I'm in need of info regarding 1980 HJ 45 cruiser. Are there any potential weak points I need to pay particular attention to while doing my inspection? What can I expect for fuel economy. it is a 6 cylinder diesel with I believe a 5 speed. Any other tid bits would be greatly appreciated...

Seems like in most cases you either spend the money up front on a well maintained documentable vehicle, or save money on something tired and spend the money slowly bringing it up to par. ( We all know what Cruiser parts cost) The difference is you now under it instead of wheeling or driveing...

The pressure swith on mine is just downstream of the receiver drier, which is located behind front bumper on drivers side. Have you checked the fuse and the AC relay.

Throttle cable to tight = late and harsh shift points, cable to loose = early shift, mushy and possible slip between gears

Remember that these cooling systems use a pressure cap on the radiator. When a vehicle warms pressure builds in the system normally. When the pressure exceeds the rating of the radiator cap, coolant will flow into the overflow bottle. When checking for a bad HG we are looking for the...

Thought I'd introduce myself as I may become a regular to the board.The name is Matt and I presently have a 96 LC with 51K miles. I'm thinking of selling the hanger queen and moving into the 100 series of cruisers. After driving a 99, it's evident that quietness and smoothness of ride is...

I read your post when you originally posted. Let's first try to deal with the problem your having when your truck shifts into overdrive. What you call sounding like a train. If you take the time to do what I'm telling you, you may be able to diagnose this problem. My 96 shifts into...

Is the water in the passenger compartment or in the rocker panels?
