overheating

I love this truck and I'm so frustrated now after literally several years of trying to resolve this issue. FJ60 1981 2F. The engine was rebuilt 2+ years ago by Marlin of Marlin Crawlers. Very meticulous. It was replaced in the car by a guy who is less meticulous... but supposedly with new water...

We have a '73 FJ that runs really cold for the first 5 minutes. It has a 2F engine in it with a rebuilt Holley 2 Barrel carb. I have to start it and let it idle for about 5 minutes to get it to run right. It is almost like it is being starved of fuel. Once it is warmed up, everything is...

Hiya fellas, My GF is at her witt's end with the Samsung dryer showing the HE fault, which is "overheating". The #1 cause of this is the vent that's obstructed, which isn't the case here. I'm going sound out what my thoughts are and let me know if there's something else I haven't thought of...

Hi Everyone, looked around and never found what I was looking for so here goes. Had this 82 hj47 troopy for a year now. engine temp has been perfect the whole time, but as of recent, it has decided to over heat (or says its over heating) intermittently. normally the gauge reads at the low third...

Hi guys. I just replaced my steering rack today. I took off my whole radiator assembly. But after everything put back. My water temp went to the top. I quickly shut off the car and put more water in the radiator. Everything seems works fine. However I was waiting a train to pass. The temp slowly...

Ok, my radiator was starting to weep, so I ordered a new Toyota radiator, and was topping off coolant. My wife was just using for dropping kids off at school, but she went a bit further and LC overheated. I had her shut it off when she called. Replaced radiator, thermostat, hoses, and water...

So I picked up my 2010 GX460 at the long term airport parking lot last nite in the rain, fog and darkness. I drove the 55 miles back to my house and the last 12 or so miles and noticed what I thought was mud and water coming out from my rear wheels . As I got to lights of my small town I saw...

Sons car overheated on the interstate last Friday. It sounds like a radiator hose or the radiator itself failed. He's 12 hours away from me, but says it still starts. All kinds of misfires and engine lights though. 240,000 miles. No rust. Transmission has been shifting fine. He just had tcase...

I have a 1970 FJ40, original F engine, most everything is original as far as I know. Aftermarket temperature gauge, normally operates around 180-200 deg F. Once it gets above 200, you can tell the thermostat opens and brings the temp back down. Have had it this way for over 10 years without...

I have a 1984 FJ60 with 1HDT Diesel Engine and H55 transmission. When I first acquired the rig, it seemed to run hot; on a long hill it would go from 175 F to 215F. I replaced the thermostat with a new one (175F) and put in a new high capacity (375 HP capable) radiator and a 4000 CFM dual...

Occasionally when towing bigger trailers (1.5-2.5T), I very intermittently experience odd behavior, most obvious being like the car becomes speed restricted to 80-90km/h, overdrive seems to not work for a period. I swear its due to the auto transmission overheating but I have no way to tell for...

Hey! So, recently my land cruiser started overheating when idle for extended period of time. Accordingly i have replaced the following parts with new genuine toyota parts: thermostat, waterpump, temperature sensor, fan clutch (radiator/engine), fan motor (ac/the fan inside the grille on the...

Hey! Note: my car is 200 series but I’m posting here since some markets did not get the 200 series in 4.7l V8 option. So, recently my land cruiser started overheating when idle for extended period of time. Accordingly i have replaced the following parts with new genuine toyota parts...

I've been getting A/T temp lights. 1st time was shortly after my timing belt was done. I pulled over & found the Rad reservoir was empty. Let it idle as manual says to do for temp lite, added coolant & waited for light to go out. Continued on to an off-road trip and no issues. Few weeks later...

My 1984 fj60 tends to run pretty low oil pressure when its hot outside. In the cooler months and in the mornings it reads just fine. What could cause the low pressure readings when its hot out?

Good Evening All, Here is the noobie’s 1st question for the brain trust. The attached pics are the current setup on “Wilbur”, my newly acquired ‘73 piggy. Wilbur came from MA and ran consistently between 180 and 190 deg during test drive (it was 68 deg outside at that time). Here in South TX...

Yesterday after a short spin, my truck started to overheat. It went from normal temps to 280+ according to the Scangauge. I was able to get it home, I'm sure I should have just stopped driving when it happened, but I was close and there were other things going on at the time, which led me to...

Long time lurker here, first time posting. I've been reading countless of posts with others with overheating engines but I decided to throw mine into the mix... Back Story: I have a 1996 land cruiser, IFZE-FE, with almost 256,000 miles now. My dad bought it 13 years ago and I started driving...

Hey Crew! I know this has been answered many times but I wanted to resurface this issue with a few questions. Problem: Overheating while idle. Fluctuates from below middle line to above middle line. She has a completely new cooling system as of a few months ago with the exception of a fan...

Was driving through hot weather today and accidentally had the cruiser in second on the freeway and didn't notice. Did 5000 rpm for about 15 minutes until the check engine light came on and I noticed the temperature was in the red. Pulled over immediately, waited an hour for it to cool down, and...
