Hey yall, I've developed a periodic "klunk" somewhere in the drivetrain when I'm in 4wd high. At 25mph the klunk happens about every 4 seconds. You can feel it when it happens, both in the gear shifter and in your feet. I think maybe it's coming from my transfer case but not really sure. The...
My alternator situation, like everything in my lj78, is a bit murky. The shop that did the 13bt swap (landcruisers direct) left me with what looks and acts exactly like a duralast a14681, however, that alternator claims to be internally regulated in the specs, and I have an external reg. The...
Was thinking about getting my lj78 radiator flushed / acid-dipped before trying to make it out to the 70-series meetup in TN next week. The dude at the shop told me that sometimes radiators as old as mine aren't held together by anything but the gunk, and a good cleaning can mean certain...
heya. My 13bt was recently rebuilt, and has developed an oil leak in the pan seal next to the flywheel.
I wasn't initially sure where it was coming from, so cleaned everything up real good and drove it around the block. With a flashlight I can see gaps in the liquid-seal stuff they used and...
I know this is going to be a contentious thread, because I'm about to speak some truth about a shop owned by a beloved and prolific member of the forum, but it is what it is. I'm going to commit up front to not getting into a flamewar. That isn't why I'm here. I need some solid advice on how to...
yall, I'm racking my brain trying to figure out why this truck is idling rough (missing/stumbling), but only when it's nice and warmed up (10 miles on the highway or 30 minutes driving around town, 300+ egt at idle). Before it gets completely warmed up, it runs like a dream. It also runs fine...
Hey all, I have an injector that is constantly damp around the base..
whereas my other three injectors look more or less like this:
The base of this particular injector always looks like this:
That's bad, right?
Hey all,
I'm a newb with a 13-bt that has developed a rough idle with a pretty extreme periodic rhythm (as if it wants to stall) (the video doesn't really do it justice)
If I kill the engine while it's doing this (and sometimes when it isn't) the truck won't start up again for a while...
