My Tcase went out a few months ago and i finally pulled the trigger on a salvage replacement. Job seemed simple enough to do myself, felt like everything lined up perfectly and didnt anticipate any issues. However once i got everything put together i have no power and gears are grinding going...
Hey everyone, my name is Matt, and I'm a Land Cruiser-aholic. Now, with the introduction out of the way, I have a request for anyone out there who has an awesome looking overlander in Utah. The company I work for (Davidson Defense in Orem, UT) is wanting to do a lifestyle photo shoot with an...
I'll play devil's advocate on the body mount question. I run 33s on stock coils and new stock shocks. I have a 1" body lift, no flares, and 10.5" wide skinny tires. It doesn't rub anywhere under full flex. I am planning on going with the dual rate OME stock height springs soon.
I think he meant 80mil and 150mil (millionths of an inch, rather than millimeters). That's about what I used. I used Noico products. I covered the following areas with a layer of butyl, then a layer of closed cell foam: wheel wells, floors, entire inside firewall, and the inside of all doors. I...
Looks like the replacement is a 90 amp unit. The external cooling fan on the old one is indicative of an 80 amp unit. You have a few options. You can grind/modify the 90 amp unit on one of the mounting ears to make it fit (this is what I did). You can order the OEM motor mount that is designed...
I figured I'd eventually need to put those back in. I just really wasn't looking forward to buying new seals and doing the job again. I was just thrown by the fact that it ONLY happens when it's below freezing outside. Once the truck is warm, there are no issues at all with the steering. Well...
First some background. I have had a power steering gear box leak on my '91 3FE for quite a while. It got bad enough that I finally decided to rebuild the steering gear box to fix the leak. After I finished the rebuild and filled the system with new ATF (Dex3) I started to have a weird issue...
I'm also curious. I ruined my original blower motor trying to disassemble it. I ordered a used one from ebay and it is SO noisy. I am hoping there is a decent solution because it is annoyingly noisy now.
I sometimes wonder if people don't update threads like this because the fix ends up being so embarrassingly simple. Well, for the sake of posterity and anyone else with a similar issue, here was my answer. I pulled the dash apart a little bit to trace wires, and I noticed the wire colors going...
Take lots of pictures! I'm going down this road come springtime. I already have all of Broski's pictures of the process saved. Any tips, tricks, or gotchas would be great (i.e. what welder and settings you end up using). Good stuff!
I think I have tracked the problem down to the IH1 harness. I have checked the plugs, grounds, & wiring in the left side kick panel and nothing seems amiss. However, there is also wiring in the circuit (all the wires that go to or come from the CDL actuator motor, actually) that goes through the...
I stand corrected. Somehow I had a nagging feeling that what I wrote wasn't quite right. I mistook the manual locking capability in lo for hi. My mistake. Nonetheless, the Pin 7 mod was completed and the sensor on the tcase remains plugged in.
