    [3FE] Chasing a belt/pulley squeak after a radiator replacement

    Hey all, I recently had the radiator replaced on my FJ62 with a CSF unit at a shop near here. It’s been doing fine cooling wise but after some miles on the truck, it’s developed an intermittent squeak. My first thought was maybe the belt wasn’t tensioned right during reinstall, but it doesn’t...

    What's the solution for an NLA 3FE throttle control cable? PN: (78410-90A08)

    When I overhauled the TPS on my 3FE, I found some cable housing damage to the throttle control cable housing. When this area would kink, it would cause a variable throttle modulation, since the inner cable was pinched. I was able to bend the housing back a little and reposition it to allow...

    Kickdown cable seems to be going slack causing a 3k rpm shift point for 2nd gear

    I just replaced and adjusted the TPS on my 3FE and the kickdown behavior seems to have gotten worse after I put everything back together. 2nd gear is now shifting at 2500-3000rpm.

    When do you make the jump from all terrains to mud terrains?

    A few years ago, I had a shop replace the worn off brand 31" tires with Goodyear Trailrunner ATs 31"x10.5x15 (NTB - Tires & Routine Auto Maintenance - https://www.ntb.com/sku/sku5580492/wrangler-trailrunner-at) on the OEM rims.

    Right front Aisin hub is wrench turn only and likely not engaging. (FJ62)

    So the 4x4 system has never worked while I’ve owned this FJ62 and I had thought it did. So far I’ve had the hubs serviced, right side twice. Replaced the top vacuum actuator. Gotten the transfer case moving again by using a brake bleeding kit on the lines. As of now, no 4x4 light comes on in...

    How do I reattach my spare rim to the stock underbody spare tire holder?

    I've had a spare rim for my FJ62 for a while, but I've never put it on. I can't seem to budge whatever mechanism is supposed to hold the tire and rim in place. I've seen a few threads where folks have theirs on, but none on how it operates (and no OEM manual). How do I lower the bracket to hook...
