    Second guessing my Amsoil grease choice

    I've always been partial to Lucas red and tacky, maybe it's just me, it has more of a quality feel to it if you know what I'm talking about, when you get it on your hands verses other grease. I've never had a part fail that I've used it on.... yet

    Brakes parts and upgrades

    I'v read several debates about what people use and what may or may not work. Has anyone come up with a simple parts list for the 62 mastercylinder, calipers, booster, maybe rotors? I'm not looking at spending over 500, and I'd like to get my money and time worth out of the project. Where I live...

    85 FJ60; it's beautiful. how about the price

    You said that you just had a baby, make sure you can set up a car seat properly, lap belts only in the back seat could be a problem for you. Safety first

    Got the correct TPS. Installed by FSM. And it's now drivable. I just took it around the block. I want to have my mechanic adjust the valves and the timing And probably run new exhaust pipe. On a side note I bought a Silverado with the 5.3 and auto transmission. I see now why they are so popular...

    Yes I plan to follow that procedure. They sold me the wrong tps. Side by side looking at the part that turns they are diffrent by 45 degrees and the stops are lined up in diffrent places, so completely wrong part. Maybe the correct one will be in tomorrow

    88 fj62 3fe engine issue

    The MAF is simple to check, download the FSM, all you need is a cheap ohm meter. DO NOT REMOVE THE 2 SCREWS from the power port on the MAF, Fire your mechanic. If the MAF is good check for vacuum leaks, I like an unlit small propane torch, just turn it on and slowly point it as places a leak...

    looks like you have a bad heater core, you can plug and clamp the in and out hoses at the fire wall and you wont have any heat. I expect its a fun project to change the core. take lots of pictures
