I emailed u the link Thanks MikeM

Hi, Did u happen to see the video East Coast Gear has on how to phase the motor? We followed the video and it seemed to work. Good luck MikeM

Hi My son has a long travel kit up front and interested in putting in a 1st gen Sequoia rear axle assembly. He recently regeared his 3rd gen and wanted to know if his 3rd member would bolt up to a Sequoia one. We understand springs, shocks and brakes will have to be modified to some extent...

I hope so and hopefully it's not the pump, but not sure what else it could be. It's the Aisin pump with metal gasket. I guess I could have gotten defective or counterfeit one. Thanks MikeM

Thanks for quick response. I guess I'll have to look into this a little deeper.

My bad on double post. Didn't see my original post and didn't think it went through MikeM

Hi, When I did the timing belt/water pump job ( using Aisin kit) a few months ago, I removed the AC compressor mounting bracket. Lately I've noticed signs of coolant leaking by the AC compressor and wondering if it is possible it is leaking from those mounting bolts. I didn't use thread sealer...

Hey guys, A few months ago I did a timing belt water pump job on my 1999 v6 using the Aisin kit. I removed the AC compressor and it's mounting bracket for more room. I know I don't need to remove it, but that's how we did it before on my sons 4runner when we did this job a year ago ( I own 4...

I would verify u r getting power to that injector. If u have a stethoscope maybe u r able to hear injector clicking. I would also check for continuity on the injector Good luck MikeM

Mine just rolled rolled over at 340k. My daily driver and still has original clutch, alt, AC compressor ect. Been an amazing vehicle and long lasting. I bought her with 30k back in 2003 and never thought I would get many miles with such little trouble. MikeM

Hi, Besides my son 4runner I also own a 2000 with a 5 speed. It currently has 340k on original clutch and is my daily driver. I've replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder once at around 180k with Aisin parts. IMO based on my experience with Aisin products, 80k isn't much. The parts...

My son's 98 4runner has LUK flywheel that previous owner put on. We only had it for 2 years but it has been fine. My understanding is that Marlin Crawler sells the LUK flywheel so might as well by it from Summit Racing. The only other things I would include would be clutch master and slave...

Just went through this with my son a couple of weeks ago. We pulled the front axle and rear differential and our cost was 2000. He has a 5 speed and elected to go for 5:29, which he likes, but I think 488 would have been better. Good luck MikeM

Is it possible the catalytic converter is plugged? My friend experienced a loss of power on his Camry and that was his issue. Good luck MikeM
