Hey I’m just wondering what is an acceptable amount of air to be blowing out of the oil filler hole. This is a 3b diesel. Mine seems to have a fair bit, but it’s done it since I bought it 6 years ago. I want to say it feels like a hair dryer but it’s not nearly that high, maybe like a heat gun...
Thought I would share this as well, hopefully it helps. Pretty easy fix that anyone can do.
For a few weeks I had the odd intermittent issue of the starter not turning. There would be a loud audible click from the solenoid activating the gear pushing out, but no crank. A simple fix always...
I figured I would share my experience for future people with the same issue, as all my problems are common they just all happened to me at once.
Originally a few weeks ago the heater worked fine when suddenly I lost speeds 1-2. 3-4 worked fine so I just left it as a future me problem. Later when...
The little tombstone shape door locks in my bj60 rattle incessantly. Drives me nuts:bang:
Has anyone figured out how to tighten them up? Wedging folded paper in against them works for a while.
Any luck with this? I was just searching this issue and I’m amazed to find such a recent post.
Mine seems to rattle inside as well. It’s not the knob but more like linkages. Also it only does it in 5th gear.
I can grab the shifter and with pressure in one direction or another it reduces but I...
Ok just for all who might look at this in the future… I’m not sure what went wrong but something in my superglow system failed. When I turned the key to on I was getting full battery12v to the glow plugs without the relay going on, and it wouldn’t turn off until the key was off. So my no start...
So I just followed I think Greg’s Wilson switch instructions where I ran power off the glow light to a NO push button and then down to the higher voltage side of my superglow harness, as well as a line going to the glow light which the other side goes to ground.
Superglow system is still...
I was told the newer bosch replacements specifically don’t screw down.
I’ll have to look into injectors soon, I wonder how much improvement that would make
Ok update: after checking glow plugs the other day (all 10.5, tested ok) I must have put the bus bar back on them poorly somehow, I was getting voltage at the little L shaped arm that connects to glow #4, but not down the rest of the line. Took it apart last night, sanded all connections and put...
My thought is injectors. My mechanic said they were not in the best shape. I’ve been waiting on wife approval to do a turbo set up and I’ll replace them then. Until then I’ll search for air leaks and maybe do a Wilson switch.
The fact that it didn’t start last night bothers me because it has...
Yeah I think the two glow plugs that burnt out may have been different than the other two, they might have been 6v. I can’t remember changing any but possibly the other two burnt out months earlier and I replaced them with 10.5. I really can’t remember why I had two different plugs in there...
ok after doing some research and some testing I think my problem is unique enough to warrant a new post. since last summer my bj60 12v 3b has been starting really rough. takes a couple times letting the glow plugs warm up for a good 10 seconds or more and a couple tries of turning it over for...
So my edic controller is cycle clicking causing the motor to hiccup, except mine only does this when the driving lights are turned on. How would those two be connected? What should I be looking for here?
hey there, a new problem just came up on my land cruiser, 84 bj60. its an interesting one that i think will be easy to fix. first time driving it in the dark for a little while, I turn on the lights and I hear this relay in the right side kick panel clicking for a second and then off for a few...
Yeah the oil in the transfer case was clean, took the inspection plate off and the gears had no play, looked solid. Only The transmission had glitter in it. My guess is the bearings have some wear creating some play, I just changed the oil to mt90 and some Lucas oil stabilizer. I’ll keep my ears...
I just phoned Lucas oil and they said their oil stabilizer is safe for yellow metals, no sulfer additives.
Their gear oils however are not safe just fyi
