I’m pretty sure it’s not power steering fluid. I’ve collected samples from both the power steering reservoir and the drips that are coming off, and the power steering fluid is quite a bit darker and has a distinctive smell, whereas the drips that are coming off smell and look like clean engine...

It is, but I think that specific part is the same on both the HZ and HD engines.

Thanks for the help from everyone who responded. Between your inputs and some thread mining, I'm pretty sure it's the oil pump seal. I also found this thread addressing the job to fix it: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-replace-oil-pump-seal-w-pics.72514/

Once that seal has been compromised, I’m guessing it has to get replaced?

It may be overfilled. What would that result in?

Checked, and it is not leaking from the filter.

So following an oil change yesterday, I now have a pretty serious leak coming from the front of the engine near the fan pulley. I checked the oil filter and it is not leaking. Here is a link to a video of the leak. Can anyone help me identify what might be causing this? I’m not a big...

It was the fuel pump. The company accidentally shipped a manual pump without the throttle position sensor attachment and peg that the automatic has. Fortunately, I have a second pump I can use parts to make it work.

BLUF: 1995 HDJ81 (1HD-FT) won't go past 2000 rpm in Drive, but can in 2nd. In Drive it can't hardly get to 2000 rpm, and if it does and shifts to 3rd, it immediately kicks back down to second. Long story: I have a 1995 HDJ81 with 125k kilometers on it. I recently had the local Land Cruiser...

I'm stationed in Okinawa and bought a HDJ81 about a year ago. It's coming back to the States with me this summer. As stated previously, low mileage (kilometerage here) LC80s are not hard to find and generally not suspect. As mentioned previosuly, in the Tokyo area they don't get driven as...

Thanks. Is there any reason some people want anything more than that like coolant temp, ammeter, etc?

I've got an HDJ81 to which I'm adding a GTurbo Red Wheel, PDI Airbox and intercooler, and an upgraded fuel pump and injectors. What gauges/sensors do you recommend I install to go with these mods?

Good day everyone. I’m new to the forums, but will be moving back to the United States from an overseas tour in Okinawa Japan, and I will be bringing back a 1995 Land Cruiser with the 1HDFT engine. Are there any diesel tuning specialists in the USA that are familiar with the 1HDFT? I’m looking...
