Does anyone know the ratings of a stock OEM clutch for the 1hdft? My 80 was optimized by a dyna test and torque is now 511 Nm at 1775 rpm. BUT I have been doing a bit of light towing, and the clutch is now slipping in 4th around peak torque. It as a genuine Toyota clutch with max 20K on it (4...

There is a clunking sound from my steering wheel when rotating lightly from side to side. The sound is only there on the rotational direction, not when pulling steering wheel in/out. There sems to be play somewhere at the top of the steering column/steering wheel - It is not in the rubber joint...

After doing rotors, pads and brake shoes, the e-brake on passenger side is acting up: It binds up much sooner in the reverse direction than the forward direction when adjusting the cog wheel at the rotor. Also in general, it does seem more "sticky" on the forward direction compared to drivers...

Will have a go at it... Thanks :)

I need to replace the slide pin boots on my rear calipers. The bottom hole is a "normal" type boot that attaches to the opening of the pin bolt hole in the caliper. But the top hole is a different kind, that goes through all the way through the hole, illustrated in the attached (47769-22010). I...

Just fitted ironman sbext005 swaybar ext kit, but it seems that the holes through which the rod/hanger which connects to the stabilizer bar, are not alumnes/centered the Stock brackets. Does this look right? Seems that SBEXT005 previous was the bracket kit I have mounted, but According to...

Probably why the 1HD-FTE has a 150K timing belt service interval with it's electronically controlled injection timing I guess.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. I saw this "hint" in the FSM too but was not sure if this in fact is the specified service interval for my region - but you are probably right that it is the same for all regions then. Also normally the manafacturers would specify for example 100.000 km...

I have been trying to find out which replacement intervals apply for the timing belt of a 1HD-FT (24-valve). Apparently it is not stated in the FSM, or at least I cannot find it. From what I understand, the replacement intervals can differ from region to region, so I am after the European data...

The 2 new belts have been tightened and re-tightened. Using a crowbar against alternator and engine as the factory adjustment screw and bracket tend to bend. I dont think it should be tightened further. I know that they are supposed to be very tight - there is a lot of pull on these two rather...

On my 1HD-FT the alternator/water pump belts keep squealing once and a while. I have replaced them with new Continental from same production batch - In other words they are not paired from Toyota, but are of the same production lot at Continental. The belts are tightened quite according to...

Thanks for the info. I am currently waiting for a reply from iron man regarding differences between their 80 series and 105 series item numbers. Maybe some minor things like brake line spacers etc.

I am trying to find out, if a set of Iron Man side steps for the LC105 series will fit on a 80-series. The chassis should be identical, but I was thinking that maybe body mounts etc. have been moved on the 105 series, to accommodate the 105 body? The sidesteps are the bolt-to-chassis kind, not...

Right, thanks... :-)

OK, thanks, will have a look at the so called "tuna can" :-)
