Hi All,
Long time lurker and off and on multi cruiser owner! My most recent project is a 94 FZJ80 that seems to be running very well. However when I'm holding the brakes down (stop lights, etc), there's noticeably more shaking on idle that I can feel on my feet, and amplifies dashboard parts that might be starting to loosen up with age.
Some notes:
- The truck idles pretty smoothly when just sitting on parking brakes. Cold or hot.
- 1FZ engine sounds great on idle and across the rev band
- Power feels great for its age
- Brakes are working well but may need new calipers/pads/rotor/brake lines (aging) for the fronts (as noted by a declined service logged by Toyota in its history)
- There are 0 noticeable leaks, all levels are good
- EGR has been deleted
- Exhaust pipes look old
- Front axle was rebuilt earlier this year, no leaks around the area and tested with a high mile road trip at high speeds, and light off roading on high/low center lock.
- No engine or brake lights on
The shaking only seems to happen when I have my foot on the brake. I would love to get some of your expert thoughts around this- or is this something normal with age of an FZJ80?
Thanks!
