Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just wondering if anyone else has had the stop light blow fuses and the turn signals as well. Obviously a short somewhere, but just wanted to know if anyone could give me some hints for the needle in the haystack...thanks (hand signals are so old school )

Has anybody replaced upper and lower joints themselves on a 1993 U.S. Trooper, and if so how bad a job is it? Local garage wants $700 to replace both upper and lower on drivers side and I want to make sure this is not something I can do myself considering the parts are about $90 together. ANy input ...

Anybody know if the clutch cable ering at the firewall can be found easily. Mine snapped in half, and before I go looking just wanted to know what I was up against...thanks

Thanks for the info. Just heard a rumor that ignited a little hope. Daihatsu USA (Leon Barnett) said he had no knowledge of any toyotas that would bolt up w/ out mods. Thanks anyways!

Has anyone heard of using a 1.8 liter engine from toyota that has the same bolt pattern? I have heard rumors here in the US, but no specifics.

Thanks! Will give it my best shot this weekend. My first tbelt change and I didn't want to bend anything!

Would the cam shaft pulley from a 1.6L have a different amount of teeth than a 1.3L? I am having difficulty aligning the Tbelt without keeping the crank pulley from turning...I have been aligning the marks as the manual says, counting the teeth on the belt between marks. But when I try to slide ...

So i bought a used timing gun with no manual and I am trying to make sure that I am doing this right. I am assuming the 1.3L is the same as the 1.6L in this regard. 1) disconnect lower vacuum hose on distributor. plug hose from intake 2) connect power cords and adjust dial to 3 degrees BTDC. Aim the ...

thanks for the advice. Just did not wanted to be extra careful!

Ok, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but since I don't want to bend some valves...when changing the timing belt...if you line up the drilled hole on the crankshaft gear with the mark on the oil pump and the F and hole below the F on camshaft pulley with the arrow on the cover, shouldn't the ...

Thanks!

Not to sound like a newbie to this, but I am. How would you go about getting the orings ... how would I find the measurements of the oring to ask for?

Yes, the fuel rail side.

Seeing as how the Feroza/U.S. Rocky is such a rare commodity here in the states. No local part houses carry orings for the injectors. Does anybody know if the Orings are injector specific or not?

Simply PV, do you know how hard it is to find injector orings here in the states. Can you pick them up at Autozone or someplace like that? I just had one spring a leak tonight while putting fuel rail back on.

Thanks! Will try looking around.

Ok, was wondering, if I have lost the bolt which connects fuel line to filter from fuel rail, are there any aftermarket options to replace the fuel line?

Yes, it did run rich. Egr system absolutely packed with carbon ( i dont know if that's because of this or not) It recently blew a head gasket and I am in the process of putting it back together again. It does lack a little power in third, and the gas mileage was not stellar for what I thought it ...

Well thanks to previous owner, I am currently using the 1.3 HC according to the block number. According to LEon at Daihatsu America, it has a shorter stroke making the block shorter. Thanks for the help!

OK, apparently the 1.3L motor used in the charade here in the states uses 93 teeth. Would the tensioner be different on a 1.3 L than a 1.6L? Is it possible for a 1.3L charade motor to be put in a feroza? I know the engine in the car is not original to the car. Ah! The joys of a used car with no ...

Thanks for looking! Oh well, I wonder if the tensioner could be nonOEM. Oh well, thanks again for the info.

wow! thanks for the quick responses. No the new belt is by Clevite. The used belt - unknown. Thanks.

Anybody know the amount of teeth on the timing belt for a feroza/US rocky. Part houses say 95. Mine has 93. While changing timing belt with a new one ,95 teeth, it has way too much slack. Still had the original which only had about 15000 miles on it, and it is really tight. The belt tensioner moves ...

Well I was actually thinking about the whole axle. Thinking about going to solid axle up front and add an e-locker. I have found several sets of axles for around $300.

I just can't find the threads for this, so here's the question. I have found some solid Hilux axles, just toyota truck axles here in the US and was wondering what is involved in swapping axles on a feroza. Is it worth it? If there is a thread on this please let me know.

So would the commodore v6 be called something different if it is here in the U.S.? Isn't Holden owned by General Motors?

How would you go about making your own? This is for a U.S. Rocky aka Widetrack.

So if you have the noise, and the clutch seems really hard to push in sometimes, what might that be?

I read on a Phillipines Daihatsu club site where they were using a buick/holden 3.8L for a swap.

Any other pieces that can be used? What about the cam? Any advantages in the cam?
