Thanks! I contacted City of San Marcos Resource Recovery who was helpful - As a Hays county resident I can dispose of old gasoline there, and they prefer it arrive in pourable containers that I can bring back home. That is preferred rather than me dropping off or arriving with a 55gal drum. They...
Hi all,
Does anyone know where in south Austin/San Marcos I can dispose of old gasoline? There's at least 10 gallons (but could be 20+ gal) in a boat from Oct 2020, and another 5 or 8 gal in fuel jugs, and another 3 or 5 gallons in my FJ40. I've asked a few shops if i could pay them to...
Cool that folks are finding this thread useful. Here's an update:
Since my Cardone airpump install into my 84 fj60 in 2018 December, all is still functioning well through 2023 July. Roughly 5 years and 4,000 miles...not many miles, but they've been good ones!
Happy New Year!
My new year resolution, the same as every year, is to do a lot more mountain and desert exploring in my '84 FJ60.
I'm looking forward to meeting Durango folks, I'll keep an eye out for meet-ups, I see I missed the last one in November.
Cheers to 2023. Tim
i don't know what techstream is, but this ridiculous method for early2000s era computers totally worked for me.

Nice clean engine compartment! Hard to tell from video, but it does look to vibrate. If with engine off you can wobble the pulley then that’s not good, you are probably correct about bearings. Better inspection would be to pull the belt off, the pulley should not wobble or have any looseness...
Thanks guys! I’ve used a few tanks of gas for commuting and Christmas travel, and I have been watching the PS pump after tightening a hose fitting with minor but obvious fluid leak. The pics told a good story, that long term that little leak created quite a mess on the old air pump. It’ll be...
Resurrecting this thread to followup and say that the brown bear is running again this weekend. The Cardone pump appears to be holding up. No crazy noises after an hour run time, 5 road miles. Ha! Off to a good start.
Did the swap today.
On this Cardone I had same issue as DXFR and needed to file about 1/16" off and round some edges of the sleeve so it would fit in the bracket for the long pivot bolt. I also needed to tap the top hole, it was jacked and I couldn't get a bolt to thread in. Other stuff seemed...
I got antsy so I went with the Cardone. It spins and pushes air. Looks interesting, I hope it fits and lasts a while!
I haven't pulled the stock one from my truck yet, if i remember later during the swap I'll take a side by side photo.
Thank you everyone for replies, I'll update with anything that seems new info.
Thanks Racer, your thread didn't come up in my earlier search, good info interesting pics. I sent you a message about the pump you're offering.
Hey folks,
I have a click click clicking from the air pump on my 1984 FJ60. By hand with the belt off smog pump spins freely, but clicks a couple times each revolution, both clockwise and counterclockwise. WIth engine on there has also been a clicking noise at idle, and on occasion worse noises...
If Jeff/warpdriv doesn't have what you need from his earlier post, send me a note I have several. I need to clean out some piles. You might need to illuminate me if there are semifloat differences among years. I'm in buda
