New Truck - 91 4runner

Just picked up my new truck tonight. 1991 4Runner V6 auto. I was hoping for a 5spd, but the price was too good to pass up. Fully Loaded, no rust and runs strong. Only downside is the truck's getting close to 300xxx km's. There are a few small issues with the truck, and I also have a few questions.

Issue 1: Fan only works on low setting. doesnt work on any other setting.

Issue 2: Trans will not shift into OD when the motor is cold.

My final question is I would like to know all the peices I would need to get from a junkyard to switch to a 92+ headlight setup? Are the rad supports the same between the 2 styles?

Oh, and pics will be up tomorrow.

1)sounds like switch.if only wrk on high would be resistor
2)has to be at operating temp before going into od.however make sure its not taking to long to warm up & warms up completetely.guage should run around the halway mark

1) yep - resistor pack

2) the ECU tells it to work that way to help the engine warm up faster

You don't want to switch the headlights - the "trapezoidal" ones SUCK. Stick with the square ones and swap in some Hella Vision Plus housings - the light pattern will be 100000000000x better.

Found a New issue aswell. The oil pressure gauge reads really low, but I slapped a pressure gauge on the system and I have good pressure. maybe a sensor is worn?

It would be insane for Toyota to have different core supports ... I bet the proper holes are really there...
