Yeah. It hold a standard Chevy thermostat. So it has the added benefit of providing me with an easy replacement thermostat instead of needing to order one from Toyota Japan.
Dude I wish I had known you were working on it today. I was driveing home through Seattle today at 2
Today after work I pulled the radiator fan out. And unbolted the fan from the viscous clutch. These things are notorious for running dry. Once I split the two halves I saw that mine had hardly any oil in it. I was suspicious of this and had purchased some RC differential silicon oil in 10,000 Wgt.Now when I am driving I can hear the fan whir up to speed along with the engine. I drove it on the freeway today in heavy stop and go traffic with no problems. These cooling improvements are doing some good. In case you're wondering Toyota originally installed 7,500 Wgt. 50 ML is all it needs.
You can get a little bottle of the oil from a toyota parts dept and it's super easy to do. Worth getting a new o-ring in there while it's apart, too
Id get the genuine seal kit.. I have the part numbers if you want themIn fact i have a seal kit that was going in a RHD box thats now no use to anyone...
I've heard there are 2 IFS steering boxes from 86-95 with the later version geared differently so there is less rotation of the steering wheel to turn. Do you know this to be true? If so, I must have the earlier version as it takes a lot more rotation of the wheel to turn than it did with my 85 push/pull box.
Early version 86-88 p/u and 86-89 4runner, later version 89-95 p/u and 90-95 4runner, the later box is 1 " longer at input shaft, and also Has different, faster internal gear ratio, requiring slightly less turns
