chialo

Jack, Chialo is down the 2 freeway about 25 miles past Mt. Wilson.
About 7 miles past Chialo is a camp ground called Buckhorn. I think Buckhorn is the closest thing to the Sequioa's that I have neem without going there. chialo is about 6 thousand feet and Buck horn 7300.. they are so nice. Buck horn the nicest. Where is the place you talked about? is it in the mountains?...TOmmy...PS... I checked for a rear axle at 2 junk yards here in La and they both got $1200.OO FOR A USED REAR AXLE.One of the places for $1000.00 for one without the 3rd member. They said the used rims sell for $100.00 each. So a thousand for the whole 9 yards that have never been used seemed worth it for sure. after my back is better and I get it all in I will tell you how it works and how hard the whole thing was.. Bye..Tommy |

I think you lucked out. In my search for an axle kit I called National and they said that they didn't have any. You must have an in there. Do be careful installing your new axle. I had a shop do mine but they screwed the shock mount up so bad that I had to totally redo it. I was under my rig at one point when I realized that both ubolts on each side must be in place for the unit to be secure. I only had one on each side on. It freaked me out to realize that I could have easily made a mistake that could have ended my toyota rving days in a hurry and for good. Do you know what the difference was in the three different axle kits? My guess is that it is either shock mounting or gear ratio. It would be great information to know which kit should go with which rig. Do you think it would be possible to find out from your contact that information? Sorry to hear about your back, mine does the exact same thing. I'm out for 3 days every time. Nothing seems to help but I wouldn't use a heating pad if I were you. Ice is usually the best for the first few days. Michael Smith tommiez@... wrote: Jack, Chialo is down the 2 freeway about 25 miles past Mt. Wilson. |

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMichael..? the way I got to National RV was I went to their web site
and left an e mail asking for contact questions for TOyota for the recall..
someone in parts gave me a number..they ran me around with some more calls to
ultimately find out that Toyota was going to do nothing to help me. The guy at
National said they had a kit that they would sell me for 1000..? Let me get
it installed totally and make sure it works good before I check for you..I will
check.but don't want to push it incase it is any problems.. I think the
differences between the rear ends is purely a gear ratio thing. Toyota had 5
speeds..4 and automatics..I am sure they all take a different one..anyhow.. The
kit comes with all the mounting hardware..U bolts and the whole deal..it looks
as though the lower plates for the shocks are the same as the ones I took
off..so the mounting of the shocks looks the same.. I used to work in a shop
through the 80;s and it is all pretty straight foreward..that is the only reason
I tackled it in my driveway.. I just have my bad back to contend with now.. it
is hard to accept at 37 that I have so many problems with it..it used to be so
strong..anyhow..have a great day..Thomas
