      wedgetail replied to the thread Filter cap wrench size - 90915-30002 - 1HD and 1KZ engine.
      You can use a strap with an extension and a ratchet. A wrench for a specific filter size is a poor investment IMO as there are approximately 100000000 different filter sizes out there. The multi grip/channel lock style are nice but often can’t...

      Hey, no sorry I sold this a while ago. Can’t you get a new unichip online?

      I’d bet money on it that the resistor was the problem all along - in my case cleaning of all of the contacts and replacing the resistor sorted the problem after much time and effort in throwing parts at it :)

      What mudge says… Basically, the oil lab will give you a break down of what metals and other substances (eg carbon/soot) they find in the oil. IIRC lead is one of the main metals in bearing material so high lead is an indicator of excessive...

      Your intercooler may be acting as an interheater sitting above the engine like that, i do see the hood scoop and fans but that could be limiting its effectiveness for sure Another thing is where you are measuring the PSI from. Your 13psi, if...

      wedgetail replied to the thread Which engine?.
      I’ve seen cab mounted gauges out by 2psi, but never suspected good quality test gauges to be out. Yes the ecu gets its signal from the map sensor taken from the intake manifold between the shutter and egr. To go higher than 16 here the signal...

      wedgetail replied to the thread Which engine?.
      Any chance your gauge could be out? ECU shouldn’t let it go over 16 (that’s a set point layed out in the service manual), and every other stock set up I’ve measured or heard of won’t push much beyond 14 if it’s lucky. Most won’t even make it that...

      Little light rigid jap trucks mostly 4cyl engines it’s true, but the medium and heavy truck sectors are almost entirely run on inline 6 cylinders. Not sure where yours came from - stock FTEs generally run 12-14psi max. The ECU aggressively pulls...

      You can't go past the H15* boxes for strength from a Toyota box. They were designed from ground up as a heavy duty 5 speed. 5th gear is integrated on the main shaft, and last shaft H55 started life as a 4 speed. 5th gear was added on the reverse...

      ok thx let me do some googling.thx

      wedgetail replied to the thread Which engine?.
      Any H15* box, preferably not an 80 series one though - the 100 and 79 boxes had various upgrades. You probably don’t need the high gearing of an H152. Some H151s have the shifter further back for 100 series GXLs, whether this is good for a 40 I’m...

      wedgetail replied to the thread Ticking with rebuilt injectors?.
      Video shows a 1HD-T. FTE has no timing marks it’s all done electronically. You don’t just align marks on a 1HD-T, they’re only used to get you in the ballpark - you use a tool that mounts a dial gauge to the plunger in the pump, you put the crank...

      wedgetail replied to the thread Ticking with rebuilt injectors?.
      This was going to be my first comment, definitely look at the timing. The fact Toyota rebuilt it (which is dubious in itself - Toyota don’t rebuild pumps they sell you new ones, unless the dealer outsourced the rebuild to a pump shop) is...

      From mild to wild: EGR block 3” exhaust Intercooler upgrade along with 2.5” intake pipework Boost T (can only go to 16psi) Unichip (or other chip, but Unichip is best) Gturbo/UFI (or other turbo upgrade eg Munro, Eclipse etc.), chip tuned to suit...

      wedgetail replied to the thread Which engine?.
      Yes you can, just a cheap wifi dongle and a smartphone will troubleshoot the engine. Wouldn’t say any of the sensors are specifically prone to failure - it’s a much more reliable system than one involving a MAF sensor which are pretty finicky...

      wedgetail replied to the thread Which engine?.
      There are a few sensors - manifold air pressure, coolant temp, air intake temp, RPM at pump, crank angle, pump timing sensor, and maybe more im Forgetting. But my previous statement still applies

      wedgetail replied to the thread Which engine?.
      A lot of people bring this up, but in reality so long as proper plugs have been used and the level of wiring is kept to a high standard they are no less reliable than mechanical (often more reliable). The ECU and driver units are more reliable...

      Interesting. The loggers round where my block is don't worry about money, time is the essence for them so they need something off the shelf, ready to go. New, for claiming tax depreciation. They wanted a troopy but had to settle for a dual...

      Numbers can be deceiving. HD-FTE and R2.8 have similar power and torque figures out of the box. The Amarok I have as a company vehicle is a 2 litre turbo diesel with similar power and torque numbers to the R2.8 too. It's chalk and cheese to a...

      No worries, sorry if I went off a bit hard. I’m in the bush too - Round here cruisers with FTEs are probably the most sort after - both utes and wagons as the new V8s don’t have the reliability and use more fuel. The prices reflect this - for...

      R2.8 is abysmal trash. The Toyota diesel OP has puts the R2.8 to shame.

      Yes but it'll take more than just discs on all four corners to keep 4.5 ton straight if something goes wrong at higher speeds. What is the max realistic speed that you need to travel? 110km/h? The people I knew with 45 series landcruisers drove...

      WTF? What rock have you been living under? 800k+ is the norm. I personally don’t know any that have died under 400k and I know a lot. Im excluding the random pics of failed ones with unknown histories on the internet. Mine is 510k and is as...

      For simplicity 1hd-t or 1hd-ft. For maximum power and torque 1hd-fte For best bang for buck, keep the 12ht. For power to match the weight you're hauling, look outside the box you've selected. I think the suggestion of Hino engine is an...

      You can get a 300mm pressure plate to suit the H55 easily. Agreed on taking it easy with the power though
