i noticed awhile back that my rear locker wasn't engaging. The front indicator would stop blinking, but the rear would steadily blink. This was a few months ago. Yesterday, I decided to investigate the issue and found that now my front locker isn't engaging. Both blink forever. I can also...
I'm out of ideas for my '95.
The problem: one injector is constantly dumping fuel. It had started running terribly and eventually dying. I found the injector while doing a compression check. All other cylinders were right around 175 psi while the number 4 cylinder was at 275 (filled with gas)...
How difficult is it to replace the engine wiring harness? I just pulled my fuel rail to replace injectors (one failed) and a few of the connectors are broken. I know of a few others below the intake that are also broken. Is the trouble worth it? What connections are the trickiest to get to? I...
My 80 started making a typical driveshaft u-joint noise on the front shaft. I noticed the front u-joint had some play and mimicked the sound i was hearing when I moved it with my hand. After changing the joint, I've noticed the sound is still there. Not constantly and not as bad as it was, but...
I've searched this forum and found almost no discussion about replacing the manual fan with an electric one. I've made this mod on almost every classic car I've ever owned and feel that it helps reduce drain on the engine. I'm not looking for massive power gains, but I know it would help in some...
Am I crazy to buy an '02 Tacoma (4x4, manual tranny, diff lock, extended cab, TRD, with 200k miles) that has a blown head gasket? Guy wants $4,000. It runs and drives but is blowing white smoke out the tail pipe. I'm not afraid of the work. My daily driver is an 80 Series LC, and I've been all...
I'm regularly getting water inside my camshaft position sensor connection. I've dried it out multiple times and the last time I decided to smother the outside of the connector with Vaseline. I drove through a fair amount of deep water today (I'm sure the connection was under water for awhile)...
Any idea on where I can find OEM bumps stops? Only ones I’ve found are on Ebay with shipping from Australia. I’ll buy those if I have to, but wanted to see if you guys know another source. Also, what universal/aftermarket bumps stops work? I’m running 285/75 tires on OME standard height springs...
Need some help diagnosing a strange front end bounce. When I hit even small bumps on the road at any speed, my front wheels seem to bounce like crazy. The body isn’t bouncing, but the wheels seem to be over responding to the bump. I can feel it inside the truck for a few seconds after the bump...
I’ve searched multiple threads for this and have found lots of helpful info but I’m a little confused on what to do in my situation. I have a FSM and according to it, my front shaft is to be out-of-phase while my rear shaft is to be in-phase. Correct?
I have discovered a rattle in my front...
I'm most likely about to do a rebuild on my 1FZ engine ('95 model with 289k miles). For you folks who have done this, I've got a few questions:
- What online rebuild kit/part suppliers do you like? I've read a few folks mentioned on this forum, but am not sure how to find them (ie. I've seen...
A new FZJ80 owner and looking for the best place to get parts. I need to replace the valve cover gasket, grommets, distributor o-ring, etc… and can't seem to find a place online that carries all that I need. There are several places, but they may only carry the gasket and not the grommets. I'm...
