stripped my 84 3BT down to do what I thought was a head gasket failure. Turns out my head has a nasty crack in it. Does anyone have any leads on a used 3B head? I purchased one from EBI but when I got it magnaflux tested it failed. Luckily Steve wasn’t going to charge me until I found out for...
I have an 84 BJ60 3B turbo 385k km (non intercooled, 9lbs, original head gasket)
I replaced the entire cooling system 3 years ago, (4 core rad, water pump, t-stat, rad cap, hoses etc)
It has an auxiliary coolant temp gauge and when I let the truck idle for a bit, after its reached operating...
So I’ve tried almost everything I’ve read on Mud. Still no luck. 84 3B 60 series. EDIC cycles every 10 seconds with accessories on (heater, lights, etc) doesn’t stall engine, just cuts fuel for a split second
Cleaned all grounds throughly
Replaced oil sender for gauge / Cleaned wire for oil...
Alright. I had this issue once before on my 86 BJ60 - 3B, And i solved it by cleaning the ground between my frame and bell housing. However, now my EDIC keeps cycling to stop for a split second and then back to run. At idle with no accessories on, it seems to happen rarely. It persists more when...
Experiencing some funky chicken in my EDIC system on my 3B and can’t seem to find what’s causing it. I’ve taken off my engine block grounds other wires that are easy access and sanded and cleaned them down, I’ve even taken apart my fuel control relay to see if there was any corrosion on it and...
My 60 series 3B started sputtering randomly the other day while I was at the gas station. Didn’t insist for three days until now when I was driving on the highway and it started sputtering really intermittently every 2-3 minutes. feels like the fuel cuts out for a second as if there is an air...
I've been having trouble sourcing out an OEM radiator for my truck that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Mine either needs to be recored or replaced. I was looking at a 4core re-core but I'm looking into the ebay options now. Found a 3 row that would fit my 60 series 3b I'm sure with a bit of...
My radiator is gunked up and I need to get it recored as I can’t seem to find any OEM radiators online or in the lower mainland. Looking to upgrade to a 4 core from my 3 core. Does anyone have recommendations on shops in the Vancouver area that can do so? Best option and price so far is from...
I just ordered a new radiator from NAPA auto parts and it seems like they’ve sent me one with the wrong configuration. My OEM radiator has the inlet and outlet ports on the same side, the new one the inlet and outlet ports are diagonal from each other. Does anyone know if it will work with my 84...
Just found an issue with my 86 2H. I drove down a logging road to camp last night and just got home now. Saw the litfter/primer pump was leaking diesel. About a drop per minute. It seems the primer pump has sprung up and will not compress down to locked position. I’m afraid I will introduce air...
I had the frost plugs in my N/A 3B replaced in October and since then I have had a persisting issue of temperature spikes when climbing up long highway hills. (Squamish to Brohm lake for example)
Since then I have replaced my:
Rad cap
Fan clutch
T-stat OEM 82 degrees
Water pump
Various...
My 60 series 3B temps have been rising on long hill climbs ever since I got a shop to replace my frost plugs below my intake manifold. So far I’ve personally replaced T-stat (82deg), fan clutch, and just today I replaced the water pump but it seems like it is still persisting. I have installed a...
Purchased an after market mechanical water temperature gauge from Napa. Just wondering as to where I can tie the probe into my 3b? I’ve heard people screw it in with an adapter to their t stat housing, but all 3 of my ports are occupied from factory from what it appears. I have a Wilson switch...
One of my freeze plugs in my 3B has a pin hole in it, below the intake manifold, behind the injection pump. Does anyone know the size of those plugs or where I can order them from?
Thanks in advance!
I've been having some issues with cold starts on my 84 3b leading me to believe my timer is going. I just pulled out each glow plug and tested them. All seemed to heat up glowing red hot within 10 seconds, So i cleaned up my bus bar, put everything back together. Jumped in and tried to start it...
For quite some time now, the 3b in my 84 bj60 takes a while to start. In order to start my truck first thing in the day, I turn my key and my glow light comes on for a second, then I have to wait approx. 60 seconds for the glow relay to shut off, then I can turn my key and start the truck. If...
Does anyone have a part # for a 10.5V or functional glow plug for the wilson switch installation? Looking to install a wilson switch soon, but I'd like to get the proper plugs first.
Also, does anyone have any tips on dismantling the resistor connected to the bus bar?
Thank you.
Just picked up a TD04 from a Subaru WRX with virtually zero shaft play for $300! It will be implanted on my 3B. Going start gathering all the hardware slowly and build a custom manifold. Does anyone know the sizes of all the fittings/intake piping off by heart? Like the banjo fittings and bolts...
I’ve found out that a lot of my coolant and heater lines are corroded on my 84 60 series 3B. I can’t seem to find an OEM replacement kit anywhere. Would using regular high pressure/heat rubber hose lines be okay to replace all my hoses?
Thanks in advance!
The breather tube on my push rod cover on my 84 3B fell off and decided to take a hike down a logging road. Has anyone ever welded a new tube piece on before? The pushrod cover itself is discontinued and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Would I be able to weld it in place if i properly cleaned...
