    over-heating 60

    TETRA: I can't say that I have the same problems as you, but it sounds to me like you have an ailing (sp?) fan clutch. Turning on the heat will only help cooling issues for a limited time. Have you checked to ensure that you have proper belt tension on fan belt? I would go ahead and replace...

    Pilot bearing removal

    FJ40Mayo I just did a clutch job last month on my 60 and I asked the same question. I learned that there is more than one way to get this done. The flywheel must be removed to replace the pilot bearing, and I suggest to get it machined while its out.(~$40) Don't forget to mark the pressure...

    Possibly a Birfield Click??

    I am not a regualr PBB user and rarely ever venture over to POR. This is the only forum that I follow on a consistant basis. My problems are only minor and not a big deal, just aggravating at times. What can I say, it's raining here in Alabama on a Wednesday and I had to have something to...

    Possibly a Birfield Click??

    Hey Woody, I know this is not the right forum or thread, but since I started it I guess it is allright to Hi-jack it, Right?? At work, where I am at now, it takes a good 10-20 seconds or more to go from page to page. I know this was discussed earlier, but have you gotten any body fired over...

    Possibly a Birfield Click??

    Woody, Thanks for the reply. As I "slept on it" last night I thought about jacking up the driver's side and trying to manipulate the clicking by hand. With the hubs locked and in 4lo, would I have to jack up the whole axle or just the DS(open diff) to turn the wheel?? I'll try that some...

    Possibly a Birfield Click??

    Hey guys, Was out just goofing off a few minutes ago on some dirt/gravel roads and something caught my ear when in 4lo. (87 FJ60) When making a left turn to do a complete 360 degree turn-around (tight radius, but not turned all the way to the lock) I heard a ??metallic?? clicking from...

    The Classic FJ60 "Stumbling/Hesitating Acceleration/Running Problem

    60Wag: It would be great if you could post some pics/diagrams. All I have is a Hayne's Manual. ??? While it is good for general info and the emmisions sections is fairly impressive, it lacks the specific info/diagrams (for the 2F ) needed to pinpoint this problem. I guess I need to get off...

    The Classic FJ60 "Stumbling/Hesitating Acceleration/Running Problem

    VTcruiser: Great post man! I have the same problems with my 87 FJ60 which has 203,000 mi. I have made similar posts in the past here with no definitive answers. What's the deal?(no offense to this board, but surely someone has a answer) The old post from SOR pretty much nailed it--> a very...

    Installing steering dampner

    If you're lucky enough to have access to an air compressor, a pickle fork on an air hammer works wonders. Air tools=less sweat and swearing :D :D

    FJ60 rear main seal

    There is no need to pull the bell housing to replace the rear main seal. I just did a clutch job on my 87 FJ 60 and could not convince myself to change the rear main. The OEM seal looked immacualte and the replacement I had was of far lesser quality. It was a tuff choice to make, but so far...

    Name that sound!

    Matt: What year/series Cruiser do you have? Only makes noise when turning right? I have an 87 FJ 60 that will make a type of "clicking" noise sometimes that IS the brake pads moving around and contacting the rotor. If your pads do not have the anti-rattle springs (as mine do not) that...

    92 80 Oil Cooler hose ???'s

    That is a really sweet looking ride you've got there. I can't wait to get some 33's. Pretty sure I'll go with the BFG ATKO as well. I'm curious if they make a 33x11.50x15?? I can't tell by the picture, Are you running the original 15" wheels? (if not, what are they) Once again, great looking...

    92 80 Oil Cooler hose ???'s

    Thanks for all of the replies. Phaedrus: I know a very trust worthy local independent Toyota certified mechanic. He has done some work for me in the past and he is a A+ professional. So, I'll just let him adjust the valves and replace the gasket. The thought of fooling with all of those...

    92 80 Oil Cooler hose ???'s

    Hey guys: I was changing the oil in my 92 FJ 80 (203k mi) this weekend and I noticed something very scary. While cleanig off the oil spill from the oil filter that leaked on the oil cooler, I noticed that the hose (coolant) going into the oil cooler was detriorated (sp?) to the point it would...
