Anyone know what would cause a "new" re-manufactured Saginaw pump to break it's shaft? I did a mini truck PS conversion. and on the second trip out lost power steering. Just Wondering WTH!? It's an early '70's GM truck pump with the smaller machine pulley that I read about hear on MUD (the name...
I just finished my mini truck p/s conversion on my '69 and everything went great! One issue though is the box is tight and won't come back to center after making a turn. Is there an adjustment I can make? Steering was fine before the conversion. Thanks.
I have 63,000+ miles on my '07 that I've had since new in '06. I've had the front brakes done twice already and ready to do them again. Have had the rotors turned as needed. This time upon inspection I noticed inboard/outboard wear on driver side 5/50% remaining and passenger side just the...
I'm doing a mini truck P.S conversion on my '69 40 that has the Shaft that goes into the manual box and was wondering what people have done for the connection between the shaft/mini box. I know I have to cut the shaft but was needing a source/part # for a connection between the two. Any help...
I flopped my 40 on her side last weekend and while checking all the fluids I noticed that the battery tray bent a bit and the battery hit the horn relay and opened up a 3/4" split on the corner of the battery. Has anyone ever repaired a hole in a battery? It's new, maybe 6 hours on it, and I...
Front seats from a '69 FJ40, vinyl is in pretty decent condition, passenger side hinge brackets need to be straighten out, these are 60/40 split bench (although they feel more like 70/30). $75.00. local pick-up only. Palm Springs area.
I'll be doing a mini truck P/S upgrade on my '69 40 soon and was wondering if I need to use a different steering column or can I cut mine (shaft is one piece into manual box) and put a rag joint on the end? Also, if I'm able to use my column, is there an aftermarket steering wheel I can use, I'd...
I sheared a centering pin in me front leaf pack and was wandering if this is common and what would cause it. It's kind of funny because last weekend a we were out and a buddy sheared one in the rear of his rig. We kinda figured his went do to age and maybe a rust issue, but I replaced mine about...
I'm not familiar with the external voltage regulator and was wondering... an easy test for charging is to pull the pos batt cable while the engine is running, if its charging it will continue to run. Does this hold true with the external regulator? Reason I ask is my Alternator is putting out 13...
Electrical Gremlins?
So I turned off the ignition, R&R'd the radiator, corrected a couple of wire connections ( had the driver's side fender off last week ), started the thing and now my stock gauges are not working, except the AMP meter. Is there a common ground wire or one fuse that powers...
So, I just put a '79 2F motor into my '69 FJ40 and I notice that the temp gauge is kinda working backwards. Could it just be the sending unit? Anyone ever hear of this? I did not mess with the gauges at all. There is a different type of connector on the units, '69 has the "mushroom" looking type...
So, is there any way to get the throwout fork in and out of a bellhousing when the motor and trans is in the rig? This is a '69 FJ40 2F 3 speed. Got a little carried away this weekend and stabbed the motor without the fork in place.:doh::bang:
Does anybody have a picture of a throwout bearing for an old style, three finger pressure plate. I'm not sure if I've got the right replacement part, it looks different. Thanks
