Great video, this has helped me. I'm having an issue now involving my sensor that triggers the rear most dome lamp and the "door ajar" warning light. I have identified the sensor that turns the light near the sliding door step area but apparently thats not the same sensor as the dome lamp and warning light are still on. I haven't found any other sensors to consider. Any ideas?

you are amazing! so inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I’ve only started to look at your videos. Are you still messing with crusty.? I just bought one and would love to get some tips. I know about Toyota van tech. I like to learn hands on

❤❤❤❤ love

Their album really turned out awesome!

At the point where you are unplugging the main harness to get the climate control out, there is a lonely green wire with a connector on it. Where does that lonely guy go?

were you able to source new upper control arms for the rear? if so- please share! Love the multi angles and editing!

I got a question - looks like while you were doing the rear end of crusty (great job btw!) looks like you had brand new link rod ends- where does one find these and what’s the part number ?

Stumbled upon your channel last week. Worked out fantastic because my Son and I just purchased a 1989 LE a few days ago. While driving home I pushed it a little too hard up the Grapevine on California I-5 and blew that forbidden hose. Instead of cutting the firewall, I’m going to remove the intake manifold to get to that line, and also replace everything else. What size hoses will I need to purchase? I’d like to have everything purchased and ready before I tackle this.

Thanks for your awesome vdeos! Ijust joined the toyota van tec group. I just bought an 88 4x4 jdm van, and I need to do a lift and suspension job first, so these three chapters of your Crusty lift were super encouraging! Just got a question, on your test drive you noticed the bushings were not felxi enough... so should I not order the parts numbers you recommended in this video? Do you have an updated parts number for those bushings? Thanks again from northern BC!

Hoping my van coil went out and not the igniter

I'm not quite mechanic but I just replaced my TV water pump thenks to this video. No more licks. Thank you sir!!!

I am in Japan and found a beautiful 1988 Toyota Townace Super Extra 4x4. I'm about to start a clutch refresh and rear main seal replacement. These videos have been great preparing me for the job! I noticed that you scraped off some RTV from the bottom of the rear main seal housing but didn't put any new RTV on it. Did you have any issues as a result? It seems like that rear main seal housing and oil pan mating surface would be susceptible to leaking oil without a new bead of RTV. I'm trying to make sure I have everything I need before I get into the job. Thanks!

is there a way that you can manually move the window up until you can get the right part?

Mine alternator is a strain to come out

Thanks for posting this. "Chinatown" is one of the soundtracks of my life. In the mid-90s, I made the decision to move to Seoul, South Korea and a friend gave me a copy of "Penthouse" on CD as a parting gift. Turns out, I lived in a penthouse-like apartment in a high-rise building right in downtown Seoul. It was the first place I ever had on my own. I had never been to East Asia before and "Penthouse" esp. "Chinatown" resonated with me to a degree that is hard to explain: the sense of feeling lost in an alien world but being drawn to it nonetheless. "You're out all night / chasing girlies" "Rushing round in taxi cabs" - I had never taken a taxi before living in Seoul. It was a time in my life full of late nights and booze, taxis, a world I felt a bit lost in, but so rewarding. I'd listen to "Penthouse" riding on buses and subways and hearing it now always happily brings me back to those days. God bless Luna.

I just got and 88 LE 4cyl toyota van, I'm trying to find the fuse box ?

Hi Aaron. This video has been hanging around in the back of my mind ever since I saw it. Did you wind up installing the sheet metal on Crusty? Love your work 🙂

I wonder if I could find the speedometer cable for my 1989 Toyota van le.

My mouth watering now my old stomping grounds that’s one first things I like flo kitchen

I just bought an 88' that will turn over good, but won't spark. Your channel here is so good dude. I'm betting I have the same problem. I already ordered a coil & will be swapping it out soon. Thanks for the video 👏

do u know how to fix the outside latch if it doesn’t open the door

I have a 1988 Toyovan, which I have had for over 10 years, and I love it! Unfortunately, I hit a big pothole, in Atlanta, the other day, and something shorted out. I replaced the fusible link, and everything works, now, except it turns over great, but won't start. (It alwayts starts very quickly.) Anyway, no one in the Atlanta are will even look at the van. Frustrating! I am open to any suggestions from any you or any of your viewers. Good luck with your new van!

