Anyone know how extensive the checks are for vehicles that had been converted to LPG and then had the conversion reversed are? Obviously, tanks and hoses are being removed but I’m told there will always be some signs of conversion - will this be a rejection at U.S. Import inspection?
A couple of weeks ago the Voltage Converter on my BJ40 starting heavily smoking. I’ve removed it for replacing and it was a New Era AVR-551. This is a Colombian rig so who knows what was done with it - but looking online this part does not look correct for my year/model…Question is : is there a...
I have a 1980 Colombian BJ40 that is in need of wiring work. I’d love the fuse box updated and removal of the converter from the engine side of the firewall. I know of painless (painful) and American Motor wiring solutions.
Is there another one I should consider?
I don’t have the...
My Colombian BJ40 came with one battery and I’d like to add a 2nd for more starting ooompfff. Want to keep the price down - recommendations, suggestions, instructions?
Thanks!
2 hours from home I got a substantial coolant leak going on. I am going to get it pressure tested tomorrow but identified a really poor condition hose that is mounted to the firewall on the passenger side of the the engine compartment.
I’ll try to get pictures.
On my morning commute I my 96 80 started heating up for the 2nd time in the past 2 weeks. Mostly, i do short trips (less than 10 miles) and have never experienced this before. Also the heat has been working intermittently for the past 2 weeks. Sometimes it blows hot - then just mild air.

Just changed the timing belt a week ago, today CEL and VSC lights went on. Rough idling and under power, specifically in the rear. Showing multiple misfires, changed all spark because it was time, will move the IC's around to test them, tonight. Anything else I should do myself to try to remedy?
So my hazards work but only if my turn signal (left or right) is on.
My right turn signal is not working unless my hazards are on (it doesn't blink independently)
My left turn signal works but the left turn signal indicatior only blinks when the hazards are on.
I love these old things
Any...
Can anyone identify the bluesh gray color on this Pig? I am horrible at this and I can't ask the Mrs because she doesn't know I've got a 55 coming my way.:deadhorse:
Thinking of getting my 40 ready for resale. PO insulated the firewall
1. Is this going to hurt me on pricing?
2. I like the improvement on sound, but how would one recommend I remove it?
3. Is it worth it to remove it?
Thanks!
Anyone have a broker they recommend for filling out the Colombian export documents? Already have the shipping line in place (they aren't allowed to recommend, refer, or mention any brokers). Prefer someone with office in both Cartagena and Bogota.
Thanks! Mt
Hi all, my wants are fairly specific. I am looking for a '76 pig with minimal cancer - hoping for something in one of the buckets below, preferably bucket 2 unless the previous owner has similar tastes to mine.
It definitely does not have to be in DD shape, but has to run, so I can move it...
