    FJ62 has been sitting for awhile - where do I start?

    Hello all, I have been off the boards for a while as work has had me away for a long while. I left my 88 FJ62 with a family member who said he loved driving it and would take care of it while I was gone. I came home for good a few weeks ago to find that the battery had been pulled, and the...

    I could use the wiper/blinker switch assembly and associated harness, if your willing to tear into the column that far, shipping to 67235. Thanks JT

    The Next Vortec Swap Thread

    My point was, if you end up rebuilding you might just as well upgrade to the McNamara gear while you are at it - can't go wrong with it...

    FJ62: Bilstein shocks with OME

    5100 series are what I am running with my 2.5 OME. I only run them on road though, as the extended articulation of the suspension is right at the limit for these. I do love the ride though. If I am headed for a trail - the OMEs go back on.

    The Next Vortec Swap Thread

    I think I would do a rebuild kit for the TC, and put a McNamara gear in there while your at it. Dont know much about the the 60 TCs as far as ratios go, so I am of no help there. Pm sent about some parts... :hhmm: I am following this one - mine is coming sooner than later, I hope!

    Rebuild vs Swap - which way to go?

    I am definately about simplicity in this, and doing more for less. This truck is going to be sharing the duty of daily driver, so the less maintenence I need to do to it down the road the better.

    Rebuild vs Swap - which way to go?

    That is awesome! I do a lot of things myself, the little stuff; knuckle rebuilds, tranny flush, OME lift, valve adjustment... What worries me about doing my own swap is the little things - the details. Engine angle, the wiring, some of the fab work. I am looking at welders now - wire feed vs...

    Rebuild vs Swap - which way to go?

    The parts a vailability is huge factor, and carries a lot of weight in my decision making. The last thing I want is to have something go wrong, or I break something and have to spend days - maybe weeks tracking down something simple like an alternator. So why a 400 or 700r as opposed to an NV4500?

    Rebuild vs Swap - which way to go?

    I have to admit, there is a bit of purist in me. I have akways wondered what the truck ran like off the showroom floor - maybe I already know! The other thought that keeps crossing my mind is a diesel...

    It's alive....ALIVE!!

    Very nice indeed! Not a bad looking little piggy either! I think this is in my future. Who did the rear bumper? I have seen that one around on the forums...

    Rebuild vs Swap - which way to go?

    This is an old arguement, I know. But my recent trip to the mountains has me thinking that something needs to change, so I am exploring my options. A call to a local engine rebuild shop put the cost of an overhaul (estimated, of course) at $2200.00. Seemed cheap to me. They have never done a...

    Installed trans cooler today.

    I like it! I think I need one. I am especially fond of the green gripper-clampy thingys, and in the event I lose both hands in a bizarre gardening accident, those are what I want them replaced with! Looks like a good clean install - nice job! Was it a huge pain, or no?

    High Idle - temp related? Timing?

    Hmmmm....so if all is functioning properly, there should be no change when turning that screw. It was definately adjusting the idle with minimal movement. Now I just need to isolate where the issue is. I checked the TPS and ISC valve per the FSM this evening, with the exception of the bench...

    High Idle - temp related? Timing?

    So, what is the flatblade screw above the TPS that I tweaked last night? Now I just feel silly! I am pulling the throttle body tonight for a good cleaning, and running ohms checks on the ICS and the TPS. Maybe i Wii find something off there....

    High Idle - temp related? Timing?

    Hello all, My 88 62 is still giving me a few fits. RIght now, as the engine warms the idle gradually increases. But when I run the A/C, the idle spikes instantly, and remains high even after the A/C is turned off. When I say high, I am talking in the 1100-1300 rpm range. Cranking down the...

    Real time oil pan help!

    With the pan being indented llike that, and part of the threads missing, it looks to me like the plug was overtightened - probably a number of times. There are a lot of band-aid fixes for this, but the best way to ensure that you wont have any more issues is to get a new (used) pan with good...

    Baffled still...again...by my idle and emissions

    So, I read my codes today - code 28 - No. 2 O2 sensor signal. With the engine running, there is exhaust escaping around the sensors where the pipes are rusted through. Awesome...
