My 60 is losing power steering fluid but I can’t tell where it is leaking from. I have to refill the reservoir after only 25 miles or so. (Driveway is a mess!) there is fluid all over leaf spring and lower parts of the truck. I am hoping for some ideas for an easy fix like a lose hose clamp. I...
All 4 windows on truck are a devil to roll down or up. It has always been that way since purchased 20 years ago. Takes two hands unless you want to risk dislocating shoulder. I replaced one regulator which barely helped the slightest bit. Suggestions?
On my 60, the 4-wheel shifter moves into 4-wheel beautifully. It’s smooth and slides right in. But then if I try and shift into low it’s nearly impossible. I literally get out of truck, walk over to passenger side and pull with all my might and even that does not work lately. Once I put a 2 ft...
Our canines make the best cruiser buddies, - always ready to go, enjoying the moment, liking to rough it and ready to jump up and settle in when it’s time to head home. And, a good cruiser likes a real canine - some mud, some slobber some hair, your FJ60 is a truck after all.
My ‘84 60 is sitting flat on all springs, It needs shocks, springs all round. This costs lots. Could I replace the rear springs, put it on the road, save up and do the fronts later? Obviously the rear would sit higher especially with a 2” lift. Safety? Steering? My gut says not possible but you...
60 has been running fine. This morning I cranked the key, heard a brief strong starter motor crank, and then the starter stopped and a “squeeking” or scrapping sound emitted from down where the fuses are. The sound leads me to think some electrical component is dying or dead, with some...
My 60 was last driven a week ago. All was well. Today, went to start, I could hear the starter activate but then all dashboard lights / all electrical went off. Battery is fully charged. Then when immediately rotating the key off and then back on, nothing. Battery pos and neg wires are clean...
My 1984 FJ 60 with 221,000 miles just started a new engine noise. It is intermittent. Typically when I accelerate through the gears, when I hit about 1,500 RPMs, I hear a clacks or rattling sound. I stopped, parked and accelerated in neutral and gunned it. The rattling started and it so7nded...
The parking brake light came on about a week ago and I thought it was a faulty switch but the truck was braking just fine. Then this morning the brake pedal went to floor on my way to work. I checked brake fluid reservoir and it is nearly empty, but I did not see any obvious drip spots on...
How do you tell if the ignition fuse is bad? Most fuses are an easy visual check - the wire thing is severed. The sealed ignition fuse is more difficult. Suggestions? Thanks
Hello Amazing Mud Minds - After struggling through and solving a no start problem due to no fuel not consistently reaching carb, now I have a no start problem due to no electricity reaching plugs. I have pulled off connection wires from distributor to plugs, held them next to ground and no...
I've had a succession of problems withstarting. It cranks fine. When it fist did not start I let it sit overnight then tried carberator spray and it started right up. I changed fuel filter although there was no obvious gunk in filter. Then a week later it was idling and shut off. It was parked...
Since the cold weather, the truck won't start. It's warmed up now still won't start. It will crank. I pulled off plug wire, held it next to enngine block and could see spark arching to engine bl;ock while someone tried cranking. It seems ignition electic is not the problem. Is there an injector...
The other January morning, after a cold snap, my FJ60 slipped out of gear while driving slowly in 2wheel drive. I tried to move the 4 wheel drive shifter a bit with little success. With much shoving I could get it back in gear for just a few seconds but then it slipped out, although the shifter...
My 60's rear shock tube seperated/broke off from the driver's side main frame. I see flaking rust falling off the main frame in the rear, in the area around where the spare tire hangs. Anyone have experience getting a new shock tube welded on? Is this expensive? Does the gas tank need to be...
My 60 with 204,000 miles is looking pretty sad dragging its rear end. The leaf springs are flat with no cambur or curve to them. It also needs new shocks. My questions: If I put in new leaf springs, how will it be any different, what's the benefit? Is it worth it? If I put in new shocks, will...
