    LJ78 | 2LTE Engine Mount Replacing

    I have a question with regards to replacing the engine mounts on my LJ78 | 2LTE. Do I need to remove the mounting bracket (4 bolts) indicated with the red arrow from the engine or is removing the 3 bolts enough to remove the mount? Are there any other considerations I need to consider before...

    LJ78 | Engine light flashes vigorously when ignition is on.

    I had the strangest thing happening this evening. As I drove, the volt meter started jumping a bit and all of a sudden the engine light came on (few random blinks, almost like a electrical short occurred). I ended up shutting down the engine, and then the following happened when I started the...

    I have a question regarding the method used for checking the transmission oil level in a LJ78. Is this done with the engine hot and running or engine off and hot? Keen to get your thoughts on this as I am getting inconsistent readings after I swapped the transfer case.

    2LTE TPS | LJ78 Calibration

    I have noticed a change in my idling speed and it fluctuates up and down between 900 and 1500 rpm depending on engine temperature and run time. If I am not mistaken, I believe the culprit may be the TPS. I had to remove the housing twice when I did the glow plugs and injectors, including...

    Quick question - how easy is it to remove the LJ78 transfer case on an automatic? Can the case be removed as one single unit? I have seen a YouTube video where the guy ended up removing the front section of the case, including the gears in order to remove the case. The FSM instructions seems...
