After driving around yesterday, I noticed a diesel fuel smell and checked under the hood. The injection pump had fresh fuel all around the output fuel line flanges. I put a wrench on them and they were all tight. That’s the question; why would they leak all of a sudden when they were nice and...
After rejoicing that all the various leaks had been solved, another depressing wet spot was noticed after a drive recently. I‘ve replace the rear main seal, the oil pan seal, the side cover seals. I’ve had multiple fuel injectors serviced (lapped) to resolve fuel leaks at the injectors. So, it...
After debating which way to go to get power steering in this truck, I decided to go in the electronic direction. Mainly, I wanted it to be easy for “me” to install. Some of the welding needed for the Saginaw conversion, I couldn’t do with my welder. And there are other issues with the hydraulic...
These power steering parts were assembled some time ago and are no longer needed. They were from a 1980’s 60 series I was told. The bracket mounts off the motor mount area, front lower right under the injection pump on my diesel Troopy. It was sold to me as rebuilt. It comes with pulleys...
This comes from my 1981 HJ 47. The transmission is in excellent working order. It comes with the top plate and shifter assembly. I did new gaskets when I did the restoration. It needs nothing but gaskets now when the transfer case is re-installed. For left hand drive installation, the shifter...
These 4 flanges came off a ‘’81 HJ47. We did a 5 speed swap and had to change to a newer flange. These have a 60mm x 70mm bolt spacing while the newer flanges are 65mm X 65mm spacing. Looking for $125 plus shipping.
I’ve got almost everything completed on my 5 speed swap on my1981 HJ47. But before I install the newly modified drive shafts, I wanted to make sure the 5 speed shifts correctly, knowing that the shifter assembly (top cover) needs to be installed with the shift forks properly engaged. The...
This kit comes from TSM MFG and has never been used. Upon installation it was apparent it wouldn’t work on my Troopy. Fuel tank and upper crossmember interference issues. $400 new, will sell for $250.00. Everything that came with the kit is included including instructions. This is for a split...
After a few years of procrastination, I’ve finally swapped the H41 out for a new H55F (1981 HJ47). Not without multiple issues. Even though I’ve rebuilt a couple of transfer cases in the past. This one wasn’t as simple. First attempt to fit the transfer case while under the truck was...
This truck had its restoration documented here (Tearing down my HJ47 Troopy), and its been a blast to own and drive. But all good things run their course. I need a new project and want someone else to enjoy this beast. I don’t have to sell her but space is limited and the next project needs the...
Since retiring recently, I’ve decided to start a new project build. Problem is, the Troopy will have to fund it.
With no idea what a fair price is for this truck, I come here again for advice. I documented the entire restoration here (Tearring down myHJ47 Troopy). It’s been a great truck and I...
I just had to replace a seal in one of my twin fuel filters and afterwords I'm seeing fuel leak out one of the injectors. I'm wondering if me not bleeding the first injector is causing the leak. Anyone have this problem before. I know air in the system is bad, but I bled the system at the fuel...
My 81 HJ47 has developed a leak at the transfer case output seal. I installed a speedy sleeve and new seal. It still leaks. I did see here somewhere that if the output shaft has any play in it, I have a bearing going south and that's why it won't seal. Any confirmation on this. Or any other...
I've looked here on the site and haven't seen anything that yet solves my problem. My 1981 HJ47's fuel gauge just all of a sudden stopped working. It reads as if it 's dead empty. I pulled the sending unit out and it reads correctly on the ohm meter. I thought I didn't have voltage at the...
This is the second thread on my truck, the other thread stopped working?? Anyway, for those who saw the other thread, don't let this confuse you. It's the same red 88 FJ62 with the 5.3 Vortec in it. I'm going to provide a youtube video via email to anyone interested. The price is $3800 firm and...
The truck for sale is my daily driver and has been since I bought it in 2008. I had it converted to the 5.3 Vortec soon after I drove it home from St. Louis Mo. I realized my original Toyota motor with 240000 miles was spent and underpowered. The prospect of rebuilding a 160 HP (at most)...
My Hj47 front doors won't close now after new paint and new weather stripping. Has anyone had this issue after getting the doors repaired and re-installed? The hinges are in but not tightened, so I can adjust them. But even with the door just held up to the door opening, the weather stripping...
I just rebuilt the transfercase in my Troopy and within 2 weeks my transfercase in my 62 went out. By that I mean it made a loud metalic bang sound; the truck didn't slow down or stop, but when i got to the house, fluid was coming out of the case. On inspection i found a crack in the case near...
I got my pump back from the shop and am ready to reinstall it. I now realise the manual suggested marking the gear positions before removal of the pump. I wrongly thought the numbered stampings would be easy to re-align. It seems that I can't get the three gears to all line together. If I get 2...
I just got my head back from the machine shop and I see that the head has a kangaroo stamped on it. Is that a Toyota thing because a lot of these trucks were sent to Australia? All you diesel guys probably know this, but I'm new to the diesel world.
