Getting the Wheeling Fever
|
get it towed home drain the oil & change filter drain the transmission and tcase. refill with 30w to 50w oil (the cheap stuff) remove the coil wire, ground the coil to the body (prevents a shocking experience and/or fires) remove spark plugs crank starter until all water is out heavily spray wd40 in all cylinders crank again install plugs refill with cheap oil (10w something) replace coil wire make sure all fluids are up raise rear off ground start motor let idle for until warmed up shut off change oil and filter repeat last 4 steps until all water is out. last change should be a high quality oil in the spec given in your FSM.
drain diffs refill diffs start and drive the motor about 2 miles drain trans and tcase. refill as per your FSM check the diffs for any remaining water in them
in addition you may want to: remove the distributor cap and wd40 that too (let dry then reinstall the cap). pray to the toyota gods you didn't bend a rod and/or shatter a piston.
