    HIGH ALTERNATOR OUTPUT

    Your voltage regulator is most likely dead. If you have a new alternator, check the description of the part online and see if it is internally regulated. Also you can follow the wiring from the alternator to see if there is an external VR.

    1989 fj62 external voltage regulator?

    I will check with auto shop but the Alternator that is currently in there is an OEX brand RXA408 (aftermarket). I am not even sure that this Alternator has internal voltage regulation. At present the Battery measurements (measured "as is" and under load (where I turn everything I can on)...

    1989 fj62 external voltage regulator?

    Hi all I've got an fj62 and have noticed recently my battery meter pegging. So checking the alternator I see what's seems to be a modified electrical system. The alternator did not have a voltage regulator on it but I find this external one that is putting out 18vdc. It should be 13.5 right?

    Parting 88' FJ62

    Hi Brian, do you have the 3F carbureted engine ? If so, how much for the Aisin Carburetor? I live in Australia but have a shipito address in Oregon and California, so if you have the carboy, I can give you the zip of whichever is closest. Rgds Duren

    FJ60 3F Second head gasket blown within 4 months after rebuild???

    Spoke the local 4x4 mechanic who advises that I shouldn't have used red or green antifreeze initially after the head rebuild as it messes with the gasket (he claims that there is a clearcoat seal on the gasket) and he recommended running H2O for the first 500KM or so. Also he recommends...

    FJ62 3F carb backfiring

    I have read that backfiring in the carb is a sign of running too lean and people recommend changing fuel filter,plugs, points etc... I ran on LPG and have the same issue: carb backfiring under load, which rules out petrol filter ( I will switch it anyway). This week I will change the distro...
