Ya she's due for a refresh so I'll try both of those and then let you know! Thanks!

Thanks for all the help everyone, I'm still very much learning :) So I think it's definitely something with the oil pressure/sensor. When I start her, the oil pressure gauge is reading almost 0. The entire time it reads zero is when the click click happens and the engine dies. Then it jumped up...

That was my other thought - something as basic as bad oil. The battery charge could just be a coincidence and it's actually the oil pressure that's causing the on and off?

1986 HJ60 2H. She turns over and starts in the cold (15-20F), although rough, but starts first time. I replaced my superglow system last year but this winter she's been having an issue which seems related to the EDIC. After starting, she'll idle for a few seconds, then there's a couple...

Hey Everyone! Having a hell of an electrical problem with my HJ. Gone through two sets of batteries and still getting a serious imbalance problem. Tried getting all the wiring down to almost stock, but she's still wrecking my batteries. 11.6v on the low side, 12.6 on the high. I can't...

Great advice! And thank you for the manuals! Do you use any sort of heating device before you start? Block heater, coolant, etc?

Most likely I'll be in the 0-20 degree fahrenheit temps for a few months. Are you talking about a battery charger?

thanks so much! it's been a fun ride so far!!

Thanks so much for your great advice! It's really comforting reading this forum and people haven't had too rough of a time with this model in the winter. As for batteries, have two really nice Optimas in there that have been great, so that should cover that base. I just recently had a sound...

Hey Everyone! I'm new to the forum and a fairly new Land Cruiser owner! Back in June I purchase my baby, Francis, who is a gorgeous (albeit a bit rusty) 1986 HJ60. 5-speed 2H 24-volt etc... I'm going to be chasing winter full-time this season in my travel trailer and camping in below...
