    Brake lines or master cylinder?

    Thank you all for the feedback. I'll do what I can to hunt this leak out and report back. I own the FSM for my truck and definitely referred to it, but, as I mention in my original post, without having someplace to really dig in (other than the street), I am limited as to how far I can go in...

    Brake lines or master cylinder?

    Weird story, but I'll proceed. On Thanksgiving night, I had my FJ62 broken into. They damaged the lock cylinders on the hatch and the driver-side door, and eventually entered by breaking the rear, driver-side door window. Long story,short, I booked an appt with A Touch of Glass for the window...

    Brake knock then loss of pressure

    The posts on Gotham were fine. I just wanted a broad spectrum of responses, so I posted here too. Ended up taking to Meineke and getting front and rear work done. Better safe than sorry.

    Starter symptoms

    Simple, huh? I hear you, but I can't see you (as we say in NYC). Meaning- it does sound simple, but when I think of tracing the multitude of cables in the wire harness that attaches to the starter, I really don't know where to begin. This is a daily driver for me, so I don't have the luxury...

    Starter symptoms

    Bought used '89 fj62 in 2004. In 2005, replaced starter with green machine starter, as original starter seemed to be showings signs of failing. Green machine starter lasted from 06 to this summer. I replaced it with a cheap auto-zone remanufactured starter that seems to be faulty, but passes...
