Finally back and running strong.

Well after my 3.0 blew up on me and $1400 in buying 2 motors that i was told were running.One with a rod knock the other had a dead cylinder. My father in law went out and bought a wrecked toyota at a auction for $1750. Suprised me by putting the motor in and dropping it off. So glad to have it back.

Now I just need to do a slight lift and I will be a happy camper.

Damn that was nice of him! You got a good father in law!

Welcome back brother, good news though is you have plenty of engines for parts if you need em

 

[4runnerBrett]

Ya we are going to try and make one good motor out of them.

 

[4runnin83]

Whats the mileage on your new one?

 

[KidVermicious]

What an awesome father in law. I want a new motor too, your wife got any sisters?

 

[4runnerBrett]

Not sure on mileage since it looks like it was replaced before truck got wrecked. But it runs good and pulls the 33s good.

Well had a issue today. Went out to do alittle off roading and just as im about to drop into this mud area I put it in 4hi and drop in and notice my 4wd light doesnt come on. Im like noooo as im already down this slope in the mud. Luckily I was able to make it out in 2wd with alittle work.

Now I got to hunt down this issue.
From what I can tell the vacuum to the actuators look good and the ADD sensor is less then a year old. 4Lo feels like it engages but still didnt work.

 

[4runnin83]

My actuator is completely out =X

 

[4runnerBrett]

Does anyone know if there is a trouble shooting guide in the FSM for ADD system.

 

[mikebontoft]

I imagine there probably is.

Hey just saw this thread..... that's pretty cool! just noticed you appear to be missing the ground that comes off the upper intake manifold to the body.

Ugh why do you have the same factory vinyl that I do. WHY??? lol.

 

[4runnerBrett]

I have been debating on ripping them off.
