Depends what you want it for....

If it is to reduce auto temps when towing and reduce auto wear and improve engine braking in general - then no.

If it is for better engine control on very slow speed hill decents where 1st low is not slow enough - then yes.

That is only if you have the extreme valve body installed.

I you install just the lock up relay kit, it wont stall as it wont lock up in 1st.

Have you done any other upgrades like the extreme valve body kit?

so, if you are driving along the road, lock up the TC and then stop at a set of lights - your engine will stall?

yeah some good advice on here and bad advice. Having had a 75x that had over heating problems i've gone through pretty much everything on a toyota's cooling system and know it backwards. Start with the cheap and easy stuff first 1. change fluid - $20-$30 2. Clean radiator fins AND air con fins ...

For the benefit of others, You need to do one thing at a time to work out what the issue is. First thing I would do is re-oil your fan clutch - if it has done 150,000K or more, this is probably the issue... Good news is that Toyota fan clutches are one of the only ones that you can renew the oil on ...

In my experience, 6mm auto cable is not neccesarily large enough. 6mm2 cable is what is minimum. Auto cable is different in that auto cable is measured as diameter including the plastic coating. 6mm2 is the cross section of actual wire. Your fridge will be more efficient using 6mm2. Also, 6mm2 may ...

I may have just cooked my 80 series partrialy due to this problem :cry: Getting it back from near cruiser park http://i152.photobucket.com ...

i would be fitting an aftermarket temp guage as well! the factory guages have a bloody big dead spot, and a few people i have talked to who own a 4.5 petrol say as soon as the temp guage has gone over the half way mark its blown a head gasket. Dont know if they were pulling my leg, but i do know ...

Did you resolve this problem?

If so, what was it?
