    HDFT from Germany Needs Help

    very diplomatically put. the fusible link on my 1993 fjz80 looked kind of heat damaged when i bought it so i made a nice replacement out of blue wire not knowing any better. thankfully i read enough to know better on mud soon enough to replace it before i blew everything up. i guess my...

    99 lx470 locker light coming on when not locked

    for the 80 series you can get the equivalent switch indicators aftermarket made for 4runners and pickups for a fraction of the oem price. a common indicator sensor was used in tcases and lockers to indicate whether the cdl or locker was engaged. in this case though the difference could well...

    99 lx470 locker light coming on when not locked

    thanks. that makes sense. glad to hear ecu is contraindicated. the position indicator is $118 from mr. t here in the great white north. a lot cheaper online. i will unplug the sensor at the harness plug, tape it up, zap strap it, and see if that stops the problem. if it does i will order...

    99 lx470 locker light coming on when not locked

    hey folks. i have a 1999 lx470 with a rear locker that has been frozen for some years. normally, if i turn the locker switch the light flashes but there is no noise or engagement. recently the red locker dash light started flickering on when climbing hills or towing and it stays red after a...

    old mountain bike thread

    that's a schwinn moab 3 with the famous shimano altus/acera/stx/deore/xtr gruppo with mixed avid brake levers. aka a bunch of stuff i found in my bike parts boxes plus a $15 saddle from amazon that said "sport king" in the ad plus some highly dubious quality new "schwinn" bear claws. it...

    old mountain bike thread

    just got a santa cruz with a oneup oval. the modern ovals are the opposite alignment to the crank realtive to biopace. i bought a fisher hookooeekoo new in 1987 and had them switch out the biopace after a few days. so far i barely notice the new one.

    school me on old shortwave radios

    so it turned out my house sucks for shortwave. i put a 70' long wire antenna up on the roof and still got barely anything. all i can pick up clearly are wacky religious stations from the us south. then i took the grundig to the our summer cabin a few weekends back and with just a short wire...

    converting obd1 to obd2

    not sure what was done in that case and it may be a full swap from a newer vehicle. for an obd2 vehicle a vaf to maf conversion can be done while retaining the obd1 ecu if you build or buy a device to convert the voltage output from the maf to the vaf equivalent voltage. that cures the main...

    school me on old shortwave radios

    well i got nothing at all on the shortwave spectrum last night using the built in whip. tried between 10 and 11 pst punching in a bunch of frequencies of active shortwave stations from web searches. sometimes i could see bouncing on the signal meter but only once did i hear very faint voice...

    school me on old shortwave radios

    actually, does anyone know if a 4' cb whip antenna will help shortwave reception on this thing? i have one doing nothing and i see it takes an external antenna.

    school me on old shortwave radios

    so i bought a grundig satellit 500 and a circa 1970s montgomery ward 8 band transister radio which has a full vhf band. the grundig is am/fm/sw and super technical to use and will definitely not work out as a cabin radio anyone can enjoy. the other one looks simple enough but is not here yet.
