It wont stop by the key anymore so how you manage to stop the motor is entirely up to you. :) If it starts every time, you have the problem somewhat isolated.

Re: 76 series auto conversion
Don't forget that the front tailshaft for the auto box/transfer is on the left hand side instead of the right hand side. Which means it will never line up with front diff. No idea if the 76 transfer will even fit to the auto box.

Mechanicals is the easy. Everything mostly bolts str8 in. Maybe different rad. Electrics are the hard part. Dash cluster, subtank switching is all different. Fuel pickups are different.

Easy job.
Undo bolt at front, best to lock in clutch with belt still on.
Remove very front part, don't drop or loose small washer that spaces out clutch from pully. This is a set thickness.

The only things on dash cluster that go to computer is speed sensor out, Taco drive in and Bulb for check engine light.
Maybe the computer doesn't like the led for the check engine light. The bulb is at 12V both sides till the computer grounds the wire thus illuminating the bulb.

Yes. there is that, but that isn't the only difference.
I have heard there was an update in 2004 sometime which was quite worthwhile.
I can neither confirm or deny this information.

Re: Broken speedo 80 series
I had an intermittent one. In my case, it was some brown crap on the speed indicator circuit board from an unknown source.
Sounds like you will need to replace the circuit board. If you are lucky, it may be a dry joint or a discrete component that is causing the problem.

Re: 1hdfte
I am talking about 79 fte and 100 fte. Info is hard to find but is out there. Ask a good diesel shop and they will tell you that the injectors between 79 and 100 fte's are different and not interchangeable.

There was an update in 92 to larger brakes. Also larger wheels (from 15" to 16" rims).
That is the only brake upgrade i know of.

Re: 1hdfte
I have read that the 100 fte has lighter pistons, Higher pressure pump, different injectors and an intercooler as well as different computer.
The 100 has as part of it's major service at 150K, to change the injector pipes as well as rebuild the injectors.

Re: 80 series hardnto change gears
My 80 started the shift problem. 4 changes later of vmx-m and still no improvement.
The redline is supposed to be even better for the shift problem.
Mine now has a h150f from a turbo 79 series.
Oh and also turbo motor from 79 series

Re: 80 series hardnto change gears
It is a common problem. Some swear by castrol VMX-M to improve the changes. Others say redline MT90 is the best stuff to use. If the redline doesn't improve things, you will need to rebuild the gearbox.
