    3rd Gen A/C is losing out to the Florida heat

    Sound like your system has a leak. Your system only holds 24oz fully charged and you've added 36oz in the last several weeks. Your system would not blow 44* air if it was that over charged which suggests it has leaked down to an in range level. I'd start spraying leak detector or soapy water on...

    What's This? (cooling system)

    Supposedly the 79710-SDA-A01 Honda heater control valve uses the exact same Denso valve as the one on our 3rd gens. You would have to reuse your existing bracket and control arm. I see them for less that $40 using google search.

    My rear seals and wheel bearings thread

    So...why are you wasting your time trolling around in a forum like this then Saul? I'll make a suggestion. You could always log into Facebook and get it all out of your system when you feel the need. Then you could log in here and contribute something positive with your 40+ years of experience...

    My rear seals and wheel bearings thread

    No he's not and everyone can see that you altered his original quote. Most of us greatly value his videos and hope he keeps them coming. Just FYI.

    Nice work Nissanh! Do you by chance have the measurement from bottom fender to center of axle with your OME 2890?

    Best 99' steering rack option

    You can't beat a new OEM rack. Call your closest Toyota dealer parts dept, give them your vin number and tell them to order you a new rack asap. Since your on a time crunch and your not worried about cost you might as well have them install it as well.

    Don't You Just Love the Enormous Video Ads?

    Turn off your add blocker and compare this site to other successfully run websites and you'll understand what everyone is talking about here. The difference is huge.

    Don't You Just Love the Enormous Video Ads?

    mtbtim A while ago I got dinged for posting a link to one of your 5VZE related videos while trying to help a guy out. I think it was on Tacoma World 1st Gen site. Love it or hate it I guess it's their business and their rules and we can take it or leave it. It's definitely not how I'd run a...

    Don't You Just Love the Enormous Video Ads?

    The one I use is actually called Adblock. That or any of the other ad blockers mentioned here work good and have extensions for Mac, Windows, Linux,Etc. I'm using Linux Ubuntu and love it. I got feed up with the constant Microsoft Windows updates a while ago and never looked back. I don't like...

    Don't You Just Love the Enormous Video Ads?

    Yeah Tim, totally agree. Anyone google searching for information on their 3rd gen will immediately recoil and back away to a different site when they get hit with those ads. I don't know how this site gets new members. If I didn't use an ad blocker I would have abandoned this site years ago.

    Radio issue

    Are you sure your head unit went bad and not your factory amplifier? You may have also bought another bad 26 year old head unit. Have you considered swapping everything out for an aftermarket powered head unit? Places like Crutchfield include harness adapters which pretty much make it plug and...

    Help Deciphering Misfire Inspection Report

    The technicians notes look solid to me. I agree the next step is to pull the head and dig deeper. They recommend a rebuilt or remand head because your head may not be rebuildable.

    The 3rd Gen All Questions Allowed Thread

    I'm wondering the same thing and now that I think about it, most of that post seems completely absurd. Pretty sure I was duped by AI ridiculousness.

    The manufacturer of the aftermarket UCAs can sell you UBJs engineered to fit their UCAs. What brand UCA? JBA?
