Hi-
I wanted to see if anyone has a similar issue for their FJ80, I have reviewed multiple previous posts but can not seem to a similar issue. I have 91 FJ80 with 165k miles and here is the issue. When driving to work this morning I noticed when idling and driving under 25 mph a small rattle/rotational "plink" sound which I think my be related to a belt that is too tight when I replaced the alternator. But as I started to get the engine warm and get the rig up to 45 mph I began to hear and feel 2 clunks back to back when I would accelerate. I was hoping to get any insight to what would make the rotational plinking sound and if it may be related to the clunking I get when the engine is warmed.
I have noticed that the voltage gauge is swinging between 12 (middle line) when not driving and 14( between top and middle line) when driving. The oil gauges seem perfectly fine. The clunking does not seem to be related to the axle as it doesn't happen when I turn. I looked at my belts and they all seem to be there and not slapping around.
Any thoughts if you had a similar problem would be appreciated.
