    78 2f highway speed chug/cough - possible water in fuel

    Yes! It ended up needing a carb cleaning, mechanic said it was half clogged. Also replaced the fuel filter closest to the gas tank, there was some rust pieces in mine which likely came from inside the tank. Not sure which was the bigger issue but with both cleaned/replaced it runs great now with...

    78 2f highway speed chug/cough - possible water in fuel

    Update #2: Purchased a new fuel filter and replaced it with no change. Still ran perfect around town, but trying to accelerate to highway speeds wasn't easy. Wouldn't do more than about 50-55 without the sputtering. I took TapRackNGo's advice and purchased some new spark plugs (I hadn't changed...

    78 2f highway speed chug/cough - possible water in fuel

    Update 2: Finally got around to changing the fuel filter this morning. Took her for a spin on the highway and she won't manage much past 50 still. Started up and ran perfectly, even after sitting for nearly a week. Also still runs normally at low speeds around town, no...

    78 2f highway speed chug/cough - possible water in fuel

    Update: Purchased some HEET from the gas station after another 50 miles or so. Didn't change the chugging/sputtering at high speeds. Continued to get worse throughout the day, but I did end up making it through the blizzard to Spokane. Cruiser still got me home in one piece! Hills were rough...

    78 2f highway speed chug/cough - possible water in fuel

    over the past two days ive been driving my 1978 Fj40 from Denver up to Spokane where I go to school. It’s been running fantastically other than an issue that’s starting to worry me - back story, I left my gas cap in Cheyenne at the station but didn’t realize it until a few hundred miles later...

    Squeal and low oil pressure

    Thanks for the help guys, turns out it was a siezed up smog pump bearing. My clutch also coincidentally decided to leak all of its fluid on the floor at the same time. I figure she's just throwing a tantrum about me going to college and not taking her with me :)

    Squeal and low oil pressure

    I just got home from the mountains and about a block from my house, my 78 fj40 started squealing and dropped in oil pressure. It didn't drop to 0 but it was lower than normal. Since I was so close to home, I limped home in first and the squeal would change sounds but not corresponding with revs...

    Floor Pan Puzzle

    I just bought my cruiser last November and hadn't really had the time to work on it with school, but now that summer is here I finally pulled out the seats and floor mats to see what i was dealing with in terms of rust. I knew it wouldn't be perfect seeing as that it has surface rust in the bed...

    My new project

    Thanks guys! I plan on keeping it as long as I live, and I want to keep it as original as possible but obviously I want it to be drivable without an infinite budget. Thanks Rainman for the detail along with the picture, thats really helpful and that's the first thing I'll do!

    My new project

    Thanks for the welcome! I can already tell I'm going to like it here. The previous owner replaced all the lights and covers, as well as new side mirrors and a front bumper. I'm slowly figuring out a few other things here and there. As for the interior the right rear jump seat will need to be...

    My new project

    So I've been wanting an fj40 for years now and I worked butt off over the summer. I was looking around on craigslist and I finally found this beauty and splurged on myself. 1978 land cruiser with original 2f and 106,000! Runs strong but as always need a little tlc. Minor leaks, bit of rust, etc...
