Where is the transmission dipstick on a 1998 Eldorado?

Northstar engine huh? Look towards the drivers side below the big rubber hose from the air cleaner. You should see a red plastic screw cap. This is the transmission vent. Unscrew it. If your car has a transmission dipstick, and many northstars don't, it is built into the vent cap.

How do you replace the AC controls in the dashboard of a 1993 Toyota Pick-up?

How do you set the timing on a 1989 Toyota pickup with 22-re engine?

On the toyota, you have a little 'diagnostic' box on the left side, if you look under the hood it will tell you which terminals to short out with a wire which disengages the spark advance. I think the yota is set 5 degrees before top dead center.

Where is the transmission dipstick on a 1996 Nissan Truck?

== == if it's a manual transmission there isn't one????????/

On my '93, it is underneath the air filter. At first, I needed to pull the air cleaner off to get to it, but now that I'm more familiar with it, I can check it more quickly. On my 96 manual trans you have to remove a plug on left side of trans below vehicle. Upper plug is fill lower plug is to drain. Fill till it overflows, then it's correct level. Don't know why manual transmissions never use dipstick??? mystery to me.

How do you replace the head gasket located on a 1990 Toyota truck?

This is a fairly easy engine to replace the head gasket on, but it's very very important to make sure the surfaces are both clean and flat! 2 things you really need to invest in are a decent torque wrench (sears/crafstman has a good one for a decent price) and a haynes manual. There's a very informative writeup in the haynes.

It depends which engine the truck has. If it is the 4cyl. it is a several hour job, if it is a 6 cyl. it is twice as long, major work. No way to describe it here.

Replacing the head gasket on any vehicle is a long and complicated process, however if you wish to see basic step-by-step instructions go to the related question on the right side of the page "How do you replace a head gasket?"

Where is the starter located on a 1988 Toyota truck and what does it look like?

if ur gonna look for any starter on vehicals look for it on the trans ALWAYS between the trans and motor

AnswerWith the hood open, and looking at the front of the engine. Go to the left side of the engine and look as far down and to the back of the engine as possible. The starter is about 3 inches around, and 6 inches long. You will see one large wire and 2 smaller wires attached to it. It is mounted to the transmission housing with two bolts. The easiest way to get at it is from the underside. For safety reasons. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery before removing the starter. It hard to get at, but not hard to do yourself. A beginer should be able to remove and replace it under an hour. Good Luck! Hope it goes well. One other caution: wear something to protect your eyes from grease and dirt, that will fall on you as you remove, and reinstall it. P.S it's heavy for it's size. AnswerYou can take this one step further and replace the contacts inside the starter for under $10.00 instead of replacing the whole starter - this is easy enough for a beginner/do-it-yourselfer too because I proved it to myself.

Tip: Make sure you take the contacts to the Toyota dealer so they can match them up. I tried to do it with part numbers over the phone and only caused havoc. It's much easier if you take the contacts in and ask the parts dealer to match them up for you.

Will the frame of a 1983 Toyota pickup fit a 1987 Toyota pickup?

No, the frames are different. In 1986 Toyota went from a solid front axle design to independent front suspension. Therefore the frames are different.

Why after I replaced the thermostat on my 1993 Toyota truck 4 cylinder does it still overheat and get hot?

first of all, do you have the right thermostat? ie: winter, summer. if so i would get the radiator checked, it may be getting pluged.

How do you open the hood on a 1986 truck when the cable is broken?

There is no "Method or process" for doing this, as it depends on where the cable is broken at, and if you knew that, you could elimate everything up stream from there. I have had this problem, in the past, and all I can tell you, is sometimes you have to remove; the bumper, the grill, sometimes the A/C condenser and anything else that is in the way of getting to the latch assembly. A pair of those long ( and I mean long) needle nose pliers, can be worked into a position where they can grab the end of the cable or the latch. The hood can be opened, without destroying it, but it takes patience and persistance. Usually a few friends and a couple of 12 packs gets it done. Just think, after you win this battle, you'll have something else to eyeball, every time you open the hood...............GOOD LUCK

Where is the oil filter located on a 1988 Toyota Pickup 22R engine?

As you are looking at the engine it would be on the left side in the middle of the block under the intake manifold . There maybe a small panel in the leftside fender well that has 3 or 4 10mm bolts that will allow easier access. Good Luck and Remember.

Why does your 1992 Toyota Pickup 2wd 4-cylinder with 89600 miles pop out of gear 2nd 4th?

I encountered this problem after a clutch job. It is possible that the rubber boot that goes around the shift lever has come off the top of the transmission. You can get to it fairly easily from underneath. Pull it back down over the flange where the shift lever enters the transmission.

How do you get the tail light lens off a 1996 Toyota Camry to change the tail light bulb?

The lens doesn't come off. Take the tail light assembly off and take the bulbs out of the rear. Here's how to remove a 1995 or 1996 Camry sedan's tail light assembly in order to replace a bulb. (Toyota makes this pretty complicated for this model.)

1) Detach the carpet from the trunk. Do this by removing the black pastic connectors that attach the carpet above where the tail light assembly is located. Place your thumbs behind the carpet and work the connectors out of the trunk by pushing and wiggling them. This is awkward and requires a good deal of force and patience.

2) Remove two nuts which attach the tail light assembly to the back of the car. Push the bolts through the sheet metal. (Sometimes the gasket on the tail light assembly sticks a little, but you should not need to apply nearly as much pressure as you did for the carpet connectors.)

3) Undo the two snaps which attach the tail light assembly to the side of the car. You can't see these snaps, so here's a description: Protruding from the tail light assembly are two metal pins. Attached to the car are two plastic sleeves which accept these pins. When you look under the carpet in the trunk, you can see the sleeves. The top one you can see in its entirety (eg: if it were transparent, you would be able to see the pin nestled inside of it.) However, the bottom one is of a different design; the only visible portion is merely an arm which juts out at a right angle to the sleeve in order to help anchor the sleeve. Undo the snaps by pulling the tail light assembly away from the side of the car (eg: in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the car would normally travel). Do this by grasping the tail light assembly with both hands and rocking it as you pull. These snaps can be very stubborn; I had to pull so hard that I was concerned the tail light assembly might break. Part of the difficulty is that the bottom pin tends to rust, which gives it a rough surface, which prevents it from sliding easily through the plastic sleeve. Once the tail light assembly has been worked out far enough to see behind it, I find it helps to insert a flat-head screwdriver and twist it to pry out the bottom pin. Once the assembly has been removed, you may want to smooth out any rusted pins with a metal brush and then put grease on them. The grease both lubricates and prevents future rust, thus making life easier the next time you need to remove the tail light assembly. Be aware that most lubricants, including most greases, tend to break down plastics slightly. However, this is the lesser of two evils; the scouring action of the rust would damage the plastic even more than the grease. If the pin is not rusted you may wish to leave it dry so as to protect the plastic.

4) Change the bulbs. They are accessible from the back of the tail light assembly. Removal is the same as for any automotive bulb. Twist the gray plastic socket to unlock it, then remove it from the tail light assembly. To unlock the bulb from the socket, push the bulb in and then twist it.

From a grateful reader: I used this method and it works, but I was able to get the assembly unstuck by spraying WD-40 on the white plastic sleeve of the top pin from inside the trunk. It immediately came free.
