[FONT=Arial]Just purchased a 1993 Chevy s-10 Blazer, and starting a complete swap in my 1991 Toyota Pickup 4x4. Is there anything I should look for or watch out for?[/FONT]

i just want to kno what i need before i start want to get everything together THANKS !!!

just dropped a motor in my 1980 pickup. carb is giving me trouble. it seems to keep slipping to no idle after i run it for a few minutes, wondering about cal, exempt fuel injection costs compared to carburater. also wondering where i might find new air cleaner assembly and throttle mount. i believe i have the wrong ones or im missing something.

I have a 88 4runner and when i turn the key it makes a whining noise and nothing else...i looked in the throttle body and noticed smoke coming out...you think my engine could be seized up...?

help been having trouble with this thing since 99. no one in my area can figure it out. poor gas mileage,inconsistent idle,dumping tons of fuel out the exhaust.ive replaced so many parts with no luck.just replaced the ecu,nothing,tps, new,on and on.love the truck but if i cant get it fixed guess ill park it.its a really nice rust free truck i really like but im tired of throwing money out the window, any suggestions gladly accepted. fustrated in tx.

Was wondering if you guys knew any good yet cheaper lifts for my 86 yota custom cab? I want it to include the rear leafs?

i have a 2000 tacoma and right now i have offset wheels with 31x10.50R15 and they rub a little bit. i need to get a lift kit but im not sure how much i should lift it? or should i do a body or suspension lift? any ideas anyone? :bllama:

If you are looking to install a larger fuel tank a Ford Bronco tank is the way to go. Fits nicely under your bed and holds 23 gallons.

I wana trade my 93 yota for an 84 yota!!!!

i have an 89 pickup and i need to replace the motor, what should i do?

I am having problems I need to run a computer test and there is no plug for it! The manual shows it on the left side when I am looking under the hood. The plug in is not there. Could it be somewhere else? Thanks fo any help with this.

New man here. working on a 87 4 runner 22r s.a.s. bought 5" trail gear leaf springs and 5.5 shackels for front. I have heard if 5" leafs are used in rear it will it will be lower than front and sag down in rear. Is this true or alot of hype. any help would be great. What about going to a marlen 6"leaf for rear.Has anybody done this combo. Thanks have a safe day.

I went off-roading in the mountains and kept hitting the running boards on the hills and rocks. So, tonight, I took off the running boards!! I never used them anyways, they were always in the way and got the back of my pants dirty. I'm EXCITED to go again!!!:wrench:

Hey there Im fairly new to all this but need some help. I have a 91 4runner with the 3.0l v6 and am looking to rebuild it. I am trying to find a quality full rebuild kit to purchase. I live near portland oregon. Any info on brands and or buisinesses that offer the kits is appreciated. thanks

My 01 4Runner 4X4 automatic started making tapping noise lower end of engine between engine and transmission. Sometimes it will be there and some not but once in drive with torque on transmission, noise goes away. Drove the truck for a week and noise didn't get any louder. I did track it down to one of the flex plate bolts missing. My problem is, I can't find the bolt. It didn't fall out when the cover was removed. I put a magnet up above on top of the engine between the flex plate and engine, no...

Hey im new and i want to build my 4runner up i have already done little stuff but i dont know what kind of suspension lift kit i should use. The only off roading i do is mudding and forest trails. Any ideas?

I am currently taking on the project of swapping engines. I was curious if anyone had some imput on how well a 87 chevy 305 would fit into my 94 toyota. as well as some things i may need to look into buying to get the job done. i plan on using the whole engine tranny and transfer case and getting custom drive shafts to make up the difference. all helpful input will be greatly appreciated.
~thanks Ben~

Howdi ,i have a 2000 4runner v6 2wd,and recently installed bilstein shocks and struts.
Now i'm having a problem with the front of the car,the front is lifted about 3" maybe more,and it is very rough on the road.some guys told me to replace the front springs(softer) ,which will drop it and make it run softer on the road. don't know what to do,any tip will help!.
Don't know what other springs will fit !

Hey everyone!
This is my first post for I have just joined yotatech! I recently have bought myself an 86 pickup 2.4 22re. When, I bought this truck, the efi was all working fine, but now I'm having a problem i think with one of the injectors running too rich. #3 is only firing when I accelerate. I know the cold start injectors have problems in these trucks so we unplugged it since its the muddle of summer, but it still runs rich. I checked my spark plugs and when I pulled out #3 it was all...

i got the rear differential Diff locker for my 4runner, and when ibought it, it never worked, i press the button to lock it, and i dont know if it needs to be in nuetral, or if it only works in 4 wheel drive, i have tried all of it, but i dont understand why it isn't working, any ideas?

im thinking about getting a throttle body spacer, what does it do, does it just give you better throttle response? Is it worth buying for performance?

what would be better for a daly driver but also for some wheelin the stock carb, a Weber 32/36, or a weber 38?? on a stock 22r?

does anyone know how to fix the tach on a 1982 toyota i cant figure out the problem it just doesnt work and i would like it to work before i do long trips or wheelin. its a 1982 toyota hilux with a 22r stock and has 100,000!

i got a 93 toyota pickup 22re 2wd. it will start for bout one sec but it shuts itself off immediatly. if you give it some gas as soon as it starts it will ignite that little bit of fuel and still dies. i have tried using the jumper wire in the diagnostic port. but it tells me theres no faulty codes just gives me a steady flash. it was running perfectly fine earlier in the day. parked it and went back out to it a couple of hrs later and had this problem all of a sudden. ran like a champ before this...

