Last April drove from La Paz Baja to S>F> area and back 3000+ miles averaged 17.6

All the roof seams, and wall to roof seams are fibreglassed, and front and rear seams. Now more like a Sunrader.

Any of you Baja travelers get to La Paz, we live here, have room for overnight visit for Toyhouses. Wiley & Carol 87 Dolphin, 5speed, 456 rearend, Topside,seams all fibreglassed, and much more. Wileys@prodigy.net.mx

Haven't been to Panama but certainly would go with ours, Live in La Paz BCS and deal with topes all the time, Last weekend went to a beach a little north of here, dirt road then Parked in a sandy area I think they can handle a little sand, but I have 5sp manual. There are at least 6-7 Toys here in La Paz.

They make a finned aluminum pan for transmissions on some vehicles.

I don't know where you are at but I changed out my Automatic 87 Dolphin to a 5 speed Manual, so have a perfectly good Auto for sale with Temp Guage and extra Transmission cooler $500 for pickup in San Diego.

Before you do anything you should run some acetone in the gas 3oz per 10Gals of gas. I use it on all my vehicles and it keeps jets, injectors clean, Some people will say it atomizes the gas for better gas mileage I and many others of us believe it just cleans therefore runs better gets better gas mileage.

I took mine off and would say it only weighs 75lbs. :)

It was done in Mexico very cheap, but well done. Since I also changed out the 410 rear end to a 456 5th gear is now high gear.

I had the 5speed put in my 87 dolphin, also 456 rear end, also rebuilt engine and fine tuned. A month ago did over 3000 miles, all conditions, had a low of 15.7 and a high of 19.2(tailwind) overall average 17.6MPH. The people that did it had a donor PU and only had to have the driveshaft done by Machine shop. Just a lot of little things.

There are 2 wheel bearings on each side,We could not replace the ring and pinion it wasn't available here in Mexico. I thought there was a bearing on each side of the ring and pinion and one in front but just looked at the recpt and he bought 4 bearing and one seal. My costs would not apply up there. Numbers 17887/17831 1- 30306 1 32307W 1-1177 $110.00

+Just has all the bearings and seals in rearend replaced, still have the whine, the wheel bearings and seals have also been replace, had a very knowledgeable Mechanic look at the ring and pinion and said it was worn, but didn't think it would be a problem, next am going to put in 140 gear lube unless someone has a better idea.

Bama A vacuum gauge will help you a lot. Google Vacuum guage and read about them.

On your injector body there is the throttle on the bottom and on top goes to the transmission, pull back the covering and you will see a little sleeve it should be adjusted so that its about an 1l8" from where it enters the cable housing.

I would put 300# in the back of your rig and drive it, it sure seems like an awful lot of tongue weight for a motorcycle trailer.

I'm using 20-50 in everything. I think I know the problem, just rebuilt the engine and had the dipstick tube out and when replaced pounded it in to far.

I changed my oil today and with filter added 3 1/2 qts and am way over full on dipstick, I was the last time but didn't think too much about it, the factory manual says 4 qts. any help, also the filter is very small I wonder if anyone has used a larger filter, possibly Mike with the diesel? wiley 87 Dolphin, 5 speed manual.

I cut mine off about 2" from the valve and have it wired all the way up, dont't wire it around the hose.

I was lucky I bought it from a wrecking yard and they installed it. It turned out to be a lot more work than they thought. Had to use the donor flywheel, starter,speedo cable, clutch pedal, hydraulic stuff, and lengthened the drive shaft also bought new clutch disc. and throwout bearing. They also had to take off the automatic shifting controls. Now I can take off the 2 transmission coolers. Later will put the transmission up for sale and its a good one.

Just changed my 87 dolphin 22RE w/auto to a 5 speed manual I cant believe the difference Just driving it home I was doing 65 and wasn't working at all, my vacuum guage @45MPH was reading 6Lbs w/ auto now 10lbs that means economy, I might add The engine is rebuilt w/ new head, etc I'm happy I sure don't need a v-6 for power.

A compression check will not fix your miss, when I had this we pulled the injectors and had a professional lab clean them, You will know its the injectors if when you start the engine and it runs good then after a minute or two it starts missing.

Your miss on acceleration could be Oxygen sensor, or throttle position sensor. or dirty injectors.
