    engine lags/stalls in H2 not in L4

    That's a good suggestion too, but no. And in fact I have the rear drums adjusted way out (in? loosely, not much braking power) to do that much stopping/holding just because I redid the rears and would rather tighten them up later than have a stuck or rubbing pad. And I haven't pulled the...

    engine lags/stalls in H2 not in L4

    Yeah. Good chance the engine is just not there anymore. Thanks for the clarity on gear ratio, I *felt* like that was an indicator but I am just too close to the problem to reason through it. Might be an engine swap is in the future. I know B rebuild kits are like unicorn poop.

    B engine lag/stall in H2 second gear

    I put this in the 40 section for more eyes, but thought I'd put it here in case there are any thoughts about my ol' B engine being the cause of this weird shifting/stalling thing. BJ40, B engine, swapped in a used H55F, split case, new clutch. The engine runs OK, a little excess blow-by, a...

    engine lags/stalls in H2 not in L4

    Odd problem here, gang. I'll try to be brief and succinct. BJ40, B engine, swapped in a used H55F, split case, new clutch. The engine runs OK, a little excess blow-by, a little bit of leaky valve I think, but generally OK. Idles fine, revs fine, doesn't get hot, doesn't smoke more than I'd...

    Vendor Brand new reproduction FJ40 rear ambulance door latches

    Eternally grateful that there are vendors out there who will take the time (and frankly, financial risk) to provide parts that can't be had anywhere else. I've been hemming and hawing about what to do for my ambulance door latches ("well, I can get a billet of steel and grind it down to...

    While waiting for parts to put my Dash Gauges back together, is there an official color for the dash so that I can repaint it?

    I used Cruiser Corps pewter rattle can. Works well. I would say that my instrument cluster, and glove box door turned out a bit more silver/gold than stock - kind of a champagne color vice the more grey pewter that came on my new OEM bumperetts and replacement instrument cluster (yes, I...

    BJ40 resto - "let it begin (again?!?)"

    As often happens, plenty of work gets done, and questions get asked and answered in other threads that forward my work along...but I don't often post to 'my' thread. But as I'm facing a move and won't be doing any work while the truck is going from one garage to another, I thought it time to...

    8274 Winch Mounting Plate

    I thought I had a more recent picture from when the boy-child and I have subsequently wound the cable on, and straightened some of the other bits (got the bolts matching across the bumper, moved and tightened up the fog lights). Still need to get the mount plate and bumper reinforcement painted...

    engine like 13B-T?

    I'll swear by United Diesel (link) in Springfield, VA. (No affiliation, but it's the kind of place I'd wanna work) They don't do engine rebuilds per se (I've asked - haha!), but getting injection timing right, rebuilding injectors and injection pumps... pros. I've been in there four or five...

    Air filter assembly mounting washer/bushings

    I'd just take the inner and outer diameter, and the thickness of the sheet metal bracket and go to McMaster-Carr. You may not find exactly that style that has the two-sides joined, but there are innumerable push in, snap on, etc. rubber grommets. HTH, Trav.-

    Alternator testing

    Like @Pighead , I am not an electrical expert, but I've been fighting a similar thing, and so in reading on alternators, a couple things have come clear to me. Try removing the main charge line (if your wiring is still stock it'll be the white/blue that's hooked to the 'B' terminal on the...

    Vendor NOS OEM FJ40 FJ45 BJ42 HJ47 hand throttle cable

    I forgot to come back here an comment on the quality of this part and the professional, prompt service of @FJ40GURU I probably didn't *need* this part, but now that my build is getting to 'almost complete' (or should I say 'able to be driven', because they're never "complete" are they?) and...

    First Time Buyer - Requesting Advice (1977 FJ40)

    @NEOK, Sounds like you've made the decision to pass on this one already, and I don't mean to pile on but FWIW I reinforce that that truck would not get *my* $23k, for sure. The 70 series turn signals are a common S. Amer mod (ask me how I know... :confused:), and probably point to...

    HELP NEEDED tonight - Power Steering (possible screw up)

    FWIW, I don't see that there's a crush/sealing copper washer in there. I am certainly not the expert on PS, but as that's one of your questions, just trying to provide some info from the FSM. I understand that you don't want to crank down on that fitting anymore, but barring that - and...

    HELP! I don't have enough fiberglass to rivet my roof cap to the rain gutter

    A couple thoughts (and I did apply the CCOT drip rail to my existing top so I have a sample size of one... but hope to help). - Remember, there will be a sizable (i.e. thick) gasket between the drip rail and the top-side panels/door top/rear cross member, so if the rivets don't completely hang...

    Is this supposed to be unplugged?

    I have a similar thing on the thermostat housing of my B engine. I was looking for a proper plug as the thermostat housing came with more ports than I need for my engine/gauges, but couldn't find the right thread/pitch so I used a sensor even though I didn't plan to plug into it. I know...

    How difficult to paint this?

    BLUF: you could try and get a good-enough match out of a spray can from Cruiser Corps (no affiliation, I'm just not aware of anyone else that puts Toyota codes in an aerosol). Agreeing with @Skreddy , color match is going to be difficult - especially with red which oxidizes pretty quickly IF...
