Getting in the game late here, but got a good deal on rebuilt engine from Oregon Engines.net and it was worth it, verse tearing down the engine and seeing what was all wrong with it. Just to do redo the head replacement would had cost more then the replacement engine has. Plus lifetime...

Thanks for input! Guess I'll just leave it as is during ENG replacement. Its all New anyway and don't need to be messing new ENG up from the get go. Not like I'm racing it anywhere soon.

Between Them and Performance Plus can't go wrong I don't think, after all the research I did they were the top 2. Lot of good rebuilds out there, only Oregon Rebuilders has lifetime. If we had a machine shop closer then 90 miles away I think I would have rebuilt it but it would have been a big...

Replacing the Engine and figure this would be a good time to remove and block off the EGR system. Being new to Toyota's I would like to hear from experience if this will effect the fuel economy or performance of ENG. I don't have to worry about emission inspection in this area so thinking this...

Not good at all, drove home and got out and heard lots of gurgling in cooling system saw steam and oil coming out of exhaust. Lifted the hood saw oil everywhere and coolant reservoir empty, pulled dipstick it was full coolant and oil, let it cool down open radiator and 1 gal later it was full...

Thanks, but have to replace ENG in it now and relocating the filter so won't be an issue later.

The previous owner told me it is a 22RE out of a 95 Pickup from FL salvage yard with 80K miles on it. I just got TRK, so still trying to figure it all out. Don't know anything about Toyota's, so it's been fun T/S all the issue's on this thing. Would like to get FSM for it, but they are pretty...

Thanks to all response's! I was thinking the same (tbplus10) about DEX in older vehicle but thinking maybe switching out everything at once would prevent water pump issues later, but think I will stay with "green type" after all. I do know about "water wetter" also and it's ok for older...

Due to age of truck (95') and it sitting for couple years before I bought back in APR I have notice the Coolant hose's (all of them) are aged/soft and probably won't last much longer. I am getting ready to replace all the hose's to include Heater Core SYS, clean-out Radiator and replace...

I don't mind advice anytime, I try and learn something everyday. I don't care how many times I have done the same thing, I'll still read the book. If it's one thing I learned in life, if I knew everything, God wont be so lonely......so I'll keep learning.

Thanks for input. I was going all rigid/solid line due to EFI system. Planning to get full system info research done to make sure I keep correct Fuel PSI as don't need the injectors acting up or as mentioned-leaks. V/R

I just installed K&N Filter Intake SYS on my and it's really good. Got it on AMAZON for really good price plus it has Chrome pipe, RedBoots and hose it helped some. Got a GForce programmer on the way for install also. I installed a GForce on my SX4 and it worked as advertised. More power and...

Mastercraft tires have a great truck, all weather- tire. I install on every truck I have ever owed and they did great especially in rain. Plus they ride soft and no noise. well worth looking into.

I concur with your thoughts. I am going to get some fuel line and install a new inline filter system somewhere else as I plan on keeping this truck. Have much to learn about these trucks. V/R

Thanks for info, did see that at Auto Zone but I could not find it on the EGR SYS or ENG. I have found out that the basic non-California emission 22RE does not have the Sensor on the EGR Valve (my doesn't) just vacuum connections. There is a plug pig-tailed off on the ENG for hook-up to the...
