Hello:

I dont know if im in the wrong forum but: :oops:

Im having some major problems with my syclone, one of their is that the tranny is like slipping on 2nd,1st gear is fine but when u shift to 2nd above 2.500 rpm the tranny like slips and like loose the gear and it rev up to 4000 then shifts (all this is when i acelerate the truck but when im cruising slow its just fine) another problem is that on the 23 i wasdriving around 60 miles then i heard a metal sound not too loud and then it shouts, it was raining and in a red light i acelerate the truck was only on 2wd causing me to slip and almost lost control :S what can caused this?
also for some reason my abs is not working and the light isnt on is there any fuse or something that i may check? and where? also for the tranny what could b the problem? where can i buy a complete rebuild kit,..also there is a MAJOR problem i live outside USA im down here in the carribean and i get parts on the internet so if u could provide me an addy ..also what injectors do u recommend? and which plug wires is the more durable..

Last one. where is located the ALDL? thanks

welcome,

how many miles on the truck....what kind of service has it seen? sounds pretty wacky...you might have a transfer case or front diff issue as well...has it been in a wreck before? there are a few tranny sources right here on this bulletin board...syty tranny's need special attention....since you're familiar with search, look for usernames waller, kwick6, or ghettosled (in no particular order)....contact them and have a phone conversation with each of them if possible....any of them can get you what you need...any other syty's in your area?

good luck,

Alright, since English isn't your native tongue I'll be nice and ignore the aforementioned slaughtering...

Anyways, this might help...

1) If you don't like use the word "like" it's like WAYYY better...
2) Get your tranny & torque converter checked out. If you're lucky it'll just be the torque converter that is bad. Worst case scenario, it might be the tranny. Be prepared to pay ~$2000 USD to fix the tranny.
3) Your ABS unit is most likely bad. Lots of trucks have screwed up ABS units (the metal box thing on your driver side just above the wheel with all the metal lines coming out of it). Either buy a functional unit or learn to stop without ABS. I, along with many others, prefer not having it at all.
4) If you have a stock truck (no modifications) then get the injectors that are made for the truck (i think 33 pound/hour). If you need some, I have a full set of 6 that I will send you for free (just pay shipping) if you want.
5) Any plug wire set you get is going to be fine. It really doesn't matter which ones you get. You're going to be changing them frequently anyways.

93ty: No no wreck before crash anything, the truck has like 43.xxx miles on it , i dindt use this truck in a long time .. down here in my country there are 2 syclone's and mine is on the best condition the other one has a toyota diesel engine so is no longer a syclone :-? ,i gonna get the truck checked completly thanks.

Mad Psi: sorry for all the laguage isssue my native language is spanish so ..

I like the option number 4..That Would be EXCELLENT since down here the injectors of this truck are near impossible to find.. yes i will pay u anything to get that from u..i really think that the Torque Converter is the problem,where is this located and which is the cheapest fix for it..thanks and check ur PM

Posiblemente es el convertidor. Se encuentra entre el motor y la transmision. Funciona similar como un clutch, pero solamento se encuentran en los vehiculos automaticos. Los frenos posiblemente no funcionan porque el sistema de a.b.s este dañado. El remedio is comprar un kit que vende tucker auto parts. Cuesta como $15.00 y es facil de instalar. Si tu camioneta solo funciona con las llantas tracesars, debes aver dañado el cardan delantero. Si se quebro, mejor quitalo y compra uno nuevo.

si eso me dijeron que quisas sea el cardan, pero me dijeron que primero revise si el aceite de la transmision tiene particulas de metal, otra cosa, hoy estaba ajustando el TV cable y ahora no quiere pasar el cambio llega a 4.000 rpm pero ahi que soltar el acelerador i volver a acelerar para que coja el otro cambio..donde puedo conseguir este cable??

HAHA!! This is the best thread ever.

The ALDL should be mounted to the plastic trim under the dash near the hood pop handle.

i just got off the phone with this guy....i'm sending him a spare DM cable that dan PPI typhoon was nice enough to send me when he made them up...
he's got quite a way to go here...says it won't shift out of third after his tv cable adjustments....also says his tv cable is shot.... :-? he needs some bed cladding, and some injectors and maybe a few other things...last night he sent me a photo of his truck and a link to his 700 hp Evo that runs 10.40's running an alky kit... i'd like to see pics of the said "diesel sy"....maybe i can talk him into doing a few photos of that one...anything he buys here just needs to be delivered to his address in miami....

(When are we gonna get to see pictures of the diesel sy? That would be different.)

there are a few bed cover's to choose from..i'll look for some links later...i'm in the market for one as well...glad your tranny is working properly now...if you can get a video w/sound of the knock, it might be best to let everyone here view it to better help diagnose your problem...i'll sure give it a shot though....don't forget to get pics or some video of the diesel sy (and a vin)...i bet that one rattles and knocks :D ...

I'm wondering if he is using a landcruiser engine? or maybe the smaller hilux 2.8. Let's see some pics. Hey. How come in one of your post there is no mistake in spelling.
