87 22r no power
Can some of you folks tell me different ideas on why my recently purchased 87 toyota 22r engine has very little power.

Interesting 4WD behavior, 92 PU
To all, I have a '92 extra cab 4WD pickup with the V6 and automatic hubs. I had new BF Goodrich tires put on it about a month ago.

A couple days ago it seemed like th... 19 Oct 2007 23:02

I 've recently noticed a vibration in my 91 v6 4x4 that seems to happen around 60 to 80 km/hr.

There's also a miniscule amount of play in the U joint/ Spider jo... 28 Sep 2007 03:16

what service really needed?
I'm a guy who often feels ripped off at garages- so I have to be sure work is really needed. I have a '04 Tacoma. I've been doing oil changes regularly, though a big late. I'm now just over 60,000 miles and got from Toyota a list of work to do including, "4-wheel alignment/balance & rotate tires", "timing b... 29 Sep 2007 07:54

Coaster Brakes - dragging / sticking after rain / wet roads
We may have a problem with the brakes on a 2006 Toyota Coaster bus (6 cyl diesel) that someone here may be able to advise on. Hopefully I'm not too far OT. The driver says the brakes drag or lock on a little after being driven in the rain and then being parked overnight. After using the brakes half a dozen t... 13 Sep 2007 14:03
