I have a 1992 Prado with the Turbo Powered 2LTE. Got the head Replaced. Used the Evans waterless coolant. The truck seems to have absolutely Zero ability to cool itself. Goes Very quickly to red high temp line and then stays there. The transmission has overheated and dripping transmission fluid...

So I had the head replaced and used the water-less coolant. about 2 years ago. Generally I just use my truck to run around town. Today I was going to drive 480 km and two things happened. 1) I noticed that that heat gauge was in the red pretty much the entire trip. 2) When I looked at the...

UPDATE: So new battery installed and charged. IT WAS THE BATTERY! Weird that it would still read 13 volts and crap out...... anyhow. I did have trouble with a loose negative. That was causing the smaller grounds to smoke. Again: weird. Never would have thought. I Tightened up everything. All...

Just wanted to follow up. I charged the new battery and switch it in. What a difference!! Problem solved.

I left my battery in my 1992 Prado over the winter. Disconnected it to prevent discharge. I Hooked it up in the spring and all I get are rapid clicks. Purchased a new battery. Used jumper cables to quickly attach the two batteries together and try it out. Now its a Slow and low crank. No start...

Any suggestions on where to buy a Inter cooler?

The 2L-TE re-build Project is finished! Here is what I have learned. I got a un-dressed 3L head from the United Emirates for $1000. I should have gotten it with the valves and camshafts mounted. The $300 I was quoted by the local machine shop to swap the valves eventually spiraled into $700...

Where can I buy valve clearance shims?

As this project progresses I gots the parts coming in from all over the world. Turbo From Hong Kong. Cam shaft bearings from a Cranky dealer in Australia. OEM valve adjustment tool from the United Emirates. The one thing that I have not been able to source is a injector rebuild kit. That should...

The hardening is wearing out on the camshaft. New Camshaft? If "Yes", then where is the best place to get it from?
