    2H maximum torque, at which rpm

    This is something I've been wondering about for years: at what rpm does the 2H get its maximum torque. Does anyone have any official/sourced figures? The reason I bring it up, is because I myself have seen 3 different values: -1800rpm (Toyota sales brochure, circa 1987) and (German site...

    Opinions on full floating axle housing

    Hi everyone, I have a worn spindle on the right side of my axle housing, and have been looking for a replacement for ages. And suddenly I came across this one. It's unused and new, but clearly very old stock. I'm not concerned about the housing itself rust-wise, just the spindles. What do you...

    Transmission cooler write-up

    This is a write-up for the installation of a transmission cooler for the A440F, in addition to the factory cooler which is integrated into the coolant radiator. In this case a 1985 HJ60. The lower line, is the inlet line, that goes to the cooler and the upper line is the return line, that...

    Fan clutch write up and question

    I decided to put new fluid in my fan clutch, and do a write up on it. This is a fan clutch on a 1985 HJ60. It may be the original one, and if not, then still probably quite old. The original Aisin one has 8 screws, whereas the aftermarket ones seem have 4 screws (for the 2H/12HT that is)...

    A440F good location for temp sensor

    Hi, I bought an after market temp sensor, the washer type, so not one that actually measures the fluid temp, but simply a metal surface area. Ideally it should go under a bolt or screw. I had a look at the transmission, and I'd rather avoid the side where the inlet and outlet lines, because...

    New coolant temp sender: wiring and reading question

    Hi, I recently replaced my upper and lower thermostat housing, thermostat itself, and temp sender. (1985 HJ60) Long story... (skip to bottom for short story) The old temp sender, which worked fine AFAIK, always read 1/4 to 1/3. It always sat there, very solidly, regardless the weather and...

    Could you guys give me some advice? I've got coolant leaking past the new gasket: This is an HJ60 with 2H engine. -It was not previously leaking. -I put in new coolant and a new thermostat. -OEM gasket. -FSM's 13ft/lbs for the 3 bolts. -Scraped both surfaces clean with razor and...

    2H block coolant drain tap

    Hi, I was planning to flush the coolant today, but there is something strange about the plug/tap. I spent 15 minutes removing a stubborn plug, only to discover it was a plug within another plug. I then spent another 45 minutes removing the really stubborn plug that housed the smaller plug...

    2H valve clearance adjustment

    (EDIT: write up starts at post #13.) Hi everyone, I am planning to adjust the valve clearances for the first time on my 2H. I've done it once before on another car, and from that I learned two things: -Don't run the engine with the valve cover off. (oil squirting everywhere) -Engine sure...

    Front hub and oil seal write-up

    Hi everyone, after having received lots of great advice on the forum, I decided to do a write up of my own. There's lots of threads on this already, but every member focuses on different things, so here's another one. What does this write up cover: -Free wheeling hub removal and disassembly...

    Rear axle seal depth (full float)

    I've asked a couple of individual members, and gotten some contradicting answers, so I thought I'd post it up and see what the consensus is. The FSM doesn't say how deep. Again, this is about a rear axle seal for a full floating axle. (1985 HJ60) The reason I ask is because it seems like it...

    Rear drum brake problems

    Hi again everyone, I recently posted a question about wheel bearings, and am now doing the other side. And of course... something has to go wrong. The left rear drum brake, refused to come off. I had done the right side, and that drum slid off easily. But this side didn't. I used two bolts to...

    Wheel bearing question

    <revival of my old thread, new post is #23> Hi everyone, I recently repacked + new seals on the right-rear wheel bearings on my 1985 HJ60 with FF axle. After a 40km trip at about 90kph, the axle flange felt fairly hot. Not too hot to touch, but close. And a bit hotter than the left side...

    Correct tire pressure

    I have a hard time dertermining the correct tire pressure for my HJ60. I have 31" 10R15 tires. Stock car, no extra load. No 3rd row seats. (all psi) -Owner's manual calls for: 36 front, 46 rear. -Tire shop calls for: 36 front, 36 rear. -Mechanic recently inflated it to roughly: 40 front, 40...

    a440f: alternative to topping up/checking level?

    Hi everyone, The reason I ask, is because a mechanic once mentioned something about an 'inspection plate'. (I may have misunderstood though) And another reason, is that it would make it a lot easier, as I find the dipstick fill/check method a bit cumbersome. So, I was wondering, is there...

    Driving with a broken wheel lug

    Hi, I was hoping to get some opinions on this. Today I attached a rear mud flap to my 60, and removed the wheel to have easier access. When I put the wheel back on, while tightening a wheel nut, the wheel bolt/lug snapped off. (it's the rear driver's side wheel) I did some searching a...

    Ran out of fuel in HJ60

    I'd like to share a recent experience in running out of diesel in my HJ60. It's all pretty much common sense, and what one would expect, but still some interesting facts that may help someone prevent a similar experience one day. I was carrying lots of heavy loads, so I had no idea how much...

    Transfer case breather location

    I hope this topic hasn't already been discussed a dozen times over, but I honestly can't find one on this forum or others. I did come across one thread on exploroz.com, without pictures, and it's apparently on top of the transfer and very hard to reach. I put my camera on top of the...

    Couple of oil questions

    Hi everyone, I have a couple of oil questions about my hj60 with 2h engine. I did try the faq section, and the cruiserfaq.com website and google but never found a suitable answer. 1. First off, is it normal that diesel oil turns black so quickly? I also have a small 4cyl petrol car and the oil...
