Sweet truck but I agree with everyone else, I wouldn't have sold a cummins for a toyota. As much as I love my truck I would take a Dodge diesel 4x4 over it any day. Now if you offered me a diesel yota 4x4 It would be a tough choice. Diesels just last so much longer if you take care of it right. Let's say you had 250,000 miles on your yota that's impressive for any gas motor, well you diesel just went through the first quarter of its life at that mileage. There was this truck that used to come in for oil changes and maintenance at our local Dodge dealership that had never had engine work done that had over 950,000 miles on the motor. He delivered cars between Florida and California for a living. So I justified my thoughts, your turn. haha

thanks for the thoughts burlyone, my cummisn had 240k on it and scawed like a commanche. but, let me give you guys a littel background info. i didnt really sell my dodge to buy a rusty toyota. well kinda, but not completely. ok i bough tmy dodge back in June to tow my 95 back and forth to the trails. then the yota blew a HG. i could nt do it myself, and didnt have teh cabbage to pay someone. so i sold it. now i got a 3/4 diesel that im drivin around everyday not towing/pulloing anything with it. it was pointless to have, and teh payment/insurance made me have 0 spendin money. so i sold it to get soemthin a littel more realistic to my needs. in teh next yr or so, ill get me a cheaper, gasoline powered tow rig

well fellers i ran into my first problem. i put a new battery on it when i first got it cuz lord knows how long it had the old one on fro. anyways, this thing is hard to start sometimes. itll crank forever and tehn itll hit real hard and try to start but it wont. then i can turn it off, turn it on enough to get the EFI pumpin, turn the key and it starts. then today it wudnt even start liek that. what the problem is?

Nice truck man. my little bro picked up this '84 last aug for $1000 too. crazy, they almost look identical, could be twins, well yours would be the little bro since yours is newer lol. but anyways nice ride man

BackGateYota92

wow that rust would scare me but did you ever figure out wat the engine problem was?

yoder519

right on, teh only thing that makes them not look identical is my crazy rust on the bed, well whats left of it hahaha
ya it scared me at first til i looked at teh frame and seen it was solid. nope aint had time really. been workin 9-6 so can treally fit it in. im hopin it jsut needs a fuel filter. i found it but cant quite figure out how to get it off

If you take the passenger front tire off there, is a little square access panel that makes the filter easier to get at...at least thats how it was in my 94 pickups...
