Hope everyone had a good Christmas and all, I was gone for the day
and when I got home it took me a while to catch up on all the toyota
messages. Glad you enjoyed the Chinook page Nate, tell dad he's a
good man not getting rid of the Chinook. As far as the 79 Sunrader,
why do you guys tempt me like that? I got too many Toyotas around
here now so I better pass or the wife will have me living in one on
the street.
At one time I had a phone number for a Toyota motorhome hotline
that they would tell you if your particular rig was effected by the
recall or not but can't find the number now. The recall was for rigs
from around 86 and earlier, Toyota started supplying the one ton
chassis in the 86 models so they all had the newer one ton axles
under them, but the recall has been over for some time now and as of
a couple years ago there were still a couple of the coach
manufacturers still standing behind the axle upgrade but not paying
the total bill as during the recall. They would supply the axle kit
but you had to pay freight and installation. I lucked out and found
one of the original kits for sale and bought it and installed it in
my 78 Odessey, not a bolt in job either, they were made for the 79
and newer chassis. My folks own a 91 Winnabago Toyota with the V6,
auto trans, 21' and they average around 13-16 MPG depending on the
terrain. Better go let this Christmas dinner digest now, have a good
one, Nolan
