    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Hello, I am late to the party. Normally, you just depress the clutch pedal, shift to H4 then pull gently. A click tells you that you are in N. Keep the pull and move the lever, gently. Another click confirms you are in L4. It is safe to say that the PO seldom, if ever, drove in 4WD. The...

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Hello, Thank you for your kind words. The only incandescent bulbs I keep on my trucks are those of the indicators. My question on the solid-state flasher had to do with using LEDs, as well as long term reliability. On the other hand, indicators' flashing rate and voltage drop (if any) are a...

    Hello, Yes, that is the new/replacement part. It is the one I used. And yes, it plugs right in. As a confirmation of the electrical test, I tried to plug the faulty relay into a 71 Series. That is how I found out about the change in size, because the old part did not fit there. I try to...

    Hello, Chance's indicators began to act erratically. I checked for bad grounds, and found a stripped wire. The pervasive legacy of alarm installers. I repaired it, but the problem persisted. The combination switch is fine, and the rest of the wiring was untouched. The flasher relay turned...

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Hello, There are a couple of things most of these guys miss in their videos. There is a limit on the power you can squeeze out of a small displacement engine. If you go beyond that, either heat or emissions (sometimes both) become a problem. The designers mentioned that they had to mount the...

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Hello, Steam cleaning is one option. I use a brush soaked in a mix of water-soluble engine degreaser and water. I let it soak and then remove it with a water-wet brush. As mentioned above, I stay away from electric/electronic components. It is slow, sometimes time-consuming, but the...

    Hello, Maintenance time for Chance. It clocked 395000 km. I took the chance to have the transmission, transfer and differentials oil changed. It has been a while since I baselined it. I also took the chance to have the carburetor disassembled and cleaned. Ever since I got the truck, I just...

    Hello Matt, Yes, this is the one I was looking for. Discontinued long ago. I am still interested on this one. I will send you a message. Thank you so much. Juan

    Hello, Have you considered making reproductions of the fuse box label and the transfer instructions label? Just curious. Juan

    Hello, These lenses are getting hard to find. They show up every once in a while, as available, only to disappear shortly after. Make sure you get the gasket for the lens, part number 81512-90K01, as well. This item is just as elusive as the lens. Another option is the 1999 - 2006 assembly...

    Hello, This is a good solution using materials available at hand. May I suggest that you post this in the Random Redneckness thread as well? No offense intended. Many Redneck solutions are quite creative, considering they involve available materials. I have not seen a reference for factory...

    Hello, Battery trays from newer model year (1999 on or 2007 on) trucks are a good replacement. They fit. And they are available from the usual sources. Make sure you order enough bolts to mount it. Juan

    Hello, Illegal aliens, drugs, bullets, bombs, jets? A-Ok! Dirt? Get out of town! It is funny how you can cross the border with a full load of forbidden cargo, as long as the truck is clean. Hmmm... Juan

    Hello, Parts from Thailand are as good as parts from Japan. Use them with confidence. Ask me how I know. Nevertheless, a stash of Japanese parts is a nice thing to have. Nostalgia... Juan

    Hello, Slight derail. Many people nowadays cannot think outside Metric or convert from Metric to English. They can tell you, for instance, that 30 MPa is high pressure but they are lost when a pressure gauge reads 4400 psi. And that not to mention that 2 in. is 50 mm, among other things. I...

    Hello, Rainy season is about to start around here. Time to replace windshield wipers. I replaced the wipers. Tip: one wiper is 410 mm or 16 in. long. The other, passenger side on an LHD, is 425 mm or 17 in. I remember reading that one wiper should be 50 mm or 2 in. longer than the other...

    Hello, The lack of free running/locking hubs suggests it is a Middle East spec 70 Series. I am curious. When fuel prices are not a concern, the extra mileage you get from locking hubs does not matter much. Automatic hubs, used in the 70 Series from 1999 on and referred to as DMALH (Dual Mode...

    What did you do on your 70 series today?

    Hello, This 71 Series could use a pair of free running hubs/locking hubs. Is it a Middle East spec 70 Series? An additional four kilometers (or two miles) per gallon never hurts. Nice front plate. Juan
