Hey boys.
I got a new oem dizzy in the rig, I am pretty certain everything was correctly installed. 0 degree setting and lined up rotor and teeth on the gear end of the dizzy.
Truck is running fine, EXCEPT that my idle moved up. In P Im sitting like 1000-1100, and at 900 or like 875 in drive...
My 93 fzj80s PAIR valve lost a stud. The very small stud, holds one of the two secondary valves (marked in photo below) to the larger part of the valve. Somehow, one of mine backed itself out. Curious if anyone knows how to find the right stud, or if I'll even be able to get one in there. I...
Hi all, there is a well documented fuel tank phenomenon, where a hairline fracture appears along a certain position on the top of the tank. Based on what I have read, it is a design flaw.
After reading a bunch of the threads, people do not recommend welding (there is some term for the type of...
Description is in the title. 93 FZJ80, with a leaking dizzy (comes out the hole in the bottom of the cap).
How long can I drive with this leak? Will it affect any other parts, other than the distributor? Shop quoted me about 1k for replacement and install??? WTF? I really would not like to...
Hey guys,
I need the lock mechanism for the front passenger door. Cruiserparts sells them for 160$, and I cant really find it anywhere else. I have called all the junkyards I know of in the san diego area, and haven't been able to find one.
Curious if anybody knows of a land cruiser/toyota yard...
For all the new people -- regardless of how poor you might feel -- only use OEM radiators (apparently the Koyo is good too).
I purchased a CSF radiator last winter and have been running it since. It seems to work for most types of driving, and I only see issues with the temp heading past 210...
Hey guys,
A s***ty chinese starter has destroyed my 80's flywheel to the point that even with a nice new Denso in there, I still sometimes get no contact (no sound at keyturn but I can hear the starter spinning), or more rarely a lovely gnashing sound. I have seen the destruction, the flywheel...
Hi everyone,
I ended up melting my headlamp relay, literally into the connector below it. The connector is one section(slot) of the fuse box that lives next to the battery.
Because I don't want to re-wire everything to the fuse box, I originally tried to find a connector that would fit the new...
Hi all,
I need to replace the weather-strip(long rubber tube) that is on the inside(not attached to the actual door, which has another rubber) of the driver side door opening.
Half way down the drivers door opening, it turns into another trim piece that rims the opening where the door will sit...
Hey guys,
Had a nice red ATF fluid spill last night from the bottom of the two hoses that go under the battery tray and cool the tranny. Wanted to ask if anyone knows the part numbers for the two hoses that go from the radiator to two metal lines under the battery tray. I cannot seem to find...
Hey all,
The Black Pearl :) has been running great, other than a loopy idle. It seems to never want to come down to 650, and usually sits like 800 when I'm in gear, about 1050 when in P.
I have been playing with both the IAC and TPS, and just did the o-ring mod on the IAC. Two o-rings made it...
The girl is sitting on the side of the 15 in Southern California, and there will be no snowboarding for me. Looks like a radiator hose cracked and I lost most of my coolant driving down the freeway. Pulled over when I saw the CEL and noticed the temp gauge.
Just rebuilt the top end, brand new...
Hi all,
Been having some trouble sourcing some new O2 sensors for my truck post head gasket failure. They got all fouled up and are not responding properly.
Based on my order history for the truck, I thought I needed NTK 24044 and 24080.
I ordered both, and the NTK 24080 looks like the right...
Hi Mud,
I ended up getting the old 1fzfe rebuilt, and she is purring like new! No more burning oil! literally nothing visible out of the tailpipe. I am very happy.
But OF COURSE... a couple other things were broken during the process.
One that I cannot figure out, is why my CC light is...
Hey all,
Blew my headgasket. Took it to my shop, and they are telling me that the PO had machined the head down so far in the last rebuild, that it is unusable for this rebuild.
2k for the head, and then 800 for machining, the valve job, and and swapping cams and valves.
After labor, gasket...
Hi everyone.
I was sitting on the freeway on he way to work, and the CEL popped on and my idle went to s***. Low stumble. When I arrived, I popped the hood and found out that the fan shroud had somehow come in contact with the fan blade, and caused the fan to not spin. I am not sure how long it...
Hey everyone.
93 FZJ80, 260k.
This morning, I drove the truck 1 mile to a CVS, walked back out, and couldn't get it to start. CRANK CRANK CRANK but no start. After about an hour of waiting around, it started back up again. Since, it has been fine. Took it to Oreillys to do a load test on the...
Call or text at 7608221351. Only one I can find to purchase is the stupid yellow slee one that I don't like. If anyone has a used custom built one I'd love to buy it.
