Is that Chevy a 4x4?

:coffeedrink: OK thats funny and I own both Jeeps and Toyotas.

Need has nothing to do with it, what do you want.:victory:

Yep a lot of times the rest of the truck wears out around the engine.

Sorry to hear about Downey. Back when I had my 80's Toyota PU's they were the bomb when it came to cool Toyota stuff.

Only 98 and newer diesels have to be smogged in CA right now. Of course that could change at a moments notice.

Look at Downey Offroad, Advance Adaptors, and there are others for a 4.3 swap. I think it would be almost bolt in. You could use a 700R4 adapted to the Toy T-case or a newer stock Toy 5 speed adpated to the 4.3. Downey has lots of info on this swap. You have lots of different options if you...

Chevy 4.3 V-6 swap.

Will we continue to see its build up here?

Mmmm its whats for breakfast.

Exactly. If you are in such a hurry an airplane would be even quicker.

They are good rearends. The Sterling has been around long enough for the kinks to be worked out of it.

I don't know how comfortable the seats in the civy H1's are but the green Humvees suck to take long drives in.:elkgrin: The width is also bad for where I live, lots of trees and mountains, but in more open areas it wouldn't be. And if you go out of the country at all in one it would be a...

If it doesn't have an EGR valve then it has variable cam timing which fulfills the same basic function of the EGR in getting some exhaust gas to stay in the cylinder for the next compression stroke. I haven't been under the hood of a late 90's 4-Runner for quite a while so I can't remember.

NOX is caused when the combustion chamber temps exceed 2500 degrees. This causes the nitrogen and oxygen in the air that goes in the cylinder to come out the tail pipe as oxides of nitrogen which causes acid rain. To control nox EGR valves were installed starting in the mid 70's on vehicles...

Sent you a pm.

If its a non-interference motor then usually when the timing belt breaks nothing bad happens. I think I was thinking of the 4.7 which is an interfence motor. Get a timing belt kit, it has the pulleys too that the timing belt rides on. Get a water pump and thermostat, thermostat is in the...

Very much so. If it breaks bad things can happen quickly. It doesn't surprise me a bit on how well it runs with no maintenance. The 3.4 is an awesome engine. Toyota got it right with this V-6, I won't say anything about the earlier Toyota V-6's:)

What he said about the rear axle. Set up bearings save so much time and frustration. I have done a few gear changes for my work and am in the middle of doing a gear change from 5.87 to 4.56 on my own Jeep. I made my own set up bearings by getting the old ones off and then using a hone and...

Sounds like you have done your home work. Based on what you have done I would say you have a bad head gasket/head on #6. You see lots of bubbles when its cold because things expand when they get hot so you don't have as much of a breach then. I have seen coolant leaks where I put 15 psi to...
