Took a video... You can hear it cut out anywhere above 15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j_mwuUPrcA&feature=youtu.be

Autozone had a flared piece 10" or so that just needed bending to fit. Thanks all for the help so far taking care of some of the maintenance. Just finished a month long 5000+ mile road trip pulling a 1500lb trailer without a problem. Proud of the old rust bucket. During one of my oil changes...

Had the brake rotor off checking the bearings. Hard line to the front driver caliper cracked right next to the fitting and leaked. Trying to bend up a piece of replacement line right now, but does anyone know if you can buy an exact replacement anywhere? Safe just to bleed the fronts once...

'93 with 140k miles and the original radiator, pinhole leak on top. Got around to replacing it today. Poking around in there I was surprised to see a tranny cooler mounted in front of the ac condensor, was this ever a factory option? Anyway... I have the fan shroud mounted on the replacement...

Cycled the rear wiper and back came the rear window! Harness worked fine. Get one marked "converter," they're around $25 and convert the signal for the flat4 plug (one I got was Hopkins part$ 46155). Glad I went with a relatively light trailer - the 1100lb popup I was picking up pulled fine...

The hanging out in 3rd gear in colder weather seems to be a common problem, btw. I noticed it this fall too. Some owners were speculating it was designed that way to help it warm up faster... Anyway at the very least doesn't seem to be an indication of anything going out on the transmission...

!&*@%^! Thanks for the info man, I was only finding generic kits where I had to splice, find a ground etc but called autozone and they had that part number - looks plug and play I go to lower the rear glass so I can get the harness on there and pick the trailer up tomorrow. Wouldn't ya...

Can't find that on their website or anywhere else, do you know where I could find it? The powered kits run like $40,Toyota 4 Flat Trailer Tow Hitch Wiring Kit w Powered Tail Light Converter | eBay and I'd have to wait to have them shipped.

My 93 came with what looks like a tow package. The PO included a hitch, courtesy of it being rusted on :bravo: . I would assume he had something set up for trailer lights but couldn't find a plug under there. Here is all I could find underneath. That wire is running from the bottom of...

Thanks. Loaded it up pretty good and got it back together in the nice 25 degree weather, snowing. I could not get one of the inside pistons on the drivers caliper to retract. I had to use the old pad since I could not get the clearance I needed for the new one. Truck is pulling right on hard...

Thought I had that in there - '93

I bought replacement bearings to put on with new rotors and pads and have them packed and ready to reinstall. When I removed the hubs yesterday, they were PACKED with grease between the bearings, all the way to the spindle (? I think, whatever the hub mounts to). So I would estimate an almost...

Thanks for the replies. Replaced the seal today instead of raking leaves. Insane amounts of debris embedded in old gear oil, let me grab a pic to post. Must've been leaking forever. The guy at the shop said I'd need 80-90 gear oil, lmk if theres something particular I should fill with (will...

Found this on craigslist for a winter ride. Incredibly clean but some rust. Paint was oxidized but it came back very nicely with some polishing compound (I was one door in when I took the pic). Registered it a few weeks ago and found this leak today. I read that the axleseals go often but...
