Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi I originally posted in Toyota Tech but wondering if anyone had any different ideas for me? http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic188975.php Hi, Car is an 87 Hilux d/c. 4y-c Recently in the last month or so my car has developed a pinging noise when accelerating. At idle and when backing off the ...

I think you will find if you put the car in low range it will stop rolling.
Maybe get the drums machined and some new pads (possibly doesn't hold because its shiny and hard pads? bit of a guess)
Mine does the same, in 2wd 1st gear it rolls a foot or two at a time but in 4wd low, 1st it doesn't roll.

Yep have tried the fuel types, will check the dizzy cap it's relatively new so thinking that won't be it. But won't rule it out. By bearing on the shaft, do you mean center bearing on transfer case? Because I am leaning towards that being the problem, there is a lil bit of movement there and it ...

Hi, Car is an 87 Hilux d/c. 4y-c Recently in the last month or so my car has developed a pinging noise when accelerating. At idle and when backing off the accelerator at any speed the noise is non-existent. It is the same noise that the car makes when in a gear too high for a hill, if that makes ...

Once the new one is in you will be glad you had a go. And saved yourself many $$$ in the process

Yea thanks for convincing me to do it ..

New cable fitted perfectly and was super easy to install.

So glad I didn't get mechanic to do it

For anyone who cares;

Just took the old cable out took maybe 5 minutes lol

I'm guessing the new cable will come with the protective sleeve too? because otherwise I got no idea how to connect the ends of the cable they look stamped on which would definitely be something I couldn't do haha

Burson at Brendale QLD reckons they only have accelerator cables for 4wd hiluxs up to 1984... EDIT: confirmed at a different store they recommend I try Toyota themselves. And supercheap don't do em at all. Guess I'll go with the one from Repco Lawnton. EDIT: For a bit of fun I called Repco Enoggera ...

I'll go out and have a look at how it works now.

The engine in my lux is the original 4y-C. Why bursons if its an original engine ? the repco one doesnt cut it ?

cheers.

Well repco just quoted me $40 for an accelerator cable so I think I will now cancel the garage booking. cheers for heads up..

Any info on installing the cable ? any tricky bits or hints?

dillza_69 wrote:i did the accelerator cable in my 89 lux, cable cost me $75 and took me about 15min. Tell them to stick it

Where did you get your cable ? is it hard to get the length right or do they only come in one length ?

Changing the oil yesterday I noticed my accelerator cable was frayed in the visible section of it :? As I need to get this done relatively quickly so I can use my car, I booked it in to the Garage, they ordered the part and all before I asked for a quote so I would feel bad for cancelling now, but ...

Ok I get ya. The pin bit on both the steering arm and the little plate at the bottom. The kingpin goes through the inner race of the bearings top and bottom, keeping the bearings in place. Speaking of which, how do people without the SST usually go about pushing the kingpins out of the bearings ? Or ...

Apparently repco does them for 158 each. not too bad I guess. Might check out some wreckers. I took the drivers side all apart today. The Birfield doesn't looked broken at all or cracked ... the other side might be but is there any way to tell if its broken ? Do most people change both birfields at ...

Actually mate the car is clicking pretty noticably when i turn in 4wd. Bought the hub rebuild kit for 141$ and lots of grease yesterday from repco. Who sells birfields ? (is that the question of the year?) :P Longfields :armsup: 630$ american before shipping :shock: ouch Is there a cheaper solution ...

Interesting. I replaced the front bearings not too long ago. (maybe a month or two).

Do it yourself? Did you remember to bend the tabs on the lock washer to lock the adjusting nut in place?

Yep, and sure did.

They are the top and bottom bearings in your swivel hub. Should be fairly easy to tell if you jack the car up and see the whole swivel hub is moving which if your J arm is moving I'd say it is. Get the hub rebuild kit with swivel bearings and you will have fixed your leak as well. Ok, Should I ...

Should definately not be any up or down movement at all. From what you are describing you have very loose wheel bearings and/or loose/worn/collapsed king pin bearings (trunion). Pull it apart and fix asap, definately do not drive on it as is. Very dangerous and likely to damage alot of parts if you ...

Car: '87 Hilux dual cab / Spring pack bigger than normal unsure if it provides 2"s or not. Prob: The steering arm is hitting the U bolts holding the spring pack. I went to drive out of the driveway this morning and come to the first left turn in our driveway the steering is hitting. Some many sweet ...

cheers guys that was it. I just had it apart this arvo.. once I took it out I was trying to figure out how it was supposed to work pretty complex lol. So I just put it back into where it was with some grease and it seemed to work... was still a fair bit of grease there and wasn't too dirty.. still ...

Hi guys, Car; 87' Toyota Hilux d/c Problem; I was parked on a hill with the hilux handbrake on ( in low range in gear ) Put clutch in and it pretty much popped itself out of 4wd. I now can't move the 4wd stick into any 4wd gear. It moves around a little but cannot budge it with my strength.. I drove ...

heat gun till its nice and hot and then ur locking pliers with a metre of pipe over them for leverage should turn.

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z139/chief88_2007/BIGhiluxengines.jpg If your going to be driving it around town you might like the little bit extra acceleration from the petrol. I have the 4y engine in mine and having done over 400thousand klms without a rebuild its still driving quite nicely ...

Although need someone to confirm this as I don't know.

Yea trains pinion nut went on to approx same place as it came off. I marked the edge to line it up. I changed it near 6 months ago now and all has been fine. As you said I think last time i found it hard to put in as id put a bit to much silastic on the outside of seal, was a good fit but I found it ...

ok so.. re greased all nipples on the shafts, they didn't need much. Got my mate to have a look and listen while i drove forward and back a little. The noise is coming from the pinion seal area on the rear diff. Could this mean that the seal has come loose / broken ? I have replaced it in the past ...

Hey all, quick question.. I have a noise coming from under my car, its kind of a scratchy noise, not a constant noise but a scratchy noise on something that obviously revolves. I don't think its brakes as it doesn't happen when I brake and sometimes doesn't go away when I do brake. I don't think its ...

hey mate might be able to take a pic tomorrow afternoon, if that helps.

Was just really interested in replacing the mounting positions and how things fitted in general, like stuff that needed moving, new parts etc.
Theres a fair bit of info on it already on here just interested in pics tis all. Thx.

This is a good table for engines.
