    I am trying to find a thermostat for my BJ73 with VM588 5 cyl diesel. Spector could not help. Googled a lot with no luck tried Detroit Diesel in Florida (VM parts USA) and they did not list 588. Anyone know of a parts source for USA.

    None of them are failed, all have same resistance. Did a glow with all removed and hooked up to bar. All are glowing properly. But if in at the shorter depth may not be warming the precombustion chamber properly. At that time I forgot to check to see how deep the threads were before the...

    What Did You Do To Your Diesel Today (WDYDTYDT)

    I took my turboed B on a pheasant hunt in Iowa yesterday. The FJ40 was a little squirrely to drive in the wind. I have new shocks coming, the old ones look to be leaking.

    Is a 1987 LJ73 with 2L-T and 5 Speed manual a good landcruiser to buy.

    Thanks for the information, I'm thinking of using it as daily driver and normally run 70 mph or less. Some hunting and fishing trips and cat hunting in winter. How are the heaters compared to FJ40s? My FJ40 with 3B-T and 5 speed handles it well unless 90 degree or 0 degree day. It has little to...

    Is a 1987 LJ73 with 2L-T and 5 Speed manual a good landcruiser to buy.

    I own several landcruisers and always liked the look of the 70 series. I am shopping for diesel and manual transmission. Are there ones to avoid.
