Is it a good idea to convert to R-134 from R-12? Is there anything that is negatively affected when doing a conversion, compressor, condenser, ect??? This is a question I got from my dad, I believe that it is a good idea, but he wants more input.

Well technically it's a Toyota, so it's not a real truck, it's a Wannabe truck.

You are a silly bunch of people? This is why I love this Forum.

Bought 2 new 850CCA batteries, new cable ($92.00) Put some 911 treatment in the fuel, and added some oil, and it started, but was back firing, every time I would crank the engine over it would back fire, sounding like it was going to blow up. So I gave it a couple of minutes, then tried again...

Anyone have any experience with the older Mercedes turbo diesels, I am considering throwing one in my Jeep, in place of a gas engine. If anyone has any ideas, whether this is a bad idea, or what? Also ideas whether one will bolt up to a strong tranny, how it would be done?

I buy fuel from Flying J, Maverik, or Chevron. I thought that was the fuel filter on the engine, and I figured the fuel pump was on the frame by the look at the pump itself. I used to change the oil every 4k but now money is tight, and haven't been able to afford the $100 every time it has to...

Sorry didn't supply the info 1999 PSD I also have the superchips programmer. Also a lot of items were going weird, wipers were on when the switch wasn't on, the #1 relay was clicking, sounded like stereo was groaning, ect. all this latter stuff happened when battery went mostly dead from...

Where is the fuel pump, and filter? Matter of fact where is CPS?

emptied water fuel separator, could be gelled fuel, is there something I can add to keep fuel from gelling?

Tach works fine, so must not be CPS.

Crazy thing is that it don't sound so stupid, the wife called that one. I said it had nothing to do with OIL. It has been probably 6k miles, so that would be just about right.

My truck started acting up, it will start, I have to floor the throttle to keep it running, run for 30 seconds while floored, and then slowly reduce rpms, then die. Any ideas, I had to leave it at the house I was working at so I can't run any diagnostics

I absolutely hate Toyotas(mostly cause I own Jeeps). But in stock form, Toyota is a great wheeler, pretty strong platform, super cheap parts, cheap to lift and easy to work on. Even a $300 Jeep Cherokee, will cost a pretty penny to put on a decent lift, and then the axles are total garbage. I...

This is one of the most recent pics of my Tow rig. It is of course a little wrecked right now. The wife hit a concrete wall at 55MPH, we drove it for almost a year. Then I rearended 4 cars this last summer. And by itself Here are after the wreck

Wow the economy seals are $25.00 each, that is a great deal.
