3.4 huh Do you know any details of this conversion to a 3.4 Wiring? Computers? Is the motor a direct bolt in? Doesn't the 3.4 have a very different induction system?

I'm about to start a full hi-po engine rebuild project. I'm planning on cams, headers, new dual exhaust and some suspension work. Any body want to chime in before I buy parts. I will keep all up to speed with pictures as I go.

Your mileage may vary I have a 90 V6 Auto that gets 14-16 mpg, by the Odo. I have recently calibrated the speedo with my gps, and found out that an indicated 70 mph is in fact 75 or 76. The truck came with 225/75 15's and now has 31x10.5, I assume the spped gear was not changed, and the source...

HUH? Can I ask why you insist on 4WD? When you hear the noise, what conditions are you driving in? Does it make the noise in 2wd? Does it make the noise in the dirt with 4WD engaged. If it makes alot of noise. Don't do it. Your truck is way too clean to need 4wd engaged. See my truck! PPP!

chevy I hate to propose this, but a chevy V-8 fits!

What, you don't have a driveline shopp in town? MOst can be repaired or replaced. A good driveline shop could whip you one out cheap.

Sure you can. You just need to design and build a custom ECU, or find one that does that. Pratical? NOT

Shoot the mechanic. Don't replace the master-yet. When you run the engine hard, your throttle is open for long periods and you will lose engine vacuum. If heat on an unused brake system causes the go away, it probably is heat causing the brakes to boil under continuous downhill loads. You, I...

The key slides into a slot in the crankshaft. If the key is gone (or partially), remove it. If the edges are sharp on the crank, and a new key can go in, then get a new key, and probably a new pulley and you will be OK. If there is play in the slot of the crankshaft, I'll tell you where to go...

Just plan on spending $2K on repairs. If you are willing to do that, it'll be a good deal. If not, you are choosing to drive on a very old driveline, shocks, brakes, and whatever else. If you leave some money for maintenance after the purchase, you'll be fine. If not, just blame the used car...

Hi, I'm having fits finding a good rear bumper hitch combo that clears the 31x10.5 spare underneath. I can also buy a spare carrier, and I have a hitch, but am looking for one solution that leaves the spare underneath where it belongs. My rear bodywork is real rusted (gone) and I am doing...

OK, if you had started with the o2 sensor over a year ago when the light came on, you would not be having all these issues. I would change the o2 sensor. and after that the temp sensors. Now, probably something else has failed and you are getting two or more issues building on each other...

more bars Nope, not worried about the lengths. Vehicle is fine.

In the factory shop manual, depending on model, the "vehicle height" is measured as 10-11" by model to the center of the front camber adjustment bolt, to the ground. Mine is just 10.5" Could that be what they are talking about?

I just did a brake job, the hard way. I had a pull in my $1000 90 4runner. I knew the brakes were the cause, but, because i've done so much on this truck, I just hadn't gotten to the front end. She pulled to the right under braking. Controllable, but a steady pull. I pulled the right front...
