    2004 GX with rough idle, surging, and misfire

    Our 2004 GX470 with 180,000 miles has suddenly started to run rough at idle and sometimes stall. I have not driven it anywhere like this, since it can barely idle. It started yesterday morning, when I started it for the first time after it had been parked for about 10 days while we were out of...

    2004 GX470 Fan Bracket Sounds

    Any tips on replacing the fan bracket? I have some crazy noises coming from the engine and my internet searches are pointing to the fan bracket. Anything else to replace while I'm in there, besides the belt?

    Ideal alignment specs for stock GX470?

    My 2004 GX has a terrible ride, and since I've already replaced most of the suspension (rear shocks and air springs; front shocks and mounts; front sway bar links; lower control arm bushings) and had no improvement, I am thinking maybe it's the alignment that's the problem? Would really like to...

    How do you replace the license plate light bulb?

    I haven't been able to find any instructions for this and I don't want to break anything. Is it accessible from outside, I assume it would be, or do you need to remove the panel inside the rear door? Thanks

    Heater core bypass

    Has anyone bypassed the heater core on the GX? I searched but didn't see any info. Now that the weather has cooled off so that I don't need the A/C, I'd like to use the vent mode and keep my windows up but even when it's 70° outside the interior gets too warm unless I turn on the A/C or open a...

    Real time help -- A750E bolt torque spec

    Edit: A750F, sorry. Hoping somebody can help me out with this this afternoon. I was changing the oil strainer for the automatic transmission and accidentally loosened the wrong bolt. Can't find the torque spec for it anywhere, it is the gold bolt in the very top left corner of this pic...

    HJ60 Throttle Position Sensor

    In the interest of adding extraneous gauges for trip logging, I am trying to add a TPS to an HJ60 and am wondering if anyone who has done this before could recommend an easy solution. I would prefer to use the Bosch 0 280 122 001 sensor, since I have several laying around. Alternatively, is...

    FJ62 springs under HJ60?

    I haven't been able to find any info on whether this would work but I'm swapping out the frame on my HJ60 with a clean FJ62 frame and would like to keep the stock FJ62 springs. The potential issue I see is that the HJ60 spring packs have much heavier overload leaves than the FJ62. Is this going...

    FJ62 frame swap, 2H and H55?

    I'm working on swapping the engine and transmission out of my HJ60 and into a FJ62 frame right now and can't find much info on where to move the crossmember. I was going to use a 3-piece crossmember and put it in the same place as the FJ60 crossmember but I'm not sure where to position it...

    Wanted: FJ60 3-piece crossmember

    I'm looking for an FJ60 3-piece crossmember for a frame swap I'm working on, putting a 2H engine and H55 transmission in a FJ62 frame. Please let me know if you have one for sale or know of one in a junkyard near Phoenix. Thanks.

    Wanted  FJ60 3 piece crossmember [Phoenix AZ]

    Shackle restoration, best way to fill pits?

    I'm swapping the frame on my HJ60 for a rust free 62 frame and I'm cleaning up as much as I can in the process. I'm working on the rear spring shackles right now and was wondering what is the best way to fill in rust pits? Here are the pits I'm talking about:

    2H injection pump diaphragm replacement

    I swapped out the injection pump diaphragm yesterday on my 2H and I've got a question about the procedure. In the FSM the diaphragm is removed as a step in the disassembly of the IP, and it says to remove the 8mm nuts. I could see why you would remove the nuts if you were pulling apart the whole...

    HJ60 oil pan removal

    Can the oil pan be removed while the truck is on the ground, or do I need to put the front up on jackstands to get the axle out of the way? When reinstalling the oil pan, there is no gasket on the late 2H, right? Just gasket sealant from what I can tell. Which one is recommended? While I...

    Old Garrett VNT25 turbo on a 2H?

    I have a Garrett VNT-25 turbo laying around from an old project and I'd like to put it to use but don't know if it would be suitable for the 2H so I'm looking for some advice. I've got an '87 5-speed HJ60 with about 270,000 km on it, and compression is good. I don't plan on running any more...

    Fan clutch rebuild question

    The fan clutch never seems to engage on my '87 HJ60. I read about rebuilding the fan clutch and I gave it a try a couple days ago, refilling it with 10k fluid. But it still doesn't engage. I think the original fluid actually seemed thicker than the 10k I put in. Should I do it over with 20k...

    HJ60 belts -- How to remove alt belt?

    I've searched and didn't see an answer anywhere for this simple question. How do you remove the alternator belt on an 87 Canadian spec HJ60? The other belts are already off. I loosened the two bolts and swung the alternator up, the belt came off the pulleys pretty easily. The problem is that I...

    2H AC bracket measurements or diagrams

    I've got a Canadian HJ60 with no factory AC, and I'm trying to install the factory system from a U.S. FJ60. I can't get the 2H AC compressor brackets, been trying for 6 months, so will be making my own. This thread gave me some great ideas but unfortunately doesn't have any measurements. Does...

    Removing frame C channel

    How do you get the channel out of a FJ62 frame? I've drilled out all the rivets and cut the weld at the front edge but the channel doesn't budge. I was sort of expecting it to just fall out. Any suggestions?
