If it runs better with the choke engaged, I’d be looking for a vacuum leak.

Probably wouldn’t pass smog…

Not knowing your location, is there a cruiser club near you? Head to the clubhouse section and find the closest one and post up about needing help, perhaps someone can take you under their wing. A set of experienced eyes, ears, etc and a helping hand will go a long way.

It was a joke, folks like 85-up because a 5 speed is a direct swap. Other than that, just inconsequential stuff. Your hope for heaven is Jesus Christ, not karma, but since you lol’d maybe you knew that. Did the HG blow from overheat or a bad reseal? What are your symptoms? Damage might be...

Nobody wants a pre-85 and nobody likes Black Fj60s so I’ll take it off your hands, heck I’ll even give you a couple grand for your troubles.

Yes, you can unbolt the housings. Eliminate the chance of cracking the housing. And, iirc, just loosen the nuts and rotate the housings off the studs.

They are interchangeable, but stock the two outside can close.

Lots of possibilities here but since the sound is present in 4hi and low but not in 2hi assume 4wd related: front driveshaft joints, front diff, or t/c front output bearing. Definitely check fluid but you’d probably hear it in 2wd as well if dry.

@ToyotaMatt :Go!

Thanks, I had found those and from some dealers. Haven’t heard great things about TPD, what’s your opinion ? I also should have asked if anyone knows an aftermarket usage or substitution? I am trying to get a rusty box apart to see if it has a usable bearing. Or I have also considered going...

Did not know that. I figured my 82 starter had been replaced with something generic, it looked identical to the starter on my Ford 5000 tractor 🤣

That’s not a Toyota starter but if it was you could rebuild the solenoid contacts yourself. Do you have an auto electrical repair shop in your area? I have one near me that will rebuild starters and alternators, etc. A by-product of a farming community.

Weekend before last, but…. Went to swap out an H42 for the H41 I had installed two years ago with the LS swap. Drained the t case and found major chunkage, sludge and twice the required lube. Turns out, on assembly 20k ago, I had forgotten to install the gear stop between the input gear and...

Did you end up selling these? I pm’d you but haven’t gotten a response. I’m interested in these.

Hi all, Started in on a reseal of a spare steering gear only to find the bearing above the worm gear valve body destroyed. Found this old thread: Bad worm gear bearing - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/bad-worm-gear-bearing.254938/ And the damage is exactly the same as mine. Local dealer can...
