Yes, fresh 90 weight in the trans, tcase and both diffs. Not a stupid question at all, that's the first thing I'd ask.
With this sitting as long as it did, it seems like there's a new surprise around every corner!!
Just got her on the road after sitting for 20+ years.
Got this whining when the clutch is engaged. No crazy noises when the clutch is in.
Any ideas that don’t involve replacing the clutch....?
My rule of thumb for pricing Aus>US
FJ40- double the price
Anything else- add a zero
This is based off zero legit research or facts, but I'm sure I'm not too far off :)
So I’m putting my 40 back together and was curious what this is for. Did some searching and came up empty.... is it for cold weather?
2 inlet tubes one to the front and one next to the head
A week or 3 ago I took apart my heater to replace the heater core and whatever else didn't work. At the Bakersfield meet, I saw quite a few 40's with no heater. Soooooooo I decided to leave it out. My 'Heater Eliminator Kit' was a Gates 25528 hose and a M16x1.5 oil drain plug.

@Rock40 looks like that's going to be this weekend. Going to get it all put back together during this week and flush Saturday. Using the old water pump (new one should be here today) and RTV gaskets (not to waste new ones).
So I've read about muriatic acid flush and there are varying...
That's no joke man. Every little project has the potential to open Pandora's box..... the last few pics were the result of "hmmmm maybe I'll see what this thermostat looks like" :bang:

Thanks for the replies, acid bath coming this weekend.... I still have the old water pump...