[I] I have a 1994 toyota 4runner and i just installed an aftermarket stereo, but every time i turn the car on the stereo is on standby then i have to put it to cd and it starts at track 1. its really annoying. whats wrong and how should i fix it?[/I]

The back window in my tailgate on my 1994 toyota 4runner rolls down sideways and you have to push the other side down for it to go down. is there two motors for that window or is it just the track thats messed up?

my dad just found a toyota roll bar for my 1990 dlx at a scrap yard and it is a perfect fit and even says toyota across the back or it. does any one know anything about them and how much they would have been new. i will try and post pics on my profile. thank u

I have a 1989 4Runner with a 4 cylinder engine and manual transmission. It's a great vehicle but I'm thinking of swapping the engine over to a V-6 from another 4Runner (or possibly brand new) but was wondering if that is possible? Does it matter if I pull it from a same year 4Runner that comes from either an auto or stick trans? Is this even common? I'm doing this to try to get more power and acceleration and a stronger towing capacity since I am starting to use this truck for commutes rather than...

its already lifted, any ideas on motor work or exterior work, let me know

I just got my dads 94 Toyota pickup that hes been driving all my life. I have wanted this truck ever since i was little, now that i have it i dont exactly know what I should do to it to get the most fun out of it? I hunt religiously and love going on the back roads to explore so to speak. i want to do a little 4 wheelin in it but nothing to the extreme. I recently bought the exact engine thats currently in it, the reason i bought it is because it was rebuilt in a professional shop. I needed to do...

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I own a 2003 4 Runner and the driver's side door won't open. It sounded like something broke/snapped off on the inside when I went to open it and now it won't open at all. Could this be the same problem as the person with the older model 4 Runner had and the spring broke or does my 4 Runner have a different mechanism on the inside than older models?[/FONT][/COLOR]

So i started this project by purchasing the 1993 4runner from a mechanic in Eureka Springs, AR at the end of Jan. 2010. It had headgasket issues but started up and drove fine, just lots of white smoke. My brother who is a plant mechanic was out of work and decided he'd "HELP ME" rebuild the motor. We cracked into it got the heads off, headgasket blown. We both expected it to be the drivers side rear (#6) b/c of the exhaust crossover pipe/heat issues there. To our amazement we found...

Wow. ok well changed out the o2 and it was fun. had to pull out the exhaust. runs better now.. so the new problem is the starter. got a new one and put it in last night and still nothing. not sure what to do.. it clicks once or twice but after that nothing... so im going to take my old starter down to have it tested to see if the old one still works. if it does i on the bright side have a new starter.. ant suggestions will help... well anyways just letting everyone know how my babys doin..

Does anyone have any experience with baja claws and how well they do in the mud? Also how they do climbin hills with midsize rocks in them.

What to do?
My 91 came with 4.56 gears, one of the 31" options. and I did the front axle swap with a 85 front end. Now can the 85 3rd member take 4.56 gears from the 91?

Well what a pain in the backside. well my truck was running like crap. so i changed the o2 censor. what fun that was. that heat shield was in the way. and the nuts on there were so striped out. i had to cut the bolts holding the cat and disconnect the exhaust. and vise grip the nuts and work them. good thing i noticed that there were nuts missing on my ubolts mount. and all the other nuts on that were loose by hand turning. wow that was a scary thought. got new nuts and cranked them on. well the...

so i got a 82 toyota pickup with a 22r carbureted motor and a while ago it started getting oil in the radiator and reservoir, i tore it apart with some friends and had the head checked out and cant figure it out..my heads been at the machine shop and the guy said it needs new valve guides and is warped and needs resurfacing..but its fifty fifty if it would fix the oil in the water problem what else could it be ..any help would be really appreciated...if i get feed back ill let ya know everything...

I bought a 1994 3.0 toyota xcab pickup about 3 years ago. Man was I impressed with this buy. Resently the timing belt broke and I repaired it myself. I have tried to set the timing but when I place the jumper(TE1 to E1) there is no change in the timing and the check engine light does not come on (i have checked the light bulb). The issue I have now is that it is hard to start, like a fuel problem. I replaced the fuel pump and the filter. I have replaced the coil thinking it is a spark problem. No...