Thanks for this. I was happy to find this video to see what's involved in removing the engine service hole cover! (That’s what they call it in the service manual!) I was surprised that I needed to do this to remove the distributor cap! Wasn't that bad. And I was able to leave all the cables attached since I only needed to slide the cover a few inches to gain the access I needed.

Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work to the Toyota mini van.👍👌

just took apart my vans dash to clean up some wiring from previous owner and found that my spider was broken 😞

I need some parts I need a sunroof glass

Hey man I’m looking for parts for 1985 Toyota van any ideas?

Muy buena compra amigo están muy enteros esos asientos yo tambien conseguí unos asientos giratorios para la mía, solo que eran de una toyota previa como la qué manejas en este video, saludos desde Costa Rica amigo...

Hey grae i have an 84 EFI 3ye, van i think i might need a computer any idea where i could get a hold of one , great videos.

Used your reference to do temp gauge and ignition coil, now I'll be dropping an alt in my '88 tomorrow, thanks again.

where did you get the coil packs?

Buenos videos yo tengo una en Colima México modelo 1985 muy buena camioneta la mía es una efi

Really good to see you back! I hope this means the drought is over? Excellent video as usual. The passenger window on my 88 4x4 Van does not work, so I will be taking this on soon thanks to your video. BTW - The window motors are available on Amazon for about $60 because Toyota used those motors in other models - Cardone 47-1103 Remanufactured Power Window Lift Motor (Renewed). One last comment, not that you would want it to happen, but simple repairs to ABS is really easy now. Remember the Q-Bond product you purchased to repair your spider??? - that's what you would use. Cheers!

I washed and lubricated the mechanism on my car. Works easier and smoother.

Happy to see a new Van Wagon video 🙂 allways learing knew things for my 85 LE. 😄Your videos are highly informational to the Toyota Van Wagon Community Thank you for what you do!!!!!🙂

Great video I have spacecruiser always learn something from your great posts

I loved The video! It's always something new to learn and super helpful when you post, my tarago is a base model with the wind ups but I'm sure if I ever have to replace my mechanism I'll definitely come back to this video

Thanks for your informative vids, I just completed the coil swap. Avoided breaking the terminals on tightening thanks to you. (Plastic dust cover did snap upon removal, got a new one plus distro cap gasket on the way.) Oh and I used your thermostat and housing video to success a couple years ago. I'm definitely the type who needs visual aids.

Thank you for such an informative DIY HOW-TO video. Very easy to watch and understand. I try to do my own repairs on my yota van. And it wasn't easy diagnosing the problem this time, I probably bled my brakes a half dozen times each time thinking I was good only to have the pedal push all the way to the floor while I still continued to roll. The confusing part was that I could get the brakes to grab if I applied them hard and fast but when I applied them slow and steady the pedal would just sink to the floor and not even slow me down. Thankfully my e-brake still functioned well and was a literal life saver. But enough about that. Now I need to order the master cylinder and get ready to tear out my dash. Thanks again. I look forward to checking out any more "crusty the van" videos

Me personally if i didnt have another coil like your situation id just solder a wire to the broken stud then connect the wire with a plug or solder and heat shrink it.

Please don’t delete this video I just took my whole dash apart and will need this to put it back together 😂 Extremely helpful mate thank you!

Qué buen trabajo Me encantan las camionetas Toyota van primeramente Dios voy a comprar uno😊 cuándo llegó en mi país

Great videos. Do you know the part no. for the rear upper coil spring insulator. I have trouble with this parts. Thanks

Hey is there anyway you could measure the windshield on your truck for me? Mine broke and I am having trouble finding one.

Thank you for your video. I was able to do the alternator on my van myself! Thank you very much.

what were the sizes of the hoses ?

This is the only video on TH-cam that shows me what I need to see. Mine is a 97 T100 HVAC control, but still manual controls. At least now I have an idea of what I'm needing to do. Thanks for posting this!!

Hi, do you have any videos of how do you replace freeze plug? 1988 toyota miniva LE
