How did you a find a photo of my trail-fix-turned-4-year-fix? haha

 

How does one remove that shaft with gear? I am trying to swap to a manual shaft tube. Do I have to crack the whole case open? If so anything to watch out for? Never done one of these. Will be looking at the FSM also, but could use some input:



Thanks for any insight folks

 

It should just pop out. Kind of like the CV axle should pop out of the front diff.

That being said, it's a royal pain in the ass.

 

Ok, that's keen at least. Yeah it's gonna be a PITA for sure then. Bloody FSM shows a SST of course...

 

Keep those of us wanting to do the swap posted

 

Pm me a nice pic of your truck and I’ll photo shop it up for you.

 

So f’in badass.

 

Timmy the tool man has a video on it. I tried finding it, but my phone's acting like a punk at the moment. @Timmah!

 

Yeah I checked it out after @MattJakobs clued me in that it just pops like a CV.

Funny you should bring up Timmy lol, couple of pry bars and some "man strength" and she is outta there!

@Madjik_Man per your request good sir - It's a solid PITA, but i'd wager it is worse for some than others.



Thanks for the help fellas

 

After your swap, I should fly you in to CO and do mine

Your attention to detail aligns with mine. Only I don’t think I can do this swap myself.

 

Hey guys, I’m having a new kinda odd problem.

At the very end of the ignition cycle just as the engine fires up I’m hearing a weird grinding sound. Not while cranking and not when it’s running, just immediately as the motor fires up. Ideas?

 

Starter motor not disengaging?

 

I suppose that could be it. Is there a fix or just replace the starter??

 

Starter Bendix unit retracting?

 

I'd hit the starter, at the business end, with a hammer. Not too hard, but more than a few times. If it gets better then we have a good theory and replacing it would be the best option.

 

I’m working on a new project I found sitting up. Squirrels or some rodent chewed up a lot of the wires and some connectors are gone. It’s a-
1991 Toyota Pickup 4wd, 4cyl 22RE, SWB, Manual transmission.

I’m working on replacing the Oxygen sensor and need help with the wiring underneath the truck. There’s no connector, just 4 wires hanging down-
White/red
Pink/green
Black
Brown

I bought a new Denso O2 sensor from Amazon and it has 4 wires-
Black
Black
White
Blue

Thanks for any help and information.

My attention to detail on my truck is crap, on other stuff, I'm a machinist and used to do custom architectural fabrication, so I've got a bit of detail. If he doesn't take you up on the offer, I will. All I need is copious amounts of beer, at least 12 per day for working hours and another 8 for after work hours. I'll stay in a tent and provide my own food, as long as game is available.

But seriously you can do it yourself, it helps to have a second pair of hands for pulling the wiring on the auto and pulling installing the trans. There's a few of us active on here who have done it and are more than willing to give advice.
