You have not described any symptoms of power steering issues. Why are you running the engine with the cap off the reservoir? That just makes a mess. The power steering system self bleeds and it's a pretty simple procedure. With engine off, fill...

Might want to rethink that. https://forum.ih8mud.com/search/43180523/?q=cruiserparts&t=post&c[child_nodes]=1&c[nodes][0]=352&o=date

What year? Is this a new issue or has it been getting progressively worse? How long have you owned the vehicle?

No worries. They're sitting in my basement. Let me know if you change your mind. I'll have at least 2 of my own with me, as I'm sure one of our crew won't have one ;)

I realize I didn't word my response properly yesterday. What I meant to say was that I'd be happy to bring the 6 GCLC club UV5Rs charged and pre-programmed for your event to hand out to folks who need radios.

It’s only 1000 miles. Not that far. Check the air in the tires and drive.

LOL. LA to Denver is not "cross country". It's a whole 1100 miles. That's a short trip. Check all fluids and the air in the tires before you leave. Bring a credit card and some snacks.

Strongly disagree with this. The fan MUST provide low pressure behind the radiator to have airflow. Went through this on my 91 FJ80 with an old, tired fan clutch and on my 97. Both wouldn't stay reasonably cool at highway speeds.

Because these trucks are as aerodynamic as a brick. At highway speed, there is a wave of high pressure air in front of the truck. The fan creates low pressure behind the radiator that allows air to flow through as opposed to around. These trucks...

^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^ AISIN FCT-004 or you can pick up a modified AISIN fan clutch from one of the vendors on the forum.

Replace the fan clutch

I'm assuming your truck is a USDM vehicle. I'd be willing to bet that it doesn't exist. 99.9% of the time, the FSM is spot on. However, several items/specifications found in various FSMs are holdovers from earlier years/different markets. The...

This is what I've found so far, but I have never actually seen one on a 3FE. Still not sure if this is a real thing or some sort of holdover from earlier models. I got no hits after searching various VINs on partsouq for both FJ80s and FJ62s on...

The tachometer is fed by pulses from the igniter. It gets +12 from the GAUGE fuse and is grounded within the cluster.

When someone says “Heritage Addition” for something other than a 2021 URJ200…

Nope. No such thing **ever** from Toyota for the 80 series.

At least 3 of us from GCLC will be there, and I can bring our club Baofeng UV5R radios pre-programmed. Let me know.

Very unlikely that the ECU is at fault here. Looking through the EWD and FSM, the only reference I see for HAC is that error code. I see no pins referencing that on the ECU pinout, the ECU schematic, or anywhere else in the FSM or EWD...

It's a lightbulb. Is the gauge fuse good? Are you getting B+ to one side of the bulb and ground to the other? Pin 19 should be logic low when the CC switch is on.

My entire cooling system has been replaced including a modified blue clutch. Every part, every hose. I don't have any overheating issues but I did notice average temps dropped after reinstalling the radiator guard. Mr T designed it to help...

I looked over some things while it was warming up. It looks like there may be fluid leaking from the differential. I'll try and figure out where that is coming from exactly to see what I need to fix. I'll double-check the torque on the...

Also keep in mind that some of the basic mechanicals in the FSM goes as far back as the 1958 FJ40. This is where the "fish scale" nonsense originated. Personally, I use the 25 ft/lb inner and 47 ft/lb outer. Either way, significantly tighter than...

Please change all the belts and hoses. Rubber parts don't owe you anything more after 33 years. It will leave you stranded.

$1400 for rust bucket + -$1000 cooling system overhaul -$100 new belts -$200 new tune up kit (plugs/wires, filter. cap, rotor) -$300 new alternator -$300 new battery -$300 knuckle rebuilt -$200 new starter -$2000 all new brake system -$2000 new...

Helps with engine cooling and prevents crap from getting where it shouldn't. Don't leave home without it.
