Thanks for the input; my opinion as well. I have free AAA towing, so tow it I shall.

Is there any harm in driving it the 15 miles to the Landcruiser shop? When driving it home this morning, it didn't feel any different than it ever has. I was just driving on backstreets at no more than 45 mph, no freeway.

Well, this morning the whining suddenly stopped. I think this is because the turbocharger has frozen-up. This seems to be indicated by my boost gauge going more and more negative the more I accelerate. Instead of running 1.8 to 2.0 psi, it is running -0.5 to -2.0 psi.

Thanks for the input.

Thanks much for the input!

I have an '84 FJ60 with 1HDT transplant. It has always run extremely well and never had any "turbo whine" whatsoever. I was driving today and part way through a short trip, I noticed that, all of a sudden, I have a very noticeable turbo-whine. When I pop the hood and listen, there is...

Yeah, I always have too.

Thank you.

Many thanks for the useful information. I've been driving it all wrong!

Thanks much for all the excellent information. I am pretty much diesel-ignorant. I've been impressed with how smooth this rig runs, and the mileage, compared to my V8, has been wonderful; I'm getting 23 on the highway (mountain passes included) and 19 in the city. I only get a little smoke...

I am the third owner, and, unfortunately, all the set-up details are unknown. Just assuming that turbo is stock. Don't have boost or EGT gauges. What is a "normal" temperature range for a 1HDT?

I have a 1984 FJ60 with 1HDT Diesel Engine and H55 transmission. When I first acquired the rig, it seemed to run hot; on a long hill it would go from 175 F to 215F. I replaced the thermostat with a new one (175F) and put in a new high capacity (375 HP capable) radiator and a 4000 CFM dual...

Nice information; thank you.

Thanks for the info!

Chuckle! Easy mistake
