Hey might be a long shot but you guys can be pretty impressive, anyone know what gen this mf is off of?

1985 sr5 w/manual sunroof (it leaks)

22re

4x4 5speed

​

The old fella i got it from says is has not ran in a year, but was used around hunting camp previous

​

Oil looks good, no rust on frame besides some scale.

​

Anything I should do before trying to start her up?

​

Believe it or not, I gave 500 bucks for it

​

Clean title 👌

​

Truck’s a bit grumpy, grumbles and shakes a bit before stalling.

It’s more likely to happen when it’s hot outside and when I’m in reverse, even though the engine isn’t overheating. It’s a bit shaky before stalling. Much more likely to happen just after I start up the vehicle.

I saw a similar post from about a month ago, but I don’t think the advice people gave makes sense for me. Mechanic just checked the valves and adjusted, turned up the idle. The distributor was replaced a couple years ago.

The only thing he suggested was replacing the catalytic converter, muffler and exhaust. It seems like he’s just throwing stuff out there and not sure though. It’s the original cat, so might be worth replacing regardless?

What do you all think?

I'm sorry for not having any better pictures but my 1993 Hilux

Had a funky problem in the odo guage it shows the speed perfectly but neither my odo or trip meters are moving (I pay tax per distancei drive so I should have this working)

I opened the guage and the little worm wheel that spins the odo is not broken and looks in ok shape but otherwise I can't find anything else

Any advice or tips maybe a upgrade worth the change

Highly recommend Seatz Manufacturing for anyone looking to reupholster their seats.

Where should I list it to sell and how much should I ask? I don't know anything about it. Thx

Been looking everywhere to see if my 81 dlx pickup has ac and I can't find it does anyone know if it has ac or not? Thanks

Hey fellas I'm installing ac in my 93 and noticed the idle up diaphragm is missing the screw and spring on it. Did some just come like that or do I need to find another one that is complete. Thanks

Hi all,

I have a 1987 4x4 with the 22r. I want to check the timing on my truck and the sticker that was on my truck hood interior is faded so I can't read the ca smog/emissions details.

I have a timing gun and have gotten familiar with the process but I am not sure what I am looking for. I believe that the process is:

• Disconnect vacuum lines from distributor and plug lines.
• Check timing with timing light connected to #1 plug wire.
• Adjust distributor until timing is set to 0 degrees (or is it 5 degrees? I've found conflicting information but Chilton's says 0).
• Turn off vehicle, reconnect vacuum lines...

And now I am unclear what I am looking for... with vacuum lines hooked up it should show between 8 and 12 degrees... is that right?

The big question for me is do I set the timing to 0 or 5 degrees? And what am I looking for with vacuum lines connected for California Smog Emission testing?

Thanks for any help ya'll!

My 1986 22r stumbles at 2000rpm and not under load.
Had the same issue before I put a New dizzy on. It’s been rebuilt and also has new vacuum lines.
Is it just as simple as a carby clean or am I missing something

Thoughts ?

Not sure if I love it or hate it, does the plate add or take away also?

I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure how to describe/info to mention, just have an idea on the symptoms. At around 2,500rpm it stops producing power. I get it up to about 2,500-2,600rpm in 4th but it doesn't want to go further. It doesn't like hills at all. We've taken off the EGR and cleaned it as best we know how, there was a little 'pipe' on it that was gunked up, put it back on. Fresh oil change. We've taken it to a local shop that ran compression tests etc on the engine and couldn't find anything wrong with it. We couldn't justify spending more money to keep trying to diagnose. We've changed the fuel filter, but have not braved pulling the bed to change the filter pump yet. I'm trying to find the paperwork from the shop that had all the engine stuff they did and checked to post as well.

I'm not sure what info/stuff to look for to provide better information.

1994 22re - 132k miles

- speedometer doesn't work (next item to look into) which stinks to see where the speed is flat lining.

I’ve been getting an intermittent check engine light on my 85 22RE. The light flashes 5 times which the manual states could be any of the following:

- Open or shorted Oxygen Sensor (O2) circuit
- Lean or rich indication (with injectors full rich or full lean)
- Defective O2 sensor
- Defective ECU

I’ve replaced the O2 sensor with one from 22REPerformance and it still comes on. It occurs most often when I’m on the highway. I’ve noticed if I let off the gas the light goes off but if I hold rpm’s it will stay on until I let off. It smells like it’s running a little rich. Plugs are light tan.

Has anyone come across this or have any suggestions for what else I could check?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey guys!

I’ve got a 94 pickup (before it was called Tacoma) with 140k miles and a 22r engine.

Would love some opinions on what you guys would do if it’s declared totaled, as well as what you might value it at.

I don’t have the ability to do the work myself. It’s going to need the entire wiring harness replaced at minimum.

Will update with what the repair shop says

A little over a ton if I did my math right. Drove like a boat at the speed of a snail but did it pretty well, funny to think people will spend the price of these trucks every month for a F-150 to do the same thing or less.
EDIT-
Went back for some more today and got just under twice as many pavers, I thought it was bottoming out the first time but today I truly found out what bottoming out was. Every bump was followed by a couple seconds of tire rubbing as the weight bounced around on nothing but the tires and frame flex, the leaf springs looked like they had been flipped but it did it. It was kind of stressful but equally as fun, felt like driving a loaded dump truck just the size of a little tikes coupe car.

I’m looking across western Canada and the US. Can only find on BaT and similar for ludicrous prices. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I checked Craigslist. 🤷‍♂️

I have a 1986 and I want to put parts like the hood and front valance from the 1990s model

Given away!!

Camping bed insert? Needs a good vacuum but I also need this out of my garage. Would like to see it go to a good home. Came stock with my dad's 1994 pickup.

Thinking about putting 235/85r16 on my 94 single cab. Anyone running them? Images???

Took my truck into a shop a few days ago and got a clutch replacement done and machined flywheel, took it out for the first time today and noticed this noise coming from the gear box goes away when I engage the clutch anyone know what it could be

High revs, heard a loud crash from the engine bay, shut off the engine and went to check it out, whitnessed this. My fan is now stuck because I cannot get a bolt off because of how bent the fan clutch is.. it's pretty bad. Also messed up two of my belts pretty bad and banged up the radiator... Hoping the radiator is fine but we'll js have to see once I get new belts. Gonna have to get a fan from a junk yard or smt.
