Hi All
1984 fj60, re-built 2f engine...has been running great.
Today was driving on the highway at 65 MPH. Heard / felt a bit of a bang. Pulled off within 1 minute. Engine running opened hood. Nothing missing, nothing leaking. Belts still in place and look good. Could hear a whine coming from front of engine (water pump, air pump?). Lots of highway noise so decided to try and get to a side road. Limped off to a side road, the whine continued and varied with RPM. Parked and shut off engine. Looked around. Nothing obvious to me. Not overheating. Started up again...and everything ran fine and no noise. Drove slowly home on side roads. Made it. No noise. No leaks.
Something is failing.
Last time I posted, I thought I was having problems with water pump. I looked at the water pump and it seemed everything was fine. But maybe I was wrong and it is the water pump.
Could it be the air pump? Truck is desmogged but air pump is still there.
Thanks for your advice. Had to cancel the family camping trip...
