issue

I lost cold air in the A/C unit a couple years ago. My mech (not a dealer and very good) re-charged the system and added dye. The charge lasted for about two years. Fast forward to two subsequent charges (and no leak location identified); the last was in July prior to a ~1200 mile road trip...

2004 Land Cruiser, will not crank. Battery good, horn blows, no sound from Starter Motor at all. Tried shifting in and out of Park, then Neutral, still no sound from Starter Motor. Before we have it towed to a shop to replace the Starter Motor I have a few questions: - is there a Fuse or Circuit...

I installed a new 1314-200 Sure Power battery separator to replace a very old one I think had gone bad. Two reasons on the old one. First, I've stopped hearing the distinctive clicking of the solenoid clicking open and closed. Second, I'd turned off my truck (senior moment as I have ALWAYS left...

Converted all interior lights to LED. I love the brightness and overall aesthetics of the change. I got em all too. Here's the issue. ONE light is having an "always on" issue. My CDL light on the instrument cluster is dimly lit all the time. I know it is a bulb/wattage/current issue because it...

Hey yall, 93 HDJ81- found my alternator output low. Brushes are extremely worn, ordered part (looked up part # on jp-carparts to make sure had correct part # for my import) from local toyota dealer and it's a bit different. My old brushes didn't have the plastic housing around the brushes and...

Hi, I purchased a 2004 LC last week and it was already set up with a lot of aftermarket ARB goodies. However the 2 solis lights mounted on the bumper don’t work. Upon further inspection I noticed the wiring harness for one of the lights is melted. I don’t know much about electronics but I’d...

Good evening all, 97 US FZJ80 - I very occasionally have an issue where the DS window will not come up after auto down. It’s like there is no signal to the motor. If I turn the truck off and then restart it the window works fine, this happens once every 4-6 weeks on a regularly driven truck...

More mechanically educated compatriots, any idea on why the brakes look like they're low on fluid after pressing the pedal a few times, but return to full if the vehicle sits a while? Bad master? Something else? There is inconsistent amounts of dead play in the pedal before the brakes engage...

Hey folks After searching the forum and other pages I plucked up the courage to ask a question here. Our 2002 100 series (2uz auto) has developed a issue with what looks like the duel battery system. The relay clicks randomly , sometimes while driving and sometimes when parked with the keys...

I'm using Coolerman's adaptor harness for installing an internally regulated alternator from a later vehicle into my '77. I had the alternator checked at the local Orileys to make sure it was charging. I've triple-checked the tie-in of the adaptor harness to the factory harness. per...

This issue is recent and I need to figure it if one of my solenoid valves is sticking or something. Conditions: pics taken during highway speeds. Over Drive is active, meaning the 80 is hitting 4th gear on the hwy. Turning the OD button off/on make the RPMs jump another 500rpm. Engine is...

Hopefully I’m in the right forum . I’m looking for help locating a replacement starter for the one attached. After a year of rebuilds and trying to locate a replacement I’m lost. Is there anywhere I can locate a replacement ? This truck was handed down to me and the mechanic is telling me he...

I'm sure its here, but I can't find it. I put OME 2.5" lift springs on my Fj40. I also put on new SOR greaseable shackles. After a year of driving around, the shackles are still nearly vertical, front and back. Is there a solution for this? I run a hard top from September to May, then...

We got the hub kit from trail-gear mainly for the felt outer seals, which are great. However, I've come across a problem when installing the hub. The seal isn't centered on the bolt circle. I've only done one side so far. And will probably drill our the holes in the other side to allow it to...

It won't start smoothly, something seem to be jammed/not initiating. I just changed the fuel pump (a recall) and the battery, so they are not the issue, it existed before these changes even. Please check the video link:

Any concern with rust based on these pics? Is a little too much?

Hello All, recently discovered rodent attack under the hood. So far, they managed to damage the engine cover (just the foam) and firewall insulator. I can probably get the new engine cover.. but wonder what to do with the firewall insulator? Is there patching available to help firewall insulator...

Hello Gang, I recently purchased a new alternator through Cruiserparts.net. I had them send me a used greeen plug and I need to know how to wire it! Same gauge same colors easy, what to do with the larger white wire left over? The last guy had a hitachi alternator and had different plug set up...

I recently acquired a 76 model LC with maybe the original 4 speed. PO installed a 350 w/Advance Adapters conversion kit. It appears the top shifter housing is missing the opposing "pin" which helps to secure the shifter. Any suggestions on how to repair? Thanks
