Topic: Diesel GOAT: The one I wish Toyota would have built

[redneckcustoms13]

This thing will have one heck of a crawl ratio and with the torque of the little diesel it's going to be unstoppable.

This thing will have one heck of a crawl ratio and with the torque of the little diesel it's going to be unstoppable.

I already had it running once with this setup. If I put both t-casses in low (2.29 x 4.7) and the transmission in 1st gear I could stand on the brakes with all my weight and the engine only at an idle would just keep chugging.

4.313x2.29x4.7x4.88 = 226.5:1

This weekend Zippo and I rebuilt my transmission.
Thanks for the help Zippo!!
He also realized that we forgot to stake the output shaft nut and split the cases to take care of it for me.

[LittleSteve]

Is it, done, yet?

[THK Matt]

I agree I need to get this thing done. I’ve been focusing on the Tercel lately because I’m giving it to my nephew and I want to get it dialed before I hand it over to him. It’s going to be his first car.

Injection pump is now installed.
The 4Runner will be here from Oregon on Thanksgiving.
Things are happening. 

[helipilot77 [OP]]

It’s good to have her here again.

[:)bestgen4runner]

I just love the look of the 1st gen 4Runner.   
I can't wait to see this truck on the trail.
Put Me on the list to attend it's first trail outing.

if the Tundra goes missing from your dads driveway.............dont call me

[LittleSteve]

Oh and; is it done yet?

[zippo]

It’s good to have her here again.

But its at my house?

[helipilot77 [OP]]

But its at my house?

At least it’s in the right state.

[Rockcrawlintoy]

looks familiar
 

[:)bestgen4runner]

I'm going to guess? It's a Zippo's house now?

[zippo]

That looks like my house.

[helipilot77 [OP]]

If it was at my house it would be on the street. My new house has no garage. 

[:)bestgen4runner]

I will call this progress. One step closer to driving down the road again.

buttoned up the timing gears this weekend. I think its time I send in my Snap-On click type torque wrench for service. it was giving me some pretty scary feelings when I was torquing the idler gear bolts, but when I pulled it off to check the threads on both the bolts and the holes in the block they looked pristine. I used my old Blackhawk beam style torque wrench to redo them.

[helipilot77 [OP]]

I have zero thrust clearance on the fuel pump pulley so FSM says it has to come off along with the front cover.

 

[H8PVMNT]

What do you do?  Shim it?

[helipilot77 [OP]]

All it says is take it apart and put it back together. I guess I just hope for the best.

[LittleSteve]

It rubs on the case?
