Diesel needle gauge off
By steelholder
Hey all, the needle on the fuel gauge is offset by about 1/4 tank. Full goes 1/4 past the full line and empty is so where near the 1/4 tank mark. It moves normal besides that. What might cause this?

I live in Australia and I imported a classic car from the USA about 20 years ago. I would like to know the location details of the car prior to the details shown on the Arizona Certificate of Title (if any). Are you able to help/advise on how I can get location history on my car prior to ownership by Lori Dyson? The Arizona Certificate of Title as shown below. Thanks, Peter. Oh, attached are pics of the restoration; I have driven the car about 55,000 miles since the resto, only... Read more

Looking to add a small portable winch to my utility trailers for hauling up quads and golf carts and whatnot. My 80 had front and rear winches, so I had no problems dragging anything up on the trailers But now that she's gone, I rely on the Sienna to haul all my crap I figure a small portable winch that I could move from trailer to trailer would be useful

After alot of research i noticed a trend where its damn hard to find dyno videos or write ups on a genuine poor mans motor build, almost all the ones you find involved pistons and crank work, block/head decking, or extensive port and polish work/valve jobs ext. I wanted to see what could be done on a skeleton crew budget by an average joe who doesn't have decades of knowledge or skills to lean on. So i present, the TRUE bolt ons only 440 build. To start off, a 1500$ low miles 1969 440... Read more

So while completing all my recent engine maintenance, I noticed the screws to the AFM wiring input were loose. I tugged on it and soon after that, the Landcruiser was running, but then stalled. I did a diagnostic and got an error 24 on the check engine light consistent with intake air temp sensor (THA) failure. I opened the top carefully. The THA sensor wire connection to the circuit board looks like it’s torn off the PCB but I am having a tough time figuring out where is supposed to go and... Read more

I just received ios version 2.19.0 which promises improved key functionality as well as other "bug fixes." I am glad they continue to work on the key issues as they are my #1 headache with this vehicle. I installed the update last evening and then this morning the vehicle unlocked from deep sleep just as I approached it. I left the garage and returned a few minutes later and this time from "light sleep" it unlocked from even farther away. Since ux 3.0, it no longer locks when I walk around... Read more

I live in Baltimore and have a ktuner 1.2. I am not very knowledgeable about software in cars, etc. If someone close by can help me figure out how to run a tune, that would be great. I don’t own a laptop, but perhaps you might be able to assist with that too. the last place I went too about 7 years ago charged me just to use my ktuner to install & they only added a stage 0. Not sure why. I truly appreciate your time and I can drive to your area so you don’t waste gas or time. thanks

Hi all, Hoping I can get some input on this. I've been chasing an intermittent, light, higher speed vibration that I think I've narrowed down to the front wheel bearings being a bit too loose. I jacked up the car, grabbed the wheel at 12 and 6, shook the tire and there was noticeable play; not a lot but more than enough to feel. So i followed this thread https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/how-to-properly-torque-front-wheel-bearings.126331/ and the FSM. However... Read more

Hi guys. I've spent the last couple of months upgrading the Infotainment system in my 2005 LX 470 (NZ RH drive model). I thought I'd start a new thread here, as I think this info will be useful to others planning to do the same thing. I'll post updates to this thread, as I get time, to go over various aspects of the install, and how I solved the various problems encountered. General Overview My LX is in excellent, if not exceptional, condition. It's done 170,000km (105,000) miles... Read more

For any ship fans out there, this is the laker Roger Blough being towed by my place on Saturday. Down bound on the St.Clair River. A bit of a bad sign, I hope it is not on the way to be scrapped. A quick Google search did not shed any light on it's current status. It had been laided up since the start of the pandemic and then suffered a catastrophic engine room fire about 18 months ago. It may have been deemed not economical to repair. The Roger Blough was the last Great Lakes freighter... Read more

Hi everyone! I know there is a wide range of drop in turbo choices for our cars but will anything ever really beat the old PRL kit? I managed to get my hands on one second hand and I have no regrets choosing it over a drop in unit. I have many other 10th gen buddies who desire this kit and it is nearly impossible to get your hands on anymore. even their t25 adapter flange has been discontinued. As someone who is good with 3d modeling software I was able to construct a model of a t25 adapter... Bringing back full frame turbos for the 1.5t platform

Just picked up a 2015 Mazda5 with 150k miles, it was a one-owner vehicle serviced by a Mazda dealership its whole life. It's a southern car with no rust. Overall it seems well maintained, but the brakes feel sus to me. On the first press, I get a little hint of braking early, but have to push to about 1" from the floor before the brakes really grab. Once there, the pedal is firm and does not keep sinking. If I release and press again immediately, the pedal comes up much higher and firms... Read more

Hi all, New to the group and want to intro Lizzy. She's a 1991 1HD-T, GXL, with 366k km on the clock. I'm new to the 80 crew (had a '16 Prado prior) and couldn't be happier. Find Lizzy far more exiting to drive with a lot of character, and finally confident if / when things go wrong, I'll be able to fix them. I've had her for 3 months and in that time done the big end works myself, reconditioned all window motors and regs, and now tacking audio. Stoked there's a strong community here, and... Read more
