alternator

Hey Friends, First time poster here. Just picked up my 05/85 FJ this weekend- drove about 6 hours away to get her and trailer her home. She could used some TLC, but she’s a 60 series wagon and she’s a beaut. She spent the first 21 years of her life down in Alabama and Georgia, so very little...

Hey guys, I've been slowly base lining my truck and have an interesting problem. At a certain RPM, about 650, the alternator shakes back and forth hitting the exhaust manifold. I actually suspecting the engine was knocking because of the similarity in sound and the fact that it happens when the...

Hello all, I’m new here and new to my cruiser in general. Just got a 1989 HJ61 RHD turbo diesel 12HT and am needing to learn more. Alternator just went out and so I am trying to understand the pros and cons of 24v vs 12v. Is the 24volt system just good for more starting power in cold climates or...

Hi all, struggling with an old diesel Toyota hi ace. So the van had no vaccum going to the brake booster and the vacuum pump on the alternator was doing nothing so I replaced the alternator and still no vaccum? Sent the new alternator back and got another new one but still the same thing? All...

Had a pretty terrifying breakdown yesterday and curious if anyone has experienced this before. Was driving on the highway when what’s displayed in the image occurred. Started with a loud pop and then dash lights coming on. I was able to shut the engine down by disconnecting the battery, because...

Would anyone have a picture or diagram of the 100 series alternator? Having trouble working with a headlamp seeing all the connections and bolts I need to remove. Thanks in advance.

Looking for some advice. I'm a mechanic with some decent Landcruiser experience but seem to be stumped on this 12V internally regulated, 3b Diesel alternator. It needs a rebuild, but I havent had any luck trying to find the regulator for it. I can find the 24V regs but not the 12V ones. Also...

Just had this rebuilt by Richer Electric in Oceanside. Warranty transfers with the sticker on the alternator. Denso parts inside. I'll cover tax. Local pickup. $120 takes it. Thanks for looking!!

G'day, I've just signed up in hope to shed some light on the problem I've got in my hj61 1986 12ht. I feel like I've read all threads related to charging issues read the workshop manual and done a tonne of Google searches and work on the cruiser with no luck. I was driving when the dash...

I had a heck of a time finding any information on this subject. I'm doing an om617 swap and am using the Dakota digital dsl-1e unit. In order to get a signal from the alternator you need a "w" connection, well the stock Benz alternator and the Saab 900 alternator don't have one stock so you need...

A no-start issue has me wondering how does a starter act as it dies? Do they tend to go quickly or slowly? Does it somehow gain friction, or does it simply do nothing? Battery charger is telling me the battery is charged but everything else says otherwise... freakin mysterious pixies.

Hi cruiserheads! So once again I am looking for some (good :D) free advice for my 85 fj60, Bitchy Bertha. The other day I was driving it home and my headlights seemed kinda dim but she drove fine for about 20 min, I then pulled over to make a phone call and my while she was idling...

Well, this will be an anticlimactic welcome post. Picked up my first 100 series 6 days ago, a 1999 Land Cruiser. Today, it lost power. Wifey was driving it in a residential area and it flickered and died. No charge, starter just clicked. Ate up most of the afternoon. Now it's at the dealership...

In case this helps anyone in the future. Before I purchased my 1 owner 2001 LX, the service records state they replaced the alternator with a Factory refurbished alternator about 20,000 miles ago. I don’t know what their problem was. As soon as I purchased my 2001 LX, I replaced that...

Belts are making an annoying squealing sound. I can not adjust the tension on the alternator because it is maxed out. p/o installed Gates: TR24664 for the power steering and Gates TR22401 for the Alt. both of these are too long. seems simple but my 3FE is also had its air pump removed...

Make me an offer on one or both of these. Both, to my knowledge, came off of 1F engines. You can't insult me - trying to make some space in the garage! Regards Calvin

I think all of us agree that the FJ60 is an incredible vehicle. I learned to drive in our FJ60 in La Paz, Bolivia, during the 1980s when my father was aerial mapping coca drug labs for DOD. It saved my ass when I rear-ended a Bolivian Cholo Bus (like the one below) -- I hit it hard and the...

Where do you guys recommend buying a replacement alternator for 2001 100 series LC? Carid has remanufactured Denso for $131 including core charge. Basic cost is $97. Anywhere more local? - toyota want ~$400

Good OEM alternator removed from a 1FZ-FE due to an LS engine swap. $50 plus shipping from 32433. USPS flat rate box. Thanks

I was rebuilding my alternator on my sons 2000 LC and the plug on the wiring harness broke like glass when I was taking it off. I bought a new plug, but when removing the remains of the old one I am not certain whether the wires got maintained in the correct order. My factory alternator...
