    T-Case tech question

    Well shoot, I was hoping that was going to be straight forward and simple. After reading your replies I did some reading and found Coolerman's rebuild at Rebuilding The 3 SP T-Case Checking the preload looks pretty straight forward, guess I need to track down a spring scale. Thanks for the...

    T-Case tech question

    I have to replace the front output shaft bearings. My question is: If I leave out the front extension housing gasket, and just use good 'ole Right Stuff will it change the preload on the bearing too much? I'd prefer not to burn up the new bearing by having it set too tight, but don't really have...

    School me on split ring rims

    Be careful with powder coating, if it's applied too thick the rim won't lock properly. I'd recommend paint due to that.

    need help new to off roading

    If you are asking if a 33x12.50R15 will fit on a 15x10 rim, yes. Although you won't be able to air down as much as if you had an 8" wide wheel. If you are asking if the tire from the 16" spare will fit onto the 15" wheel, no. As the truck is a 2500 (3/4 ton) it should have 16" wheels due to the...

    Apron emblem stud size?

    I was looking at putting my apron emblems back on, but half the mounting studs are missing. I threaded one out and tried to match it up, but couldnt find any at the hardware store. The closest I found was 4mm x .7, but the thread pitch is too fine. Does anyone know what the correct thread...

    Another Squirrelly FJ40 Electrical Thread. . .

    It sounds like a ground issue. I looked at the wiring diagram for 1979 and the turn signal indicator is connected to the front and rear signals, so the issue could be coming from either end. I would start by removing the turn signal bulbs from the front. If the system was functioning normally...

    '80 FJ40 lighting issues

    Remove the brake light bulbs, step on the brake and see if the back feed continues. If it does you know the problem is in the rear sockets (most likely a bad ground). The brake lights don't cross the rest of the lights many places in the wiring except by common grounds, so the issue is either...

    '80 FJ40 lighting issues

    I've seen this twice on 88-99 Chevy c/k series trucks, both were front signals back feeding into the park lamp circuit, and a third time on a Honda Odyssey. I agree with a ground issue too, very possible a bad ground is causing the back feed. But the bulbs are an easy check and I always start...

    '80 FJ40 lighting issues

    Inspect the brake light bulbs. I've seen a broken filament in a bulb cross the other filament and back feed through the system.

    In line proportioning valve option?

    I used http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ssb-a0707-1/overview/ (I think I got it from Speedway Motors but I can't find it there anymore). I too had to make all my hardlines. The SAE and metric lines are close enough in diameter that you can put either fitting on the line before you flare it. I...

    No lights

    The dimmer switch wouldn't affect marker or tail lights. I'd start with the headlight switch. Verify you have power into the switch, then see if it comes back out. Red should be power in. Red/White goes to the dimmer switch where it splits for high/low beam. Green is tail. Red/Black is...

    Death Wobble He!!

    Does your tire shop have a road force balancer? A tire can be balanced, but still out of round. A road force machine can measure the run out of the rim and tire, then match mount them. A balance or out of round issue frequently sets up a death wobble. Next, are they balancing the tires with...
