Proffits cruisers in Denver does full restorations as well as engine replacements. you might give them a call.

I am fairly sure it is coming from the tranny area. There is a different whine coming from the back!!

For any of you tranny gurus out there. I have an 84 FJ60 with 150k miles. I bought it last october and have been slowly repairing things. I put on new exhaust manifold and a CCOT tune up kit and it runs great. The problem now is tranny noise. As I accelerate from a stop no real tranny noise...

I think the questions that you have are similar to questions a lot of us have. Do we put money into these old trucks or do we sell or trade in the old rig and buy something new? A new truck has a warranty and should run for 100k miles without any problems. Every day you go out it should start...

there is a bunch of expedition travel information over on www.expeditionportal.com

My wife and I spent a month on the road a few years ago traveling the western USA. We took a tent for the times we were staying in a single spot for awhile because it was just a lot more roomy. Sleeping in the truck works well, but need to rig up mosquito netting on windows so you can get some...

I am glad to hear this. My clutch also engages in the last inch or so of travel with a new slave cylinder

I have been going throug emissions hell and recently had the 2 BVSV valves that were broken off replaced in an attempt to help out. Before replacement, when I bought the truck the vacumn hoses were just hanging there open to the air, but the truck ran well. Now after replacing the valves it...

My 1984 FJ60 isa project vehicle/ weekend play toy. DD is a Honda CRV that gets 23 mpg to and from work and is RELIABLE!!

I believe that LCS has gone belly up. I have tried multiple times to get through and numbers are disconected. If you are trying to get your rig to pass the emissions test keep all of your receipts on parts and if possible get your work done at a location that is an official emissions repair...

For an inexpensive alternative it sounds like the full length MAF add a leafs night be a good and inexpensive option.

I am also looking for a place. Beardon seems to be OK, but they are a little high and last time I took my cruiser in they wanted to replace some parts that did not need to be replaced. they have done good work for me in the past though. Stay away from all Lambs tire and automotive as they don't...

Thanks tons for the info. Tonight(after the kids are asleep) I will start putting it all back together!!

I appreciate the help that I have received to this point with manifold gasket replacement project. I pulled the manifold and found that there is no warpage and it looks like all I need to do is replace the gasket. So far this has all been done with advice from folks on this forum as I have...

I would love to cap the thing off and yank all the smog stuff, but we have emissions testing here. I am doing alot of this mess so I can get the emissions passed so I can get registered. If it does not pass I may need to do something drastic like do a propane conversion, or get it registered...
