anyone ever measure diff temps after driving hwy speeds? I had the rear diff rebuilt with electric locker and today was the first time to drive it at hwy speeds, for about 3mi. after getting back I felt, then measured the rear diff temps and they were around 115F. also seem to have a growl...
Broke my 2H tach sensor wires. Anyone know the part number? I can’t find it on toyodiy. Anyone got a spare? Anyone successfully re attached the wires? Thanks
How do you remove the shifter from a H55? I spent hrs a year or more ago to repair something and now I need to remove again for a transmission swap. Yes the “locking” ring is removed, that’s easy. Thanks
Seen a lot of posts in the last month or so about how to prep your 70 series for life outside in the cold. I’ve had a BJ71 in Fairbanks, AK, as a daily driver. My Ute was my daily driver in the banana belt here in Anchorage. Due to my current job the Ute spends its days in the warm garage...
Does this mean the seal between the transmission and transfer case has finally given up? This is after sitting for a couple of weeks. Last night I noticed the fluid about an inch in the tube at the bottom. Now it’s definitely higher.

might be time to start thinking about rear lockers. would love some factory cable lockers, but I think you need the matching axle shafts. would prefer selectable lockers but probably would be ok with auto for the rear. thoughts? opinions on types? Go ;-)
I believe my H 55 is still original. Was wondering what would be going out to make 1st and reverse harder to difficult to engage. Starting thinking about the need to rebuild or replace in the near future.
How do you measure bent rims or axles? What would be a limit?
Picture is of one wheel measured at the outside edge of the wheel.
Still chasing a vibration at around 65mph
Bearings are good, but will probably check em again. Also drive shafts are balanced.
Thanks
After my 12V wiper sat on the shelf for over 10yrs before putting it on the Ute I think the grease is mostly dry, it moves quite slowly. I would like to clean and re grease it before going on my fall trip. What kind of grease would I use? If anyone has a good working LHD 12V wiper motor they...
