Here’s a pic minus the 5/8” heater hose from core outlet to pipe return. Ground going from block/heater pipe bracket to firewall. Confused as to whether it is serving to ground the pipe as well as the block or is it just a convenience to share that one bolt? My concern is that by not running...

Would I be doing bad things if I bypass the metal heater core coolant return pipe that this ground wire is bolted to? The metal return is leaking coolant on my 94 FZJ80 and until I can afford the new and improved metal return I was hoping I could just bypass it with 5/8" heater hose and thereby...

Got mine put back together a while back and so far, knock on wood, all is good with the PS. Drives like a champ and steering is great. Now, having cleaned surrounding areas, I’ve noticed a small amount of PS fluid pooling around the power piston plunger nut on the gear box. I figure my next...

Next Question: In lieu of a slide hammer/bearing puller, any other successful methods for removing the front plate. Not to be a cheapy, but if I can avoid spending $70 at Harbor Freight for something I may never use again. I’ve tried knocking the pump on a wood block as someone in a previous...

In the process of the rebuild. Last step is removing the front plate and then the oil seal. I picked up the Gates kit a while back and just noticed that one side of the Gates seal differs from the other. Anyone have knowledge of what direction the Gates seal gets installed?

Thanks to all the replies. Y'all have painted a good picture to help guide me along. Since the new tank is used I can't attest to its condition and can only hope it isn't causing the problem. Funny how the problem surfaced when on a long trip with the family. We are currently on our...

@jwilber: Although I was amped on adrenaline I'm pretty sure there was pressure in the tank. I know for a fact there has been pressure from the last two fill ups. One thing I didn't mention was the accelerated rate the needle dropped from 1/2 to 1/4(ish) tank once the sputtering started.

Took our first long trip in our 94 FZJ (we bought it over the summer and have driven it close to home to see how it does). Got down to a half tank of fuel and the low fuel light came on. Thought it may be due to grade changes on the freeway but the light never went away. About 15 minutes...
