    Has anyone disassembled a glow plug relay?

    My glow plug relay not working properly and I'm trying to get it apart so I can repair it. I've got a new one on the way but it could take a couple weeks to arrive. I've drilled out the peened dimple near the seam, and I've tried to open the seam with a little cold chisel, but it doesn't seem...

    2H and 3B - Who has replaced Superglow with Wilson Switch and for what reason?

    I'm curious what reasons people have had for replacing their super glow- I get it that when one can replace a malfunctioning timer module worth over $500 with a $10 switch, it is a likely outcome. I'm curious to know what parts of the glow system fail and then tip people over the edge into The...

    2H Superglow Glow plug problem -6 good plugs yesterday- 6 burned out today-1 melted!

    I replaced all my Glow plugs a couple of months ago. Toyota/NipponDenso OEM 14v plugs, which are correct for the 24 volt Superglow system. They have been working perfectly until this morning, when I went to start the truck and it wouldn't catch on turning over. After going through the rest of...

    Denso Glow plugs? (Not Nippon Denso)

    It's time for another round of glow plugs, and things are getting rarer and more expensive for plugs for a 24 volt 1986 HJ60 with Superglow. ( Uses 14volt plugs) My original plugs were Nippon Denso 067100-1460 which are OEM Toyota 19850 68060. Seem hard to find on line. Last time I went...

    Size of front driveshaft slip yoke grease plug?

    The grease plug that fills the end of the front drive shaft is missing from my truck and I'd like to replace it. This is the plug that protects the driveshaft slip joint from water and dirt and also lets you grease the slip joint using the grease zerk. Without the plug, grease pumped into the...

    Turbo and exhaust bends question

    So I've had an AXT Turbo on my 2H for about 4 years, and after having 4 exhaust systems rot out in the 9 years I've had my truck, I decided to make up a stainless steel exhaust. When I first put the turbo on (4 years ago) , I made a 2.5" steel pipe exhaust (no muffler) that worked quite nicely...

    Rear brakes auto adjusting too much - hot dragging brake

    So i recently decided to replace everything in the rear brakes. My toyota drums were at the wear limit, so I got new wheel cylinders, new drums, new shoes and new spring kits. The brakes were working fine, but I was replacing the front pads and decided to refresh the entire brake system...

    1986 CDN 24volt Superglow 2H-Difference between the Glow Plug Resistor and Glow Current sensor ?

    So the Glow Plug Resistor and the Glow Plug Current Sensor (which sit side by side on the intake manifold connected by a complicated nest of wiring and busbars) were removed from the truck and I can't tell which is which. One has writing on the shaft the other seems blank. Their size and...

    Advice on low compression in one cylinder HJ60

    Hey Y'all, I'm trying to figure out my next move on my truck. 328,000 kilometers on the clock and I have 240 PSI in cylinder 5. (wet test 280 PSI) All the other cylinders are 440, 420,420,400, and 380. So I'm at half compression on one cylinder and the wet test indicates that it's probably a...

    How long do 2H Alternator Oil supply/drain hoses last?

    Hi all, Looking at my engine hoses and all have been replaced except for the ones with special ends - the power steering hoses and the Alternator oil supply and drain hoses. My truck is 1986 and 320,000 km and I'm wondering whether its time to replace them. They look fine, and sometimes in...

    Rear wheel arch repair panels - Rust repair

    I've done some research on patch panels, as the lip of both my rear wheel wells rots off. The truck's inner panels have been oiled for years so the rot doesn't go too deep, but the entire lip needs replacing. I've got a good welder lined up to do the welding, but I'm having a bit of a time...

    How long do Glow plugs generally last?

    I did a substantial search and got all kinds of answers. One person was sure that their glow plugs lasted 25 years! I'm curious to know what my a new set might last and whether I should stock up on replacements before the plugs get discontinued... For people that have replaced multiple...

    How many Glow Plugs does it take to..?

    How many Glow Plugs does it take to start a 2H properly? My truck suddenly started cold starting very rough, with clouds of white smoke and coughing and bucking for about 3 or 4 minutes. As soon as it's warm, it's totally fine. It also starts up fine after an hour or so parked after its been...

    HJ 60 Brake issue:How much vacuum from pump??

    When I really have to stomp the brake pedal, it goes hard. For normal braking it seems to work OK. Apparently this means that my vacuum pump is dying or leaking. The connections seem good and there is a bit of suction when I pull a hose off, but not much, so: 1 Does anyone know how many...

    E-brake Freezing / Icing

    Hi All, I often go up the mountain from sea level (above freezing) and park while skiing.(below freezing temp) If I set my e-brake it will freeze by the time I get back. I can release it by kicking the cable that goes wheel to wheel at the back. I suspected water in the cable that goes...

    New Turbo on 2H causes several oil leaks?

    This is kind of a take-off of my other active thread about a timing cover oil leak, which obviously does not have a provocative enough title I've installed a turbo on a 2H with about 280,000 kilometers on it. Not tons of mileage as far as the 2H goes. Since the install, (fuel turned up 1...

    2H Timing cover oil leak questions

    I've developed an oil leak on the timing cover of my 2H. Looking at the Service manual, there is a gasket on the block, a 2 inch metal housing that surrounds the timing gears and then another gasket and then the timing cover itself. I seem to have oil coming out of both gaskets. I thought...

    Recommend cable puller/hand winch/Come along?

    After an adventure on the weekend where I proved that off camber roads, ice and autolockers don't mix well, I've decide to pick up a couple of hand cable pullers. I looked at Home Depot and Canadian tire, and saw winches for $30 to $60 that look like they will probably fragment and kill anyone...

    Ebrake cable freezing (as in ice)

    Hi All, wondering if anyone has run across this problem and fixed it. My rear drum bellcranks are working and the drums themselves aren't freezing. The cable that goes from the hand lever to the split cable on the rear diff is definitely freezing- which means - I assume- that there is water...

    Removing inner oil seal on wheel bearing.

    A tiny public service announcement for those who you need to remove the rear oil seal behind the inner wheel bearing on the front wheel hub. If you don't mind destroying the seal, a t-puller or similar device is all you need. If you have put your new seal in and you realize that you've...
