I have a 1985 Huntsman w/5 spd and only 40,000 miles which I bought from the original owner. I have a couple of questions
1) The source and cost of a true dual axel kit? If salvage, what would be a good price? Does anybody know if any companies still have the kits sent out by toyota to rv makers who are still in business?
2) I have some small leaks around the front - not at the window but shows up as a stain on the seam on the ceiling inside and down the side seams inside close to the front. It appears like the source could be under the rubber molding where the metal track is screwed on outside- any thoughts before I tear into this?
3) I put about 15,000 miles on this and now the engine has developed what is called a "piston slap" for about 5 minutes during warmup. No other problems but this ringing sound when it is first started for a few miles. Should I be worried?
Overall, what a way to go - 18-19 mpg and self contained as well!
I appreciate finding this site. Thanks in advance for the help from all you "toyota fanatics" including myself.
