OK, there should be no problems then. Will try to find the cause.

Hi guys, I have the dual battery setup and i'm aware that it's not a good idea to take power from just one of the batteries. Even if it's just for a dashoard clock. Now, after loosing 2 yellow tops again in 5 years it got me wondering; i don't use the car that often and leave it on a trickle...

When I park my HDJ80 in Rotterdam (I don't live there) people make selfies in front of it. Nuff said.

Reading your story again; you live at quite an altitude. Diesels don't like that; not enough oxygen. There is a very special thingy in the fuel pump (can't really recall what exactly) that modifies the pump to the level of oxygen. Maybe that's broken. Try to search that in google.

I have a 1HDT as well and the injectors served; lousy job, still same problem. Went to expert who said was an expert and he said the specs aren't right; an acceptance of 5 percent is OK. So if you have injectors that vary between 95% and 105% you get problems. So had them rebuild again; same...

The bolt and plastic thingie can be flexed off. Remains one hole. Less chance of installing crooked. My plastic thingie broke off first time test install.

Leave the turbo alone; she won like it and it's no use without an intercooler. So first; install intercooler, fiddle around with the injectorpump (search for yourself) and install an egt meter. I left the engine completely stock; if I want to go fast, I take the motorbike.

Forget about drilling holes; I did that and you need 3 holes. One for a little bolt, one for a fixing thing and one for a spring which is on the underside. Mine is crooked. by the way. Just make the underside of the ornament flush and stick it on with sikaflex.

OK, thanks. Will do just that.

Batteries were still in car and connected. Didn't wait for 8 hours. So I need to test further? Or just start using the bloody thing, because she's been sitting in the barn for ages. Yellow tops are new anyway.

HDJ80 with 2 batteries (yellow top). Batteries were pretty empty, around 11 volts, started anyhow. Went for a 400 kms drive; figured alternator would top batteries up. However, volts didn't come above 12,5 with incidental 11,9, charging light went out, batteries didn't drain empty. That was new...

According to Mr. Toyota the max is about 6 metric tons! But according to law and common sense 3,5 tons is doable.

Mine were done about 100.000 kms ago; do I need to do it again? And from now on every 100.000 kms?

I searched for a couple of hours and just can't find it; I know there is someone out there who replaced his indicators into the small lights next to the headlamps and made a led bar into the space for the original indicator in the front. Needed some dremel work, but looked nice. Can someone...

ToyRoverlander; I send you a PM
