    AC compressor jammed

    A couple of weeks ago my AC belt broke, so I replaced it. All was OK but today I got a loud squealing from the belt and saw that the belt was slipping and the condensor not spinning at all. Tensioned the belt, then some more, and some more..... no better. Tried another belt and got a temporary...

    Troubleshooting Cruise Control

    Hi, a few lame questions about cruise control. Never used it until recently, I have a feeling it worked 6 months ago but is now dead. I looked in the FSM and it seems that when the "on" button is pushed in on the end of the cruise control "stick" I should get a "Cruise" light on the dash, but I...

    Is your Auto Tranny shift backlit?

    Dumb little question but the indicators next to the auto tranny shift stick are not backlit on my 80. They are on the dash however. Should they be backlit? and if so is it easy to get to the bulb to replace it? Cheers

    Performance air filter?

    Just took a performance K&N filter off my 1HD-T. The previous owner had installed it. Looked like a racecar filter, not like anything I've seen before. If you ask me the truck runs smother now, no power difference and alot quieter. Cant see that there would be a market for a change judging from...

    Scalci, what sort of coin are you looking at for the valve body kit?

    A/T overheating.

    Hmmm, after reading all this stuff it seems I should also fork out for a tranny oil cooler before I do some damage.

    A/T overheating.

    Shawn I've only had the truck <6 months. Its done 235000 kms and I have no service history because I bought it from a dealer who had traded it but its in good nick in general. I'm getting the front axle serviced next week, so I'm working thru the various items that probably need to be serviced...

    A/T overheating.

    Cheers for that, are you saying that the tranny fluid will be screwed up by overheating and no longer function correctly? Do some tranny fluids have higher operating temperature tolerances? Its a ex Jap truck (I'm in New Zealand). Same as yours I guess. No computers or electronics.

    A/T overheating.

    Was towing my boat (2 tonnes double axle trailer) long distance recently with my '92 HD-T auto. There's one very steep and long hill on the trip. Was crawling between 2nd and 3rd gear for most of the hill keeping revs at about 2200. About 2 kms from the top the A/T temp warning light came on. I...

    Blower under the dash no worky

    Yes, it has an auto botton. The blower is working and adjusts itself appropriately if iI move it from cold to hot. Its just the cooling ability that seems to cut out after 10 - 20 mins. I cleaned up the relay last night... we'll see''...it looked pretty mint..I doubt thats the problem. Its...

    More window fun....

    You need to thoroughly clean then dry lube the channels with silicone spray . The window glass needs to be bonded into the metal retainer at the base of the glass. It is a known problem esp. in the cold. Take the window and the retainer out and get some decent epoxy glue and glue those suckers...

    This really bugs me...slow electric windows !!!

    I had a problem with my '93 drivers door window motor the other day, working slow and intermittent so I took the door apart to check the motor. It is quite straightforward and you dont need to totally dismantle the door if you are prepared to poke your hands into small spaces. If you are going...

    Blower under the dash no worky

    Bumping this thread up again. I've got A/C in my 1993 that cuts out after about 10-20 mins driving. Works fine for a while then the cold air just stops and warm air starts to come thru. Its actually slightly warmer than ambient temperature air that comes thru because if I open the window or...

    Air Con controller weirdness

    Hi, I bought 1993 ex Jap 1HD-T truck about 6 months ago. When I bought it the aircon was faulty and the guy said it needed re-gassing, which he got done for me as part of the deal. The aircon works but has some strange behaviour: It intermittently stops working for no real reason. Usually its...
