Hello,
Since a few months i have a strange noise coming from the rear diff. The noise is there in low speed, no mater if i accelerate or not. It sounds like a bearing moan. I thought it was the rear wheel bearings. I replaced them and the noise is still there. Lo leaks, no play on the drive...
Hello,
I have a strange noise while driving my bj42. It's a sort of light whistle noise (like air). I hear it well with window down. It begins at 40 km/h. It is less noticeable at faster speeds. It makes the sound even when it rolls down a hill with engine cut off. So it's not an engine issue...

With my BJ42 i am driving sometimes in the mud. I lock the hubs and put the shifter in 4low. It drives good in mud, everything normal, but occasionally the car gets stuck because the front wheels don't turn, allthough i am in 4wd low. I know that the front wheels don't turn because...
Hello,
My 3b (BJ42) has a small leak in front over the water pump. I cleaned several times to see where it leaks exactly. It's not a big leak, the front around the water pump is oil wet, the oil goes to the valve side cover. Tthere is never oil on the floor... but i want to know where it comes...
Hi, i got an old 8274 from a friend that wanted to get rid of it. It was lying around in his garage since long time.
There are no decals nor type plate on it anymore. Where can i see if it is 12v or 24v? Is it stamped somewhere or do i have to open it?
Thanks for help.

Hi, i know there are a lot of threads about superglow and i searched veeery long and i didn't find an OEM solution, the only solution i found always in the threads is the installation of a push button on the main relay (called Wilson switch i think) . I want to make my original superglow system...
Hi, my BJ42 from 1983 24v with Superglow has the following problem:
There is only 10V at my glow plugs for the entire glow process.
I thaught that there should be 24V the first 5 seconds and then for approx. 15 sec 10V. on the glow plugs.
I opened the preheat timer and nothing is burnt...
Hi, i bought an overhauled oem steering box 2 years ago at Sor. I installed it on my restored BJ42.
The steering box has 1 inch of play on the steering wheel. (new tie rod ends, new center arm kit, everything else checked).
I adjusted the steering box with small increments, like it is...
