I know it's been a while since this was posted, but I am very interested in doing the same thing with my BJ60. I have had so much trouble with the stock alternators for the 3b, and they are very expensive to replace (even buying used). What I'd like to do is leave the broken alternator (doesn't...

Yeah, I was pretty glad it came apart in a parking lot and not on the highway. You're lucky you've got someone watching out for you :)

Thank you so much, that is exactly what I was looking for. It's the link joint knob that has probably worn down, and now pops out of the seat on the end of the pitman arm. I'll order the parts from Napa or somewhere tomorrow.

This has probably been dealt with somewhere else in this forum but I couldn't find info on it. The other day I was backing my BJ60 (with 3B) into a parking spot at Superstore, and suddenly my steering wheel started turning way too easily. I realized I wasn't actually turning the wheels, so I...

Thanks Gord, if I can't get the pulley to fit I might have to buy your alternator.

I don't know if this is the right spot for this question, but I just bought an alternator from a wrecker that came off a diesel 2.4L toyota truck and I am hoping to use it on my 3b engine. The one from the wrecker mounted perfectly on the engine and all the wires plugged straight, however, the...

Hey 2Bees, I know you posted a while ago now, but I'm just looking at getting an alternator out of an older toyota pickup truck with the 2.4L to use on my BJ60 with the 3B engine. The wrecker has no idea what to charge for the alternator, and neither do I, so do you know what it's worth, or what...

So, I'm new to this forum. Hopefully this is the right spot for this question. I've got an 83 BJ60, and alternator is toast: I had it checked by an auto electrician. Would I be better off to try to find a reconditioned one (and where would I find one?), buy an alternator kit from 4wheelauto and...

Hey, I'm new to this site, so hopefully this post goes to the right spot. I've got the same problem as OilersRule, and I've already had the alternator checked by an auto electrician. He told me the thing is not working at all, and that he doesn't think he can get parts to fix it. Does anyone...

Hey, I'm new to this forum, so hopefully this post goes to the right spot. I've searched around the forums a bit, trying to find info on alternator problems. I bought my BJ60 (I'm the man for sweet deals) for 500 with a dead alternator. I have been charging the batteries at night so that I can...
