Sorry to anyone still interested. I sold it this afternoon.

I bought this vehicle 2 years ago with the thought that I would never part ways with it. The vehicle lived most of it life in TX and sat parked in a barn for several years. Once we got our hands on it we immediately went about many upgrades and maintenance items. The vehicle had 125,200 when I...

Swamp thing, i'm just getting ready to place my 88 FJ62 on Craigslist here in Denver. I'll be taking some pics tomorrow to post. It has many upgrades (OME suspension, brakes, lights,etc) and I had a full valve / head job within the last 1,000 miles. 130k on the vehicle. I'm probably going to...

We figured out what was making the strange ping / clank noise - one of the valve springs is broken. I guess that can cause quite a racket inside the valve cover!!! It is the second to last valve from the rear - an intake valve. I have never replaced a broken valve spring before. Any tips ...

We have done all of basic tune up stuff this past winter/ spring. The list of replacement parts and procedures is so long I had to go back and double check. The only thing mentioned in the above responses that we have not replaced is the fuel filter. I will replace that today. I would think if...

Yes, all indicator lights are off and dash meters are normal.

The issue started 2 weeks when I was driving home from a weekend in the mountains. All of a sudden the battery indicator, brake and AT temp light came on. When I got home I researched the issue and found several threads here that helped me trouble shoot. I removed the alternator and had it...

Nice looking rig. Interior looks great. How many miles are on it? I bought my first 62 last fall from an old barn in WI. We live in Golden,CO and I feel your angst with regards to the old woman in the LTD passing you ( I drive up and down Rt.70 heading into the mnts west of Denver at 45 mph...

Thankfully the tech at Stevinson knew what he was dealing with and was honest about my brakes performance. Once they vacuum bled the lines, the brakes have plenty of pedal pressure and seem to be working fine. Just goes to so you ("it's always something") that having push bled them 3 times with...

Man this topic really hits home as I'm still having issues with my brakes. I have replaced all hardware (pads,rotors, shoe and drums, and all soft lines) also a new MC. I'm still getting poor brake performance. I've been shopping around for a new brake booster and holy crap are they $$$. 4...

How do I determine if it is the MC or the booster that may be causing my brake problems? I hate to spend the $$ to replace a non-faulty device.

We have bled the brake lines 2 more times including the LPSV, in the order recommended. My brakes still feel like mush with little or no pressure. The MC and booster look to be original. Is there any test I perform to determine if either of those 2 components are the culprit?

In the words of Rosanna Rosanna Dana "NEVER MIND". :bang: 30 seconds under the vehicle and I found the LSPV. We were wondering what that thing was. And we DID NOT bled it the first time around. Didn't even see the bleed value until I went looking for it. It looks to me that the proper order to...
