    New muffler too loud

    Thanks Wayne, yes , that would have been perfect if I was going down South for Easter but this time my family came North. Anyhow, I'd consider meeting up with the uclc some time. Looks like a good bunch of guys to hang around with if I'm going to keep my cruiser going for a long time. Thanks...

    Engine recordings

    Has anyone thought of recording the sound of a healthy diesel engine using high quality recording equipment? These could be posted on the internet for others to compare the sound of their own engines to. I know that my engine has changed sound quality in the last while and a database like...

    New muffler too loud

    Thanks for the recommendations. Still don't know what a good system is. Is it something that resembles the factory system? Would a purist go for a factory system just to have the original sound from his/her cruiser? Are all resonators and mufflers created equal? What is the difference...

    New muffler too loud

    Thanks for the comments. I put this muffler on because I don't know what the differences are, not because it was cheaper. Still, no one has told me what I should expect to pay for a good muffler. Should I go to toyota, back to Midas, or order something through an automotive supplier? What...

    New muffler too loud

    I have an 87 HJ60 2H When I had a muffler installed at a muffler and rad shop, I was given a choice for a 45 dollar flow through? muffler (looks like a round cylinder) which I was told would be a little louder, and a regular muffler at 60 dollars. I thought, a little louder, well ok and...

    Automatic transmission troubles?

    Transmission The truck is an 87 HJ60 . I'm not sure which tranny it is. The truck only has 250k on it but I know that the previous owner used the parts cruiser that I got with it to replace the transmission before I bought it. The parts cruiser had 500 000. He told me that it was easier to just...

    Automatic transmission troubles?

    Hi all, This is the first automatic I've ever had. On the highway recently, the rpms have been going up as if the tranny was slipping. Also, accompanying this, is a horrible vibration. If I reduce my speed a little, I can punch through it by punching on the throttle. I've had a horrible...

    VDJ79 on CANADIAN soil

    Mine Toyotas I drive by a mining supply place here in North Bay and stare every time I see those lovely little Cruizers sitting there. There's 6 or more of them right now. I just wonder who the lucky bastard who always gets to move them around the yard. They're not always in the same place...

    H vs. B motor

    Uh......not sure where you got that info about the auto and air. I had to search hi and low, through probably 100 ads for HJ60's before I could find one with automatic trans! My wife wouldn't drive a standard. Also, I never saw one without A/C. Both my daily driver and parts vehicle have auto...

    Toyota Diesel mechanic required In North Bay or anywhere between NB and Waterloo.

    Thanks for the offer. Turns out I had to leave prematurely to go back to North Bay to start work without getting anything fixed. Be good to compare notes sometime. Did you convert yours to WVO? I'm going buy kit and convert mine. It would be good to know how yours went and what product you...

    In line Fuel Pump & muffler question

    I'm sorry folks, I have to vehimetly disagree with the need for noise. I, for one, have always had sensitive hearing in a world where movie theatres are way to loud, where, I have to wear ear plugs to go to one or to go anywhere near a concert or pub. An old Harley going past me actually...

    Toyota Diesel mechanic required In North Bay or anywhere between NB and Waterloo.

    Hi everyone, I'm in a similar situation as the previous thread. Have an 87 Hj60. I need someone to go over it and point out any problems with engine, drive train, steering etc. I just got a job that requires the vehicle to be in good shape. I don't have a place to work on it and I'm not as...

    Glow plugs and light don't stay on

    Yes, I should just go back to the batteries and figure out if they are secure. I actually had some problems when i bought new ones because I couldn`t figure out how to keep the posts from contacting the hood on the one side. I got some sparking once, so I put some spacers in in the tray to keep...

    Glow plugs and light don't stay on

    I don't know. I've had it for 2 years and put about 50 thousand kms on it. As far as I can tell, it smokes about the same as when I bought it. After how many kms should this be done and are they just cleaned or replaced? Thanks roscoFJ73

    Glow plugs and light don't stay on

    Hi All, I have an 87 hj60, 2h I know that this type of problem has been beaten to death but I've been struggling with it for almost a year! It started late spring last year when the glow plug indicator light wouldn't stay on, just flicker on and off. It seems that the relays also turned of...
