in my 91 landcruiser i'm going through main relays like crazy. about 2 years ago it happened for the first time, and ever since, it happens more and more frequently. it's gotten to the point that i can't drive for 45 minutes without stalling out and having to replace it. really. i'm not kidding. the toyota parts guy can't keep them in stock for me! any ideas? other than this, the truck runs fine.

I seem to recall a couple of threads on the ih8mud 80 series board, so you might try a search. If the relay can't handle the current load, the general solution is to use the output of the problem relay to drive a second relay with a higher capacity. You would probably want to run a separate fused circuit.

I found the threads you mentioned. Very helpful. Thank you very much for the help.
Much appreciated!!
