power

I am getting ready to make some replica power steering pump brackets for the FJ40 Land Cruiser. They will be based off of the original bracket and looks very similar. I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in them. The bracket will be for the 1979 and newer FJ40's that mount to the...

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows any threads regarding flushing power steering fluid or if anyone can give me an overview of the process. Thanks

$58 each shipped in the U.S. DS is SOLD.

My panel sits bolted flat to the rack and has worked well enough for the last couple years but the other day after reading again about how panel tilt bumps up the juice a bit I decided to rig up a tilt system. So I bought a set of adjustable lid stays, hinges and that was that. It's too cold to...

Having an issue with my 96' Land Cruiser...background, 211,000 miles, replaced engine at 200K miles with a used motor that had 70K miles. Truck ran fine. Have not had any issues, then truck died on road, would not restart, I was not driving it. Towed the truck approximately 200 miles, I was...

I have a 93 land cruiser that I swear I done everything to make it run perfect but I keep getting a random loss of power while accelerating that goes away after a few seconds then might not come back for 20 mins or the next time I drive. Other than that it runs perfect with lots of power. I...

Greetings Hive Mind, I have a 1997 FZJ80 that is fairly new to me. On the highway when I stomp the gas (as in passing a semi) it seems like the overdrive downshift effect occurs normally but then quickly I lose a lot of power. Does this symptom seem familiar to anyone and if so- what would be...

This started fairly recently, when I turn the wheel through the 10 O'clock position, I hear something akin to a power steering whine and then it goes away. If I turn it to the 10 O'Clock position and hold it there it doesn't whine. It's worse when it's cold and better when warm, but doesn't go...

Hi all, I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what the cause is : Automatic transmission. At the correct timing, its completely gutless. At slightly advanced timing, power is ok. There is no engine knocking at the advanced timing setting. RPM at correct timing hover around 650-700 in R...

Has anyone ever tried, and if so, with what results, to rebuild the gearbox connected to the window regulator motor? I have three of four windows which absolutely crawl when it's below body temperature outside. I don't want to swap them unless I have to. My guess is the grease in the gearbox...

I went out tonight a noticed a puddle under the truck towards the drivers side. It looks like it is coming from the Control Valve Housing on the steering rack. I checked the power steering reservoir and it was empty. I had not noticed any difference in driving. Anyone rebuild just the...

Has anyone ever had a pump snap in two peaces under normal driving this was a week old remaned pump

Underdog my ass.

Is there anyone out there that has done EPS on an early fj40 column? I am wanting to procure a kit to do this on my 1972 fj40 but the only write ups I have seen have been on the later columns and am wondering if it is possible or not to get this done on an earlier column? Any links to threads or...

I posted a sneak peek on Monday of a DC Power Inc 270 amp alternator I ended up purchasing for the Cruiser. I got around to installing it, along with the wiring kit I had user @Fourrunner make yesterday. Wanted to give everyone the low down on the install. First of all, my reasoning for...

The other day on my way home from work my '92 with 3FE suddenly lost power. Engine still running, just would not accelerate. Like it was either starving for fuel or timing retarded. At same time, transmission kept going back and forth from 2nd to 3rd. I pulled over and it idled high. Pressing...

So, I've really been focused on 2006-2007 LCs because 230 (or 235) hp vs 275 hp is about a 20% boost. That's pretty significant. But is also VERY limiting in terms of available vehicles during my searching, and most will have other "features" I'd rather not have (NAV and AHC). So, is it possible...

My cruiser bj60 stock seemed to run great going up hills, then underwent some repairs as the suspension was pooched, also the stock tires got swapped for 32x10.5x15r. At this point I was stuck out of town going to pick up a 1700lb BigFoot trailer (17ft) My ride home was mainly flat highway...

I know the LX and LC call for Dexron but would Lucas Oil PSF (not the stop leak) really harm the system? It says it's compatible with all systems...Hmmm I wonder. I went to change mine and it was black so I took some out of the resevoir with a pump and refilled with Lucas Oil PSF. Drove around a...

my 07 lx470 has 260k miles of dirt, sweat, and funk on the original seat belts. I googled how to clean seat belts and read about using a powerwasher to remove the dirt and grime. before pics...
