Valves recently adjusted. AM I interpreting the vaccum literature incorrectly? Will the idle ocsillate like I've described with a vaccum leak, inother words, do you actualy hear a surging sound in the idle when there is a vaccum leak.
wondering whats left
Hi
I am in need of two OEM brake rotors. Are they still available and what would the cost be? What would you want for shipping

Any thoughts?
I have a 1983 FJ60 (not sure how long ago the carb was rebuilt but was told it was, maybe 5 years)
I live at 7,000 feet
idles rough, it seems fine then 4 seconds later drops idle (sounds like idle drops as if compressor comes on or something similar) and then is rough for 4 or...
Question: The previous owner installed drilled rotors on my 83 FJ60. Why do they get warped so quickly. I had them turned and within a month or two they are shaking me to pieces again; the backs are adjusted correctly.
thanks for your feedback.

noise
thanks for all the input. I have had the disks replaced and the wheels are all ok. I like the idea of jacking it up and listening, Ill give it a try and report back.

I have posted before without luck. I now have heard this on going sound for over two years without resolution. Granted, the fact that I'm aware of it seems to make the sound that much more noticeable and problematic.
It doesnt matter if the clutch is in or if the clutch is out. I have a...
hub noise
Hi
I have the same problem and a local mechanic said that a 4x4 with knuckles such as the LC is not designed to be driven with the hubs locked unless the transfere case is in. He said that his samari is the same at that its ok as long as you keep it under 35mph. On my ol bronco...
description of noise
Sorry,
It is not a hum or click but not a loud grinding either. It is in the background and you have to be listiening closely but more like grinding than the other sounds. Kinda like a rumble

Was hoping some of you out there could help. I have a 83 FJ60. When the hubs are locked and the transfere ingaged is all seems to work ok but when I take the transfere out and leave the hubs in there is a background noise thats not right. Its not real loud but present, as if something has...
Hi
Just installed a new used power steering pump four days ago. It works great, but this morning I noticed that the nice red color had some grey discoloration as if a bearing was adding metal to the dextron fluid. Has anyone experienced this before? Should I drain the pump and refill it or...
the other night I noticed fluid was pooring out of my pump. Previous owner said it was rebuilt and believe it (still had new stickers on it). Am not sure but it seems its coming out of the the shaft that hooks the pully plate on (the plate the belt goes on). if this is indeed where it is...
mechanical guage
I never bothered fixing the sending unit or looking for a potential bad guage. After confirming good pressure with the mechanical, I started to sleep well and just drove it.
thanks
I will run 31x10.50R15 and never bigger. I might be interested in a 31x9.50 if anyone knows who makes them? So, still no quite sure if I understand. Are the older steel FJ40 wheels strong enough for the FJ60? Also, is anyone concerned about the strength of aftermarket wheels? I can imagine...
I am interested in running wheels like they do overseas, a steel colored utilitarian looking wheel either 15 or 16 inch. I have seen this style on older fj40's and 55's but never on the USA 60's. I see them available on ebay, in fact there are some now but was told they may not be strong...
I found a used Australian carb and dist. for my 84 FJ60 in good condition (thats what they said anyway). The price is $265 plus shipping from the outback to the states. Was told the unit had the small cap. Are they refereing to a small distributor cap and if so, will that unit fit my motor...
