So, they want you to pay for them painting the truck the wrong color. i am the last person to not pay for something, but these damn companies that do stuff half-assed and expect full pay have recently hit home with me and I'm tired of it. So they want you to pay for the wrong color paint job...
Most water pumps have a hold on the bottom side and when it starts going bad, it starts leaking there and you leave coolant/antifreeze/water all over the place (garage, work, Walmart, etc.). There also tends to be a nice sweet smell eminating from the vehicle once it gets hot.
For the fan...
Are the conversion kits listed as off road only because of liability or is there some small chance that running at highway speeds with the conversion, there is a small chance of failure. I know I am pretty lame for asking this, think I know the answer, just want to be sure. I am getting ready...
Thanks. That's what I assumed, however I have made asumptions and purchased a few things in my day and :doh:.
Nice option if the wiring is solid. I'm at least the 4th owner and someone has added two extra tail lights, and there are all kinds of extra wires and loose wires hanging out from...
Don't want to hijack the thread, but I have a question about wiring as well. I have a '71 40, but it has a 76 or 78 2F in it. If buying an OEM replacement, do I need to get one specific for the engine or the truck and does it matter that much? Thanks for the help i am a total novice at...
My '71 40 is without heater stuff. I will be moving to Missouri soon and I feel that the heater will probably be a necessity for at least three months of the year. I could just garage it for that amount of time and not drive it but that would be no fun.
It has none of the heater stuff in it...
Does anyone have any ideas? I know there have been more views since I posted this, but no replies. I'm at my whits end. Hopefully the carb cleaner will do the trick if not it is driveable since it does not miss too bad.
Thanks again.
Just an update on things. I finally got all that stuff put on, well everything except new points.....I will address that in a minute. Anywho, new coil, dist cap, plug wires, and condenser and the main part of the missing has been cleared up. It is still missing occassionally and when it does...
It had not been doing alot of sitting when I bought it, the PO drove it once a week to keep it running and keep the battery up or so he says. It was running very well when I bought it and drove it for a week and this just all of a sudden happened.
It has however been sitting up since...
Yeah, when I posted this and went to the front page to see it I read the title and I realized that I made a little mistake when I titled it. If I could change it I would.
My tank is not vented. It is a 71 but I believe the tank has been replaced because there are a couple extra pipes coming...
It has been so long since I asked for help with this problem that I could not find my original post. It was about in september or october. If there is an archive somewhere or I just missed the original post I appoligize.
To begin I will tell you that the truck is a 71 FJ 40 with a 78 2f in...
It's been my experience that it's best to remove the battery from the vehicle. At least that's what we always did on the farm. It is slightly more of a hassle, but if your cruiser is like mine it's not that big a problem. Also, you might want to invest in the charger that stops charging once...
Can anyone help with this? I am pretty sure it is a Toyota distributor, however I'm not sure what year it is.
I am going to buy points and condenser. May not matter, but if it does any info would be muchly appreciated.
