What is broken on YOUR Toyota
#922
haha. chef...i got the bolts out using the ol' easy out...2 hours of trying to drill straight holes, making sure I'm not rubbing on a hose or electrical...breaking one easy out!...finally using a pipe wrench on them and they came out nice and easy, like nothing was ever wrong! I read that a bad regulator in the alternator can cause that fuse to blow, so we will find out today if thats the case or not.
Congratz! And yes, ... not sure which fuse you mean.. But the 80A in the fusible link can MOST DEFINITELY blow if the Alternator conditions are just right!
I have many spares I've picked up at PIck-your-part... The original/OEM ones aren't cheap(not sure if they're better, either, but at 1$.... worth it to me! haha)Clutch is slipping-- been reading about which replacement kit to buy. Many recommended WabFab but seems they only make kits for 4x4s. I e-mailed WabFab a legitimate query & rec'd from them a sarcastic reply. My 1991 XtraCab pickup is a 2x4 and 4-cyl. so now looking at Marlin-- can I use Marlin for street-only riding, I don't off-road. Trying to educate myself about ceramic, dual-friction, or just a $99 OEM kit from AutoZone DuraLast. Never had a clutch replaced before so want to do this right 1st time.

But I've seen better prices than that even....... Just can't remember where. I got mine for 138$, for a slighly heavier duty Daikin/Japan Kit(Exedy bought Daikin... so you have to look/ask to see if it's actually a "MADE IN JAPAN" disc/plate/bearing kit, ya know? Seems prices are a bit higher than when I bought mine just 2 years ago
Search around on here, many purveyors... you'll find a good deal. PS.... Wabbit is ALWAYS sarcastic... Just expect that. If you find he has the better deal for an OEM clutch kit.... GET IT, you don't have to spoon with him, ya know? hehehe... JK, but you know what I mean, hopefully. I think he has a 13% off sale, not sure if it was only for Friday the 13th... Maybe extended?
Another..........Not sure the make........

Just be sure the box you get from Exedy kit doesn't say "CHINA" on it, cuz that's where MANY of them are made now. But you can still get their Japan made kits(I'm going by memory on most of that "China" stuff...there is an article on it, pretty sure, and you can read when Exedy bought them, which are made in Japan, how many, etc., IIRC)

ChefYota4x4;HAHAHA.... Dude, ... you're one HILARIOUS monkey-man! lol. Again, JUST YOUR PORTRAIT GOT ME! haha... But, ....that was pretty funny too.... "Hmmm, looking for my ball peen hammer, as we speak... YEP, there it is.... CRUNCHHHHH" hehe. So....... wouldn't you have to replace her's if you broke it, as well? Or is this 'eye for an eye' move just about the principle of the matter?
haha.
haha.
I got it!, I'll put some ex lax in her coffee

So it looks like my TPS is bad. There's no change in idle speed when I unplug the connector or jump the terminals and checking to make sure the throttle stop screw was done right (thanks Chef, I got this now). So now I'm off to the rockauto website to order a new one. I have a growing collection of their magnets on my refrigerator.

Hey, just a personal opinion here,.....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! hahaha... JK, but really, go OEM. Through the Online OEM Toyota Websites, ... you can grab a Factory TPS for around 75$.... NOT much more than the other parts vendors. NOT that Rock Auto's part is junk... It's just... how long did that TPS last? Also, get Allen Bolts, in case you need to adjust it later on, ya know? Go to here and look them up and maybe order them or get ones just like it? (bout half way down the page)>>>>

From: Camp Pendleton, CA. but am originally from Sisters, Oregon.
bangs and bruises
my 2000 4Runner SR5 needs the following
-A new paint job on the passenger side, as a very nice individual decided to key my rig back and forth from the back tail lights to the head lights.
-the factory stereo system is shot, will be replacing soon
- the spare tire cable was clipped underneath the truck, I want to replace the factory bumper with a spare tire swing gate custom bumper.
- I have no exhaust system, big holes completely rusted through.
ANY BODY KNOW OF A GOOD PLACE IN OREGON TO GET WORK DONE?

Well, .... for 12 years, I've had NO #1 setting on my Heat/AC blower motor lever... Ordered the Blower Motor Resistor from www.RockAuto.com and I'll be blowing LOW when needed in no time
It's in the mail/shipped. 9$ with coupon I get in the email, monthly.
I needed this, because on #2 setting, with fully charged R12... it's a bit too much at times, to be honest... TOO cool/Plus, .........it's wasting power and I would imagine demand on the compressor, right? So why not fix it. PLUS< ... I wanna have pretty much NOTHING broken on my Toyota, eventually! .... It IS possible, right? Please tell me yes? hahaha.

add driver door handle to my 4runner's list of broken crap. PO had wired it up with zip ties instead of fixing it, also was missing a spring which caused the lock to occasionally not work at all. Key no longer works in the driver door either, not too well in the pass. side either. At least I got the door handle working until I get a new one ordered.
back window still dead....
need to go to Toyota and have them cut me a key from my VIN if they still do that. Otherwise will need to replace doorlocks at a minimum as well as ignition if I want it to use one key. crap!

Honestly, I don't think it's the same part.... This was mine....... RU250 ...
This is what I find under 89 22RE PU, ....... RU246
This is a blow up of that part... It looks different to me, but is also, like mine, a 4 terminal switch resistor.........
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=443625
Just go to www.rockauto.com and look up your year... Just to double check my search. Also, call them, make them work a lil and be SURE that's the part you need, ok?

....and sad at the same time that she's succumb to the 'TIRED' monster!
hahaha.

Hey William.................. I'm not sure, but from your ID pic, it appears you have a 3rd Gen PU? If so, .....read the quotes below(from the previous page) and hit up the link in the response I posted to Sparks89.... That should take you to the list/etc., where you can enter your year and be SURE you get the right one.... His, being an 89 PU, is a different part than the one I got>>>>

And on that key by VIn scenario, I went to toyota, told them my key was worn down. All they asked for was the vin, and cut me a new key for free, it was being a PITA to get the ignition to work with that duplicate key, but after they cut by vin I had no problems, starts everytime no grabbing at all. I've been using the key for a few months now

Far as the key, thanks! They told me they'd check... "hard to say since it's old".... but I'll press the service counter people as well... they had trouble finding my rig in the VIN# system to look for 'recalls I am owed'! GRRR! Hopefully I wont have this issue with the key! IF they can even do it? haha... Thanks

thanks Chef and Vanduzer! I had one cut when I bought my truck, they told me it would normally be $80 (in 2003) yikes! I will see, probably will make it to Toyota on thursday.
haven't even looked at prices for the door handle, my guess is you have to buy the whole thing...
the rear window key should go smooth if I need to swap it, I already have all the panels removed but hopefully I won't have to replace it. It's just held in with a thin sheet metal clip. the door locks are super easy to replace, the ignition would be the bear I think.
I'll let you know if they cut my key Mark
