Which is exactly what im planning to do.

Im a few weeks away from doing my heater core, and this seems like the best solution as it'll be a much readily available part in the future.

Mine was nearly impossible to use when i first bought the truck. I sprayed the linkage with some PB blaster, which only helped a little. But i have found using low range every month has help it loosen back up(which i recommend).

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/towing-capacity-of-fj80.285116/#post-4447938 "FJ80s are 3500. FZJ80s are 5000." Given the difference in engine output and braking capacity, it would make snese.

Yep, the ATF is well past varnished at that temperature.

Way too damn hot. From the A442F transmission service manual.

Heck i bought a used exhaust system for my 93 truck just to put the cats back on, nothing gained without them.

If your truck is starting to run more poorly the warmer it gets i would investigate the engine coolant temp sensor.

Also OP remember if you have a machine shop grind the seats to have them check the spring seat pressure. Some of the more lazy shops will just take care of the seats and not check pressure and shim as needed to bring it up to stock(which could also be down from heat/age).

Has anyone actually checked/replaced the engine coolant temperature sensor and TPS? My truck ran like hell when i got it, with a bad ECT.

Fuses, fusible link,s and relays would be where i would start.

I got mine off rock auto, it was like $75 a piece, unfortunately it looks like theyre out of stock now. They are not paint matched, just black but works well enough for me.

Is this vehicle speed dependent, engine speed dependent, throttle speed dependent, or load dependent?

Interesting, wish i had known that at the time. I may have to send my old bad one in to get worked as a backup for longer wheeling trip as I could never be able to find one if the used one i tossed in were to fail.

when i needed one for my cruiser it took like 2 months to find one on ebay, and it wasnt that much cheaper than what they are talking. Those AFMs are only used for 93-94 1FZ cruisers and do no interchange with anything else, so there is little in the way of options sadly.
