If the radiator has a transmission or oil cooler built into it, they can fail inside the radiator and the atf & oil pressures both exceed radiator pressure and will pump oil into the coolant. Open & inspect coolant for contamination. Both oils are lighter in weight than water so will float on...

Can’t see the source in the video. Clearly above the lower radiator hose. Might have to pull the fan shroud to gain access. Follow the cooler lines.

Idk current prices, maybe. Grease - each of the upper pivot point on A arm gets 1 pump roughly every 20,000 miles. End of maintenance. In the time you replace stock shocks twice on FJ- still nothing to the icon. When it does finally fail the rebuild kit is $17 and supposed to take 1.5 hours...

Welcome

Just because the pics are here, a zoomed in pic to teach whoever… Red arrow where bearing tab goes is never altered. See how sharp the edges are. Green arrow you can see I “broke” the edge. Basically file off the sharp edge. Sharp edges are where cracks start, and micro pieces chip off and...

Well- going higher volume or higher pressure or both adds more load to the oil pump drive & camshaft gears and this of coarse consumes power from the engine. I hear people say “50 HP LOSS!” But when i was running sbc hotrods I went from stock to hv/hp and never saw a 10hp loss iirc that was a...

I definitely wouldn’t say alter geometry. Keep stock height & travel for her rig for sure. But look into the Icon option ls before you buy. Icon to Toyota is like Carol Shelby was to Ford. The engineers from TRD (Toyota Racing Development- actual Toyota engineers) then joined with...

You might look into the Icon suspension. The FJ we bought from the original owner, he installed it front & rear. It is an amazing difference compared to other FJs.

Maybe someone will leave toyota parts in one of the treasure boxes?! 😂

Thanks Chris. I just realized in post #4 the picture I posted that has the picture. In the picture is some texting notes that didn’t all come through. Please ignore them- it is misleading how it shows up in the pic.

Sorry, I forgot the stock part number of M255294S This is what came stock in all the piston oil squirter blocks. The M255HV294S is the one that is 10% more volume and a higher pressure spring. SO THERE IS 3 OPTIONS 6.2 and non squirter 6.5 with squirter 6.5 with squirter high volume & higher...

Ok, got off phone with Brian in the Melling Tech Support. They still only offer the two pumps, standard and HV. Then the different pickup tubes for the 2 different pan. He said: gear end play spec is 0.004-0.008 Gear : housing side is 0.002-0.005 Tighter the better for increased efficiency &...

Also while I’m thinking about it- Im hoping someone makes a steel retainer piece on the oil pump drives like they do for sbc, bbc oil pump drives. Does anyone know any secrets like if one of those, a ford, etc will work? Our lifters btw are same a some fords. Whats gonna happen at some...

Any info on what brand, part number, or who makes it or sales it? So far Summit & Jegs say no, just these two. It’s important for buyers to knkw the difference on non squirters vs with because the sales people at both didn’t understand the difference- they just say normal or hv and don’t...

I can see Paveltolz buying a 5 stick pack of gum every Monday at 7-11 with a $100 bill and the clerk sighs “all $5 change again sir?” Haha. Awesome man. @Big T heck yeah she needs that picture, you go & take the picture of her holding her dog under the sign. Goofy trips just for the fun of it...
