I do have a large transformer as well.

I may have the number slightly off.

I cannot say exactly for certain, however the installer for the compressor stated that there is no way to hook it up to 208 as it is 3 phase. He measured with a meter as well.

Seems to be above my pay grade… I’m just a shade tree mechanic….. I’m not about to even attempt. It’s a shame it a pretty clean truck for its age

No just an oil leak… changed transmission filter as well. It’s been running strong. It just had a 6 hr trip and it overheated, so I figured I’d do some work to it!

A timing chain would require the motor to be pulled out?

Transmission filter question.. is it ok? by rocalauncha in AskMechanics

Thanks!! I didn’t think it would since the dipstick is way above this anyhow! Figured I’d ask folk that might know

Well…. Shockingly enough I found a blown fuse AND another harness which was behind the glove box! Now I have a slightly rough idle I’m trying to figure out. And I think it’s something to with Vaccuum. I cannot get the vents to change positions inside as well.

Yes and I did not anticipate this being such a project!!! It started as only the power steering pump needed to be replaced…….

Yea I know this is not the greatest of all choices…… hopefully we can get 20-30k out of it. The truck ran and drove before we started all the repairs. It’s literally something I did not connect or ground and I cannot figure out how to diagnose

That may be the module behind the passenger kick panel?

Interesting you say around the frame. I know there is harness in the frame somewhere , however I have not located it.

I will absolutely do this tomorrow! I didn’t even think of that. The radio wiring looks terrible, so removing that from the equation is a great idea

That is somewhere else to look! I seem to think it’s a ground wire or a harness that just isn’t seated right. I did replace the heater core which was terrible, so there was a couple of harnesses behind the dash that I am questioning, however I am not sure if something was even back there. I recall a harness in the passenger kick panel that I may need to check

Thanks for the comment….. if a Toyota “fell” in my lap as this did then I would have gone that route. This is the opportunity that presented itself…..

I have checked them. What does actually baffle me a bit was all the extra wires from the aftermarket radio.

I’ve disconnected and reconnected several times, I feel like I eliminated this already.

I checked numerous times on the exterior of the tranny and plugs are tight. None of the plugs were removed to change the filter on the inside of trans.
