Ours went 307,000 miles. Leaked a bit out of the rear main. I think the daughter let it run a bit low in oil while away at college. It spun two rod bearings. I found a low mileage engine with 43,000 miles on it and made a exchange. The original engine still has the hone marks on the cyl. walls.
The 93 PAIR setup was not reused. Vacuum feed for its control pluged. 97 engine was complete, sensors which were different were exchanged. 97 crank position sensor not used. Transmission was replaced with a low mileage, same model transmission. The fuseable links at the battery are connected...
After 306,931 miles my 93 FZJ80 spun a couple rod bearings. It sat for a year and I just now replaced the engine with a 97 model. I used the 93 harness and vacuum valves under the intake manifold. The replacement engine will not start. It will run on starter fluid. The injectors don't seem...
I want to swap a '97 engine into my '93 LC. If I swap sensors and wiring from the old engine but do not put the PAIR system on the '97 engine will the ECM throw a code? Will there be other problems? Thanks
Several times over the life of my FZJ80 I have had the same problem. I finally figured out that I was getting water in the wiring to the MAF sensor. After several hours it dried out each time and the problem went away. About twenty minutes of idling with the hood shut would also dry it out...
I just installed an ARB bumper with a Warn xd9000 winch. Before installation the front fender flares were 34" off the ground measured at the centerline of the wheel with stock tires. At the time of installation I put a 1 1/8" urathane spacer above the front spring (strut) mount. After...
Why use a blend or dyno oil when you can use a full synthetic like Amsoil? I have been using Amsoil for over 20 years and have had great success. I have changed the oil at 25,000 miles and the filters at 12,500. Yes, it's a bit more $$ than the other oils up front but do the math and figure your...
I just mounted ARB bumper and fog lights. I used a Tacoma fog light switch. I tied the lighting in the switch to the other switches (by jumper wire) so it would dim with the rest. The only problem is that it dims and brightens backwards from the rest. What did I do wrong. Any help would be...
