It's not a waste of money. Yes, Land Cruisers are well built.
But parts and components can fail. They're not all made as well as the Land Cruiser.
On my FJ Cruiser Ive had brake calipers seize due to salt, and wheel bearings fail. These were covered by the extended warranty and would have...
Thanks. I know the procedure and have the FSM for my 88 FJ62, but this engine is a later generation of 6cyl and might have a different pinout and procedure.
Thanks.
Do you know which pins will power a test light?
I know you have to bridge 2 pins to enter fault code read mode, but which pins will flash a light? Since there is no longer a check engine light.
My friend bought a Red Line Cruisers FJ UTE (FJ40 4 door).
It's an Icon type product that takes an FJ80 powertrain and puts a long 4 door FJ40 looking body on it.
Anyway, the finished product has a custom aftermarket dash/display assembly that does not include the original lights (check engine...
There is a temp sensor, or a temp resistor that only turns on the fan when it is hot enough in the engine compartment. The sensor is located under the intake manifold.
I grounded mine so it comes on every time I shut the engine off, because I live in hot climate.
That's a pretty good system. I guess it's similar to an extended warranty. You are in effect prepaying future problems. Difference is that you get your money back if nothing happens.
I bought a Toyota for the reliability and to never worry about issues, whether big or small. I have an 89 FJ62, I had an FJCruiser for 7 years, and now have a 2015 4Runner for 2 years.
Im very impressed with the Land Cruiser as most components are still original and have not failed.

Yup, thats what I meant. Its available through private purchase, but a dealer won't recharge them.
Originally I was going to convert to the 134A but I changed my mind.
I am going to buy a can or 2 off of Craigslist or eBay, charge it up and see how it runs.
I'm assuming you're not in the US. Not sure what PNW is?
Dealers here cannot legally charge with R12. They can only retrofit system to take the newer R134a
Thanks.
No, I fully intend on cleaning them up well before connecting to the gauge set.
Wish it wasn't a wild goose chase for the fittings, but nothing is easy.
I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me.
My FJ62 is stock with stock AC system, meaning it has R12 with the original high and low fittings.
The attached photo shows that these are schrader valves, not the new snap on R134a fittings.
However, these 2 fittings are different sizes.
The R12 gauge...
