    ‘89 FJ62 power steering wuestion

    While desmoging and fixing a timing plate oil leak, I discovered a leaking power steering hose so replaced both hoses to and from pump. I’ve got the truck back together enough to start the engine and check for leaks. My question-do I need to do anything other than fill the PS reservoir (and...

    3F-E timing cover backing plate-do all the bolts come off?

    Hey!! Back at my oil leak project. My leak appears to be behind the timing cover backing plate right above where the oil pan joins the block on the drivers side. Hopefully what I’ll find when I remove backing plate is a gap in the gasket. My question to all of those in the know-based on the...

    3FE Harmonic balancer groove

    Hey! Working on a timing cover leak and got the harmonic balancer and timing cover off. Serious groove in the HB. Big ding (looks like pliers?) on the lip of the seal well. Searching other threads says the HB can be re-sleeved? I’ve found a new Dayco HB online for $200. Thoughts? Motor has...

    Truck felt soft and bouncy this am after some forest service road exploring at week. A quick peek underneath shows both bottom shock mounts swinging freely. Looks like the welded female sleeve broke off the leaf spring bracket on both. Suggestions on replacement or fix? I found some used...

    Aftermarket charcoal canister and air intake bellows hose?

    I’m gathering parts in anticipation of cleaning up air intake, general tune-up and (hopefully) de-smog on my 1989 FJ62. It looks like the air intake hose with the “bellows” has a tear in it. Is there an aftermarket hose that folks have found works? OEM appears difficult to find. Charcoal...

    '89 FJ62 fuel vapor collector line to engine

    When I purchased this truck the plastic fuel vapor collector in the back was missing and the PO had taken all the vent lines and "t" them all together. One of the "t"s had an open end and of course fuel vapor vented into the interior. I've since purchased and installed the OEM plastic collector...
