Recently a loud whining/grinding noise started while driving my 2001 Land Cruiser. I noticed that it got louder with RPM, but could not be heard of the AC compressor was turned off. AC still runs cold, so not sure what it can be. Hoping someone might have had a similar situation and I'm not...

Will be interesting to see what broke. Given the conditions nothing should have failed.

Last weekend we put in a new sending unit. The FJ cranked right up and and drove around no problem. This weekend we were doing some more work on the suspension and we could not get it to crank. We are not getting any fuel from the fuel pump up to the carb. We pulled the air filter off the...

I recently ordered a Harrop supercharger for my 21 LC. It's currently crated up and sitting in my dining room as I can't seem to find a local shop willing or able to install. I am therefore considering doing it myself. I'm pretty mechanical, but not a mechanic. Has anyone out there undertaken...

Pulled the motor out of my wife’s rig about 6 mos ago, and finally went back with the rebuilt motor this weekend. I can get the motor to run by adding fuel to the carb, but it doesn’t appear the fuel pump is sucking anything out of the tank. I’m using the original 3 line pump with a new spacer...

On a journey to diesel swap my 40, and am looking hard at the 15b-FT/FTEs. I have a potential source for an FTE, and originally thought one could just swap a mechanical IP from an FT and toss the electronics. However, I then came across that 1HD-FTEs cannot be easily converted to mechanical due...

Hi can anyone point me towards a thread (or provide the info) where someone has converted a 1kzte to a 1kzt? I am putting the 1kzte in my 70 to replace the 2lt so need it to all be mechanical.

Does a 1973 Toyota OEM fuel pump work fine on a 1981 2F? I am rebuilding a 2f and my existing mechanical fuel pump on my F works fine and would prefer to save a few bucks and transplant it to the 2f.

This is where Travis Pastrana & The Rising Sun Mechanical SKUNK-WORKS Laboratory live work & what he does that is so so dam dam Killer Kool ! :cool: . .

My daughter and I drove up into the hills, roughly 1500' of elevation gain from our house--5K to around 6500' at right around 90F. Right before we turned off the highway, my 1969 with 5.3L Vortec simply shut down. I pulled over to the side of the highway and tried to restart it--nothing...

Can a complete 93 be dropped into a 97 without too much effort?

I am original owner of 1978 FJ40. Replaced the leaking mechanical fuel pump with a Toyota mechanical fuel pump. It does not consistently pump fuel to the factory carb. I can be driving for a few days, week or month and then it dies and will not start up until it sets for at least 6 hours...
