its not a diff problem. if the the oil pressure is low, check the oil first. if its full then you either have a plugged oil passage, bad bearings or a failing oil pump. at least thats what i think anyway.

well my toyota past started in 96 with a 1975 Corrola SR5. it served me well until the spring of 97 when the intake gasket blew and i bought my moms 78 corrola wagon. sold the 75 to a friend of mine who got it running then blew it up. at about the same time i bought a 79 celica ST which needed...

when can i put htat in my 4runner or my passat?? that is so cool!

sounds like your speedo head is dying. hit up a yard and replace it. thats my suggestion.

250K in my jeep and i run synthetic. have for the last 100k. it actually slowed my oil leaks. jeep 4.0l are notorious for massive rear main leaks. i just recently upped it, within the last 20K, to 15w50 mobil 1 full synth.

alright. i will do that. and maybe install a proper oil pressure guage just to see what my OP is sitting at. i just cant afford this thing to blow up on my right now. everything else i own, except my jeep, is broken. time to get a VC gasket and adjust the valves while i am in there :D

84 with 285,000 on the clock. no idea if thats right or whats been done to the motor. on start up, this thing seems to have a real faint knock. not real loud, but i have not pinpointed it. timing chain maybe??? after a bit it seems like it goes away. also the oil pressure, at idle warm, is a...

first off, what brand stereo?? depending on what brand, may be the reason. a good quality brand, Kenwood, pioneer, alpine, would work better than a cheap off brand like Dual, or something like that. also check your wiring. it may be that something is coming loose and grounding.

if you have the tools (welder and a grinder) clean where it was and reweld it. if not take it in and have a shop fix it up. you might need new mounts if the old ones bent or got trashed in some way but if not, a reweld should sove it.

my Datsun does the same thing. but once tis up in pressure its just fine. i would definatley check the pickup tube and pump.

my old ram ahd a set of Piaa solitare 100s mounted below the bumper for people that liked to come up wiht their off road lights PLUS their high beams on. seem a good number of people turn their highs and aux lights off REAL quick. i have the lights still but cant seem to find them. i really need...
