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...

Drove my 95 hdj80 from Sudbury to Whistler BC. Left at 10:15am Friday and entered Whistler in time for lunch Sunday. Grabbed a cold beer to celebrate with my son. I then had him start the inner axle seal job on his hdj81, and buttoned her up in...

Lots of us daily our 70 series, even all winter long in the north country

an easy thing to try is a different set of wheels and tyres on the front to see what happens to the shimmy

fuseable links, probably should disconnect and check each for continuity, just because it looks good doesn't mean it's good.

If you're lucky enough to have a 14B-T (or 15B-T), you may have noticed that many 14B-T specific parts are out of production. However, there is good news. The 14B-T was adapted into a series of marine engines by Yamaha, such as the ME370. These...

Have you load test the fusible link. These will light up a test light, but not enough juice for the start circuit. Line runs from the PS battery and under the windshield washer. I assume that both batteries are fully charged and all connectors...

This is what the fusible links look like, coming right off the positive battery terminal. Test for continuity and voltage drop across the link. If you are getting good voltage to the glow plug bus bar, but the glow plugs aren't active for long...

Yotahead is a mud member and does diesel injection rebuilds etc in British Columbia. Looking at videos is that diesel or coolant? The automatic cold start device (ACSD) seems like problem. It has rubber coolant lines that run from head port to...

I am very happy with the zerostart circulating heater. If you are going to get a plug-in heater, you might as well. It was easier to install than the freeze plug heater, is more powerful at 1500 watts, and it's only $118 on Amazon. A year...

Yes we do. The longest living and toughest vehicle around. I've had the pleasure since the early 1980's.

Ah! If great when warm, then glow plugs. Thinking that I read some additional post. Still a stiff primer pump is a good sign no matter what you do. We have many, many Toyota's in our underground mines, I always tested the primer as a force of...
