    Possible Brake Booster Issue?

    I’ve been dealing with the spongy brake issue and I’m at wit’s end. I rear ended (lightly) someone last week. I stood on the brake pedal with both feet and not much happened. I just bought a Motive Power Bleeder and flushed the brakes. One thing, at idle, when I hold the brake pedal down, it...

    Trans/center diff issue in reverse

    In reverse, under load, it feels like it's losing drive, and sounds like gears disengaging. Could the transfer case not be fully engaged? This is in high range only, doesn't do it in low. Does not do it when all tires have traction. It only seems to do it when backing up and the rear tires lose...

    ICON Shocks

    I've got a small tax return burning a hole in my pocket. I need to replace my shocks. The rears are original with 213k on them and I replaced the fronts with cheapos from autozone last summer. I'm seriously contemplating ICON 2.0s. I may replace the springs with OME stock height in the near...

    Coolant not being pulled from overflow

    What would cause coolant to not be pulled from the overflow? I checked my radiator because my temp was fluctuating. It was about a quart low, but the overflow was at the correct level or maybe a little high. I topped it off and now the overflow is very high, but the radiator is a little low again.

    Injector leaking fuel from the body

    Since replacing my injectors my truck has been starting like it's running on 5 cylinders. Give it a little throttle and it clears right up, but idles with a little skip. I looked at the injectors today and at least #1 was wet. I wiggled it and it squirted fuel from the body. I'm assuming that's...

    Any harm in using HG sealer if you don't need it?

    I'm pretty sure it'll be fine, but would it do any harm? I'm getting slow bubbles in the overflow. Maybe one every two seconds. I'm thinking about putting some Blue Devil in it to see if it stops.

    Just finished my project! No change!

    So... I just replaced all six injectors, fuel filter, front cat pipe with Magnaflow, and the front O2 sensor. Not to mention new Toyota cap and rotor. New plugs and recent wires. Get this... No change! It still has a BAD stumble. Still has code P0135 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit. Bank 1...

    PHH=Not so bad.

    I just completed the PHH, coolant bypass hose, and fuel filter. Honestly, I think the fuel filter was worse that the PHH.

    How dirty is your intake?

    I took my upper intake off to replace my #6 injector(I'm replacing all six, I can't make myself replace just the one). A question for whoever has done this; how dirty were your intake runners? I know it's got 200k on it...

    Big day tomorrow

    My Magnaflow cat came in yesterday. It looks like a very nice unit. I've had the studs on the manifold end marinating in Kroil for the last week, soaking them once a day. Intake gaskets should be in tomorrow, so I'll be replacing the #6 injector and the cat tomorrow. I'm not doing all the...

    No roar from fan. Should I replace or repair?

    From what I read here on Mud, my fan should roar on startup for a short time. Mine doesn't. Should I replace the fan clutch or just replace the fluid in mine?

    The saga continues. Hit 258 degrees

    I decided to drive the cruiser to work today because it seemed to be running ok. When I started it after work, the idle was very rough. Leaving the parking lot, the skip was as bad as it has ever been. Then it smoothed out and I noticed the temperature was climbing. It didn't come down on its...

    #6 injector replacement question

    Is there any way to replace the #6 injector without removing the upper intake? Any helpful tips?

    New problem

    I thought I had my misfire issue resolved and the CEL came on again. I went and had it read and it came back faulty oxygen sensor (upstream). I replaced my replacement oxygen sensor and reset the EFI ECM. It ran fine for about an hour, then the CEL came back on, but it ran fine. Parked it for a...

    Update on my misfire

    First off, this is a 97 FZJ80. I pulled P0300 and P0306. All ignition components are relatively new. I checked the wiring harness behind the glove box, found nothing. I unwrapped the harness near the EGR and didn't find any burned or melted wires. Just for the heck of it, I pulled the plug on...

    Codes P0133, P0300, P0306

    My cruiser started idling rough and had a pretty substantial stumble. A couple weeks ago I thought I might have a bad head gasket, as it had similar symptoms and I'm slowly losing coolant, but no codes. I did the exhaust gas test with the blue liquid and no change in color. No oil milkshake and...

    Are bubbles in overflow and gurgle normal after shutdown?

    Are bubbles in overflow and gurgling after shutdown normal (97 FZJ80)?

    Losing coolant, bubbles in overflow, slightly rough idle...head gasket?

    So... I just noticed my overflow tank empty after I filled it last week. I checked the radiator and it was low too. I refilled the radiator and overflow and checked for bubbles. Definitely have them. Big bubbles. Temperature gauge stays in the middle, always has. Idle is a little "lumpy". No...

    ATF or power steering fluid?

    It appears the PO replace the ATF in the steering with what I assume is power steering fluid, because it's clear. Is there any benefit to one over the other? I'm about to replace the cooler and now is the time to flush it.

    Any downside to non OEM steering cooler?

    I just noticed my power steering cooler weeping a little. Is there any downside to using an aftermarket unit?
