Harness is from a 97 4runner and I will look at color when I get home from school

Kody B.

the plug missing was two green wires...one with a red line...

dntsdad

I looked through the wiring diagrams I have and struck out making sense of the wires you mentioned that end in a single plug. You have a picture of the wires in question? Where they are on the harness? Where they are close to in relation to other plugs? Etc.

I can go check mine out since we have essentially the same harness.

thank you for checking jason i would post up some pictures and tell you where in relation it is but i cant right now cause im at state ffa when i get home i will take pictures and tell you where in relation it is to the other wires...i think i said it was a green and gray wire if i remember right im sure it says in one of my other posts...i would have my mom send me a picture but i doubt she would know/care what im talking about

Kody B.

also i was reading in one of the other threads where you said that i should use the 3.4 clutch...how much trouble would you expect me to see with the 3.0 clutch? because any way i can save money is good lol...also how much trouble should i expect to have with the oil pan and the way the designed it to be sandwiched together??? thanks Jason

dntsdad

Both of your questions are either or's. You can run the 3.0 clutch system from what I know just fine. The 3.4 clutch is more desirable because of its larger diameter, but it is minor. Either way you need the 3.0 through out bearing.

Using the 3.0 sandwich mount will work also. Lots of guys do. I opted to swap to the 3.4 baffle since it was a simpler design to avoid leaks but there are 1000's of 3.0 trucks out there that do not leak with the sandwich mount.

well i got the truck pulled up into the shed today since it has been too wet to work on it...i decided to get it somewhere dry cuz i have been getting anxious...lol...got the hood off, tranny bolts loosened, and air cleaner system pulled out before i had to quit...and i had pulled the radiator before the rain came...so im coming slowly but hopefully i will be able to work on it a bunch this weekend

Kody B.

I have decided against the hood scoop and am going to install the body lift...should I go 2 or 3? And is 140 a good price?

You can probably get by with 1 inch, the lower the less problems to deal with. I'd recommend 4crawler for BL kits.

Kody B.

Sounds good I will look into that thankyou for the fast reply!

hamish_18

I know ppl hate BL's but I chose to do a 2 inch. And I wish I went with 3. Running 35's with a 4in suspension and only a 2 inch body sucks! I really don't want to cut sheet metal, but I may have to.

Kody B.

well guys great news the motor is completely disconnected and ready to come out!!!

Kody B.

hey guys as you may know i bought a 97 harness to go with a 96 motor my question is that i know plugs differ on the ecm side of things from year to year but what kind of trouble will i be in on motor from year to year will they match up?

forget it i guess dntsdad already answered my question earlier in this thread...man i feel dumb...lol

Kody B.

Well guys its been a long time since I put an update on here...probably because I have been trying to wrap up school and haven't had time to do anything to it for the past couple of weeks...lol...I did however get the motor out of the truck before I had to stop working on it...I get out of school Thursday and plan to b working on it a lot after that trying to get it finished up before my buddy gets home from ait so we can take it out and screw around in it before he goes active duty...wish me good luck

dntsdad

Good Luck.

take LOTS of pictures along the way to help you later. Digital "film" is CHEAP so dont scrimp

Kody B.

Alright dntsdad and mt_goat I am in need of ur expert advice once again I have the opportunity to buy a ecm from a 1996 t100 and its a 4x2...do I dare take it or do I wait and c what I hear from yoda jims? The wiring harness I have is from a 1997 4runner

dntsdad

Personally, I would wait and get a Runner ECM. That way you know that its going to work. I am not very informed about T100's at all but I would worry that there are enough differences between the two to cause headaches. EGR possibly being one.

Runner ECM's are easy enough to get a hold of as to not need to introduce any potential issues when its not necessary.

Kody B.

Ok thankyou for ur quick reply and I plan on waiting then

dntsdad

The ECM number that I used is 89661-3D310

97 Runner motor, auto harness that I converted to manual. Works perfect. Smog legal and no trouble codes.

car-part.com is a good resource to find one. Usually less than $100. I paid $50 for mine i think.
Search 1997, 4Runner, computer box Engine, 4x4 6cy. manual transmission(MT)

Kody B.

Thanks man will do cuz yoda jims wanted 150 for one and I can gets a yard around here to order one for me for that price
