How much would it be to fix the gauge?

 

I have the same problem with the gas gauge, has something to do with the sender inside the tank i believe
when i fill up, its about 14 gallons,
20 + ~ - a few due to my heavy right foot thats about 270miles
so i give myself a solid 250 before i start to worry, sometimes i forget, but ive never been stranded

 

Problem is usually the sending unit in the tank... I recall the unit is sold integral to the intank filter/pump unit, I replaced mine about 2 yrs ago I think it was about $100.00 you need to drop the tank to get to it figure on a couple hrs, labor charge. The fuel lines are usually rusted to heck and get broken during disconnection so plan on having to replace them too.
I get around 570 kms to a tank driving normally about 546kms if I let my inner meathead out. You ought to get about the same... try this fill the tank and a jerry can, zero the trip odometer and drive till you run out of gas... this will give you your answer... drop in the jerry can worth and get to a station and fill the truck.

 

 

I took it to school today and put on a drawtight hitch receiver. probably gonna go get a sony cd player from walmart this weekend

 

honestly i would have to say my rig looks better lol j/k mines al rotted up on the pass side


and i just recently blew the motor




its not quite finished this is my first engine job so im taking my time

 

Umm... new rear tires anyone? lol.

 

lol aww comon he has plenty of life in those rear sneeks i cant see the belts yet

 

hehe I remember when I got my first Toy.. I was blown away at what it could take on without even shrugging (my first 4x4 truck).

The best part is, the truck gets BETTER as you get more comfortable and familiar with the truck...

Enjoy your rig..

 

live breeth and sleep toyota had mine for 3 yrs

 

hahahahahahaha

 

They talk about good 'sport cars' becoming an extension of the driver, like a 6th sense or something.
I don't think I've ever driven a vehicle that tells you more about the road you're on than a Toyota truck. You just have to be willing to listen.

 

i know that one all to well i can feal every bump in my truck when i crusing

 

The trick is letting the truck respond to the bump the way it wants not trying to force it to do what you want... that is until you're really good at driving it.

 

Ya the front tires look like they were replaced well before the rears. or the old owner just liked burnin rubber lol. hey muddy toy 1986 i like that bar u got. u make it or buy it? me and my buddie r gonna start makin one for mine next week in school

 

k anyone know how wide my tires are. theyre 16x?

 

***srry meant wheels

 

well rimms come diferent widths take one off look at the back side of it around the lug area it might say somthing like 16-7jj but since they are aftermarket they are probaly 16x10 and the bar i bought off a kid for 150$ and it weighs more than the bed its acualy a roll bar love it i could get the dimentions of the bends and such so u could have one custom made

 

or i can make one

 

Anyone know where i can get a good shop/repair manual for my truck?
