I'm really stuck right now:
I bought the 35mm block heater, and I went for a (kinda-sorta) accessible freeze plug just aft of the injection pump on the driver's side.
I tapped on the freeze plug, but it went into the block, and while I can wiggle it around with my finger, I can't get it out...
My 1979 BJ-40 (B Engine) - The number three injector line broke off at the flare on the injector pump end.
I drove it another several miles to civilization before I opened it up and saw what happened.
- I can't find a new injector line or anyone to make one for me, please help!
- Is there any...
1979 BJ-40 24v
They've been working fine for years, but a week ago (in cold weather) I noticed that the glow controller (little window with a resistor behind it) was taking too long to start glowing. Over the last week it's died a slow death until yesterday the glow was barely visible and today...
Hi, I've got a 1979 BJ-40 left drive
And my accelerator cable broke.
Does anyone have a tip for where I can get a new one? SOR only lists them for different years or RHD, but I would think that they're the same part?
Thanks for any input!
1979 BJ-40, 60,000 miles, 'semi-floating rear axle'
I'm getting some noise from my rear differential, a kind of hum while driving that is more noticeable as I slow down. It's been getting worse for a while now, and is currently very noticeable.
I pulled the axles and the wheel bearings look...

Reasonably priced, in excellent shape. I wish I could afford it right now.
I had the brake cylinders replaced after the rear two (drums) started leaking pretty badly. After being replaced the brakes didn't work right and so the same shop installed a new master cylinder. Now the brakes work fine (it's been a month or so) BUT, every time I push the brake pedal there is...
Hello again,
Long Story:
In the last week:
I replaced the front motor mounts with aftermarket (the only) ones from SOR.
I noticed that the hand primer-pump on the injector pump was broken and leaking fuel a little bit, but didn't get around to fixing it (and didn't notice any issues at...
I have a 1979 BJ-40 and the 24V alternator quit on it.
I took it to an alternator shop and they said that it's broken and they can't fix it because they can't get any parts for it (it's not just the brushes)
They said they can send it somewhere but it's going to get very expensive.
Does...
Hi, I have a B engine BJ-40, 1979.
The engine has made a distinctive knocking sound for a while, but I just moved from Arkansas (low altitude) to Idaho (higher altitude) and the knock is worse. I'll let you watch this video and draw your own conclusions:
(I happen to have a camera and...

Hello everyone, I'm working on a '71 Pig and I could really use a wiring diagram but can't seem to find one anywhere. Any ideas?
I'm also about to dive into the tailgate, it doesn't open or anything and I'm hoping that it's just not wired up (the dash is all apart) so I hope that the wiring...
sorry if it's a repost, but this is pretty sweet:

Brought it home yesterday, it's a 1971 with a big old 6BT 5.9 Cummins in it.

I did a search or two and didn't turn up anything, I may need to replace the radiator on my BJ-40 and I'm wondering
A - Is it the same radiator as the one on an FJ-40?
and 2 - Where is a good place to get a new radiator?
There is an impressive variety of radiators available, which is...
When I got this BJ-40 someone had put an overhead shelf in it with some crap speakers and a cheap stereo. Eventually I'll replace the shelf and get a couple new speakers for it, but for now I:
- improved on the shelf
- added a 12V converter and a 12V aux plug
- installed new stereo
- made...
