I had this happen to me on a remanufactured motor as well. Never really found out what happened. It turned 270 then bump both ways hard metal. Never really looked into that motor and still have it as a spare. I rebuilt the original myself and all is well 30k miles later. Maybe someday I’ll...
I’m on 37’s with 4.88’s. I don’t think gears in the transfer case will really do much as it basically does the same as installing 5.29’s. Had the gears in the T case before. Gears are a little louder and loose your top end for snow/sand/dessert runs.
I noticed when I was on the rubicon last year that on 1 specific obstacle going uphill against a rock, right after the hairpin going uphill, the tranny was stalling out. Had the engine fully pined and it felt like it was in second gear. I ended up winching but never really figured it out. I...
“Power band” just doesn’t kick in with an intake or vacuum noise. I’ve been into these rigs for quite sometime and I never noticed this 3k effect with any other previous rigs. It’s a 1994 with the air pump thinamabob on the filter canister. Is that it?
I’ve been noticing that there is a little power surge, not like vtech, but noticeable intake sound or vacuum at around 3k rpm’s. Does anyone know what this is? Power is a little more noticeable when it goes off.
I just had to ask because now I’m seeing the same symptoms in my LC. Did the same as OP headgasket, timing chain, guides resealed oil pump, ect. Before the rebuild had great oil pressure, after rebuild oil pressure took a dump. I did check and replaced the oil pressure valve and the oil...
So I’ve had good luck in the past installing aftermarket (elite gears) for a locked 80. This year I have the same problem, as a buddy, that he had when installing a set of 5.29 gears (G2) 3 months ago.
Problem, ring and pinion installers are having a hard time setting up the rear ring...
Okay so I think I fixed it.
I bought a cheap Amazon oil pressure gauge and my advise, don’t do it. I installed a new oil pump, noticed a little scaring on the outer ring so I replaced it with a new one from Toyota. Also bought a new crank bolt and retorqued to 305lbs. The Amazon oil pump...
Yes using a mechanics gauge, and just removed the crank bolt and first time I noticed oil on the treads and the washer. Retorqued, or as hard as I can pull it and still oil pressure at hot is really low almost zero. 3k. Oil moves to 40psi. At cold the psi at 1.5k is 55psi. Also using Toyota...
How about the center star piece?
Also I used black RTV instead of the rubber gasket that lays in the gasket channel. Would that cause a gap in between the oil pump and the crank?
I’m having a low pressure issue and the last thing I can think of is the oil pump. Little run down, engine head gasket blew and I ended up rebuilding the engine, complete tear down. Didn’t have any oil issue before and when I took the oil pump out to clean I did not know if there was a special...
