Registry 3FE Owners Check-In (6 Viewers)

[ToyotaMatt]

Just purchased a new Bible, I’m new to fj80’s but growing up we had one of these for every car we owned, (this or chiltons) I’m not sure how handy it will be if parts become the issue, but it’s nice to have a baseline reference for torque specs, etc.

this is one of the first solid long term investments you can ever possibly make ...

the 2nd solid one is below , only ever invest in a real paper print media phone book size spec, 1 or the volume 1 and volume 2 if applicable on any toyota

the term PDF = sketchy and often incomplete and also often mixed modle years too , i have seen both many times is why i tell you this now ,,is not only my opinion , its a verifable fact you can google and faq check your self ,

Ebay is great place for both oem toyota types ,

however i have see cheap knock offs of the usa re prints , and sor .s own in house reprints too ,,,,

if unsure on any counterfeit fsm or part it self too for that matter ,to now a days , post the ebay link here for example and simply ask for a 2nd opinion , you will get plenty too , which is why i suggest this to you ...

,you need to know this is the why here

depending on your modle year , below are the other 2 choices .....


anywhere you can find the green and black original made in JAPAN toyota material handling , and the later TOYOTA oem usa reprints too ,

SOR.com is the only 3rd place if the 2 above do not pan out for you for any reason , the reprint there own ones , incorporate front back and side spine heavy duty plastic covers too

nobody on planet earth ever did this then or now in 2024

only TOYOTA did both type , but no longer makes the usa based print paper re-prints , they are very dam close to the green and black japon made printed ones too ......!


see tech pics below , note each toyota publication # on the modle year you need too , compare to any pre owned once , good habit to know and use , i use it 24/7 on any oem paper print media product toyota ever made too ...

This is the exact reason I have been pursuing an affordable high quality re-print to offer. We just got our sample from a Toyota Authorized company and excited to go through it, If it works out we should have it on our site soon enough to share here.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for replying.

Let me clarify a little bit.
The connectors for the sensor (female and male side) are undamaged.
What I'm actually trying to splice is the wires themselves back to the harness above the transmission.

Hopfully this clears things up.

Thanks!

your keen alert awareness factor at all times while Durchgangsphase any Land Cruiser part has served you well ....

most excellent mr wisky....

zero in on the qty sold 18 and qty remaining 4 too ...

- combined with the 3-D photo-shop front cover image only here ..........100% a home-office type mega-size table top Office Depot printer ....

the pages inside will be common white paper , nothing special ....

the front and back covers ?

- i have seen these re-print bandits do a neat full color glossy photo paper , then heat press laminated on the kitchen island using the 8 1/2" x 11" version of my T-TEN dorm-room-size-spec State of Wisconsin fake ID Empire i had going on when i was also under age 21 too ,.....

- if your making a snappy cover system for your Sh#tty-PDF Olive-green / Black cover system , one would think it would be proudly displayed below as well ?


- this is one concrete text-book example , among more then a hand-full to NEVER ever even click a PDF Land Cruiser icon in a pinch for any reason ....

- those files , get copy and pasted and downloaded so many many freaking times , that having the wrong modle year land cruiser entire volume in between your Ghetto-Grade stand alone PDF for the VECTOR files K-MART 3-D photo shop ones happens often .....

- i have seen more then one land cruiser pdf here on mud that that the front cover said for example : 2F Engine , and the 3-D color cover art was the dessert tan .....8/80-9-87 FJ60 and 8/80-10/83 FJ40 ....


- to find then that the early Grey 2F FSM 1/75 - 7/80 Fj40 FJ55

- PDF Files were both intermingled in random hodge-podge way , you could flip the page and the nest step by step was for the FJ55 ,. and the page just prior was the FJ60 you are working at the moment .....


so this is the WHY factor on why i hate the letters . P D F

Question for the 3FE guru's does this sound normal or a thermostat issue? Am I just being OCD because now i have a gauge to look at? The factory dash gauge has always stayed right in the middle (once warmed up)


I really wanted to know what coolant temp was actually running at on the 3FE 80, I decided to go with the koso gauge. The small digital read out is perfect for a quick glance.
The truck has always run fine, I've had no cooling problems to mention. Now with that said I finished the install and let the truck warm up in the shop for a few, all while waiting the numbers rise on the gauge. Took it out for a 30ish min drive and the hottest it would get while driving 169*, this is moving at 60 mph with the ambient temp around 56*. Drove it home and proceeded to let it run in the driveway at idle for another 20-30 mins, hottest I saw was 174* So it running cool ( better than hot ) I'm starting to wonder if the thermostat is stuck open but again this is kinda a case of "creating a problem out of nothing"

What do y'all think?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your sensor location is exactly where mine is as well. I found the sensor is prone to heat soak a bit when the engine is running for an extended period of time, so i wrap it with some heat resistant sleeve and it is better. Here is a pic. of my 2 kosos side by side.

awesome, I appreciate the response Marco, what are you typically seeing temp wise out of yours? i assume your second is trans temp?

Currently i am running a dual elec. fan setup with a PWM fan controller, and i have yet to see my temp gets over 195F on long climbs. and 175-180F on normal stop and go traffic condition. I am OK with the temp readings and have the ability to adjust fan speed is a game changer. My previous setup w/ the same alum. radiator , a modified green hub with 15k oil and tuning, i would avg. 187-190F, and around 210 or so on long hill climbs, which is acceptable as well.
Yes, the other reading is for the tranny.

why don't you keep the Factory Gauge Sender for the cluster meter also hooked up too Andrew ?

[Marco Lau]

Just FYI. The stock temp gauge stays in the middle between 160-220F somewhere around there. It will start to creep up right around 225 past 1/2 mark and when it hits 235 or so, it is around 3/4....In normal driving condition, it is not possible to see temp over 200F unless something is not running right in the cooling department in normal driving condition. Usually the fan clutch needs some TLC or your old radiator is tired. I ran the entire Rubicon/Fordyce creek trail with a busted radiator and just a pusher fan last year, and my temp hits around 230 the entire way. I wouldn't recommend doing that, but the 3FE is a beast and can take lots of abuse....I wouldn't bet against the 1FZ though given the same scenario. I have since replaced my entire cooling system, overhauled with a duel electric fans and PWM fan controller and my temp never go past 195F even on long steep hill climbs in 2nd gear @ 4200 rpm.
