People can say what they want but my sending unit looked similar on my 88, it looked worse in the the tank as the main line was rusted threw not allowing the fuel pressure i needed. I repaired mine though. I removed my nasty line and drilled new holes and ran a piece of 5/16 brake line and curved it like in needed to be and braised it into the top of the sending unit, I put a new pump and fixed all the wires and its currently working like a dream, good luck. I priced the unit from toyota and that wasnt happenin I like to make things work my way, the cheap way.

 

Well as much as I hate too say it but project cancelled. Just purchased a 87 22r. If any body interested in parts or the whole thing let me know soon.

 

You could still fix it. I had to swap out my front radiator support. Check my build out. It is possible to save it. Maybe even tube the front and make it a dedicated trail rig

 

New rig already?? Pets see pics!

 

I like Iowa a lot. My wife is from Iowa. I been there several times. Except not in the winter... Good luck with your next project!

 

87 22r with 317k and 160k on motor, burns oil trans growls horrible in 3rd and 5th? but gets 23mpg and body is completely rust free as well as frame.

 

I put the visor and roll bar in other than that that's how I got her.

 

I'd say ur pretty lucky to find a rust free truck around here. I'm pretty fond of those graphics too. My mom had an 88 4runner and my brother had an 88 pickup that both had those same graphics. And now u have a parts truck for this one lol. Have u checked to make sure the trans has oil?

To be honest I havnt yet but I did notice 2 or three check plugs on the side of the trans.

 

Well if the tranny ends up being junk it should be easy enuf to swap em out quick. U still got a good deal IMO

matt

 

Also the grab point on the clutch is way deep in the pedal, how do I adjust it so it grabs more toward on the release side?

 

I'm not sure offhand as I've never had to do it but I've got a Haynes manual over in New Sharon. I can check a lil later when I go pick my daughter up if u want

That's alright I got one laying around somewhere. If i swap trans should I keep the t case on the tranny and don't switch them? What's the et on trans swap never done manual? All the autos I do take a good 5 hours. Lol

 

Well if u drop the transfer case separate u should be able to handle them by urself but if u've got help, leaving them together would prolly be a lil faster just harder to handle. My bro swapped clutches in his back when he was in high school by himself in a few hours.

trans is full but I couldn't say that for the t case, filled it up and still no difference. Feels like a bearing out. I guess I know what im doing next weekend lol.

 

U can do it!

matt

 

The rear d shaft up by the t case is super sloppy bearing and has oil flying out all around it after I filled the t case and took it for a spin.

 

Hmm maybe u should swap the tranny and transfer case. Is it the bearing in the back of the t case that sloppy or a u-joint on the driveshaft? Does ur truck have a 2 piece rear driveshaft? Just curious cuz mine does and the rubber bushing in the carrier bearing was completely gone so my driveshaft was flopping all over lol.

I'm def gonna put a weber carb on, tried adjusting this one and only can adjust idle still runs rich as ˟˟˟˟
