@CruiserTrash I had 15 years of trouble free running with the second VB from Wholesale. The other two units that were replaced received a clean bill of health once inspected at Wholesale. I found the mod to be well worth the cost and noticed an improvement in how the car drove immediately. The...

Hmm, I have had three of these valve bodies installed over the years because the re-builders have insisted that they were the cause of my problems. Two of them sent back to Wholesale only to be told (via email) they serviced them and re-sold. At each swap out the issues remained the same. Even...

G'Day guys, I'm off to the Magistrates court in the next few weeks to get a transmission builder to refund me the $5k I have spent with him on reconditioning an A440f. for my HJ61 The story is long and convoluted, so in a nut shell. Shop1, recons A440F, shocking slippage in lock-up, over heats...

My line pressure in drive was SUB 100psi and sub 150 in reverse @ stall speed. I have a low stall 1500rpm TC

After several months of getting the run around I finally have another shop that is helping me with this. The fitting of the transmission pressure gauge helped diagnose a pump fault. Line pressure is well below specs and therefore not enough pressure to maintain lock-up TC over heats. We are now...

Does anyone know what the thread size is for the line pressure port? I'm looking at fitting an in cab pressure gauge.to my HJ61. Sender units come with 1/8 NPT. Not sure if I will need an adapter. My last transmission re-builder has stuffed the recon twice in 12 months With this second fail he...

Thanks Duncan

After putting up with this for 24 years I decided it's time to sort it out. Up until now I have had a kill switch that cut of the earth lead from the battery to the body/engine. Worked really well every time I remembered to turn it off. I had a sparkie turn up yesterday and he could not find the...

I went upmarket Isuzu TF 88-97 https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/60-series-porn-pictures-of-the-kind-that-get-people-like-us-excited.1008281/page-186#post-15015529

Thanks sved, proof you can teach an old dog new tricks. local electronics store had 1Kohm thermistor for $2.25. spent 15 mins modifying the old connection and soldering in, just have to protect it now. BINGO I have both temps showing now. yes we are in for 42+ today

Thanks to UpsideDown for starting this thread all those years ago. Just fixed my overhead Temp display. 4 cracked joints only took 17 years to solve it, should have looked here first. just need to chase up a new external sensor mine got removed when fitting the ARB bar and winch

Thanks Spike, I was going to drill and tap a thread today.... But will now just fit them up. Really want the old girl back on the road. 3" exhaust booked in for next week... Thanks for the feedback...

Thanks kevin, I figured that once I started stripping down the old hub/rotor combo to shift the studs over to the new one. I still question why then did Toyota bolt them together and from what I can see still do. If I remember correctly though one of my vehicles in the past the rotors just slid...

I need some advice before I fit new hubs... I am re-building my front end, swivel hub bearings etc and decided to replace the front hubs too as I could see a pronounced groove where the seal sits at the back of the hub. Then though stuffit, I fit new rotors too. OnlineAutoParts are super good to...
