Squash

Yes, it was tight... very tight.

Once you simplify the fuel issue which is probably a vaccum leak as suggested life should get better. I've seen people with multiple fuel filters stumped. Easy fix is to go back to and simplify your filters. You can also run a length of good hose...

54mm socket

The specs on my 1HD-FT are 362 foot pounds of torque, the hz is probably the same because it is the same part. Also used the best loctite available. My balancer originally came loose during the first 6 hours of an over 40 hour drive. Managed to...

Here's my '91 HDJ81 when I imported it, PRND32L shifter, no O/D on/off button, no ECT Power button, fully hydraulic A442F transmission.

My 88 is the same way...I find it handy as s*** for all the above reasons. I love being able to take the key out, run inside for forgotton item, all the while not turning off the truck. That's just me though...

Update: was able to remove the diaphragm from the pin and then take the two out separately. Reset the follower pin and re-assembled. 1 extra step I suppose but at least now I can service my pump. Thanks dudes

Sorry man, just re-read your post. That should come out with some tender loving....pretend it's a girlfriend.

Funny enough, Enough though i have a fj80 and a lx470, i elected my hj61 12ht high roof, to be my main long distance overland rig. Picked it up in Vancouver and did 10k kms in 23 days, through Dempster Highway, artic ocean, all the way to Toronto

1hz troop carrier. Hzj75/hzj78. You got reliability and tons of interior space. You can have kitchen and bed inside, or a roof top tent with tons of living and storage space inside.

You don't need power seats ,windows , door lock .... Just more potential troubles

None of those. 1HZ Troopy Cheers

You carry diesel....why add another fuel? My Webasto picks up fuel via a "T" just before the fuel filter, going on it's third winter without issue.

There should be an Hex nut/Allen key at the front towards the rad. Unscrew this, and carefully grab the spring and follower pin. Replace the fuel pin, then the follower and spring. This is from memory.... PS The pin is spring loaded, as such it...

I rode on OEM 33x12.5 R15 rims and there was no problem. I liked it better. Then I switched to 33x10.5 R15 on aftermarket rims. The LC rides smoother.

primer pump, fuel filter gasket and soft line to it as well as the bleed nipple itself are areas of most common air intrusion, next old rubber return line cracked or unseated and a bad water/sedimenter sounds like something didnt get tightened or...

Having done this job twice. Once one the side of the road in a snowstorm between Revelstoke and Roger's Pass with the tools I had on board....got me home 4000km away. Pull the rad, batteries and whatever. You can lock in low up against a solid...

You don't want to look like the Dodge, chev or Ford crowd. Skinny is the way to go...

Why do you need 12.5 tires? 10.5 wide looks and performs so much better.

Hello, 15x8 wheels are better for 33 in. tires. Avoid spacers. They will only cause your axle bearings to wear out faster. 33 x 12.5 tires will not only rub. They will wear out your axle bearings faster. Ask me how I know. Big and wide...

As stated spray the engine bay. All wires, plugs and dizzy. If interested try misting the engine bay on a dark night with engine running, you can normally spot random electrical sparking.

Spray every electrical connector housing, both sides, with CRC QD plastic safe contact cleaner. This includes the distributor cap.

The next 80-specific issue relates to the HF2AV transfer case. I both wanted to keep my factory driveshafts (if possible) and the viscous coupler. This meant I had to dump the 100-Series transfer case. For those facing this decision, I can...

No heat=no coolant or thermo. Top up the rad

Check that the rad and overflow are in equilibrium. If either is low you are losing coolant. This may take a few days, but tighten all clamps, white spray paint will highlight coolant leaks. Your overflow should always have some coolant, if this...
