I agree, if your sick stay home. The power tripping control freaks in government want everyone to stay home so everyone is safe, wear a useless mask that says right on the package it does not stop viruses, now that's flippin insane ! The CDC admitted the PCR test doesn't work so how does he know...
Hot in the Pacific NW. Wiring, installed a 15K Warn winch, fuel system and now working on starting the Turbo diesel 69FJ. A side note, Toyota in their infinite wisdom must have a million different wire harness connectors and configurations. Finding the correct ones is a chore, the parts manual...
Yea, I think they used to call that the flu, but the flu was eradicated by the Covid virus, first time in history one virus cured another one, zero deaths from the flu, amazing huh ?
Well, since the winter broke I'm back @ it again. The wiring, battery box, brake lines & exhaust are the next items. Then comes final equipment install, A/C, 15K winch, interior & weather stripping.
Replace the plugs ? A spark plug fires when the ground is lost (points open) so the potential built up in the coil uses the fastest path of least resistance to ground which is through the head via the gapped spark plug. You should also check the engine ground strap/wire to the battery/frame...
what year and what color belt? Have you sprayed silicone lube into the bely actuator? I had a mud dober bee who decide to make his nest on my dump truck belt pass side. took it out cleared the mud and sprayed it with silicone spray, worked fine. One made his on the side of the carb blocking the...
Fuel filter or carb varnish would be my first guess. The crank sensor could be bad also. Which engine / trans and does it have VVT? Have you checked the timing and the advance? Does it throw any codes?
Absolutely. Go to JDM and search for crate motor or motor/trans for your model truck and the year. They have the engines with the required ECU as a package. I'm installinf a Helix Diesel in my 1969 FJ40 now. Look at the landcruiser forum here and i posted pictures in December. You will see the...
Considered swapping the engine yourself? You can upgrade to a different engine. Which engine do you have? As an example JDM has the 3UZ V8 with ECU for $1,100. Just engine no trans packages are cheap, the V8 was installed until 2007(?) mainly in Lexus. If you do a same swap it would take you...
Well, we are finally getting some springtime weather here in the Pacific Northwest. Need the temps up to the 60-70"s so I can start the paint and finish the Helix Diesel '69 FJ40. Still have to install the 15KLB Warn winch but then it's play time, I hope. Soon as the paint is done I'll update...
Is the drive shaft stock or an aftermarket? Shouldn't be any holes in the shaft & if there is, the cardboard inner damper is probably soaked in oil/sludge/road grime or if your in the north road salt deicer. IF it is rusted / salt eaten inside, it will be out of balance and ready to come unglued...
