Thanks for answering, especially on your honeymoon. I supposed is someone married you they already knew they would share your love with Landcruisers. So sorry the maybe dumb questions but... 1. I believe this came out of the top of the steering box where the high pressure line screwed in....Can...

Ok, so I ordered the kit, the 7023 pump from Autozone and had Valley include the high and low pressure hoses. I am actually working with a guy that is a mechanic to put this in next weekend. Long story short, my rebuilt OEM still leaks even after a rebuild and I just gave up on it. Anyway, It...

one final question- when I was confused earlier in this thread, I ordered a new fuel pressure sending unit. It arrived today. Would there be ANY reason to replace the one I have in there now? Did hooking up to the wrong point on that unit have any negative impact on it or would there be any...

update- Overheating- was the cap. Drove fine after filling and burping but noticed AF coming out of the cap the next day while it sat in the sun. Anyway, one is on the way. I would have picked one up locally, but my dealer always wants over MSRP on parts. Not sure they like to sell to the...

Thanks....one more question/clarification. When you say bend the needle back, do you mean since it now sits well below "L" I would need to carefully bend it back to "L" with the engine off so get it back to normal?

thanks for the reply on this. I have a new sender coming in....are you saying I dont necessarily need to replace the sender? I did go back and hook it up right and I need to drive it around to see what the dash gauge is doing. I had driven it around a bit and even had it running for 20 minutes...

well s***....glad I ordered a new one. Thanks for posting!! Should I just leave it hooked up wrong until the new one comes in....will it hurt anything or should I hook it up right?? I expect the new one to be here in a few days?

so I had recently done several things to the 60 when I let my son borrow it and he called and it was overheating. He also noticed the oil pressure gauge showed no pressure so he pulled it over and I had AAA bring it to the house. It had been running great the day before. The oil pressure had...

thanks for noticing. I has meant to do that when I did springs, but forgot. I tend to only wheel in east Texas with this truck and it is typically soft dirt/mud, but this would def be an issue if I take it out to Big Bend. Plan to trim them up this weekend when I change the oil.

Question- there is a service bolt on top of the knuckle that can be removed so you can add grease....is this something that is done at some service interval? wonder why they wouldn't have put a zerk on the top so you could add some with a grease gun. Might be a dumb question, but would make...

I did source all of what I needed from Cruiser Outfitters. The job took way longer than expected and my daughter BF, who works at a customer car shop, did the work. It was his first time to do these and he recorded the work with his google glasses and I will post the video when done. Since he is...

Thanks....will reach out very soon....

I dont know if I need bearings, but I would assume it is best just to replace everything you can once you open her up so looking to get the most complete kit possible. I didn't think to get some of these trusted shops on the phone....I have purchased from many of them over the years. I should...

Well, I knew this day would come eventually. Started leaking gear oil on the passenger side so obviously my inner axle seal is failing so its time for a knuckle rebuild. Luckily, my daughter is dating a very talented mechanic who only works on classics and he is chomping at the bits to tackle...

you probably need to get your carburetor rebuilt. I am not a great mechanic and the guy I use was very comfortable putting a weber 38/38 on the truck and tunning it for me and I have been very happy. There are plenty of purist on the site that would love to see you send the carb to some...
