Internet seems to think that Aisin is the original supplier to Toyota. I have learned the hard way when getting new parts to carefully compare the old part to new to make sure they are the same. The water pump on my 93 had the Toyota name in the casting, I could see where it was ground off on the Aisin replacement! Wish I had taken a picture.

You are almost at the suggested 80,000 mile O2 sensor replacement. My 94 Sea Breeze owners manual says Toyota will replace it labor and parts no cost to you! Have not heard of anyone having it done, but it is in black and white in the owners manual! Pg 157.

I also had an issue with the plastic in the replacement roof vent I bought, lasted about a year and then disintegrated. I replaced that with metal.. If I had bought the lens off Ebay I would figure it was fake. But no, bought on Amazon.

Some things in life annoy me, I bought the Specialty Recreation lens and it lasted about a year and then literally fell apart. Plastic is suppose to last a 1000 years in the environment, well Specialty Recreation has developed a miracle plastic. Total waste of money!

Interesting, with the cable vs electronic speedometer it would make me cautious. I would ask at Yota tech. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116/ I think 91 was still cable drive?

Ouch, sorry. Old vehicles like ours always have issues and require $$$$ and time. I remind myself on occasion, no matter how much I spend on my Toy it is less than the first 2 year depreciation on a new one. Depreciation is money in the black tank, where I stand a good chance of recovering a good part of what I put in my toy.

Sillycon the bane of used RV buyers. Unfortunately the term silicone is used as a generic term for caulk. Even after removing what looks like all the silicone there is still a residue that nothing will stick to. If I am going to recaulk an area I sand it to mechanically remove as much of the caulk as possible to avoid failure.

I have had KYB on for over 3 years and no complaints.

20 years ago I was talked into buying a Weber Baby Q. It has been used 2-3 times a week for the last 20 years, still looks good and have never replaced a part! Bit large for a Toy.

As near as I can tell, V6 motors that are not maintained will have problems. If the valves are not adjusted at the recommended 60,000 miles they will eventually burn up. People that maintain the V6 report 200,000 to 300,000 miles with no major issues. Valve adjustment is a bit expensive and many do not do it. I have yet to hear anyone say they checked the valves at 60,000 mile and they did not need adjusting.

????? Too wet around here to see if I have one on Toy.

You made me go look! The lights on a 93 are on the bottom right of the cluster and with a bright light I can just make out the letters A T. I have never heard of anyone saying my AT temp light came on what should I do? Wonder where the signal comes from or if it even works??

Bought the one from specialty recreation. Waste of money, looks good but deteriorated and fell apart in less than a year! Others have said same thing.

I looked at my 93 V6, the area where the At light would be shows 4 lights, including cruise control, driving pattern and overdrive, none of them come on at start up to check. the overdrive and cruise control lights function properly. I believe the driving pattern is for 4 wheel drive? Book also shows trip meter and reset nob on cluster, I do not have those.

Where are all our mechanic guys In their Toys trying to figure out where the light is!

Well I'll be. Right there in the 94 owners manual. Have not looked at dash to see if it is there also.

I had to close doors and windows and close off cab to get system to operate properly. Many report that in order to get adequate cooling they must block off cabin.

Were the doors and windows open when doing, was the cabin closed off from the cab when checking? Makes a big difference in mine as the system is not large enough to cool the RV part.

There are now online places that make drawers fairly cheap if you are interested. I am not recommending this one only using it as an example. Google search will bring up many companys. https://www.barkerdoor.com/Baltic-Plywood-Dovetail-Drawer-Boxes-p/DRAWERBOX-BALTIC-DOVETAIL.htm?gclid=CjwKCAjwg-DpBRBbEiwAEV1_-IANqq_RJhDZ192691EFcc8VJ4vLsSjzmZ8d9-p8O7p_EONgisBKBxoCTi4QAvD_BwE

At first I thought Dorman was just parroting Toyota. However they are manufacturing the nut and stud so must be making them to withstand these torques.

I bought the Dorman 610-339 for my 93 seabreeze. Also new nuts, I no longer have part # for nuts. But the first set of aftermarket closed end nuts did not seat properly, there is one closed end nut in your picture. It was not readily apparent, but the nut was not deep enough for the studs! The lines of rust eminating from your lug nuts to the outside of the rim indicate there is a problem! Also hard to tell from the picture but I suspect that the 2 other nuts on your wheel are the wrong type of nut. Almost look like a flanged lug nut, except for 86 model the Toyota uses a a a a can't think of name?? Someone help me out here. Something has obviously been done wrong with your studs and nuts so if were mine I would replace them all. Also Toyota engineers have spec'ed 170 foot pounds of torque for the 6 lug wheels and NO LUBRICANT is indicated. Also they are suppose to be re torqued after 25 to 50 miles.

When I looked my system over, there was not refrigerant in the system, the compressor was covered in oil, the hoses were over 20 years old. Not knowing the condition of the compressor necessitated replacing the coil and dryer. So I just replaced everything and converted to 134A. It is nothing to brag about but it works. If the charge is not spot on, the evaporator will freeze up..

I suspect more damage is done by giving it a shot of gas than any other cause! Check the pressures if they are right do not add any refrigerant! I switched my system over to 134A, If I had just added gas I would never have found this and no matter what I did it would never have functioned right. It is not a nest just a long term accumulation. The evaporator was so clogged that it was easier to replace than clean! Can too much Freon damage compressor? A: It is possible to overfill an air conditioner with refrigerant and, unfortunately, several problems can occur that could permanently damage the unit. ... Overcharging the unit can cause permanent failure of the compressor, which is the pump for the refrigerant.

Long story, I put an aftermarket fan clutch in, did not like the way it sounded. Which is kind of odd as a fan clutch does not make a sound, but something did not sound right. So took it out, returned it and installed an Aisin. Been happy with Aisin for some time now. Gauge is a 30 year old indicator, so are the wires and sensor. It cannot differentiate between slightly warm and hot. Buy a IR gun as suggested and see what the temp actually is. You may be fixing a non problem!

I have read several times that replacing aftermarket thermostat with OE solved over heating issues. It appears that some aftermarket stats can be distorted when installed and not work properly. My 93 Toyota radiator was oe and in bad shape, so I replaced it with a single row aluminum 4 years ago and my engine runs very cool. Had the OE radiator not been in bad shape I would have taken it to a radiator shop and had it redone as they are a high quality piece of equipment. This would also answer the question of is a clogged radiator the problem. If someone used a sealer of some type you could have a bad problem as they can clog up cooling passages.
