I'm not getting heat out of the vent and the needle on the gauge is hardly moving. Maybe I'll throw something in front of the radiator for the drive tomorrow. Never thought of the fan clutch... thanks, I'll look at that too.

I changed the thermostat and upper hoses the other day since it wasn't getting up to temp. After the change it worked great the first day, now I'm back to no heat. Completely drained the cooling system and re-filled, ran it till no bubbles came out then capped it. Still won't get up to temp. Did...

I gotta go with the German Shepherd. We put ours down last year and he was the best with the kids. Big enough to pull a cart or wagon with the kids (or a keg of beer) and smart enough to crap in my brother's yard next door. He also would wear saddlebags and could carry a case of beer in them...

My nephew can be contacted direct at 208-691-9563, he said he'd be willing to replace the birfield but then obviously the price goes up. Still no pics yet. It may have the 2F motor, the clutch for a 74 didn't fit so he's thinking it's the newer motor. I don't know, maybe someone in the brain...

Thought I'd give my nephew a hand, he's selling his 40. It's got a hard top, was a daily work rig, not sure what all was done to it but it's got a busted burfield(?) so it's not drivable right now. Could stand a carb rebuild too. I think he's asking $1400 as it sits. Let me know if there's...

I would add transoms above the garage door(s) or window panels in the garage doors for natural light when the door is closed. I prefer the transoms as they're high enough to keep from getting hit with toys etc, and keeps the gawkers from looking in, if that's an issue. As for radiant floor heat...

What about the windshield? Is it in good condition? I'm located between Madison and Milwaukee. Could arrange pick up possibly.

I'd be willing to trade it for an 83 emissions manual that covers the 60. For that matter, I'd trade it for a growler of Lake Louie's private reserve Scotch Ale.

I've found my old 1976 Toyota factory emissions manual, don't need it any more, it's in excellent condition, just has my name on it. Is it worth $20.00 to someone? let me know. koeher@charter.net

OK, does the power steering system use Dextron fluid or not?

I'm the new owner of an 83' 60 and the power steering pump was replaced with an aftermarket one just prior to me picking it up. With the latest cold snap here, I've noticed some PS fluid leaking from what it appears to be one of the hose clamps. The fluid was clear (like PS fluid) Do aftermarket...

I was waiting to see a write-up on this as well, mine's intermitent. Normally my wipers will clear a 4/5 swipe, then periodically they swing all the way to the edge. My temp fix was to RainX everything and often. I've found tho that RainX doesn't work with mud... maybe there's a MudX...

try reversing the belt Sometimes belts get a glaze on them that can either be lightly sanded or sometimes just reversing the belt does the trick. Cheap and easy... just like my women.

Thanks for the responses... Guess I wasn't BS'ing after all.... those Japanese think of everything! Anyone on this board driving a 76 FJ55, two tone black and white epoxy with the back windows blanked out with aluminium and a micro switch in the shifter for turning on the backup lights? Just...

I used to have a 76 FJ55 that was a real chick magnet in a rusty pig sort of way, anyhow, it had a crank that fit thru the front apron into the main pulley and was awfully handy for finding TDC. What was this for originally? I see my 60 has the same hole but I don't see the crank anywhere. I...
