Thanks, but I am going to sit this one out. I got some extractors & plan on running home & trying to get that broken fitting out of the block. That way if it doesn't work I can come up with a new game plan before I get off work.

I finally got around to hooking up my oil pressure gauge. I used the factory oil pressure sending unit hole, directlly under the oil filter. I really wanted to keep the oil dummy light on my dash functional so I ended buying a few fittings & running a T so that I could have both. Also important to note that the threads for the factory oil sending unit are 1/8" BSPT (britsh standard pipe thread) not the standard NPT that we are used to. Since the hardware that came with the gauge was NPT, adapters had to be used. running it into the T required quite a few fittings, I ordered all of them from McMaster Karr.
Here are the McMaster Karr part numbers for everything I used.
1/8" BSPT nipple

1/8" BSPT all female T fitting

1/8" BSPT male to 1/8" NPT adapter

The nipple screws into the the block where the factory sending unit was, T scres into the nipple, factory sending unit into the the T. The the 1/8" BSPT to 1/8" NPT adapter into the final leg of the T & the fitting supplied with the gauge into the NPT adapter.
I do NOT recomend using the plastic line like what came with my gauge. I fully intyend on replacing this line with copper. I am worried that the plastic line will get brittle & break, but I went ahead & used it anyways for now, will go back & replace it soon.
Remember how nice & clean my block was before? Now it is coverd in mud stains, I guess that is what wheeling will do for you.

Took the 4runner to BVORR this past weekend. Right out of the hole I had the same trans problems as last time. It just wouldn't pull. Todd brought his cousin Brent who just so happened to be a former long time Toyots & Lexus tech. I took him for a ride & he knew what the problem was right away. The detent cable was way out of adjustment, not allowing enough fluid pressure to the clutches. With a little investigating we determined that the metal crimp on end of the cable sheath had pulled way out & I was just over an inch of cable adjustment from where I was supposed to be. I need a new cable, but with a little muscle, a few bad words & a bunch of zip-ties, we had the trans working great. I am extremely grateful that Brent was there, I might have never figured that out. After that I was very happy with how the Creampuff did on the trails. The locker was awesome & really made the difference when climbing those rediculously steep hills.
