My truck was running great, brand new carb. I took it a step further and had the AC rebuilt. Now the AC works but my idle is crazy. Fast/Slow. The accelerator pedal actually moves up and down. Otherwise it's fine. Normal driving with the AC off is fine. Turn on the AC and all hell breaks...
My rear shock cross brace rusted out. While in the process of replacing it I had to shift the fuel lines. When doing so they suddenly went slack and I could tell something broke. Started the truck to test and sure enough I had gas pouring out from the top of the tank. I dropped the tank and...
I've been playing with my welder. This is my first attempt at any sort of body work. What's great about this red is that it matches primer. Topped with semi-gloss clear coat and it's good enough for me.
The offending spot, then the cleanup, new metal shaped and ready for welding.
Where does your negative battery terminal cable ground out?
My truck is acting funny. It will start up, run fine, and then when I turn it off it won't start back up. It's random too, it's not all the time. If I wait an hour or so it will start up again, or if I jump start the truck it will...
I put a brand new Pinnacle 3" suspension in a while back and my 87 is leaning pretty bad to the left. I switched the rears but it didn't help. I guess I have the famous lean, although I'm not sure why it would do this with a new suspension.
I'm spring under so I'm aware I can drop the high...
My truck overheats when wheeling in low gear. Otherwise it seems fine. New radiator, good hoses, etc.
I notice that my fan will spin freely when not running. It seems to spin when running but I'm wondering if that's just centrifugal. So, I'm thinking new fan clutch? Under load the engine...
87 FJ60, all smog equipment in place.
As you guys may have read I failed first try. It was running rich (high CO numbers). All I did was tune the carb per the engine manual (lean drop, idle and fast idle adjustment). Easy, takes all of 1-2 hours.
Some History:
This was my first inspection...
I have the strangest problem. When my 1987 FJ60 sits for a while it will start right up. It also usually runs fine and will start up and turn off in a typical day.
Occasionally (with increasing frequency), I will be driving and everyting seems fine. I park it, turn it off, come back maybe...
