option? Any other ideas? (The FIrestone system
is 400 bucks locally!)

Hope you're having a fine summer!
Does you know what the air shock pressure range for the '92 Winnebago Warrior with the factory installed
rear air shocks is?

Laminate is formica over pressboard. Wait until it gets wet and swells. I know, I have it in my house. You have to use a special cleaning device so that it won't get wet. Read the instruction!! I wish you well but no way would I use that junk. Besides, it's slicker than snot when wet.
The laminate I used is from Ikea. They use it for their store floors and the instructions indicate water is not a problem.
Being a carpenter I thought I test would be in order. It passed with flying colors!

If you are considering ripping out your carpet like I did I would highly recommend replacing it with laminate flooring.
The thin, tough foam underlay allows the floor to "float" over the plywood subfloor preventing any stress cracks and
it also adds a level of sound and heat insulation. Originally I was going to install glued in oak parquet hardwood but
so far I'm very happy I went with laminate.

I picked up my '92 last fall for $9000 CDN. Asking price was $13,000. Same mileage, needed tires, thorough cleaning and general minor repairs/servicing. After spending the time I have fixing it up I glad a didn't any more for it... should
have offered $8000, actually...

When I bought my Winnebago Warrior earlier this year the Coleman Roof Air Conditioner was included but removed and laying inside on the floor. The ceiling grille, filter and control portion is missing. Did it have control knobs on it or is it controlled by the wall thermostat only? The previous owners son has agreed to look for it in "the workshop" but knowing what it looks like would be a help. Any chance someone could take a digital picture?
Happy Holidays,

OK, I've had my '91 Winnebago Warrior for a month now and I'm slowing going through it piece by piece, and component by component so it will be ready for lots of fun times next year. One question...is there supposed to be a spare tire somewhere? I can't find any evidence that there was ever a spare tire carrier underneath or on the bumper.

I picked up my '91 Warrior today and discovered the original Warrior Operations Guide cassette under the passengers seat. I've created and attached an mp3 dub. It's pretty corny but since my Winnebago Owners Manual is long gone there is some valuable info on it.
Has anyone gone to the trouble of scanning a '91 Warrior manual and made it available?
Enjoy,

There seems to be a limitation to the size of the file I'm able to attach in the forum so you'll only get 13 sec. of the Warrior guide if you download it here. If you would like the full version, please email me at my recording studio address (info@voicemaker.ca) and I'll gladly send email you a copy. It's 6.29 MB and about 16 minutes long.

How realistic is the blue book on the Toy MH? Looking at a 1993 Warrior for $12,500. The book says $6100 for trade in to $8900 private party selling.

After doing a lot of price checking before buying my '91 Warrior last month, I found the blue book price to be inaccurate. The actual selling prices on the units I checked out were 50 to 75 per cent higher than blue book.
Happy horse trading,

Here you go. There are three attachments. If they all don't post let me know and I will e-mail them to you. I called a dealer and if you are specific about the name of the recall ( the first time they did not know what I was talking about), they will take your VIN and look it up. They can tell if it was done and when it was done.
Good luck
Try try again, I think I got the other two this time.
Thanks for the info! I had the same experience at the dealership the first time I contacted them. Having the
info at hand changed everything.

Does anyone know the name/number of the Toyota service bulletin for replacement of head gaskets for the 3VZE6 (3.0 litre V-6) used from 1989-94?
Dual exhaust for V-6

Has anyone had experience converting the V-6 to dual exhaust?
