Can someone explain to me how the glow plug resistor on the 2lte is suppose to work?
I have been fighting a hard start with my truck since pretty much the day I got it and trying to resolve this issue.
With the key in the on position I am seeing 11.5-12v at the rail, after I crank the truck...
I am wanting to replace my rear cargo panels with 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood. Thought I would see if anyone has taken the time to draw these before I go and do it.
I've already drawn the larger rear door, Planning a fold down table for that section. I have the .DXF if anyone is interested...
I am in the process of swapping my E-locker from my parts truck over to my DD.
Wondering, for guys who have done this... did you have to clearance the housing for the locker actuator? Also how did you wire it up? I’m guessing the motor should only run for so long in order to engage and...
Looking for some info on the Aisin A1-1000, I would like to give mine a once over before I put it back in my truck but I can not seem to find much information on them.
Looking for seals, recommended lub (I'm thinking ATF)
Much appreciated!
Sooo I did a thing the other day...
I came across what I thought was a smoking deal on a 92 lj78 (SX model)
It is in need of some engine work, Most likely a new cylinder head but the rest of the truck was in such awesome shape I couldn't pass it up. So I loaded up the trailer and picked...
Figured since my other thread is more of an overall build of my truck I would start a thread dedicated to my 1uz swap. I am hoping to get a bit more traffic from the NZ guys or SA guys since as far as I know there is only one other guy in my area that has successfully completed this swap.
So...
Hey All,
I have been having an issue with my glow system over the past year. The previous owner of my truck installed a "wilson switch". The truck will not start (summer or winter) without this switch cycled for at least 10-15 seconds. Well recently this switch has just stopped working all...
Hey there fellas, Wondering if anyone in the area has a diesel compression tester I could borrow/rent? I am trying to decide if I am going to rebuild my 2tle or not. I suspect low compression on a few cylinders.
Thanks! -Matt
Ok I have a bit of a starting gremlin with my 1990 lj78 (2lte). In the morning my truck starts and runs fine. I drive to work, I am here 8-10 hours. When I go to leave the damn thing takes about 6 minutes and about 50-60 cranks to get it started. Weird right?
Little bit of back ground info.

Ok so I swapped out my injectors today and decided it would be a good idea to test my glow plugs at the same time. Did all that, buttoned it all up and now the truck won't start. When I first turned the key on I fried a wire...
I replaced the burnt wire with the blue wire in the picture...
Ok, I've grown tired of fighting with my electric locking hubs and want to switch to manual ones.
Has anyone used these?

My other thought is to swap over 60 series knuckles. Anyone have experience with this? Is it...
Hey Guys, Been trying to trouble shoot this issue. I have a feeling it has to do with my injection pump or possibly my injectors but I wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue. I have noticed lately that not matter how warm or cold it is out side I have to manually run my glow plugs...
I swapped some of my lines around on my engine and now my gauge is fluttering.
I originally had my boost gauge hooked up to the lines off my waste gate (and never had it flutter like this), but then it was brought to my attention that my gauge was not getting and accurate reading from this...
Hey guys, Been on the forum for some time now but I figured it was time to start my own thread. I wouldn't really call it a build thread more of a maintenance and mods thread. I am writing this up in the efforts that one day it might help someone else with their LJ78, and I am always looking for...
