Two years later and I've imported a second truck. Did things a little differently this time and wanted to add to this post. This go round I...
Anyone have a IDLE UP CONTROL "VSV,IDLE UP" 18117-50F00 ? i ordered '95160-70B00-00' which is the switch next to the VSV.
I finally got around to replacing all the vacuum hoses about a month ago and that seems to have fixed the issue. In the process I broke the end...
following - congrats on your truck!
I finally got a volt meter out last weekend to check, with lights on it drops from 14.4 to 13.6. Still plenty of juice to keep it charged, so...
I totally missed all the activity here - thanks for all the responses. I will look into the vacuum lines - good call on those. Guessing its...

Hello! I know this is a common question so I wanted to put together a reference based on the owners manual. I've spent some time with google...
Hello! I just picked up my truck (94 Carry, Lift/Dump) from the port of Savannah and I wanted to document my experience. I had a hard time...
Hello! I'm picking up my first mini truck (and first imported vehicle) at the port of Savannah on Friday. Has anyone picked up there before?...
