I've driven my 12H-T transplant for several years now. During that time, it has always had a strange hesitation when accelerating through 3rd gear. It's only at one narrow point and only in 3rd gear. I thought for a long time that it was due to my undersized fuel lines causing fuel starvation...
Hi all,
My 12H-T PS pump is gradually losing pressure. A rebuild kit from Oz did nothing to improve it (predictably - it wasn't leaking). Looking at photos of the diesel PS pump and the 3FE PS pump, they seem identical inside and out, with the exception of the pump mounted reservoir on the...
gturbo Upgrade Users Thread
I didn't see one so I thought I'd start a thread where users of Graeme's turbo upgrade can share their results.
Mine: Generally stock 12H-T in a US FJ-60. Stock injector pump with fuel screw backed out a few turns. Previous turbo had boost controller set to 14...
Does anyone know what a failing CT-26 turbo sounds like? I suspect mine is on its way out, but since I don't have any experience diagnosing a turbo I'm not confident.
Here's what i know:
About 40K miles on a rebuild, I believe from a reputable shop.
Intermittent warbles, chirps, and mostly...
I bought a M116-A2 a few years ago. We use it a lot for hauling and camping. A while back I noticed that the chassis is built to be dump capable.
Thinking about that for a while I recently got the urge to see what kind of dump mechanism I could come up with on the cheap. The local chinese...
I hope someone has some experience to offer here.
I have a high pitch squeal that started about 6 months after my diesel swap. I haven't been able to figure out where it is coming from (about 18 months ago).
What I know, or think I know:
It is torque sensitive. The sound definitely...
I bought a used 2H starter from Oz a couple of years ago. I think it's time to rebuild it since a bearing is getting chirpy.
Can anyone help me with bearing and brush part numbers? Better yet would be a rebuild kit if anyone sells one.
Thanks!
My bro-in-law and I have tenative plans to drive the AL-Can this summer. Although you don't need 4WD anymore there are a few issues I'd like to have ironed out before we go.
Two of those have to do with the t-case. I rebuilt the case when I did my engine swap a couple of years ago.
1) It's...
Yeah, I know. I've read the FAQ. I've looked over countless threads. I haven't seen a post with a direct answer to this question.
How much lift is required for 35s? To qualify the question a little better, I don't wheel really hard. I'll never do Rubicon. So slight rub at full turn and stuff...
I'm sure it's been asked a million times, but I can't find anything using search.
I do know that the factory rating is 1500 for US models. However I have heard of people towing far more without any issues.
What do you guys find to be a practical maximum for 60 towing?
Looking for a source for a clutch kit to fit a '89 HJ-61 (12H-T/manual tranny). Seems pretty hard to find in the US.
Does anyone know if the parts cross to another engine that is easier to find, like the 2H?
I took my cruiser apart only to find that the parts I bought won't fit...
Looking for Christmas gift ideas? Cool! I'm looking for people to buy my stuff! :D

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Yak. Second only to my girls, she's my baby.
This truck started life as a California spec 1987 FJ-60. It's had many owners since.
I found it in AutoTrader. It was listed by a broker who was selling it for a private party. I was unemployed. My...
This may not be a new idea, but I thought it would be be interesting to start a thread about simple 60 projects that can be completed in a day. This can include repairing that issue that always bothered you, or a sweet mod to improve the excellence of your ride.
I figured I'd start the...
Howdy all,
So I have a puzzler for you. I have two vibration symptoms that may or may not be related. First, with engine idling, tranny in neutral, and clutch engaged I can hear the tranny input shaft vibrate. My old H42 did this too but that had a worn tranny input bearing. The H55 is brand...
