    Please share your story as to how you came into your 80. #longlivemy80

    I’m on my 4th 80. After having a 92 and a 93 bought new (traded up for more power), later in the 90s i bought a 94 because I missed the first two. It left for a super 100 that literally gave its life for mine. Found a great 60 that was sitting for 7y after a divorce battle, and grabbed a 200...

    Builds 1985 FJ60 Gets a Holley Sniper EFI Setup

    That is a really logical analysis. And helpful with creating expectations. I've been digesting this thread over the last several weeks as I am really at a point of considering re-carb'ing. Your comments help understand why I'm not realizing a "EFI transformation experience" with this engine...

    80 Series vs Contemporary Domestic Trucks

    Build quality is incompatible. I regularly drive my 77 Bronco with unknown miles, 86 Bronco with 187,000 miles on and off road. While wonderful nostalgic and truly fun trucks - they both feel and sound like a bucket of bolts traveling in loose formation compared with the 87 60 with 185,000...

    Anna Nicole Smith is bleeding

    What he said I went through this recently. Mine was a combo of valve cover gasket and oil pump seal. And I have gone from a drippy bloody mess to a clean garage and driveway - not a spot And had the pleasure, ”while I was there”, of changing out cooling system lines, thermostat, heater...

    Aftermarket Fuel Pump or OEM?

    Similar issue on my 60 after switching to fuel injection was due to intake tube placement within the tank along with lack of baffles. Only happened on half tank or less on a turn to the right at a low enough speed that the fuel actually shifts to the left. So maybe tube blockage? Does not...

    what is your engine's highway speed happy place?

    this is killing me. OME 2", 315s, apparently stock gears as I'm seeing from other rpm/speed reports; 10 mpg at 2300 70mph indicated. New plugs rotors wires distributor intake tube. But old engine. Not using any oil however. Not chasing mpg's or wouldn't be driving this - but...

    what is your engine's highway speed happy place?

    That would be the question Best could be fuel efficiency; or power; or engine longevity. There does however seem to be a certain harmonic per engine design that balances all 3. On my Cummins it’s 1700 rpm. That’s 18.5 mpg. If I go to 1900 I’m a little faster but now 15 Looking for the sweet...

    what is your engine's highway speed happy place?

    Although at 2300rpm I am not regularly seeing 205 miles since fill up with a quarter tank left. Like, ever.

    what is your engine's highway speed happy place?

    I am about 8 mo into this new to me truck. I do not know whether the gears are stock or no. I was just mesmerized by Coys’ gas gauge at 87 mph and 3000 rpm and guessing the all day ends in about 20 minutes - 😜

    what is your engine's highway speed happy place?

    I'll be digging through the 250,000 mi transmission soon and it will be an opportunity to consider any gearing change "while I'm in there" I am running 35's (which are actually 34.3"OD) and while a bit under powered off the line or trying to pass - which I don't really care, and which could very...

    searching for transmission cooler lines fab writeup

    yeah, there's that - this writeup had some great research on different hose psi/temp specs - finding that some local shop transmission hose was probably not up to the job - that 's the info I'm looking for, should have been more specific

    someone did an awesome job of detailing their cooler line fabrication which I did not bookmark like a dummy I think it is in the middle of a build hence search not helping Does anyone recall this writeup? Last step left in a big "while you're there" that began with addressing a leaking radiator...
