Hi all,
Started in on a reseal of a spare steering gear only to find the bearing above the worm gear valve body destroyed. Found this old thread: Bad worm gear bearing - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/bad-worm-gear-bearing.254938/
And the damage is exactly the same as mine.
Local dealer can...
Kept this for a swap but I prefer the 60 dash:
Nearly complete Sepia Brown Dash set out of a 1989 FJ62. Metal has some scratches from keys and whatnot and bit of surface rust under the passenger side mount points.
Pad has one roundish crack about the size of a dime near the windshield as...
Is the recall replacement fuel tank the same part number between FJ60 and FJ62? Or did they each have their own recall replacements?
I had my tank replaced for the recall shortly after I bought my FJ60, probably 12 or more years ago? I’m wondering if it has the provisions for an in-tank fuel...
I’ll try to keep this fairly short as it’s nothing new around here. This rig is back on the road, though definitely needs some kinks worked out.
Long story short: I’ve owned this FJ60 since 2004. 2F had somewhere north of 300k miles on it and was getting tired. Rather than rebuild and the...
Anyone else with a Ranger OD have leakage problems? I didn’t figure on having to reseal this unit straight from the factory. Replaced the drain plug gasket as that’s where it is accumulating and resealed the full side plate. Still leaking pretty heavily looks like maybe from the front bearing...
Early GM NV4500 5-speed 4x4 tranny. 6.34 or so:1 first gear.
I bought this for a project and went a different route so I never ran it and can’t verify it’s performance. I do know that it will need a new shift tower as the PO (who did run it) used a breaker bar as a shift handle and beat a...
So, I’ve searched and tried the fixes that I’ve found posted so now coming for help and clarification.
82 FJ60 getting a 99 LM7. Alt is a cs144 4 pin connector but the stock harness has a single brown wire to the L terminal.
Bear in mind that I think my stock alt wiring was jacked!

looking for a diesel 60 series air cleaner assembly for an LS swap. Not sure of the differences between b and h motor cleaner assemblies? Need one with a round top exit tube.
I’m located in Oregon if it matters.
no, I really do know how to remove the shifter from the tranny!
What I need is help knowing how to break down the shifter itself. I have a replacement inner boot (the tower cover) but can’t figure out how to get the old off and the new on over the upper ridge or the lower ball. The shifter must...
Looking for those of you with Ranger torque splitters to post up how your shifter is routed to clear the tranny hump.
Where does it come up and what is done to get it there?
I bent and then cut and rewelded the bracket in order for it to come up parallel with the four speed shifter but feel...
Hey all you Stick shifting Vortec’ers, I need your tech advice.
I’m in the middle of 5.3L/Ranger OD/H41 swap. Using lt1swap.com instructions for redoing the wiring and had a question or two. He lists the TCC brake switch wire as an external connection but seeing as I don’t have a torque...
Yes, I know I don't need it but....
Putting a rear third in the front and wondering if I can leave the thrust block on the pinion shaft? My thinking is that this would allow the axle shafts to not drop into the differential if I don't put inner birf circlips on (or outer clips at the hub...
Man it's been forever since I've been on 'Mud but I need Mudiverse wisdom right now.
'82 FJ60 with stock Air Conditioning - still R12 as far as I know. It's worked great for ten solid years... until Monday. Started her up and got the A/C blowing while I got the kids ready to go. After the...
Well, I'm back from Boise finally, and for good this time. I've missed most of the hunting season cut-offs but still have the Coast Bull general seasons in November. I've never hunted in the Applegate unit (in fact, I'm pretty new to hunting at all). Any decent areas out there that folks...
Man, I missed out last week! Friday evening I drove past a furniture place in town that had an 89 isuzu NPR truck for sale. They wanted $2k for it. They were closed on Saturday and I left Sunday for Boise. Called today and they sold it yesterday for 1500. 175k miles on a 4bd1-t turbo...
I'd like to find the SSTs for 4-speed tranny bearing removal. Specifically the jaws for getting in behind the bearings in the case and the slide-hammer adapter for pulling the input shaft.
Thanks!
