    Cruiser-Friendly Dallas Mechanics

    I can't find the sticky thread for this and I remembered it being pretty out of date the last time I checked. I've got a 1989 FJ62 leaking lots of coolant, probably blew a hose on the water pump from the looks of it. I don't have the time right now to dig that far into the engine (especially...

    Where's that AC fan?

    My AC fan in my 62 went out slowly on my way to work today. Could be a number of things but since it died slowly I'm thinking the fan just died so I'll try a replacement. Where is this thing? Under the hood, under the dash, behind the dash?

    Identifying thread type/size

    I bought these Metric-to-AN adapters so I could fabricate a hose to replace the transmission cooler lines in my FJ62: One side is 14mm x 1.5 and fits the truck, and the other is -6 AN and fits the hose ends. But they seem identical, and both seem to fit the hose end snugly. How can I tell...

    Quick question about replacing valve cover gasket

    Lots of oil leaking from the base of the valve cover. Hoping I can just fix it with a gasket replacement. Dumb question, though: do I need to drain the oil first or can I just pop this thing off if the engine is cold?

    Understanding the power steering pressure hose

    My FJ62's power steering pressure hose has blown. I'm looking at the oem parts diagram, which looks like this: the steering pressure line is marked with a "60". But the replacement on SOR looks like this: Why only one line on the replacement? What's the similar line just behind the one...

    Tips on fabricating transmission cooler lines

    My front soft transmission cooler lines on my FJ62 are on their way out. I need to get them replaced asap or I'm afraid I might break a line on a long drive and get into trouble. Thinking about replacing all 4 while I'm at it. Not surprisingly I can't find new ones anywhere. Looks like people...

    Mystery wheel sludge

    My power steering went out a couple of weeks ago on my FJ62 on the way to the transmission shop. Figured I blew a seal or hose. Transmission guys found a corroded hose but just did the transmission work. I get it back from the transmission shop and take it to a repair shop. When they put it up...

    Power Steering Trouble

    I had to take a hard left turn in a parking lot, then immediately smelled what must be power steering atf. Seeing it under my left front wheel well. Power steering is now almost gone or entirely gone. Can anyone tell me exactly what I've done here?

    Transmission Rebuild Cost

    The transmission on my FJ62 is going out. Won't shift into 3rd, or into reverse. I've done the usual: Rodney Flush, new filter, throttle cable measurements, Party Trick (woohoo!), and still it's no better. A local and sufficiently reputable transmission repair shop is quoting me $2485 for a...

    Need some advice from Party Trick people

    Wrestling with my transmission for awhile. Now it slips between 2nd and 3rd, never finds 3rd, just revs pretty high. I have to drive to work in 2nd. Not too bad actually, 2500 rpm will get you about 30-35 mph. I've done the Rodney Flush and checked the throttle cable. Nowhere to go from here...

    On the side of the road: transmission trouble

    Halfway between Austin and Dallas. FJ62 won't leave 2nd (or 1st?) gear. Ideas?

    Wanted  Full lock set FJ62

    I need a full set of locks, ignition, and keys for an FJ62, including left/rightdoor locks, rear door lock, ignition, fuel door lock, and glove box lock.

    How do new locks work?

    Well it finally happened, my lone car key broke of in my FJ62's ignition. I can find lock sets online in a few different places (1, 2, 3), but you buy them all separately, so I don't understand how that works. If I buy 5 different locks they're going to have 5 different keys. Also I see that...

    FJ62 ATF: Where's the rear cooler line?

    Prepping to do a Rodney Flush on my FJ62, but what/where exactly is the "rear cooler line"?

    FJ62 Auto Trans Question

    So my 62 has had trouble moving from 2nd to 3rd gear, so I assumed that my transmission was going out, but after 10 minutes of driving, it switches perfectly fine without issues. Is this typical of a dying transmission, or is there something else going on?

    How much to tighten hose clamps?

    I remember someone posting about this, but can't find the thread. I'm replacing all the radiator/coolant hoses, and replacing the hose clamps while I'm at it. I've been using the Specter clamps. My problem is that I've been stripping a lot of these clamps. I don't feel like I'm tightening all...

    Last water pump impediment

    Trying to pull my water pump out, and I'm down to one last blocker. I can't figure out how get it around this pulley arm. How much of the whole a/c compressor mount has to come out and what do I need to do to remove it? The FSM doesn't really mention this part and I'm stumped. FJ62.

    Hose identification, FJ62

    I finally made it down to the leaky hose I was looking for, and it wasn't included in the hose kits I purchased. Can anyone identify this short hose hanging off the bottom of the water pump?

    Water Pump Swap, FJ62, General Advice Before Beginning

    Had some serious overheating happening on the way to work a few weeks ago. By the time I realized it and got stopped, the temp gauge must have been pegged for 10 minutes. Wheezing and hissing coming from under the hood. Leaking coolant. Now any coolant added to the system with the engine off...

    Name that hose...

    Anyone know what these two hoses coming off the thermostat (touching my fingers) are called? I thought they would be included in Cool Cruisers' radiator hose kit, but they were not. I have to replace them asap. On an FJ62.
