don't mean to hijack, but I was told that the rad for a V6 is the same as 4, is that true? Do they actually bolt right up no matter what motor you have and have the same cooling abilities...? I'm also in the market for a replacement, mine is leaking at the top cap.. thanks

So I made some assumptions, that the equipment from the doner was original. The front and back diffs came from the same truck, (93 t4r) I confirmed via the codes on the door it was a 4.88 (G144). My existing code is a G292, I interpreted this to be I have a 4.11 gears w/2 pinions and the doner...

OK, not that experienced, but going to dive in. 95, 22RE, manual, ADD. I picked up a rear end from a V6 Auto, (4.88 gears) along with the matching front diff. I Also got some AISIN Manual hubs, and what to eliminate the ADD. I want to do things in sequence, so that if something stumps me...

Reverse Carpet?? I did carpet was trashed on my 95 when I got it. I'm building a Baja machine that will be used primarily on the beach for fishing, exploring, running the dunes, etc down in MX. I pulled the carpet, dunked it in cleaner, let it dry and reinstalled it upside down. Now the...

We have a winner, FourWD1 nailed it (thanks!!. After wracking my head on how to deal with a dead motor, I filled the rad up to the top, and started the truck... immediately I saw a stream of water, coming from a small hose. When diaging on the road side, no water was evident, making it hard...

Heading out for a ride, stopped at a light and saw all kinds of steam coming from under the hood. Pulled over and reviewed the situation.. coolant was on the hood and the side walls. Steam stopped, engine never overheated (got sooo lucky), so I had some water and pored it in the rad.. Caped...

OK, so I have read here and there about the different stock rations available, but I'm still fuzzy, sorry. I have a 95, 22r, 5 speed. The idea is to make it a beach rig for fishing Baja, and as such I want to get a lot of footprint so it "floats" on the sand, (not the ocean). I'm hoping a...

The T case and the tranny have the same size drain bolts. I used new copper washers one all, and that corrected the leaking. I also found that the tranny had a crack in the pan at the drain plug... some liquid gasket and good vibs and I think its fixed... time will tell. I haven't touched the...

Question to all those with the experience... Thinking of 33 12.5 15 on my currently stock 95, and based on the info gather above, I should probably consider gears at some point to bring up the RPMs. That said, are the diffs the same for the V6 vs. 4 banges? Was wondering if I found a set of...

thanks for the responses. 911 the center console only works to roll the window up, I tried to figure out the wiring on the switch but failed. It has 5 pins, and don't understand why.. the key in the door worked for both up and down till it failed again. could the center switch affect or burn...

Had truck 3 months, the rear window stopped rolling up. Did my research, found that the controller behind the rear Qrt panel was most likely the issue. Got a used one on Ebay, replaced and was working fine. Now it broke again, rolls down, not up (same problem as before). I put meter to...

Thanks Kid, i'll go get a few washers. I wanted to do the two diffs also, would they all use the same washers or are the diffs different?

Got a 95 that will be a trail rig, nothing fancy just a beater. 22R, 5 speed, already dented in all for corners, with 260 K. Runs great, very happy so far. Decided to do some maint, and changed the tranny oil a few weeks ago, then did the transfer case yesterday. (Both were very clean and...
