This is the inside of the top coolant output. Is the corrosion normal for an aluminium pipe?

It was only a misfire! I met with Jonheld and he was convinced it was a misfire but I wasn’t sure because there was no dip in the tachometer needle, but he was right. I knew the rough idle was definitely from the oil in the distributor and was shocked to find the driveline issue to be related.

I forgot to mention that three years ago the alternator was replaced due to an intermittent red light on the volt meter. The alternator was replaced when it started over charging, could this have been the reason for the electrolysis or does it take years to happen?

I do not have a dual battery installed, just the stock battery, and alternator.

I use Prestone’s 50:50 premix. I drain the radiator and block and flush it with two cycles of tap water, so any tap water left in the system would be a minimal amount left in the heater cores. I don’t live or drive near the ocean, the debris on the bottom is some leaves and dust that stuck to...

I bought my 1993 Land Cruiser in 2006 with a radiator core that was disintegrating above the bottom tank. The radiator was aftermarket so I replaced it with a TRAD three row copper core from Cruiser Dan when my head gasket went a year later. About four years ago the radiator started leaking...

Yes it was.

UPDATE: I discovered that my problem is not drive line related, turned out to be a distributor filled with oil. The internal shaft seal is leaking oil in the inside of the distributor and when making right hand turns the centrifugal force was pushing the oil towards the rotor causing the...

There is a white FJ40 in The Shining, it’s the scene where Jack is walking across the parking lot of the Overlook Hotel with the hotel manager. In Jackie Brown there is a 60 series and a FJ55 in the Del Amo Mall parking lot scene where Louis shoots Melanie for teasing him for not being able to...

Currently I have my rear driveshaft removed and CDL locked so by that fact I can eliminate the VC from being the problem because the rear transfer output is locked to the front and not attached to the rear axle, or am I missing something? I noticed today that when I get that bucking in the...

Id be interested in the VC’s that you have if it is indeed my problem. Are they new or used? Thanks George

Dave thanks for the information. The viscous coupler is still in there as far as I know, I’m a third owner and it doesn’t look like anyone has been inside of it. If I remove the VC what will I be missing, I mean Toyota put it in there for a reason. Could my transfer leak from the...

A few months later and my drivetrain bucking is even worse, now it’s noticeable on all right hand turns even at low speed like turning a corner. I’ve eliminated the drive shafts as I have pulled out one at time and locked my CDL no difference at all. Could this be a dying transfer case I do...
