re do your tests then this time use a incondecent light bulb or test light to check the load. A corroded connection or damaged wire with only 1 stand will have 12.5v but it wont flow enough amps to make the circuit work. check for power at the...

It's a lightbulb. Is the gauge fuse good? Are you getting B+ to one side of the bulb and ground to the other? Pin 19 should be logic low when the CC switch is on.

Great work, I love the 5vz, should work fine as long as you don't want to drive 80mph+ or go up big sand dunes with it. I tow 5,000lbs with my manual 5vz tundra sometimes. It is slow but it does get the job done. What I want more then anything...

Got the engine in and temporarily wired up, she runs, but currently it's straight off the manifolds so she's louuuuud. Waiting on stuff to come in for the exhaust, and I'll get that all fabbed up and installed. Brought her out to see the sun...

I would have went with microsquirt but I did find a factory diesel trans module. This got the Tach working for me also. Its all in and shifting good. Pretty sure I'll be working with it on a different project at some point in the future. If...

To follow up if anybody ever searches for this in the future. IDL is not needed. Ive had plenty of other issues with getting the controller working but IDL circuit is no problem. its needed to tell to the computer to unlock the converter i don't...

I buy from him all the time. He's on here too.

Are you running the correct battery? Group 27F is the correct style and has the positive on the back left side. If someone used a Group 27 it would be opposite and positive would be in the front left (I think the early FJ80's were this way).

I then disassembled the rear diff and made a simple angle iron mount for the vice. The rear diff backlash spec is 0.15 - 0.20mm (w/ locker). I measured a hair over 0.18mm. The pinion preload spec is 6.1 - 8.7 in-lbf and I measured 6. I removed...

test for a cracked head first.

Sorry you are having trouble with the stealership. Here's what you do.. at around 11:00AM one day, bring a few 6foot long hoagie sandwiches to the parts guys and ask if there is anything they can recommend for you to do to help fix your family's...

check valves for the headlight washers, pretty common for those to leak. super expensive from the US dealer and cheap over seas. i don't really know why it needs a hole, vent for the tiny bit of air that is displaced when the diaphragm moves back...

there is also o-rings in the timing cover that seal oil pressure, They can leak pretty good when they're bad.

td42 is indirect injection running at a lower pressure and 1hdt is direct injection at a higher pressure. even if it fits and you make custom lines i bet it would never open the injectors.

Why would you want either of these flawed engines when you can get a third gen 4Runner (which apart from LBJs is in all ways a better vehicle than a second gen) with the near flawless 3RZ or 5VZ engines? And the left-handed configuration to suit...

Buying an 80 is the cheapest part. Sort of like a free puppy.

those bolts will need to be retightened after awhile because the rubber will relax. 5vz uses the similar bolts.

great video for IFS trucks. not everything applies to solid axle trucks.

To get more travel you want longer shocks but also springs that are designed to work longer shocks like the dobbs VT coils. if you just run the longer shocks with normal coils they will fall out at full extension. Bump stop extensions are great...

Ditto. If you really want/need confirmation find/borrow or have someone with mechanical pressure tester hook it up to the port for the oil pressure sender to check for yourself. The threads for the oil pressure port are 1/8 BSPT (not NPT) if...

That gauge position looks perfectly normal for an engine at normal operating temp.

Door jams, the big weld will get covered up with a bead of seam sealer. Cheers

409 would be preferred but i could only find 300 series stainless rods that small. works good
