    AC compressor seize (clutch) and blown gauge fuse...

    yeah it sure does...I had never bothered to look in to the fuse labeled "GAUGE" until it popped...but it has a lot of dependent circuits. Still haven't 100% ascertained exactly what caused it to blow but apparently a heavy load on the circuit when the compressor seized.

    AC compressor seize (clutch) and blown gauge fuse...

    The Denso replacement compressor I purchased came pre-oiled. I added a bit of pag 46 to the system since I also replaced the dryer. In my case, it was an original compressor and had simply worn out and seized (as you say, likely from no lubricant - or even refrigerant).

    AC compressor seize (clutch) and blown gauge fuse...

    Thought I'd share an entertaining occurrence on a road trip I recently finished up over the weekend with my 95. Was relatively hot over the weekend travelling north on I-5 and running the air conditioning. I rarely use it and it's been fading in efficiency slowly over the years. In any case...

    Wanted  Looking for a single 315/75R16 Duratrac or similar?

    I picked up a minor sideway cut on one of my Duratracs and looking for a replacement...mine are at 50% so whatever you've got will likely work until such time I replace all 4. I'm located in PNW (Seattle area).

    I want my 80 to last forever, but...

    Sorry Beno, I'm not buying the "exotic import" argument. The reality is this vehicle will last for the long term simply because it *can* be modified. Sure, there's plenty of folks who will want to keep them 100% stock with Toyota parts (seen it with Broncos many times trying to buy all OEM -...

    I want my 80 to last forever, but...

    I'll beg to differ on this. I've been in the early bronco world for many years and I can guarantee it's as strong as it's ever been. The total sales of that model over it's 12 year run was less than 250k and the aftermarket is only growing for that iconic model. I see no reason why the 80...

    I have a front bumper and brush guard off of my '95. I have the bolts to go with these as well. $100 for both. I also have the running boards - $75. These are located in the Seattle area. Pick up would be best. Shipping is likely more than they're worth.

    97 lx450 Misfire below 2000 rpm, P0304 code

    Agreed you should check the wiring harness near the EGR for any cracked/broken connections. Also, have you checked all of your plug wires thoroughly (ie. swap wires from cylinder to cylinder)? I had an issue on mine where the internals of one plug wire degraded to where it would stumble on...

    Age of Ignition Wires

    definitely go OEM on the plug wires if you replace them. when i bought mine it had aftermarket wires. within 6 months the wire core of one wire was broken down (the conductors were fine) and failed. Don't know how long they had been on but from the exterior they looked relatively new.

    Post pics of your dog(s)with your 80!

    Here's a shot of my boy Walle in the back of the 80 recently. He just turned 2 so he's still got a bit of growin to do. He's a big boy.

    fan clutch replace - who does this crap to their 80??

    agreed. I'm reasonably confident the cooling system is fine. It'll get a system flush as well...the water pump is fairly new and I haven't had any other issues beyond that one trip. That sorry clutch was never gonna be adequate to really "engage" the fan. The new clutch is engaging just like...

    fan clutch replace - who does this crap to their 80??

    Thanks Tools...good to know. I didn't really want to put in a pusher yet but with my experience last summer, I wanted to avoid that again. We were up in the 4-7k altitudes in 90-100 degree heat doing a lot of slow speed up and down. I suspect the new clutch will work fine but I'll do some...
