Th below pictured transmission pan is on its way to my place for testing on the Land Cruiser AB60F transmission. It is a prototype in the as cast finish. Fluid capacity has been increased by 3.25 quarts, so the total transmission circuit should hold almost 15 quarts total. How much cooler it...
So I have an issue where my truck runs fine when cool and after a few minutes of driving but anything longer than say 10 minutes the engine wants to run at very high idle at all times. Almost 2000 rpm. Anyone had this issue before?
For those of you who run your rig at high altitudes, say 4000-5000 ft, what type of jet do you use in your carb? The assumption here is that you're running an Aisan, Trollhole or other aftermarket equivalent carbs. Also interested to know where did you buy your jets from. Thanks in advance.

I like to work on my truck and do what I can with all the info on this site, but some jobs I know I could not do. I have a 94 with a bad rear main leak. Any one out there know of a reputable shop or mechanic with knowledge of these trucks in central Colorado (im in Eagle)? I know about SLee in...
I'm thinking there's very little an amateur can screw up on fixing the rust on my rig. The panels are flat, and replacement sheet metal for the tricky parts are widely available. There's no interior trim or upholstery to dick with, and I'm not a stickler for deadlines, originality or...
So I took my new FJ62 in to get smogged today and they couldn't perform the test because the rpms idled at 1300. They said it kept shutting their machine down because it was too high. They believed it needed to be around 800 and recommended a specific mechanic (which they're not allowed to...

My '66 FJ40 hasn't had a high beam indicator in the dash for a long time. When I was working on the light switch recently, I realized that someone had run both the RY and RW wires to the headlight terminal on the switch. Looking at the writing diagram, it looks like RW should be hooked up, but...
Does anyone know if it is possible to temporarily input a modified signal to the IAC valve to initiate high idle?
I'm thinking this might be pretty easy on my OBD1 1fz-fe.
