    1993 FZJ80 Cummins 5.9 12v Swap

    Any luck getting it sorted? I have the HGM a442 controller so its different but, in diagnostic mode it acts like you describe, just a thought as I have no experience with the microsquirt. I ended up getting the dakota digital tach hooked up to the alternator after the first one failed. It runs a...

    True and it's just an airbox, easy enough to make up something else

    Backhoe vs ARB/LC80

    That looks like a cat420 to me and should way close to 17000 pounds. The way he reacts, makes me think he knows he hit the cruiser. The way he pauses seems like he's looking for damage, but from the cab he'd never see that little dent, maybe he figures he didn't hit it. I've seen the damage...

    that unused sensor if I remember right is a 1 1/16", 1/4" npt. it's a pain with a wrench or you'll need a really deep socket and it's much easier from the wheel well with a bunch of extensions. The best way is to break off the plastic sensor part just above the formed metal, then a regular...

So we continued the trip doing another 3000 miles. I pulled some oil and sent it off for analysis for peace of mind and it...
