It looks like where he is bolting them on thru the grill is where the cab tilt hinge is bolted to the cab... Fairly robust there, probably as much as anywhere else on the cab...
Yes, exactly. The ground terminal board in the power panel, TB2 which all the circuitry is grounded back to, is tied to the ground test point. Its tied out to the panel edge and the grab handle bolt. Then Thru the dash and cab chassis to the ground lead behind the passenger grill down to the...
Yep, what are the gauges doing, particularly the volt meter.
you may be right, something is getting warm, perhaps the circuit board in the ECU…
if nothing happens on the dash and it is making 28V on the meter and drops to 24-26(batt voltage), hop out and immediately open the fuel cap. Does it...
There is another one up under the power panel between the ground test point in the power panel and the extreme right end of the dash assembly(over by the door hinge on my A0).
Yea the Victron appears to be an OK unit.
you already have 24v running into the cab to the X1 point in the power panel. I was mainly reusing cables the way I wired mine using the alternator 24v as a junction point. Since I was removing the polarity box to simplify things, I had them...
The excite wire is fed down from K11 once the oil pressure goes above 15 PSI and de-energizes K11.
now that 24v’s ability to do anything in the regulator once it arrives at the excite terminal relies on it being able to complete a circuit to ground…
Play = bad… IME humans can perceive ~.005” of play by hand. .005“ is outside of any DS spec I have ever seen(hinging test, ect) Especially when talking about driveshafts and pinions, felt movement = fix it NOW…
Partially operable… you will loose that system that is fed by the tank you drained. Federal motor vehicle safety standards(FMVSS) dictates that the systems be separated. They are fed with a common source(compressor, dryer, wet tank) but thru individual check valves on the service tank inputs...
I should have mentioned thats a rear handle, those have no locks and fit with only a little door skin modification and of course fabricating a back side bracket that sandwiches the door skin when bolted to the back of the handle. the front handles have locks and are ~1/2" longer. I did the...
95-04 4runner or tacoma. I have been running toyotas since mid 80’s and have never broken a handle. Currently running 5 with these vintage handles(6 if you count the LMtV) in my immediate fam without issue.
tons of these in junkyards as there are lots of these toys out there and the handles...
It depends on the truck. The A0 uses 12v to turn on the 24v ign Relay and has no 12v ign relay.
the A1 uses 24v to control the ign relays and has 12 and 24v ign relays.
I swapped my A0 ign control over to 24v control to avoid low voltage dropping the ign ckt offline during a start.
the cool...
