My BJ60 would make it. That 3B has never let me down. It may take a herculean effort, but I wanted to scope a more local possibility first.

It’s high time I give back to the truck that’s taken me around the world. Can anyone recommend a great diesel mechanic in southern Utah? I’d drive to Salt Lake if that were my only option, but it seems diesels are prevalent here. I would just prefer someone who knew a BJ60, and or a 3B. If I...

Has anyone had success at adding an additional (second) inline fuel filter, prior to the injection system and factory canister filter? If so, what brand/kind? I'd like to add one that was clear, or had a view port, but had doubts about the pressures involved. I have a standard 3B and anything...

Does anyone have experience removing broken 4 mm screws from the fuel tank 'lock ring'? Specifically, I have a 60 series, 77001-60241 fuel tank with two of the 4mm screw heads missing from the mounting ring where the suction/supply tube gets installed. It gets tricky because the threaded holes...

Cheers, Yes, that is the line georgebj60. I've had all the bolts sprayed with Parts Blaster for many moons now, in preparation. But geez, that line runs all over the place. This is my daily driver/work truck as well samwise, so it's good to hear you haven't any troubles without it connected...

I dropped the tank on an '85 BJ60 to replace a cracked fuel suction tube. Possibly my least favorite job to date. While the tank is out, I want to replace old and rusty with the cleanest parts I can find. There is an evaporation line, 77244-60140 fuel emission tube#3, back there, and if I'm...

Thanks Rosco, A dash disassemble is long overdue. I've other gremlins to tackle back there, so I'll check the earth connection(s).

Has anyone had a temperature gauge that, for now, inaccurately went past H, and at the same time a fuel gauge that went off the chart while driving? No rhyme or reason that I can gather. The gauges, depending on their mood, may stay there for a long, long while, and at other times may drop back...

I can't say enough good things about JT's Part and Accessories. Carl Montoya walked me through different products and shipped me a 3.7 differential replacement in a heartbeat. I'm back on the road. I am grateful for the JT's ad on the forum homepage.

I absolutely will. Did you have to replace the 3rd member only? I'm hunting down components now but I'll occasionally have 3 a.m. nightmares about possible damage to the transfer case, etc.. Thanks again.

Hi Gang, I don't believe this a strictly 3B diesel problem, but since the truck is a BJ60, I'll start here. My rear wheels locked up completely while coming to a stop the other day. I was traveling about 35 mph at the time. There was only one noise, or warning, when I let my foot off the...

Does anyone have a lead as to where I could find an A/C idler pulley mounting bracket? Its for my Canadian '85 BJ60. 3B engine, everything stock as far as I can tell. I've tried Cruiserparts and Cruiser Outfitters with no luck. I've currently got the A/C compressor. I need the 3rd C/C crank...

Thanks for the reply jzilla, You have answered my concern. Someone would have probably dealer installed A/C on my rig after the fact. My truck doesn't have the a/c idler pulley. The repair manual I purchased shows 3 belts for trucks with A/C. 1. Power steering 2. Alternator 3. A/C. My BJ60 has...

Thanks MicahMan
