    12HT Runs fine cold - dies when hits operating temp

    Guys... Totally appreciate the suggestions! I won't have time to dig into this until the weekend, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense that this has something to do with this fuel tank being dissected. When I picked it up from Don's shop he had only put 5 gallons back in the...

    12HT Runs fine cold - dies when hits operating temp

    Gents, Looking for some input on the most logical place to start diagnosing this issue. The other day while driving my truck home, it started to sputter, choke and lose power to the point I had to pull over. I kept it running, but the idle was choppy and when I feathered the throttle it acted...

    Diesel Running Temperatures

    No harm in trying more boost & fuel...worst case scenario is you have to dial them back a bit...One thing to think of though, more boost & LESS fuel means less power overall....increased boost without additional fuel will lower your EGT's but won't do s*** for your power. I think part of the...

    Oil cooler adaptor 3B - where to get?

    I would assume so...AXT sells this kit for a variety of engines....I'm just hoping to find a source here in the US so i don't have to go through the hassle of shipping from AUS. I checked a few local suppliers and no luck

    Oil cooler adaptor 3B - where to get?

    I have the oil cooler that came w/ my AXT turbo kit but the alloy adaptor that mounts to the oil filter stub is cracked and is un-fixable. Wondering if anyone knows where a guy can get a replacement? (aside from AXT...with shipping it's $140 USD). Thx

    Best all-around diesel for fj60?

    If you want to start with the sexiest, most expensive and work your way down, here would be my personal picks: 1HD-FT 1HD-T 1HD 1HZ w/ Turbo kit 12HT 13BT 3B All have been done in a US spec 60 as far as I know except the 1HD-FT...never heard of anyone do that swap yet. All have pros...

    Experienced opinions needed.

    ditto..thats what I'm doing on my M101...also solves the problem of having both 12 & 24 volt tow rigs. Most LED lights will run on anywhere from 6 to 32 volts

    Diesel Swap In California

    Sorry guys...gotta call BS on this. I've looked into it extensively and it's perfectly legal. I know of several late model (ie later than '76) Cruisers that have had diesel swaps done in CA. Do a little more digging with DMW. Where they get thier tit in a knot is when you try to put an older...

    turbo diesel

    Welcome newbie:flipoff2: ....I'm not sure what the factory boost pressure is for a 1HD-FTE (I'm assuming that's what you have if it's an '02)....but I would guess around 7lbs. You might get some better feedback from the Diesel / 24v tech section....lot's of Aussies hang out there and someone...

    BJ42...sudden jolts...?

    Yep, it's a bad fuel control relay....the relay sends a signal to your EDIC to kill the fuel to shut down the engine....just really fast and intermittently. I don't have the PN off hand... could also be a wiring issue elsewhere. My 70 did the exact same thing a few years ago and it turned out...

    I know it's already been said once, but I could not let this one go. I can only think of two people who have contributed ZERO to tech and seem to be here only to stir the pot....and you are one of them. I'm not sticking up for Wayne, nor am I kissing his ass....hell, I disagree with Wayne...

    I think DTay has a really good point here...thats exactly why I spend zero time on the Pirate LC forum anymore...if you're not a "regular" you feel like you just walked into someone's bar mitzvah. Having to sort through mounds of buddy to buddy chit chat to get to relevant info becomes old...
