Hey Brownbear! Is your engine 12 or 24V? If 12V, what voltage glow plugs do you use? 12/10.5, 12/8.5, 12/6 or even 24V ?? Reason I'm asking is i just switched from a super glow system that used 6V plugs on a 12V truck to a fully manual, momentary switch system and that, of course, fried my...

Thx Freewheel. I wonder if pin layout is the same: 1- From year to year (I supppse so) 2- No matter if vehicle was equipped with Superglow or not (mine is...) Appreciate the input!

Hello all. Pre heating duration has dropped to near zero on my 12v 2H HJ47 so time has come to go to semi manual control. Not ready to move to a fully manual Wilson switch yet, I understand it is very simple to by-pass only the timer part of the "computer" which is controling glow plug...

Ok. Finally got the VIN from the seller and ran it thru toyodiy. Eradicator, running the VIN thru Japan Partner only came out with a full list of "no data" across the board. Still appreciate the help tho. Anyways, seems this baby's birthday would be in january of '92, meaning it couldn't be...

Humm

Gentlemen, Looking at acquiring an HDJ81 and need to know production date to get it registered in RHD unfriendly Quebec. Truck needs to be 25 years or older according to "made on" date. I realize this probably was discussed 1000 times on here but I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know...

Hi there. Although our blog stopped a while ago, the trip itself is going well. We are currently in northern Costa Rica. If you know of a member or just a Land Cruiser fan down here who could point us in the right direction to find cool places that are tourist free (and just free...), I would...

Well, my problem hasn't re-appeared since I tightened up that fitting and hose. So I guess we can say it is solved. Thanks for all the suggestions and support. Much appreciated. M.

Hi all. Looking for a place where I can get good maps of central america. Either paper or Garmin. Anybody has ideas? BTW, check out our new page on the blog! Thx M.

Hola senors! We are back in Mexico once again. Come and pay us a visit at our new page! M.

That's the rubber hose I'm referring to. Thx. M.

I think and hope you are right. A good friend supplied a place for me to work on the truck at a friend of his places'. I have found a semi-loose fitting at the injector #1 fuel return to the IP. Also, the rubber hose that carries the fuel from that return point to the IP was not as tight as I...

That filter (with the glass bowl) is pretty much in the same location the OEM filter would be, up above the IP, so yes, i suppose the air in there could have been there for a while. On the other hand, there is quite a bit in there so maybe a good idea to try to bleed it anyway. This is getting...

Never had it stalled so far. Never had to bleed it either... Always fired right up after one turn of the engine. It was parked for one week last week and fired up after about 3 engine revolutions. Only a bit after it has started will it begin sputtering... As I mentionned, I can see air...
