So I got the Alt back from the shop, they went through it again and replaced the regulator this time. Put it back in the truck, fired it up, warning lights still on. Drove around the block, lights still on; adjusted the belt, warning lights off and stayed off. So it looks like it was a faulty...

Tin basher, whereabouts are the grounds under the dash?

Yeah, no oild leaks or change in oil level, just looks like a gauge malfunction. Going to yank the alt, and get it checked out again; hopefully its the cause of all the problems.

Not sure, how do i check? I believe the regulator is internal... I called the shop this morning, they told me to bring it in and they will bench test it. The bizarreness conitunes though... on my drive home my oil pressure guage goes dead, showing no oil pressure? Temperature doesnt move...

I'll check those things out. What is strange is the battery warning light isn't on. The brake and filter lights are on steady below 2000 rpm, then blink above 2000 RPM?

I took it to a shop and had it rebuilt. Just put a volmeter on the batteries with the engine stopped and got 12.4 v per side. Fired it up and let it run for a while then checked them with the engine running, got 12.5 per side? Checked on the alt lead and got 12.5 as well. Shouldn't it be...

My brake and filter warning lights came on the other day (85 BJ 60, 3B). They came on at low idle, then seemed to dissapear after RPM was up for a while. My thought was it was the alternator. I tried to eliminate other possible causes first; drained the sedimentor, checked vaccum, checked...

My 85 BJ 60 has been acting up lately at startup. She fires up fine then shuts down after 10-15 seconds. I hear a click coming from the passenger side fire wall and then the engine stops; i fire it up again and it runs fine. Any ideas????

Ran the stuff through the injectors; havent really noticed much of a difference except she doesnt blow smoke at startup anymore.

did you use the line before or after the fuel filter?

Ok i read the threads on this stuff and am going to try it out. I have a 3b, so how where do you run this stuff in. Some posts say to run the fuel feed and return into the bottle, some say to fill the fuel filter. Excuse my ignorance but where is the return line and do i need to run it into the...

Yeah it looks like its leaked into the booster and eaten a hole in the diaphram..... Options? New booster? Does anyone know if parts are available for the booster?

The master does not come through the firewall (it's boosted). Can fluid come through the booster and into the cab?

So im not sure if this is the right place to post, but since the truck is an 85 BJ60 - 3B it might be appropriate. I have been losing clutch fluid; top up maybe once a week. Checked for leaks and could not find any. Over the last couple of days i have noticed the clutch pedal feels different and...
