I have an 88 FJ62, original white with the blue interior. Im having all the body work done and rust removed properly. Im set on using a urethane spray bed liner type product, the color choices are limitless. with the original white paint would it be best to stay with white being that some of the...

I've always been partial to Lucas red and tacky, maybe it's just me, it has more of a quality feel to it if you know what I'm talking about, when you get it on your hands verses other grease. I've never had a part fail that I've used it on.... yet

I'v read several debates about what people use and what may or may not work. Has anyone come up with a simple parts list for the 62 mastercylinder, calipers, booster, maybe rotors? I'm not looking at spending over 500, and I'd like to get my money and time worth out of the project. Where I live...

I have 68188-90A00 passenger side back door small window rubber

You said that you just had a baby, make sure you can set up a car seat properly, lap belts only in the back seat could be a problem for you. Safety first

Got the correct TPS. Installed by FSM. And it's now drivable. I just took it around the block. I want to have my mechanic adjust the valves and the timing And probably run new exhaust pipe. On a side note I bought a Silverado with the 5.3 and auto transmission. I see now why they are so popular...

Yes I plan to follow that procedure. They sold me the wrong tps. Side by side looking at the part that turns they are diffrent by 45 degrees and the stops are lined up in diffrent places, so completely wrong part. Maybe the correct one will be in tomorrow

Ran the codes. 41 TPS was the only code. What am I doing wrong?

OK new air flow sensor installed. I decided to do what was already repeatedlyrics recommended and ohm test the TPS. It homed out bad. New TPS installed. I didn't do the fine adjustment I just turned the key. Same thing as it had been doing, perfect start and idle at 650. But tried to drive it...

here is a video that will get you more up to speed with the flush process, It helped me greatly. this video will show you how to flush the heater core, from the color you have id say you need to do this. Get one of these kits from walmart or parts store, the T fits in a heater hose and aids in...

The MAF is simple to check, download the FSM, all you need is a cheap ohm meter. DO NOT REMOVE THE 2 SCREWS from the power port on the MAF, Fire your mechanic. If the MAF is good check for vacuum leaks, I like an unlit small propane torch, just turn it on and slowly point it as places a leak...

the best thing iv found for cutting hose nice and neat is a PVC cutting tool, cheap at harbor freight, looks like funny garden cutters, makes square clean cuts every time. id pick good locations to cut each hose and install a Prestone T on the motor side. connecting your in and out into each...

get one of these kits at walmart for 4 bucks, cut the hose and install the T with the cap, start engine and loosen cap till the air comes out, simple effective burp, also helps when doing a flush.

looks like you have a bad heater core, you can plug and clamp the in and out hoses at the fire wall and you wont have any heat. I expect its a fun project to change the core. take lots of pictures

why do the parts stores computers call for 18 inch for the rear when 12 inch blades are just about too long, or do I possibly have the wrong arm?
