So with the transfer case in 4WD, transmission in Neutral, and both front hubs in the "Lock" position, I can rotate the front driveshaft with no rotation from either wheel. Blocking one wheel didn't change anything, either. Just to ease my mind, I pulled the drain plug and inspected the gears -...

1987 FJ60, stock transmission and transfer case. Long story short my 4WD decided not to work today. And we're anticipating pretty good snowfall this week. I've removed and inspected the hubs per the instructions here. Everything lines up, and nothing appears to be incorrectly installed or...

As far as I know, JimC is the only cruiser-specific guy that does them. There's a shop local to me that does them on an old Sun machine, but they're swamped with winter restorations. It may be worth calling around to a few of the older speed shops?

Just out of curiosity, has the shop given you any updates?

Like Spike Strip said, kill a cylinder and see what happens. We've rebuilt three 2Fs at our shop, and on two of them received crappy aftermarket lifters. The ITM and EngineTech lifters that come in the aftermarket rebuilds are hot garbage, and fracture under where the pushrod seats in the cup...

7W-2326 is what you're looking for. For whatever reason, they're hideously expensive online, but my local Cat dealer can get them to me for $9.00 out the door. So don't let the online prices scare you.

Definitely meant 33033 - I swear I'm not dyslexic. As for not meeting Holley's ratings, I just matched the part number that came in their kit - I'll double check and make sure I'm not mistaken. Both injectors tested good, at 12.0ohms. Swapped the injectors, problem didn't move. Took the fuel...

As far as I know, the only vacuum line that needs to be capped is the EGR port on the passenger-side of the carburetor, as that should be the supply vacuum for the EGR. All the others are blocked off with plates and gaskets. I don't remember if the modulator or EGR uses the 3-prong "Gas Filter"...

I would hope very slim. I've got new hard and soft lines from the tank to the EFI unit. I'm using two brand-new Wix 33003 filters before and after the pump, and have verified good fuel pressure (59psi on my OTC gauge). No excessive resistance between fuel pump B+ to battery and ground post to...

Got back to the house. Tried firing it up - fuel is stuck at 35.6% at all times... seems like a hard fuel fault rather than input sensor issue? Disabled Closed Loop operation, no change... tells me the wideband HO2S is probably not to blame - Inspected the barrels of the EFI unit and found...

6.) Remove the now-loose retaining bracket, and shimmy the shift shaft control rod away from the mounting stud to create enough clearance between the shift shaft and plastic bushing to safely remove and install the new seal: 7.) Remove and replace the seal. Be sure to clean the shaft of all...

There are a few threads about this already, but I couldn't find a step-by-step guide on this job. So I decided to make one for anyone else who may need one! :) If I remember correctly, the Toyota FSM states you should partially disassemble the transfer case to do this job, but that's not...

Spot on. My 2F's got 15,000 miles. Running 5W30 AmsOil or Mobil1 and a CAT filter. Would highly recommend. Oil pressure at start-up is immediate compared to running 15W40, is nearly identical at hot idle, and 0 leaks or other deficits to report. Blackstone Labs analysis also reports it's more...

Just wanted to check in and see if someone can provide some insight into the Holley Sniper system here -- Over the last two mornings, I've had severe drivability issues with my Sniper EFI system. It starts with dying at idle coming off deceleration in gear, and eventually evolves into failing...

Replaced my crappy aftermarket clutch master / slave cylinders with OEM Aisin. Got tired of having to replace these every year, and now my clutch feels NEW. And finally got around to ditching the gutted smog pump with a JimC idler. Again, stuff I should've done years ago.
