    97 LX450 Antenna buttons - Partially work

    Hey all, This weekend I followed some instructions here on how to remove my antenna motor and replace the white grooved mast. I had assumed it was broken like so many others because it would inconsistently go up and down and the internal buttons only made it move small amounts at a time. Upon...

    Drive belt replacement procedure

    Started on the process of replacing my drive belt on my 2b today. First I can't find the procedure in the FSM I must be blind. Secondly, I removed the bolt on the alternator adjustment bracket but must be missing something because I can't get the thing to move to the right to remove the belt...

    Injectors and V-belt Questions BJ41

    Hey All, Recently removed my injectors to have tested from my 1981 BJ41. Noticed some white corrosion of some type on the injectors but most significantly on #3. Any idea what this is or what causes it? Second question is around the v-belt. I purchased a new one part #99343-01195 which...

    2B Diagnosis Questions

    Hey Everyone. Before my BJ41, I have never owned an old diesel so therefore some of the behavior I am seeing could be completely par for the course in an old diesel like this. Mileage is reflected as 75000 KM but who really knows the history. Compression(hot): 1: 480 2: 500 3: 440 4: 440 I...

    Smoke in headlights

    Hi All, As I have never owned a diesel especially an older diesel before my bj41 I was wondering if it is normal to see clouds of smoke in vehicle headlights behind you when driving at night? I don't feel like I see that smoke/haze during the day. It has me worried but I read in some other...

    Advise or Recommendations on making Inspection Pipe?

    I havent seen anything on the boards about how to make your own fuel inspection pipe to adjust timing as per the FSM. I do not have an extra injection line to cut.

    Hi All, I am in search of a new radiator for my 2B (2/81) (lots of seep holes and cracking). I found a new aftermarket steel model in Australia that matches my inlet and outlet locations but it is made for a 3B. The core measurements are 494mm X 435mm. Does anyone know if the sizes of the 2B...

    New copper coolant lines?

    Hi All, This past weekend I removed my rear heater so I can put in a new console. I need to put in some new coolant lines that go only to the front heater and back out. Can I just get some copper piping and sweat them together? Is there anything more complicated than that? Thanks! Chris

    I have no turbo and no plans at the moment to get one. I purchased an ISSPRO pyrometer and am planning my install. I read that most folks drill a hold in the manifold between the second and third cylinders. I noticed that I have a space where my manifold connects to my exhaust that could be...

    Ambi or Barn Doors?

    I did some searches but could not find anything definitive. I was surprised to find a 1980 BJ41 brochure that shows the hardtop model having barn doors and the hatch. This surprised me as I always thought that the ambi doors started in the late 70s. My 1981(Feb 81) has barn doors but I do...

    Head Gasket?

    Oil in my coolant reservoir. I am guessing this means bad head gasket? BJ41 with 2B engine. The rig doesn't smoke at start up, isn't loosing oil, some occasional white smoke when pressing on accelerator, dipstick doesn't appear to have any coolant mixed. Dream truck turning into nightmare...

    Oscillating vibration at idle(2B)

    Hi Everyone, When my BJ41 is at idle I have been getting an oscillating noise and vibration that seems to be coming from the belt/alternator/fan area. Nothing appears to be loose and it stops when I idle the engine up. Any thoughts or specific items to check? Thanks! Chris
