Mine got lightened up recently. No more canopy or RTT. Added onboard air

Took this photo directly from the 3B engine manual today, same as the 1HD manual.

Hey! I noticed that when I go through water crossings, (or even when I splash a big puddle), the cab fan will start ticking. The sound is like a relay pulling in. The truck loses power instantly and if I don't turn the fan off, the truck will just die completely. I'm guessing water is getting...

257,000km if the odometer is correct. I'd like to soak the rings first before I get carried away. Anything you'd suggest I try as well? I'll be testing compression mid-week

No, they seem to be wearing pretty evenly

Hey, I'm having an issue with my 3B (88 Bj75). Please keep in mind, I'm no diesel guy here, so my knowledge is lacking. Coasting downhill I notice an exhaust smell fill the cab. Only when coasting, there is no other time or condition I've noticed the smell. Crawled under the truck and noticed...

Thanks for all the info everyone! I have my new filter on order

I have a set on my 75. 31x10.5r15 I've been impressed with them so far, 5000km in. This truck is my daily driver, so about 70% on road/highway and 30% trail use. The last set of mt's I had were toyo mt, so far these are slightly quieter but not much. I am however, very impressed off road with...

What's everyone's recommendation for a replacement unit? I've done some searching but there's so many options it's a little overwhelming.

An update: This afternoon on my way home, approx. 20°C. The truck basically lost all power down to 2nd gear. I dropped it down to 1st and mashed the throttle, which cleared the issue. The problem kept coming back in some mild traffic congestion. I pulled off and bypassed the sedimenter, and the...

This seems to be an intermittent issue. Only happens in 4th gear, going up a hill with the rpm down low and the engine is working itself. Truck will sputter and I will lose power, barely enough to maintain any speed. I had some exhaust work done a few months ago, could this have anything to do...

That's what I assumed. So if there's no grit in there and all else working correctly, fluid will come out yes?

Installed my winch, fabbed up a mount for it too!

Hey, I need some clarification from those who know more about these things. In the photo, my truck has the above sedimenter. To me, logic dictates that if I unscrew the bottom most cap/bolt (with what looks like a bleed screw), I should be able to drain the water or whatever s*** is in there...

I might change the mounting soon
