Im trying to get my bj 40 started but the starters not kicking in, its a 3l b diesel with "24v". im only using 1 fully charged battery running in another car (has 15 volts charging). the starter relay is making lots of clicks when i crank, and thers no drop in volts. If I don't have the...

how heavy is the 3b engine? would a 1 ton chain hoist handle it?

the piece thats welded on to attach to the springs has alot of surface rust but the chassis itself looks ok

yea and right where the weight is transfered to

well, in that case maybe i should think about saving the existing frame. its pretty bad, but after looking at it all morning it kinda seems like it still has strength. This is the worst part of the frame: the important part: heavy surface rust, but it doesnt really go all the way...

original land cruiser body and frame would be great but then id be setting my self up to have the same problem, those cruiser rust really bad! could it be swaped onto a frame of a more modern land cruiser?

I've now inherited tweety from moms finally. I drove it back when i was 16 (first ever actually). Its got quite the history here, but has been unoperational for 2-3 years now for some small problem and now the ocean salt has manifested..... this is tweety 3b under the hood, with...

i have monroe shocks that have just gone out in the front as well as all my ball joints and 1 steering arm. The roads here are shocking, things go out quick. I was wondering what would be the best shocks for the job. I'm not worried about stability or firmness at all as it is very rare that i...

Thanks for the reply. I understand that worn out injector pump/ injectors need to be rebuilt. The injection guy himself said it was just dirty, and that my motor sounds fine. I took my injectors to him only 6-7 months ago, after that the car started on first crank every time, now it usually...

I have a hilux with the 3L motor, its got symptoms of dirty pump and injectors (not terrible, just low power and a fair bit more smokey). the injection guy reccomended I bring him the pump and injectors so he can clean and rebuild it, quoted at 500$. So I've been researching this diesel purge...

ok, its not the ground, well..... its not a loose ground. volts are getting to all the places they are supposed to. what i have found is that all the components that arent working have continuity in their lines. also as ive been using the car the batterys slowly been dying, but over night it...

it runs, its diesel, but it started life as a 22r. its got the 3l. ima find that ground, your probably right edit: oh and its an 86, but 96 motor

hey guys. got some current problems. Ive been testing things with my multimeter trying to make sense of it all. just about everything to do with ignition has stoped working. here is a list of things that arent working: turn signals diesel marker temperature reader battery light 4x4 light...
