Noted. Thanks!

Thank you again. What a fantastic resource this forum is. All ordered. Can’t wait to rebuild the PS pump. I don’t know about previous rebuilds, but the truck has 518.000 kms. Dare we guess on original pump? Take care.

Thank you. Gold star. I saw a lot of talk about the bearing. As far as I can see, the bearing is in the kit I ordered. Can’t wait to rebuild the pump, it is leaking like crazy. So is the diesel tank:/ JB weld I guess.

For my HDJ80 with the 1HD-FT engine, do I need to order the O-Ring 90301-73004 and pressure line gasket 44327-30030 separately from the kit 04446-60070? Toyota Norway had never had any orders of the large O ring in its systems ever, they said. When I told them the part numbers for the large...

Update time. Job finished. The other side has what looks like a OEM birfield joint. For all I know its the factory one. A lot less wear. Repacked both thoroughly, did not switch sides. and no clicking at turns so far. Guess what Toyota Norway wanted for a new OEM birf? $2535(!) So next rebuild...

Thank you again. Will start a savings fund, and get new ones in at the next rebuild, or sooner(!) greased them up very good now, was very little grease in there when I opened. Switched sides. As you can see from the picture below, passenger side really needed a new axle seal. Funny thing is...

Thanks for the answers. Yeah they have chips and nicks in every hole of the cage. I may have noticed some clicking at sharp turns but not extreme. Anyway, they will stay in there for the next knuckle overhaul interval. Which is what for a road daily driven vehicle may I ask?

Hi all, and thank you for this community. I’m doing front axle rebuild and have just taken apart the Birfields. They looking pretty worn (check pictures). It’s kinda a daily driver, so at this moment I haven’t got the time to wait for new joints. And it’s also a high cost at the dealer in my...

Thanks for a great and informative reply. You seem to have a lot of knowledge about 80s. Will look into the Bypass filter. Will also look into EGR delete. Doing birf and knuckle rebuild here now. Best of luck with your 80!

Thanks! About the smog equipment, I think its about the markets, not the years. In some markets it was offered without EGR. My truck originated in Germany. congrats on getting an 80. It seems as if there are not many diesels over there in the US? How are the petrol vs diesel when compared in...
