This is the deal. I bought a 92 80 and it ran great (as far as 3fes go) brought it into Charleys in Boulder for my 60 or 70k service. They F-ed it up and didn"t get all the air out of the coolant system and as a result got an airlock got hot and blew the HG. Gave those saps the benefit of the...
The 60k service included a tranny flush and fill. Although I have read and heard some people say it may need to be flushed out a few times.
It looks sweet now since it blew the HG and had an inframe done by Charley's, I did it because of some unusual cylinder wall mirroring and not knowing the...
Just wondering why you are using the expensive gas? Even with advancing the timing, isn't it still a low compression engine?
I think your post has swayed me from the 4.56's to the 4.88's. Glad to hear how much more alive the mighty 3FE is.
I have searched on my question and only seem to find the common 2nd to 3rd slip problem. My question is when it is cold out at night and I go out the next morning should the tranny rev up to about 1300ish rpms before engaging when put in drive? It continues to do this for about eight blocks...
I'm over it! Thanks for your insight in this matter. If you would however look at the begining he offered zero help and left me hanging. He did however come back and post a link with what I was looking for.
Here's a smidge of humility- Thanks for the link!
Plus I am learning this site and all...

If he would of given me some help I would have said Thanks, but instead he responded like a pompus ass. I have pretty thick skin, it's just sarcasim doesn't always shine through in type.
A little bit of kindness goes alot further than having to show everyone that views this thread how big of an ass you are. I simply asked a question, that you did not have to respond to and could of kept going on with your pathetic little life. Also having to come back like more of an ass with...
I was wondering if anyone has had any idea if you can put a 5 speed or even a 4 speed manual in a an 80 series? I would appreciate any advice or comments anyone has.
Thanks.
Wondering why so many people bag on the 91 and 92 FJ80 with the 3FE? It's is a 4x4 for God's sake not a rocket or race car.It may have more ponies under the hood but it gets the same mpg. Also in regards to cost of ownership, look up how much more it is to have a HG done at a shop on a 4.0 vs a...
Hence the most! Your one of the lucky ones living up where all the action is. We own 5 acres just south of you in Valley of The Sun. Tons of great spots to go wheeling or just trail riding. Maybe go on a ride sometime
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my rig. I own a 92 FJ that is getting a complete overhaul due to a blown HG and work done from some mechanic at a honest harry's garage somewhere. The thing that sucks it only has 65k on it and I am dropping a ton of cash on this. The good news...
