both 22're engines from the 86/89 use the same wiring hardness correct? everything from the tail lights to the air meter up front.. the 86 looks like a wiring night mare but all the lights work,signals etc. it also seems to need both leaf springs,ifs replaced. rotors, brakes,and wheels are rusted. steering rods creak, pitman arm is rusted * if i had a sand blaster i'd do the whole truck.

 

No they are not the same.

85-87
88
89-95

These are the correct year splits. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)

I believe the biggest difference are the fuel injector connections. I know 88 is the odd ball year that has it's own unique conector.

 

haha check this out. since i wanna switch engines and what not, decided to decode the vin.

4/86
Truck
22re
auto
longbed
std cab

what it should be is a 4/86 22re , 5sp, Dlx cad somebody did a whole lotta switching out on this thing.

 

can anybody else confirm this 22re out of the 86 wont plug N play with my 11/88

 

86 and 89 are NOT interchangeable, different injectors (and thus plugs), AFM is different, knock sensor might be different, ECU is different etc etc.
Yet another reason why I love my 22r carb truck.

 

thanks you always seem to answer my Q's with Answers and detail.

 

cant happen bud. xxtreme u r right on the yr splits.

 

it'll be alright at least now i know their different
