My 1992 22RE Standard cab 4x4 brakes appears to be making the
wear-indicator noise.  This metallic scratchy noise disappears when I
step on the brakes.   Odometer is at 77,xxx miles.  I purchased this
vehicle used at 36,xxx miles.

Toyota pickup, 1987 2WD 22R engine.  At a stop light the brake pedal
slowly (1 min. or less) goes to the floor.  I obtained and installed a
rebuilt master cylinder and bleed the entire system.  The pedal still
sinks to the floor.  Let's assume the rebuilt replacement is OK.  I am

I have an 03 Tundra.  The "Drive" indicator light on the dashboard went out.
The Park, Reverse, 2 and L all seem fine.  Is this an indication of a
problem or should I just ignore it.  Also, if I choose to, is it an
expensive repair?

i have an 84 toyota pickup with a 22r engine (carb) dispite replacing
the piston rings and valve seals, as well as most of its gaskets and
tuning the carb it still consumes as much as 1 liter in a time of 2-4
weeks! there has to be a way of fixing it open to any sugetions exept

Aaaagh!
So my mechanic says my 1995 Cruiser with 127k miles needs a new 02

I used a Bosch part and put it in myself but since the problem

Okay, I am having some problems with my nw (used) toyota.
1982 SR5, 5-speed (swapped from a diff truck), 22R carb'd
First, the Charge and Brake light is on on the dash. Now, I know what
you're saying: "Alternator". But I am convinced this is not the case.

I have an 87 2wd truck with 227,000 miles. It's starting to sound a
little rough,reqires a longer warm-up on winter mornings.Would you
reccomend I buy a rebuilt carb or rebuild myself.Should I just remove,

I'm looking for a reliable 4x4 compact truck on a budget with enough
room to be comfortable for short $.  From what I gather, if you want a
small 4x4 truck to go many many miles while spending some time off
road, the Toyota is the way to go, followed closely by the Nissan.

Just finished my first tank with 100% stop and go short trip driving
on my Tacoma DC prerunner.
18.9 MPG.
I'm very pleased with this.

I thinking of replacing the oil pan gasket on '96 T100 2wd.  The FSM says to
apply
Seal packing: Part No. 08826-00080 or equivalent,  to the sealing surface.
What exactly is this? RTV?

new or used replacement parts. Any sugggestions?
Thanks

Is the 22RE still available in a Toyota pickup?  If not, what is the last
year that it was available?

I have an early '95 tacoma 4x4 w/ the 3.0 V-6 (3VZE) & auto trans. The
truck has a 170k miles on it and I've just blown a head gasket.
Unforntunately I had to drive about 30 hard miles (mountain trails) to
get back to civilization. I'm pretty sure I've fried the motor. It's

What the heck is the function of the ECT button on my car. When do I use it?
Is it for snow? rain? Does it do a job I should be taking advantacge of?
Also, when do I turn the OD off? I think I am supposed to turn it off in snow,
but that is all I know.
