1988 4WD Toyota Pickup 200,000 Mile Zero to Top Speed Run
My 1988 4WD Toyota Pickup just clicked 200000 miles on the odometer. I thought I'd celebrate by doing a zero to top speed run. The truck is stock except for ...
I could hit 100mph down a hill or with a strong tailwind. The 90mph is
where my pickup tops out at on flat ground without wind. I don't really
care how fast it goes, or how long it takes to accelerate. It's a pickup.
My car is much quicker. As long as it gets me and my cargo from point A to
point B, it did its job. It has always had enough power for what I use it
for. I had over 3,000 lbs of sandbags in the bed and although first gear
felt like second, it did the job. It can also pull trailers.
In town I average 18-20mpg in the summer. Winter is a little worse. I don't
do a whole lot of highway driving, but from what I noticed I get about
22mpg trying to maintain 75mph on interstate. If I drive 60-65, I can get
around 25mpg. If I drive closer to 50mph and use hypermiler techniques
(such as loose speed going up hills and gain it back going back down and
have my speed very between 45-55mph) I can get up to 30mpg (best was 33)
but it sucks driving like that. Pretty good for a 4wd pickup.
Wow, over 10,000 views to watch an old Toyota Pickup struggle to hit 90mph,
never saw that coming. When it rolled 200,000 miles, I thought I'd make an
acceleration video, just for myself but decided to upload it for the hell
of it. Perhaps I could do another at 300,000 miles. It now has about
208,000 miles, so it'll be a while, but I sure hope I have the pickup till
then. Last year I replaced the bed and repainted the whole truck, so it
looks as good as it runs and drives.
@haasdch I held the camera with my left hand while holding the steering
wheel as well. My right hand stayed on the shifter till I shifted into
fourth, then I held the camera with my right hand. I wasn't really sure how
it would work out as I was watching the speedometer to know when to shift.
Since this truck doesn't have a tach, I go by the speed in each gear. The
owners manual says you can do like 28mph in first, 47mph in second, 75mph
in third and 99 mph in fourth.
90 mph?!?!?! Is that's all you got? I guess you need performance parts add
on. I from VA but I usually travel from Rochester, NY to Norfolk, VA on
interstate. On Interstate 390, I've managed to get my 94' Toyota Pickup to
hit 99 mph @ 3,600 rpm, 140,250 miles. My truck have 22R-E 2.4L Inline 4
with 33'' tires, Pace Setter exhaust, and K&N Air Filter (stock). I bought
high performance air filter kit online. It arrive this week. I hope it hit
over 100mph.
Kill it as in turn it off when going down a hill or coming to a stop, no I
don't. I don't care much about gas mileage really, I don't enjoy driving
much when I do. If the engine is warmed up, I usually drive kinda
aggressive and accelerate faster then the average person does. In reality,
I typically get 15-18 in town. I'll get 18-20 if I drive like a normal
person would.
My 22RE will hit 90 to 100 mph with my 31s on there but I have .30 over
bore, ARP con rod bolts, pace setter header, catless, K&N filter, and a
centerforce stage 2 clutch. But I am lucky if I ever get more than 18mpg.
Oh well, that isn't their strong suit.
I actually managed to get my bone stock 94' 2wd 22re up to 119mph on a VERY
slight decline. Verified with GPS. 165,000 miles. It was still
accelerating, but the RPM's were crazy, and it started to sway. Scared the
crap out of me!
As if a 30 year old 4x4 that still runs, knocks down 20mpg, and nudges a
ton isnt amazing? Reading over the comments here is like being trapped in
the same room with a bunch of old women gossiping about a whore.
Nice, I have a 89 with 170k 22re 5 speed standard cab 4x4. It might be
painfully slow, but its great on gas (for a truck) and never fails to get
me anywhere, gotta love the old toyotas
my '94 yota 4x4 22re is on 31's, and i've never broken 75, pushing 3250
rpm. I've never even broken 4000 rpm. it has 184xxx miles right now. and I
limiting my truck's power?
33's on the stock 4.10 gears sounds like it would suuuck in the
acceleration department... Try going back to 29's, you'd most likely go
straight past 100

SuperBrightLEDs Dashboard/climate control swap on 85-89 pickups & 4runners Part 1
Step by step video on how to swap out your old odometer/climate control lights and install the new SuperBrightLED's product Using the 194 and 74 bulbs.
I also noticed your cables had way more slack. I could barely reach behind
and had to look down through windshield to see what I was doing. I would
have been hours without your video. Thanks again.
My cables aren't too bad. It's the speedometer cable that's a pain to take off. Im glad my video helped you. This was one of the first things I ever did to my truck and if you ever get around to reading through my yotatech.com page you will see I was really really new to all of this stuff. I had never worked on any vehicle and I found it extremely hard to do things on my own without the help of the forum. So I wanted to make tis video to help out others who were in my situation. Plus there was no video showing how to do this. So I figured this would be much better for people to understand.
Thanks for posting. It made it way easier to do my '85 Toy. I did it
today, and it went pretty smooth. Less than an hour. It's a bitch
reaching that speedo cable. It was also -10 degrees out, so it was a bit
chilly. I just did the big bulbs since the little ones are on back order.
I'll have to pull the cluster again when they arrive.
The big size bulbs are standard plug in type automotive bulbs. Size 194. I think there are a total of six. There are also five or six small ones that are size 74 I believe. Regular bulbs are super cheap. LED bulbs generally need to be ordered (I never saw them in stores) and they are expensive.You can get regular bulbs at NAPA or just about any store with auto parts. I got mine at Fred Meyers.I had converted to L.E.D. but I bought some cheap brand and several didn't last. They also claimed that you could use the dimmer and I couldn't it was full on or nothing with mine.I ended up switching back to standard bulbs. The Blue L.E.D. looked cool, but was causing me grief and they were too bright at night.The exact number will depend on your dash. Toyota put different gauges and idiot lights in different trim models. They used the same dash so there will a lot of unused light sockets.I also took my dash in and out 8 times trying to get it all right. Major hassle unless you have hands the size of an 8 year old girl. There is no slack in the speedometer line and it's really hard to get a hand in there to hook it up if you have very big hands. I still have the scars on the back of my hand to prove it.This video was helpful in figuring out how to get the dash out and change the bulbs. Mine all started with a burned out 4WD indicator light. Now I'm back to everything working with regular bulbs. If you're pulling the dash, you may as well replace them all on a 30 year old truck. You could do them all for about $20 if you use regular bulbs. If you don't want to buy extra, pull the dash and see how many sockets actually have bulbs. Mine had 4-5 that weren't used since my dash has mostly gauges and very few "idiot" lights. Good Luck.
+Martin Riggs What type of lights and how many did you need? I have an 85 Toy I need to replace the cluster lights on, but I'd rather not pull it out and try and look for part numbers
