Thread: Landcruiser 1hdt steep incline low idle/stop

Ok I have been lucky enough to get the opportunity buy the FIL's 1993 80 series. It's a factory manual with factory front and rear lockers. It's probably the most grandpa spec 80 you will find. It's had a lot of money spent on it before I got it, pump and injectors done among lots of other work.

Well, I was trying it out on a fairly steep farm track the other day which was very rough and run out of traction. No problem foot on brake, put lockers in. Foot off the throttle truck drops back to idyll then stops! Took a bit of turning over to get going again as well, when normally it barely turns over before starting. Got it going and carried on up to top of track.

So done a bit of internet digging and apparently this can be a thing with this set up. What say you all? Worked out a fix? Know what is causing it? Things I need to check?

BIL is a diesel injection technician by trade so have access to skilled help if over my pay grade.
