    New fuse might help, just thinking out loud

    I'll have to go find one at a parts store, might have to drop by the stealership if I can't find one. This is some weird specific Japanese style fuse.

    I've seen them at AutoZone and Orielly before, made by Bussmann. I completely forgot to pull all those fuses for extras when I scrapped the other truck.

    I saw those Bussman ones too on Amazon, but those are the flat bolt on ones while this one is the insertion type. Let me keep looking into it.

    Yeah actually now that it's mentioned it's likely a ground cable. There is only one power cable that goes down to the starter. And one that comes up from the alternator to the fuse box.

    I'll have to find where it goes. My 3RZ has a different harness configuration so I couldn't trace that one.

    It's just weird because I can't find the other end of it or where it is supposed to go to.

    Found this thread after I googled '80A Toyota Fuse' and it's about a guy who messed up the grounding on his Alternator when removing it... so I guess that frayed wire very well could be a ground.

    Now the question is, where does it go to?

    I'd look to the stock ground location on the block for the V6, usually only one block ground. I wouldn't bother repairing that, I'd make a new one. Not good to run high amperage loads like the starter without having the block ground, because much smaller wires end up being the new ground and you fuck up electronics and burn low gauge wires.

    Let's pretend that frayed wire is the Alt. ground wire, where does it ground in the engine bay - the block I'm assuming?

    It wouldn't be the alt ground, just the main block ground, the big negative cable from the battery to some boss on the block that is threaded. I don't have a V6 but on the 4cyl that ground is right above the transition to the oil pan, a bolt hole that only holds the ground cable.

    There is no ground wire on the alt anywhere.

    It'll be on the block

    Makes about sense. I assumed it was a power wire since it's on the harness leading to the positive terminal but I didn't check the engine block for broken ground connections.

    You want "210" to be in Kilograms? Because 210 Kg is about 463 pounds. LOL!

    I'm pretty sure it's 210 Pounds.

    Now I'm dreaming if I actually fried my ECU im abandoning this engine and putting in the 2JZ twin turbocharged Supra engine. Toyota stop selling them in the US in 1998 and this truck is a 1998 so if I had a donor car I could swap in all the emissions equipment and make it CA legal. Requirements for engine swap are it has to be the same year or newer and you can't mix truck engines with car engines (can't put a Silverado 5.7l LS into a Honda Civic) in the loosest emissions ruling terms as possible.

    There's one on Copart for sale. Now if only I had $21,000 for what the seller wants for the buy it now price...

    That 210 must be the total shipping weight. The bumper doesn't weigh that much, even with a winch and steel cable. I think the bumper alone is something like 75-80 pounds. I don't remember, but i installed mine (with winch) by myself.
