SOLD -93 FZJ80 For Sale, Locked, Mild Build, Portland, OR
Crap.
I need to put my 80 up for adoption. U of O tuition just started for my son, and I haven't even had the 80 on a dirt road in 3 years. Someone needs to adopt my rig and use it as it was intended. A good home only, please, you...
I did mine much the same as summit but it's still green. I also used John Deere Blitz Black on the hood and cowl where it was peeling the clear coat as well.
Back to the tech - Check for proper functioning of the PAIR valve, It can go bad and put air in the exhaust when it's not supposed to, causing the computer to think the truck is running lean.
I'm firmly convinced Ethanol costs more mpg than the loss of energy value. I think it screws up the computer too. I can run to Boise from Portland at 12-12.5 mpg, fill with non-ethanol fuel in Boise and get 13-14 around town while there and then get 15.5 for the first tank back to Pendleton...
No, but a failed rear output shaft bearing would. You need a tow. I would suspect the rear bearing of the transfer case is gone as well as the u joints, and you are seeing the fluid run down to the lowest point on the transfer case before dripping/pouring to the ground. Just a guess.
My experience with 35 and 37 inch tires is that they are wider enough to put you on the outside edges of the wheel ruts. The truck will want to center in the ruts but cannot because it's too wide. fixing the caster will improve it but not fix it. It's one reason I like tall skinny tires.
