Good Morning Folks! I'm having a starting issue that's driving me crazy, and maybe you fine folks with your big brains can help.
I cannot start my truck (RHD, 1HD-T) with the key. I can sometimes (50% of the time) start it by connecting a jumper wire from the LH battery (+) to the starter (via...
The 71 never came with a rear seatbelt, but the 74 did. I'd like to know if the frame of the 71 lines up with where the rear seatbelt would be like the 74 does (and how it connects and all that jazz). Can anyone confirm that is definitely does it does not? Has anyone tried this before?
Thanks!
Just throwing this out there in the slim chance someone's got one. Ended up with the two rear shocks and a single front shock. Lead times from what I've seen are 6 weeks minimum from vendors, so maybe the stars can align and I can get one sooner.
Thanks!
I previously posted a similar thread here, but didn't realize it wasn't in the diesel/24v forum, so I'm reposting here with updated information. By the end, you'll realize how absent-minded I am.
So, I made a bonehead move and washed my engine bay without disconnecting the batteries. I only...
Okay, like a dummy, I was washing down my engine at the carwash and realized I didn't disconnect my batteries. I realized this after I heard a pop from the auxiliary outlet. A fuse blew, but it's the aux outlet, so I wasn't worried about it. When starting the truck, I heard a buzzing sound right...
I'm rebuilding my knuckles and found one of the lower studs has broken off inside and I can't remove it. Does anyone in the Denver area have a spare knuckle for the left hand side they'd be willing to part with? This is my daily, so I'm trying to get this done today. Sigh. Any help or advice...
I tried looking for this, but want having any luck; most posts I found were very old. My washer fluid just basically dumps onto the ground and I think it's the headlight washer check valve(s). Can someone help me with the part number and maybe where to get new ones?
1993 HDJ81
Thanks for any help!
So I replaced my ignition (got the sweet OEM because they smell better), but it still doesn't want to shift from park, and a good bit of things don't work (blinkers, windows, battery/tach gauge, interior AC fan). Some stuff still works (radio, headlights, antenna, power mirrors, locks).
I've...
So I parked my truck the other day and when I came out, I couldn't turn the key. I tried EVERYTHING. The steering wheel was locked, so that didn't help. I'm not super sure what's up, but I think it's either the ignition cylinder is broken or my key is just too worn out. I'm hesitant to think...
While I was researching what other people have done for sleeping platforms in the back of their 80 series, I noticed a lot of pictures of builds. Many people asked for dimensions or drawings, but it seemed no one really made any.
So I'm sharing my blueprints for the way I've decided to go. I've...
Hi All,
Whelp, I just got a HDJ81 and for me, it's a first for LCs and diesels. It's stock as of now, but I'm looking to make a list of the changes I'd like to make. I'd like to take care of important things first and it's been suggested I get an EGT gauge/pyrometer to monitor those temps and...
