Also, what would caused the rpm to error out when I go over around 4000? When sitting idle the IAC goes from 0 to 40, back and fourth

I can’t get the dang IAC to stay between 4-8. It jumps all over the place once it gets to temp. 😡 Any suggestions out there?????

Test day is going great. My tire man is 45 miles away so this day has been a solid good day for testing. Truck runs great. Temps creep up to 210 in this heat but the minute you get off the interstate it cools back down under 200. Fixed fan...

I suspected fuel delivery seeing this tank sat up forever and I was correct. Hopefully this is just what was sitting in the bottom of the tank. I put a new filter on and will drive it some more. If it fills up another filter I'll have to...

Got all the turnbuckles installed in the soft top and some new footman loops on the tailgate. Solid top. Looks great. Went on a nice test drive. It runs good. Has a little pop and backfire and hesitation during wide open throttle runs.

I got the TTORA soft top in, the OEM turnbuckles landed today. I'll get those installed tomorrow. Top fits great.

lol, right

You are lucky its a 665 rpm's, no telling what would happen at 666

Well if it’s not one thing it’s another. First drive. Looks like my alternator is not charging. Tested it at the battery while running and it’s just 12.1V. And my IAC is at zero, gonna have to wait till my new alternator gets here. Let it run for...

Finished drilling the upper hole and used a larger bolt to secure the top of the mount to the fire wall. My arms are long enough to back up the nut and tighten the bolt from inside. Checked the pedal travel and the pedal stops before...

Thats awesome! ...Sorry for your 2021 loss. lol

A recent update from @greenEFSI had me thinking about my little ones and my cruisers. I have hundreds of photos of my kids and I enjoying cruisers, but for some reason this one hit me the other day. This is from maybe 2005 or 2006, I'd have to...

It’s official! Little man has finally arrived! Started him off right with his first FJ40, and brought home in the LC250 :clap:

Back to work on the 40… Trying to get rid of this fuel smell in the cab once and for all! Sourced three 12” strips of 5/16” fuel hose and one 14” strip of 1/4” fuel hose. This sorted out the evap canister lines. The main fuel elbow was sourced...

As far as I'm concerned, they offer nothing that an oe dissy can't also provide.

🤬 frustrating.. would be my second coil. Few years back it went out.

Getting all the wiring hooked up this weekend and trying to get it started. I am not getting any fire to the plugs. I am using coolerman’s HEI wiring harness, and I am getting 12v to the distributor. No spark. I assume the coil in the HEI is out...

I was hoping to get the truck started today but…. When finding a better location for the fuel filter with the built in return line, I was not please that the ground tab is not on a plane with any other angles where the part is installed. I went...

Back from being gone most of the week dropping off one in Pennsylvania and picking one up in North Carolina. Spent the morning getting the Duramax serviced and catching up. Got back and messed with the timing then fired this guy up and made...

I got fittings delivered today. Removed the fittings provided with the fuel filter head and kept the O-rings and reused them with the new M14x-8AN fittings and installed in the head. I measured the thread diameter and checked the thread pitch and...

Have a fun 4th all! Someone out there, a Happy Birthday Tech moment… YELLR got some care packages earlier and yesterday. Will address these boxes before SAS.

The last piece to get stripped. It’s in much better shape than I thought it was going to be. Few pin holes right at the front. Not sure how I am going to tackle it. 😵‍💫 I am hoping to get it started this weekend. Bought all new gear/trans/engine...

JACKPOT! Early sector rollers! A whole other box that literally slipped through the cracks. This box predates the one that I have been tapping for rebuilds for the last decade. Looks like I will be set for quite a while longer.😊

Good call…I’ll give that one a shot.

You can. I usually use that wire for the DUI signal. The carburator switch 12 is a good signal for the pink wire. Or tap the back of the fuse box.
