    York OBA questions

    Look at the smaller air filters off of a commercial truck with air brakes. They have a heater to dry out the silicate and a filter built in. Some are huge but their are lots of small models too. Pretty cheap at truck salvage yards because they rarely go bad. I use a bendix airbrake pump for my...

    Builds Family haulin'

    Awesome trick on the valve covers, a little late to the party but I found it was way easier and cheaper to machine the pedestals while attached to the head for a base. This means you only have to set up one piece in the mill vs multiple and usually the head is already off when your machining the...

    SOA update/help

    I used the ruffstuff kit on my 62. They are quality parts but that pass perch is only a starting point, you will grind a good amount of material off of the inside of it before it fits correctly. I also had to grind a small amount on the diff to get the bolts in on the inside of the pass side...

    Builds Family haulin'

    A little late on the advice but check out industrial injections freeze plug fix. They use a billet plug clamped in similar to the heater setup and it cures the blow out problem. I would go ahead and take care of the side ones while you have easy access. It's been my experience that when you make...

    Builds Big Red Toy

    Check out YouTube for the p-pump adjustments. You will have to watch them do it on 6bts though. I was having the same problem with just a couple hundred degrees on my 6bt in a superduty and timing made all the difference in the world. I went from 12.5 degrees factory to 19.5 and the egts dropped...

    How much do you have into your rig so far?

    I'm with the other guys who suspect their wives of posting this as a trap. With that being said probably around 11 so far. Currently in the middle of a SOA with 63" springs going in the back though, and still haven't let the princess know about the tires and wheels that it's going to require as...

    Dual Battery Install

    I've been running two optimas in a parrallel configuration for a couple of years now without any problems. One deep cycle and one start battery. I've worked on diesels for years,and they all run duals just for starting amperage. The problem with this setup is you will drain both batterys at...

    Tranny clunks BUT only when warm

    Must just be a 62 thing. Mine feels like it falls out every time. Already did u joints and I just installed a locker so I know the rear is within specs. Think I,ll just have to deal with it until the NV4500 conversion. Weasel

    Input Requested: FJ60/FJ62 Security Glove Box Project

    Looks like a good idea. Nice to see something designed for a cruiser instead of trying to adapt Heep parts. Weasel

    fan clutch

    It sounds like the fan clutch, with it being more affected by the speed variation but that does not totally rule out a radiator going bad. By the way I'm glad to see u ended up with a 60. This is the AC that used to work with your dad. Feel free to give me a call your dad has my number. Weasel
