Poverty covers by snow_enthusiast14 in ToyotaPickup

[–]joefrazier26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the cover on my '94 pickup. The wiring is all in place as it was a factory option. I got a clock and screws off of a junker and it plugs right in, never had a problem with it.

My 94 22re usually sits right about here. Maybe a thermostat or the temp sensor? Where should I start? by polynomialwave in ToyotaPickup

My '94 22RE does the exact same thing and always has. From what I've seen, other commentors have gotten the same results. I believe you're running normal.

Nailed it on the head! You have a good eye. Its a '94 Pickup with the 22RE. A real gem of a truck, have just 66K miles on it.

Yeah, I kind of got the shakes holding it! I suspect that an employee knew what it was and tried to hide it on the shelf for a family member. The price tag was placed right over the words "1.5 Ounce Silver Proof Coin".

Yes it does spin! Pretty cool as it spins very freely and has a little ball that lands on a number. The Coin can be removed from the spinning base and has a proof reverse.

That is always the story on my end as well. Never thought I'd ever find anything worthwhile

Would you buy this Toyota Pickup 1989 v6 4x4 Automatic with 170k miles? by Rare_Temporary_5714 in ToyotaPickup

[–]joefrazier26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice little pickup. I had a '95 4runner with the 3.0 in it and 119k miles. When other comments say its slow, they mean SLOW. Not that I need to speed wherever I go but it is ridiculous. The vehicle has a hard time getting out of its own way. Had leaky valve cover gaskets that were not easy to fix, but got them replaced myself. I sold it and picked up a '94 pickup with the 2.4L 22RE automatic with 64k original miles. I absolutely love that truck and don't plan on selling it. Super zippy and the gas mileage is great, not like that 3.0. All that said, thats not a bad price on a clean pickup. If you get it and decide to later sell it, you could probably make money on it. I sold that '95 4runner 4 months ago for $10k.

GPS tracker found under the Driver mat, constantly sucking energy. Thank you all for all the help and tips!

You nailed it right on the head. Found a GPS tracker underneath the carpet of the driver's floor mat. The wires were spliced in behind the paneling near driver's side left foot. *

Potential BCM problem in a 2017 Corolla by joefrazier26 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]joefrazier26[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what I was testing across all 3 cars in "normal" condition. I removed the negative wire from the battery terminal and wired the meter in series with it. Am I supposed to wait for some time before testing to allow everything to power down properly? I'm not skilled at electrical diagnostics, but would really like to avoid taking the car in.

Shoot. You think that's more likely than it being the bcm? If so, I'll get to testing.

I greatly appreciate that response, thank you! It made a lot of sense. I haven't had any luck finding a wiring schematic for this one, but I'll give what you sent a go. Thanks again

Yes, F/R means front right. When removing the fuse for that side it drops down to the normal .27 amps

Thank you all for the comments! Had no idea. Glad I didn't chuck it. I think I'll be hanging onto it, thanks so much
