Truck Fixed!

well had a oil leak problem. "long story short"- Wobly Balancer, Cracked the timing gear, and broke the keyway. (so the quick fix)- we got a new balancer and where it goes around the crankshaft we just put some JB weld and let it set over night and wala. (i know its not the best thing, but it saved me having to get a engine. i simply could not afford it with college right now. and if it will last me a year or so that would be great. im keepin my fingers crossed. but knowing these ol toyotas. it may last forver. who knows?

 

Hopefully mine will be fixed within the next week

Congrats!

 

thanks man! whats wrong with yours?

 

nice man. my truck is still in the shop from my timimg belt breaking off bc of my water pump

 

Well...

All my U-joints are bad and my Carrier Bearing needs to be replaced.

Other stuff..

~oil change
~tranny fluid change
~needs new breaks
~alignment

blah blah blah


It hit all at once

 

i've been there also!

 

ahhh i see. i need new breaks too and an alignment but ill get that done later. hope you get back behind the wheel soon!

 

good to hear. jb weld is awesome, hopefully it holds.

 

me too, thanks bud

 

yes it is! i hope it does too!

 

Hope that works out for ya but let me see if I understand this, the new balancer is glued on with JB weld is that right?

 

Well we bolted it up like normal we just added some jb weld where it fits over the crankshaft because it cracked the keyway and timing gear. & we also had a bad wobble. but everything seems to be working as good as new so far.

 

I have heard some amazing stories about JB weld keep us posted on your results please.
