    Slow to start + No A/C...any ideas? (more info in thread:)

    Update: I took a couple of hours to really dig around some more checking any and all electrical connections, grounds, triple checked the battery (I already replaced the battery fusible link). All connections sprayed with CRC and triple checked to make sure they were solidly connected. All...

    Thank you for the ideas. I'll keep after it and report back. Appreciate it.

    Ok, bud. Thanks for reading. Happy trails.

    I posted a video so you can hear what's going on. It's literally stuttering until it fires up.

    Slow to start + No A/C...any ideas? (more info in thread:)

    Made a quick video of how it sounds trying to crank if it helps. Keep in mind I’ve never had a problem with it cranking everything in the 9 years I’ve had it. That’s why I’m so baffled this huge problem came out of nowhere. Also, A/C compressor is definitely not kicking on. Thanks for any advice

    Slow to start + No A/C...any ideas? (more info in thread:)

    Removed the belt and I'm checking every connection that would be accessible for getting to the A/C components. No dice so far. After I removed the belt, the stuttering crank persisted just like before. Half the time, it's where you can hear it turn over for a while before it finally cranks. The...

    Stock Roof Rails, does anyone use them??

    I'm still going to delete mine and put a better rack on. I just haven't yet had the need to. One reason to consider delete or at the very least, inspection is that the underside of those racks are prone to rust at some point. Look around on the forums, there's some write-ups on what to look for...

    Stock Roof Rails, does anyone use them??

    Used them a few years ago to haul stuff out to the tailgating spot. Probably about 100 lbs total. Worked well enough.

    Thank you both. Troubleshooting from easiest to hardest. The fuel hypothesis wasn't sitting well with me either. I'll check/clean connections and remove the AC belt this evening and report back.

    Slow to start + No A/C...any ideas? (more info in thread:)

    After some thought and research I'm going to change out the fuel pump filter and maybe fuel filter and see what that does, but the connected A/C issue still doesn't sit well with me. Still hoping for some experienced advice/thoughts/speculation. Thanks in advance.

    The engine won't start. No, off. I had that thought too but seems far-fetched when I just had everything done at the dealership. The compressor turns freely with no noise, no belt noise, etc.

    Slow to start + No A/C...any ideas? (more info in thread:)

    Ok, this has me kind of stumped. 97 FZJ with 306k. Just had the A/C completely overhauled (new compressor, dryer, charge, etc) at the local stealership because I'm just too busy with work to mess with it. Got it back 2 weeks ago and everything seemed fine. The other day I go out to crank it up...

    Front Catalytic Converter is toast. Replacement cost?

    Thanks. Yeah, I read the thread about the Bosal woes and I'm not thrilled about going that route. Nothing I'd love more than to do it myself but unfortunately work is crazy and I want this done so I'm going to have to go the universal route and have it done.

    Front Catalytic Converter is toast. Replacement cost?

    I'm in SC. Found out it's bad because of the racket it makes at idle and low speeds. A light tap verifies the internals are broken up inside.

    Front Catalytic Converter is toast. Replacement cost?

    Hey guys, my front cat is finally shot at less than 1,000 miles shy of 300k. Before I go calling around to get estimates today, I'd like to have an idea of the ballpark this will run to get two new cats installed. Truck is a 97 1FZ. Thanks!

    Ideas needed: Weird squeak coming from steering at slow speeds

    It's definitely outside. Not inside. Edited the original post for a bit more clarification. Thanks.

    Ideas needed: Weird squeak coming from steering at slow speeds

    Squeaking happens when driving slowly and turning the steering wheel...not just from turning the steering wheel. It's a 97 with 2.5" OME medium lift put on 5 years ago. No problems with the lift. Complete front axle job completed last year. No problems there.

    Ideas needed: Weird squeak coming from steering at slow speeds

    Front/rear brakes done a little over a year ago but this squeaking just started about a week ago, so it's not the brakes. I also replaced the brake booster with a new OEM brake booster about a month ago. It's been fine. This is an intermittent squeak at very low speeds (think turning into a...

    Well, &$%#! Need some advice quick.

    Yup. Getting a full axle service. Quoted around 12 hours labor. Hence the loaner.

    Well, &$%#! Need some advice quick.

    Just a quick update: the Cruiser made it up to Asheville just fine. A little funky burnt smell and some fine tendrils of smoke from 2+ hours of interstate driving but no failures. Dropped it off at the local Yota dealership here in town to get it fixed. Talked to the service manager and the...
