2nd and 3rd gen 4runner. I think that is 90-2004? The 1st gen Tacoma, 95-04, also uses them. They are pretty robust, I am probably one of the few to pull any out of a junkyard:) as they always seem to be in every door. I used rears without locks as they require less cutting to fit, but the...

Yea that is inside the 2” bend radius…

I believe it is brazed into a fitting boss…

Cab manual pump is forward of the toolbox/fuel tank on the passenger side.

“Are we there yet” ”NO!” “Are we there yet” ”NO!” “Are we there yet” ”NO!”

Yea, that was an old style antenna base for a data radio/terminal and tracking system. If you google the name on the antenna mount you can see the current version they manufacture. The old style used that mag base and an antenna array, the new style is a dome. Basically 1 or 2 rigs in a group...

Sounds like the air pump is fine. I think NDT has it backwards though. Both pump outouts are Td together in the manifold. There is a check valve on the output of both pumps so they do not back feed each other. There are some pressure steering check valves in the manifold between the two pump...

I actually had that happen on a turbo oil line… WTH I know I tightened that fitting! Another fix is to deform the line loop slightly in the loosening direction as you tighten the fitting so the natural shape of the loop is then always applying force in the tightening direction…

You could use a rubber or foam mounted, or even stuffed in between the hoop in the tube and the head, but the flexibility of the rubber/foam would have to exceed the ammount of potential energy of the tube hoop when a vibration force is applied to it, so it can’t move. You actually want the...

I am sure tying the center of the hoop to a bracket attached to the block would fix it. Every pic of a broken one I have seen has broken right where the tube is welded to the fitting boss. This is what indicates vibration to me, if it were some other cause they would break in different places...

Even for that type line, which is a little more forgiving of bend radius, it is still closing in on the minimum bend radius. Most of the teflon ones I see being installed are well under the min bend radius. 2” radius means it has to go around the outside of a 4” piece of pipe… thats why I...

A false alarm is not such a big deal especially if I know I am not level. They are typically placed out over the deep part of the pan sump, at about the height of the raised bottom. This pan doesn’t have a very deep sump, but if my measurments are correct the pan is normally nearly full, so if...

Well if it can read weld deformities thru the steel, thats saying something for the resolution… Neet tool!

Along the lines of an oil level sensor, up to 96 ford mustangs used them, and a lot of GM/chevy’s use them. The fords are $60-100 bucks and the GM’s are in the $20 range. I don’t recall the ford thread spec, but the GM’s use a M20X1.5 thread. They are installed in the side of the pan at a...

The problem wasn't that it was a steel line, there are other steel and oil hard-lines on the truck and they don’t seem to break. these lines should last forever, especially considering these trucks don’t have hundreds of thousands of miles on them… The problem was the application. All those...

Perhaps more effective would be a low oil level sw in the sump wall to tell you the pan is low before the pump looses suction. Pretty common low cost item that works great on pressure washers and other power equipment. would turn something like this into a non event…

Thats cool, what scanner are you using?

Is the trans control panel showing N N? Is anything going click when you push the start button?

Cool, keep an eye out for it though, we had one guy break one, replaced it with the cat part and turned right around and had that one fail not too long after. it is an overhung part without support and will tend to oscillate if any vibration is put into it… like a diving board…

Yep, send me a message and we can work out the details.
