    FJ40 Radiator on BJ42

    I have had some radiator issues last few years. The original Radiator was rotten through and couldn't find a shop that would re-core it in my neck of the woods. I purchased an aluminum one on e-bay and it lasted about 2 years and failed at the top seams. I learned the hard way (or probably not)...

    BJ Fuel filter light staying on

    Ah, that's unfortunate but it seems like you have lot's of spares. If they don't work out I installed this a few months ago and it's been working out good needed some fitting, replace the pulley that came with it for a smaller V-belt one and swap some wires in the plugs but over all not much...

    3B Vacuum Diagram/Problems

    Here is the tank I put in. I still have to paint and mod some amour for it for wheeling but for driving around it's fine. I have a hand vacuum pump for bleeding brakes/Clutches ect, (nothing fancy, bought it at Princess auto) but connected to the hose right off the altenator vacuum pump It's...

    3B Vacuum Diagram/Problems

    The tank is just a tank, nothing else but the fitting holes for the switch hose, connections and a drain hole. I replaced it with a small cylindrical tank and it works real nice. One small hole in the hose or steel lines and you will lose vacuum fast. To check if you have a vacuum issues on your...

    Yup if they are 24 volt. They did have some 12 volt models. You can also swap the connector. It takes a little messing around but you just have to press the tab on the brass conector and you can pull the connector from the plastic plug. You need a pick or small common screw driver and the pop...

    3B Vacuum Diagram/Problems

    You need a reservoir to hold vacuum, the pump is insufficient to keep up. It does sound odd to say but you need a tank to store emptyness. The toyota reservoirs are often rotten out, you can replace it with 1 gallon air tank with fittings to install the pressure switches, or leave them out...

    BJ Fuel filter light staying on

    There's two ways you can check them. Option A "the safe method": 1) Checking the voltage regualtor: Have a power source of that you can control the voltage, like three 9v batteries soldered in series to up to make 27 volts with a potentiometer wired in to change the volatage above and below...

    If it's not a perfect fit it will still work just fine, have a look for AC delco E772a or equivalent from another manufacturer. Rockauto or Ebay.

    BJ Fuel filter light staying on

    You need an 8mm and a 10 mm to take the cover off an the brush holder just pops out. The brushes are 28mm X 8mm X 5mm and need a copper wire tale. You just de solder the old ones out and resolder the new ones in. The ones in the picture measured at 19mm which is probably why I was have trouble...

    BJ Fuel filter light staying on

    The alternator will always have a succion pump on the back it's how your break booster get's it's succion. It's not real diffcult to remove but I just leave it on when removing the alternator. The oil lines don't have much in them so they don't make a mess when you take them off. Your voltage...

    BJ Fuel filter light staying on

    If I were a betting man, which I am not, I would put money on the charging issue. It's easy to check, disconnect the sediment sensor wire, make sure it's not grounded and if the light stays on with the engine running your alternator is not charging, or charging enough. It's a simpler fix than...

    24v step downs

    Ground where you want to the chassis is what I would use. The step down is just another item that's hooked up. It's like a radio or light. It maks it easier to wire things up if you use the chassis for ground.

    24v step downs

    Can confirm the drama of blowing one headlight. Run like that for too long and it will cost you a head light and two batteries. I installed a Solar Converter battery balancer 12 years ago and it's kept my two optima blue tops within 0.1 V of each other even with a radio and trailer hook...

    12volt winch on 24 volt truck ??

    After my 24volt Mile Marker 9500 died I was SOL to find another 24 volt unit, so I bought a new 12 volt Rough Country 9500SI from a guy on Kijiji for cheap. I decided to try it and see how it goes. I wired a 5 ohm resistor to the ground of the Solenoid which drops the voltage across both...

    New Wilson switch = no start

    I'm not really sure how you set up your Wilson switch but if you have 9.5V plugs you probably have super glow. The Glowplug timer as it's called in the manual is where the resistance is to drop the voltage. I had some trouble a few years ago with the glow plugs when I was messing around with a...

    24v step downs

    It matters quite a bit actually. The alternator has no circuitry in it to see the individual batteries like a fancy computer or a controller. It has no idea whether you have 1 24V battery, two 12V batteries, or four 6 volt batteries to make the power bank. The vlotage regulator senses the...

    3B bj42 crankcase breather

    It's getting down in the numbers for compression but nothing too crazy especially if they checked the compression cold. The fact that there is a big difference between the other cylinders and #3 may explain the smoke and vibration especially cold. Ideally recheck hot and if things might even...

    24v step downs

    If you use this set up to power your radio, you will damage your batteries. A 5 amp draw from a radio is sufficient to ruin your batteries faster than you would think. The one battery where the 12 v draw is from will never fully recharge and the other one will eventually over charge. If you set...

    3B bj42 crankcase breather

    Sounds like a normal Bj42 to me. Check the compression if you are worried. 284 PSI minimum and 28 psi max difference between cylinders according to the Engine manual. It's normal to get spots of oil regularly out of the breather as it's just a pipe that sicks out. Many people put a catch can...
