Hey all, blower started doing the thing that everyone else’s does when the resistor is going out. I lost the low and low-medium setting but still had medium-high and high settings for about a year. Then all of a sudden I started noticing those settings struggling, and finally stopped altogether...
Hey folks,
Just picked up an ‘82 pickup with an automatic trans. Problem is, it will not shift into O/D and stays in 3rd which tells me the solenoid must be out. Anyone have a part number or extra one they could send me? I’d also love to find a FSM or any literature on my pickup. Seems like...
Lost one of my rear decals in an automatic car wash (don’t take your 60 in an automatic car wash) and ordered a pair of new ones off of EBay. With shipping the two cost me ~$20. After inspecting, I realized they wern’t super different but different enough than the original decal. Below is a...
Hey all.
Ordered a champion radiator and installed in tonight. Was pretty frustrated by a couple of things.
First, it seems everywhere I read that this radiator was a bolt in/ use your existing bolts/nuts for the replacement.
That sounded all good until I got to putting the bottom bracket on...
Current thoughts on aluminum radiators? I’ve read through some pretty old threads over the past couple of weeks and am about to pull the trigger on a new one. This is the one I’m looking at:

Hey y’all.
Searched for about 10 minutes in the forums and couldn’t find anything on this. I have an 84 FJ60, and I noticed recently when I engage it in and go in reverse, I hear a repetitive squeaking sound.
Also, probably related, I engaged the 4wd this week (heavy snow here in the PNW) and...
Hey all,
Just moved from Texas to the Northwest (Seattle) and drove my 84 FJ with a rebuilt engine the 2500 miles and it did great! Still chasing a few vacuum leaks, but overall it runs perfectly, well ran perfectly until today.
I commute 18 miles to work, and about 5 miles in, the temperature...
Pulled the valve cover off after hearing a crazy knocking, and a considerable amount of loss of power, parked it immediately. Pulled the valve cover off the next day and found this crazy thing.
New push rods are about $100 for a set of 6 on Cruiser corps. Anyone have any other suggestions of...
Hey all,
New engine is in, and everything works fine. We installed the slave clutch, bled the line, and the clutch was still having issues keeping pressure. It would take me 2-4 pumps to build up enough pressure to engage the clutch. There are no visible leaks, and the line is not corroded...
Trying to figure out if my fuel pump has gone out, or if we're missing something.
New rebuilt engine. Didn't buy a new fuel pump. When we first tried to bust off, we were having to pour gas directly in the carb to get it to start.
But we finally got it to bust off and had it idling for about...
We are trying to bust off the engine for the first time, and we can't seem to get it to bust off. I recorded a video of us giving it a shot and we keep getting a backfire. Could anyone help us diagnose?
If someone could help me out with a diagram for what goes in these two holes that would be great. I found the parts that go there but I don't know which one goes where, and where it goes afterwards, that would be great.
.
I believe it's these two.
We are at the tail end of our rebuild project, and we were turning the crank to get #1 at TDC. However, if you put your finger over the plug hole for #1 and turn the crank there is no air. We turned it several times to see if it was just something we missed, but still nothing. We have...
I'm looking for a nut that might not exist. On the push rod, there is a nut with a round end, and further up towards the slave is a regular nut, and that's it. Am I missing a nut that goes on the other end of the bracket that tourques down the push rod to keep it from coming out of that seat? Or...
Hey all, I'm in the final stages of the re assembly, and I'd like to nail this down. There seems to be a lot of discussion on this but if like to specifically hear about it for a rebuilt 2F engine. I live in Northeast Texas where it rarely falls below 25° F. My local O'Reiley's has a large...
Hey all,
I've been looking for a good step by step engine assembly, and I'm not having any luck. Does anything like this exist? I understand that not everyone thinks the way I do, and the thought of having to repeat steps or redo work because I don't know what I'm doing is already frustrating...
