I've had to put my starter into a shop for rebuild. This lady, Cindy, has been rebuilding starters and alternators for 30 years. She said, as I walked in with it, "Ah, an old Denso unit." After testing she said that the solenoid need rebuild and seemed confident that athe guts of a newer Denso...
While running an errand last night I noticed the voltage gauge in my 1985 FJ60 was very low (around 8-10 volts depending on whether or not I had the lights, fan, or turn signals on). The truck had been sitting for about a week so I thought maybe something had been left on or one of the doors had...
So I have been having this battery drain which I originally thought was because of an old battery. After replacing that with a new one I realized I was only getting 13.3v at the battery when charging, so I replaced with a new Alternator. I now get 14v at the battery and about 14.4 direct from...
Hello Every one, My name is Usman and I am from Queens, NY. I just found out about this site. It's a pleasure to see so much stuff on the 70 series as I finally got my hands on one. I will attach some images of the work I have done on it. It's a 1994 KZJ78 Prado. I am looking for a high output...
The alternator for my 11/77’ FJ55 gave up the ghost last week. I’m 99.9% sure this bad boy from city racer is the correct replacement but looking for confirmation before I install and turn the key. City racer site says this one is good from 9/77’-9/83’
1. What is the thingy that I’m pointing to...
Hi there,
I’ve been trying to fix what seems to be an electrical issue with my 2001 Lexus lx470. Every thing works great when i turn on the vehicle, The 15 gauges fuse blows and therefore my alternator won’t charge. I’ve replaced the battery, alternator, and VSS. The only error code I got...
HI guys, 80 series 97 LC used to be daily driver but for now is sporadically driven. Will sit about a month and would be hard to start but now not starting. I've changed the alternator (it was bad), new belts, new toyota fusible link, new battery, NGK wires, Toyota distributor, Toyota rotor...
I've been poking around here reading up on GM alternator swaps and I had a few questions. I'm going to be installing a PowerMax CS130 on the Vintage Air bracket made for this purpose. I'm going to be doing a 1-wire configuration, running a 6 gauge cable to the battery and a 6 gauge ground to the...
Anyone swapped out their alternator pulley?
FSM calls out SST 09820-63010 be used for the nut. For those not familiar, the shaft head is sized for a 10mm wrench, and must be held while the 22mm nut is loosened/tightened and torqued.
Any easy way of doing this without the SST? I hate to have to...
Couple of extras from when I had my 80. Buyer pays shipping.
Alternator: $100. This was putting out low voltage so I replaced it with a reman from toyota which needed some modification to fit. Kept this planning to have it rebuilt.
Fuel filter, OEM, New in box. $40
Air cleaner hose, used...
Howdy all - well my alternator is making 'whirring' noises so it's time to shop, just thought I'd check here first to see if anyone has something decent you're looking to sell or unload.
I'll probably go with something slightly bigger than the stock 80 amp model, but don't see the need to go...
In my 97 LC, recently, I noticed the alternator light had come on, periodically, but eventually seemed to go away and volt output gauge, when the light was on, was showing under half output and then when the light went out, it jumped to above half output. The car has been working fine, but...
77' FJ40
Had the truck for over a year now and finally beginning to troubleshooting inconsistent headlights/wipers between idle and driving. seems that all signs point to the alternator/voltage regulator. Been chasing the wiring all thru the engine bay and i can't find a voltage regulator...
I am scratching my head. By incident I found out the glow plugs won't turn off and killed my alternator. Once replaced I felt the wire to the battery were hot!
The car is 1985 HJ75 Troopy with 2H motor.
Anyone had similar experience? I am just starting to read about the system including the...
Does anyone know how much current the OEM alternator can provide while the LX is idling? I'm wanting to use a DC/DC charger to charge a trailer while the LX is idling in camp (as an alternative to a portable generator), and am wondering how much current I can realistically count on.
// edit -...
Figured I would share this for giggles and for anyone curious about alternator rebuilding. Last summer my high output alternator roasted a bearing so I swapped it out with an OEM that I had kept in storage for many years to use as a backup. Well I suspect the sub zero temps we had a couple...
BJ 42 is a 1979. PO did a PAINLESS wiring harness install. Can anyone tell me what these three cut wires used to do that are leading in to the alternator bundle?
