    strange noise from FJ40

    I will check those things I'll check those things you guys mentioned,exhaust leaks, coolant, one thing I've never tghought of is minor backfiring. Its a hard noise to track down because the only time it does it is when I'm driving and decelerating. I thought it might be the chain in the...

    strange noise from FJ40

    strange noise It sounds like its coming from the front half of vehicle, mabey the tranny, transfer case, motor, or someplace else. It almost sounds like a gurgling sound that a coffee perculator makes, but only on deceleration, not when its idling or when I'm accelerating...weird.

    Good Luck Good Luck with it Jason, hope it works for you, if it does, the same combination should work for me. I was told that to do a conversion like that you need an Advance Adapter bellhousing, I guess their a bit shorter than the chevy bellhousing to compensate for the short shaft on the...

    Let me know how it works I've been thinking about putting togeather the same set-up, a chev 350, a chev clutch and bellhousing, bolted up to a toyota 3 speed tranny. Does it work the way you have it set up, or did you have to make some cahnges? I heard that the 3 speed tranny shaft is too...

    Killing off 74FJ40 bolts one at a time

    You can try this I've tried all of those commercial products that are supposed to unsieze nuts and bolts nothing that I have ever used works better than mixing transmission fluid and brake fluid , half and half, just put it in an oil can, squirt it on and wait about a half hour or so for it...

    While I'm at it - Fuel Tank has a hole

    This worker for me I had a gas tank leak along one of the seams about 3 years ago, I was using some POR-15 at the time to paint the floor of my cruiser, and put some on the leaking seam , after I removed it from the cruiser and drained it. Three years later, and it hasn't leaked since.

    Sounds like an FJ40 insurance scam to me

    I don't know if anyone else has had this experience, but the insurance on my 76 FJ40 is coming up for renewal. I decided to call around to a few insurance companies to see if I could get a lower premium than what I'm paying now. I was told by a couple of them that it would cost over $2000.00...

    Fuel Filler Tube Restrictor?

    You are right there are a lot of scams out there when it comes to gas saving devices, but I like to think that a few people down through the years were able to invent s carb or fuel system, that if could be rebuilt today would save us hundreds of dollars at the fuel pumps.

    Fuel Filler Tube Restrictor?

    Imagine they sold gas ay cost just to get you into the station to try and sell you tires, brakes,etc. How things have cahnged. I won't dismiss the cabureator conspiracy theory just yet, I read that the American Army used this 200+ miles per gallon carb during the Second World War on some of...

    Fuel Filler Tube Restrictor?

    I read someplace that a guy invented a carburetor back in the 1940's that got over 200 miles per gallon, of course the oil companies didn't want anything like that to be available to the public. Before that apparently gasoline was unleaded like it is now, the oil companies started putting...

    wheel cylinders

    I used wheel cylinders from NAPA with good results, but I put all the rear brake parts on from a Toyota 4 Runner, didn't much like the FJ40 set-up of having 2 wheel cylinders for each wheel. I have disc brakes in the front.

    Should I keep hubs locked or unlocked?

    from what I've read here unlocked is the way to go for pavment The transfer case is all stock the way it came out of the factory, but converting it with a kit so you can change from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive is something I might do someday. I guess my question is answered , locked for...

    Should I keep hubs locked or unlocked?

    I have a FJ40, or I should say a "Chevota" the previous owner replaced the engine with a Chevy 350, the transmission with a Chev TH350, and the transfer case with a New Process 203. My question is since the New Process 203 is a full-time 4 wheel drive transfer case(can't put it in 2 wheel...
