    1983 Canadian Spec BJ60 no start no run condition

    Disconnect the edic, so you can manually put it in run. I think there is three positions. Its been awhile since I thought about it. Off, run and start. I never saw if you replaced the fuel filter, but I would do that too. Even though there was something about fuel not getting to the filter.

    GX 460 High Mileage -- Great Service History

    If you are on the Facebook GXOR groups they would all be going nuts calling it rusted out and walk away. No seriously, it looks great underneath. Oil it and carry on. Everyone says these are 500k-mile engines. With a good service history, you can be pretty confident it has lots of life. I...

    3B blow by

    Search oil catch cans. Some have made coffee cans with steel pot scrubbers and drained it every so often. They all mist some oil. It's normal. This was recently talked about in the diesel forum. You might get more info there too. There has been lot more 3B talk in there than in here.

    16" Wheels

    Okay, In a month or so I will try to fit the 16 to see what it does for the calliper. I do not want to shave the calliper, as that's too tight if a pebble gets in there. If I have to buy rims is there an aftermarket 17" rim you would suggest that is not too costly? Its for winter, not...

    16" Wheels

    I tried searching.... did not see anything. I have some 16" steel wheels for non-USA 70 series I use this 6 x 16 inch rim on my 60 series and also on an 80 series I had. Has anyone used 16 inch rims on their 460? I have a 2014. I have them already, and I have some 235/85R16 winter tires, so...

    1985 3B engine rebuild due to blowby: No!

    Do not use synthetic. It will leak like a sieve. Also, that oil cap test means nothing. Glad your comp tested fine. Use heavier oil if you need more pressure and its hot out. I see mist coming from my vent tube too. No worries. Add oil, run it. Some folks use a catch can. I ran synthetic, and...

    Silencing noisy cup holders

    I use clear silicone lubricant in a spray can for things I do not want to be oily. It drys nicely and can be used to clean the plastic there, too. Something like this is good for darn near all kinds of latches, keyholes and plastic bits. Permatex 80070 16 Oz Silicone Spray Lubricant Clear | eBay

    How to time diesel by ear?

    Oh man, that sounds hard to do. Try putting a series of marks on the pump and flange next to the factory marks. Maybe with a fine sharpie. It will be to keep moving it a 1/16 of an inch at a time and drive it to see how it feels. If it improves, keep moving in that direction until it worsens...

    Hj61 rear brakes

    I got all my stuff at Spector and it fit perfectly. I ordered a brake hardware kit and it even came with the parking brake wire that costs about $75 from Toyota.

    I Have Questions for all 3B Owners

    I've been running 10-13 lbs of boost in my BJ60 since 2008. My turbo is not quite dialled in for this engine. Its builds it boost with a bit more RPM, so some hill I still get sucked down to slow. I've owned an 80 with a 3fe and my BJ60. I sold the 80 series and kept the 60 with the 3B. Yes...

    3b hard start, white smoke

    It's a glow issue I feel. Even though you have done a lot of work on it. Sometimes new plugs can be bad too. When I do not glow long enough I get the same results. How many seconds are you glowing for? When I hold my wilson switch it usually for 15-20 seconds. Then I start and re-glow as...

    Front Bench seat?

    When I had my OEM bench seat it was not a good middle seat like a pick up. The parking brake lever is still there. I would think only smaller people could sit there. The is also the fact that there is no shoulder harness, which to me is not ideal in the front. I put shoulder harness seat belts...

    Front Bench seat?

    I had one that I sourced once. I eneded up giving it away. Did not realize they were so rare. It looked just like the picture above. It was vinyl.

    AXT turbo installation

    ooh resurection of a 14 year old thread. The fueling screw, which they must be describing as volume, set the power. Too much fuel, too much heat and black smoke. Too little fuel and no power... The only govenor adjustment i am aware of is adjusting the timing of the fuel pump. I've never...

    3B Diesel running rough on idle

    I'd focus on the injector lines. Get a wrench and crack them your self when it is running. You get a little mist out and tighten, go thru one by one. See if it makes it smoother. If it gets rough again there is something in the system letting in air. As far as 3B's with turbos I have about...

    Turbo 3B Overheating

    Okay I have a 100K on a 3B turbo. They don't run hot normally. They are a great engine, but maybe a bit boring for speed... They do not need an intercooler. You should run about 10-12 psi max. No intercooler is needed. You cannot run higher boost due to the idi and precups so don't waste your...

    60 series rust. how much rust is too much ?

    The price is good for the condition. But that there is a lot of work depending on how you want it to be. Even to get it safe may take a bit of money. Like a few extra grand. Its a project vehicle that can soak up a lot of money. But in cruiser land that's as cheap as they come.

    My 60 rust issue……what do I do???

    California. The roofs rust, but the lower body is good. I'd find a roof from up north, where the roofs are good and body is rusty. I think you get the rusty roof as the salt air settles on the roof, or like mentioned the gutter sealant cracks and condensation on the inside. You don't need a...
