A few weeks ago a squeak/chirp started coming from the engine bay in the circled area. I believe it's coming from the air pump related to the emissions set up...though I'm not absolutely sure.
I don't believe it's the belt because the squeak/chirp is too frequent and I've lubricated the belt...
Just reassembled both hubs with fresh bearings and grease. One hub is 12lbs to roll forward, the other is close to 14lbs to roll forward.
Is this difference in “rolling resistance” within spec or do I need to make more adjustments?
A) 167.8 - B) 165 = total adjusting shim thickness of 2.8 mm.
Isn’t this too much? When I subtract the lower bearing shim thickness the upper thickness will be something like 2.4 mm. That’s almost every shim in the rebuild kit. Races are seated. Preload is 5 lbs. What am I missing...
Opinions:
Before I move forward with this knuckle rebuild, I want to understand if there’s an issue here. Ordered 084-101b, disc brake bearing kit (‘75-‘79) and Specter sent 084-101c (‘79-‘90).
I called and told them the spindle bushing is different from what I took off for the rebuild (‘78...
Anyone have one or similar where they’d be amicable to loaning/renting out? Pulling bushings from steering knuckle spindle from ‘78 front axle. I’d pay shipping both ways.
Never done a knuckle rebuild but I’d have to guess the inside of the axle housing shouldn’t look boogered up and scarred.
The axle is supposedly a ‘78. This is the driver’s side and i had absolute hell getting the knuckle bearings off the bearing caps.
All that to say…
Shouldn’t the inside...
Anyone have experience with LandCruiser Specialist out of Austin, Texas? Austin is about 4 hours from me.
Was looking at Red Line Land Cruisers out of Colorado Springs but transport costs (almost 4k total to/from) from my location eats in to a good chunk of my budget.
1F compression test. 114k on odo.
Cyl 1 - 110 psi
Cyl 2 - 108 psi
Cyl 3 - 101 psi
Cyl 4 - 111 psi
Cyl 5 - 114 psi
Cyl 6 - 120 psi
If I read it correctly, 150 psi is what it should read with a minimum of 128 psi.
I didn’t get a chance to perform the troubleshooting of determining if it was...
Weird title I know…heater leaking heat.
When the heater lever is in the off position or in the vent position, warm air is still leaking out and warm days are made warmer due to this leakage.
Is this to be expected? Or do I have a leaking valve somewhere?
SOR - NO
Cool Cruisers - NO
EBAY - NO
CityRacerLLC - NO
CruiserCorp - NO
Anyone know a source? Ever fabricated one? Do I gotta buy a whole assembly? I can piece (kinda) the rotted gasket back together but probably should have asked this question before I pulled the lens
Recently the choke has become excessively hard to pull.
Would it be the carb causing this or friction from the cable? What would be some troubleshooting steps I could take to see the cause?
And what would be the appropriate part number if for a ‘74 if I needed to get a new one?
Turned key off and immediately heard this tone. This is the second time I’ve noticed it. Same pitch both times. Duration was similar. Had enough time to get phone out and select voice recorder and catch almost 30 seconds of audio. The tone/whistle is a straight up B at 1000 hrtz.
I’ve...
So, didn't have a whole lot of luck finding the proper gear oil I need to use in the overdrive unit is. Anyone have this information. I have a "fitting instruction" manual but it doesn't reference lubrication.
Anyone have the whole electrical diagram labeled like this? Or something similar. I have the black and white but only the bottom 70% of this drawing. Super useful but need the whole thing.
This is the gas tank tray and there is some surface rust starting. One of the PO's used silicone to mount some carpet strips. I purchased the rubber pads and I'd like to treat it before the tank goes back in cause I'd prefer not pull it back out if I can help it. I don't really care that it...
I have ’78 front axle with the disc with ‘74 stock rear drums. Master cylinder is aftermarket, but assuming it’s a OE replacement.
Having a MC designed for front/rear drums, what adjustments do I need to make for the front discs from the ’78 front axle? Upgrade MC to 75-80? Proportioning...
Tried connecting reservoir motor to the factory connection and assumed turning the wiper knob to the right would activate the motor but nothing happened. Wipers work, just no spray. Unclear if it’s the sprayer pump or power to the pump. The multimeter didn’t show power. Is there small fuse...
