Let me start out by saying, i've never been a truck guy, always into the import car sceen.. have my own custom car shop, website, forum....etc I was looking for sommething to drive this winter, something 4x4 cuz i live out in the sticks and the winters here are pretty bad, when i saw a 1991 toyota 5 speed 4cyl on the net for sale. I went to check it out and I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT, yeah it may sound silly, but i did... The truck seems to need alot of work, does have some rust issues and maybe motor or tranny issues? Like i said, i've never owned a truck, so i don't know much about them or what to look for that may need fixing. I did the basic, plugs, oil change, plug wires, new battery...etc What i have noticed and the issues that i'm unsure about are

1) When i'm driving up a hill, sometimes the truck makes a noise almost like i'm dragging something, nothing to loud, but it's noticeable, seems to do it more in some gears then others, but 90% of the time it only does it when i'm going up a hill

2) The speedometer don't work, i have no idea how to go about fixing it or where to even look to see if i can fix it

3) When i first start it, it runs idles fine, but after i'm driving it and i stop at a red light, it idles up and down, almost like i'm tapping on a gas a bit?

Any help with these issues would be great! Thank you very much, Bruce
