My repair requirement never ends. I have to knock on wood though, right now after a new motor and then a new alternator the 87 has been running without any issues - For non transport issues: I finally have heat, was always embarrassing to give someone a ride in the Canadian Winter and tell them...
Maybe it is just the questions on older models that do not get answered here that fast - less people with older models on the site ? I did just see the thread for "clonk" in the transmission downshifting for a 2017 model ...and the software issues were detected and resolved due to some great...
I am hearing your call but I don't know your answer. I am not on this site often, but those few moments I am, I feel there is not a lot of response. ?
I am a member on a Facebook Toyota-Tech site - the answers come in faster - might give that a try. Sorry to the admin of this site but there...
What would be the value of an almost rust free truck with a new motor ? I am afraid I put more money into this than I would ever see in a sale. Standard transmission. On a scale of 1 to 5 this would be a 2.5. Arizona Truck located in Canada.
No this stuff literally turns the rust black in appearance. Then inhibits further corrosion by sealing it. - as mentioned, it is not good for the environment and known to cause cancer but it works well.
Rust Check Red is just an oil coating while the same company also sells actual rust inhibiting spray paint. Aerosols .... check all products on this page
The retail product tab shows all products.
I am a great promoter of the (RED!) rust check spray. Don't know what the green or the beige cap rust check do (one of them is actual spray paint I think)
The red spray is great before or after minor unsightly surface rust, it forms a good seal and keeps oxygen away from the rust area - makes it...
Does anyone have this book and will it have high resolution images and exploded diagrams of every corner of the truck. It is 10 times the cost of the Chilton Book... would like to know the content before spending $ 200.
I bought this one online, but its not worth the paper its printed on. Too many Land Cruiser details - bad fuzzy small images for items I wish to take apart and unfortunately major focus on engine (not very high rez pictures or diagrams there either). I leave the engine to a real mechanic, but...
You need another vehicle as your daily driver and your truck needs to be min 25 - 30 years old to qualify low mile pleasure use only - of course it is a pleasure to drive a truck full of 2x6 and LVLs. = pleasure use only. small problem if you crash with a load of 2x4's you may have to pay for...
Another option - could it be a Low Beam LED and High Beam Halogen ? Put them in without wiring the two extra wires and see if the High / Low setting works. .... (or call the manufacturer on Monday and get a proper explanation from them, in order to not damage the lights in any way with tests)
That way you can also drive with only the LED side "half moons" 'on' and the headlights 'off' during the day or at dusk and dawn. Depending on your light switch position.
But I am no expert on those sealed beams with LEDs - check by putting some power onto these wires. I assume they do not...
Rust Spray "Rust Check" is much more effective than WD-40. WD-40 washes away in the rain. Rust Check does stick much longer. I am spaying my truck's underside frequently. Warning; on the can it says: Does cause Cancer in California - Lucky I no longer live in LA like I used to :)
