    A/C Woes-it’s the little things

    By 2mbb

    So last year I converted my A/C from R12 to R134a refrigerant. I built new hoses and changed the drier, the expansion valve, the thermistor (still available from Toyota),etc. I did not replace the compressor or the condenser or the evaporator. I used the Toyota TSB to guide me. Another thing I needed was the adapters the convert the R12 fittings over to quick connect fittings used for R134a. Everything went OK and it did work when finished but I did struggle with getting the refrigerant... Read more

    Hemi lifter tick

    By Rudy Gragg

    Hey all, I drive a 2020 Ram 1500 that has 148K miles, and the engine has started ticking. I have two questions #1) is there any oil additives that can be added to get the tick to go away. #2) is there any assistance options from Ram or third party agency that can help with repair cost?

    Easiest way to remove Brake booster?

    By QRindustries

    Long story short, i have a vacuum leak in my booster and i bought a bendix style brake booster for my dodge coronet that has front discs, what is the easiest way to remove to 4th bolt (top right) ? the other 3 are easy to do but i can barely get a wrench around it. and even if i get it on i don't have enough room to turn. any videos showing people do it on there B-body show them with half their dashboard or steering shaft out. and that seems like a lot of work for 1 bolt

    My First 40

    By My77FJ

    Hey everyone! I wanted to share some pictures of my new project, a 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 68,000 miles on the odometer. I’m located in Montana and recently picked this one up in California. From what I can tell, it has minimal rust for its age and appears to be a pretty complete, mostly original truck with OEM parts and no aftermarket modifications that I’ve noticed. I’m new to restoring these, so I’m learning as I go. One thing I’m currently dealing with is a mouse infestation... Read more

    727 Question

    By Roadhunter

    I pulled my transmission for the engine removal and rebuild and noticed something. When I drained the pan there was quite a bit of sludge/butter on the magnetic drain plug. I have attached a few pictures and it seems like a lot of material. Also when I pulled the convertor I kind of shook it from side to side and looking down the shaft I could see the gears moving a little and seemed loose. I don't know anything about convertors or transmissions for that matter. I haven't been able to take... Read more

    "Forsaken 40" ~ 1st & Last Frame-off Build

    By Drake2

    Well the time has come to start the build thread that I have been prepping for over 3 years now. After years of reading, researching, and tons of questions, I was able to lay the plan out. This provided me with a good idea of what parts I would need, and after buying up most of the parts I could lay my hands on in the 3 surrounding states, I have acquired the majority of what I will need thus far. I have had plenty of 40's over the last 20+ years but they have always been minimal builds... Read more

    Side markers

    By ajarofclay

    Hope this isn't too dumb of a question but... Doing a check on all my bulbs and it appeared none of my side markers worked. For those that aren't familiar with me or haven't seen me state it before, I don't know D*ck about electrical. I changed the bulbs and they do appear to work now. One popped for some unknown reason but I replaced it and it's good now. BUT, SHOULD THEY FLASH WITH THE TURN SIGNALS because mine don't. I would think they should but being that they are only five years from... Read more

    1973 Dodge Dart Sport

    By ScottofKSU

    I am another Chevy guy who found their way to some awesome Mopar cars. First, my wife's dream car was a new Challenger. She thought she wanted an SXT AWD, but I had her drive a Scat Pack/Widebody first. After that, none of the other models on the lot would suffice. So, we brought home a 2021 Challenger Scat Pack Widebody the day after Thanksgiving in 2022. Then in 2023 my dad passed away and I inherited his rust free 2001 2500 Cummins. Then my second oldest son needed a car after the 1996... Read more

    1998 JDM Land Cruiser Build

    By Sean81

    I've had my RHD 100 in the US for almost a year now and I thought I'd share some of my experiences: Having a right hand drive isn't bad, but I wouldn't really recommend it unless you get something "worth it", like something clean and low mileage or a diesel. I installed a GPS speedo as I don't like doing math while I drive. Drive-thrus aren't a big deal, I just lean over. Almost all the mechanical parts are interchangeable on my 2UZ-FE cruiser, so that is nice. I get most of my parts from... Read more

    My #4 crossmember has cancer

    By BonS

    I saw what "appeared" to be "some" rust on my rear crossmember today. I began digging into the rust to see the extent and it isn't pretty. The passenger side of the crossmember looks great, actually. The driver's side not so much. The picture shows what I can see from the outside after I picked away everything that I could. I'm thinking that I have two or more remedies. I can seek a frame shop and have them cut away everything that's too badly rusted and then weld on new hot rolled steel as... Read more

    Has replacing the DPF fixed regens issues long term for anyone?

    By jejb

    Like so many 22+ CTD owners, my truck was great until it got in the low to mid 20K miles range. The DPF would regen, of course, but almost always at the 20-23 hour mark. Since then, it's pretty much one after the other, 4 hours on the last one, and the gauge went from 0 to 1/8 almost immediately after the regen. I pretty much never use the truck except for towing. Wife and I have been discussing getting rid of it and going gas, which I don't want to do as I live in hilly country and go to... Read more
