Hi me again :)
What throtle cable are you all using for a vortec swap into a fj40. The cable that came with the new foot peddle is WAY to short.
Thanks again
Me again :)
Ok I have just about got the 1996 5.7 with a 4l60e fitting into the fj40.
What kind of light is needed for the service engine light ? will any 12v bulb/socket work ?
My funds ran a bit short so for now I am not doing power stearing. What is the best way to leave the...
I am about to drop my 1996 vortec with a 4l60e auto back into the fj40 and the one pc cable that I had on the 4 speed was fairly tight and I really doubt it will work with the combo I am installing. I would rather change it now. The cable on there is already in bad shape than after I drop it...
What is involved in removing the output shaft of a 4 speed ? I have the engine trans and tc out And all seperate. Anyone have details :) or a place to find the diagrams on how do disasemble the trans
thanks

Not that I like to say this but I am 6'2" weigh in at 270 lbs with a 39" waist. Should I get the baja SS seats or the Baja ultra SS in wide ? What about the Mastercraft ?
They will be going in a fj40.
Thanks for any help.

DOH!!!!
What have I started. I just placed the order from my 5.7 1997 vortec compleate take out. I just could not let my nephew out do me :) he ordered a 351 winsor <how ever its spelled :)> for the 71 bronco rustbucket he is rebuilding. I would say restoring but that would be taking it back...
if its a chevy you will most likly have to have the eprom of the computer reflashed or use a "power programer" like hypertech but they will not get you much :(. Now a reflash on the computer you can get mild to wild. I would recomend going with someone that dyno tunes so you can get what is...
the short wheel base of a 40 along with the springs makes for the harsh ride. I don't think shocks are going to help. you might try new springs but till they are broken in its going to be harsh.
not sure abour your truck but my 1970 fj40's transfer case was "stuck" I could pull bang beat on the stick and it would not budge.
Soooo I used the old school method. I pulled on the stick while my bro was under the truck tapping with a hammer. It poped free after a couple of whacks and has...
I found it in a local paper. Its one of those too good to be true things and I am very leary of the deal.
Without the computer I cant start it to check compretion or see if it sounds like a junk heap. Any ideas on what to look at or check. I figure take a plug wrench and pull them and worry if...
