    best explanation on 1kd failures
  2. DragoPrado

    New buyer need some advice.

    Buying a used 1kd can be a bit of a project. Have injectors been replaced and was an egr blocking plate been installed? Take a look at my journal to see what kind of a mess is a stock 1kd with 149k kms

    I pulled some values on cold start and after it warmed up. Hot and cold values did not differ by much at all. Here is what I got on idle 730rpm and at 2100ish rpm after engine warmned up: . Based on some further reading on australian 1KDs for 120 and 150 Prados, injector compensation values of...

    Last year I remember trying to set up Techstream software on a virtual Windows Machine but ran into all sorts of software problems and abbandoned the idea. Now a year and a half later, I tried again and managed to pull some partial information from the ECU. This time I did it thru my phone...

    The arm adapter was a hair too long and was hitting my windsheld. I had to file it a tad. Its made of cast alulinum so pretty easy file. As you see, I bought multiple of the same adapter. They were pretty cheap and i was expecting modifications. Used black marker to paint the filed section back...

    I also had this idea of installing a backup camera. So I bought this unit AUTO-VOX V5PRO OEM Pretty unique compared to the rest of the options available out there. It doesnt go on top of your rearview mirror - it replaces it. Also the front facing camera is on the right side and thus much more...

    Alright. About 25k kms later. -30C cold starts on occasion this winter without any problem or delay. 10w40. Winter was pretty mild and I never needed to switch to 0w40. Currently have 15w40 for the summer. Engine is running great. I've been doing some towing and the thing pulls hard no problem...

    Hey bud. Thanks. Havent's tried the 0w40 as my work contracts up north got cancelled. I've been rocking the 5w30 for 2 oil changes no problem even in hotter weather. I wouldnt put 0w40 unless you gonna be daily driving under -30C. If I had to pick one to rock all year in BC, it would be rotella...

    I'd sell it in a hartbeat if I could make back the money I spent on it. This guy Mark Roberts posted in the facebook group Mighty 90s a very good tutorial on how he mounted his. Here's his And here is mine lol. Nobody has time for rivnuts and drilling. I'll get to it someday

    Regarding hitch fitment. I got a 3rd gen 4runner hitch. NOT a straight bolt in as the hitch did not sit flush on the frame. A thin long metal piece neded to be fabricated so it sits flush. The top brackets for the hitch (they are small wth threaded holes to hold the bolts you see pointing up)...

    Also, everyone should do themselves a favor and never buy anything else than genuine parts. Both inner tie rods and LBJ from RockAuto are kaput after 10k kms. Doesnt matter which brand they were (Mevotech). I did everything right. Pre-greased them. Used proper torquing specs. No way its my...

    Here is what I did to check the center diff. AT in N. Transfer lever in 4H (default). Parking brake to lock both rear wheels. Jacked up one front tire. The tire rotates easilily in 4H. Switch transfer lever to 4H locked. Tire does not rotate in 4H locked. So my lever works and center diff locks...

    You are right, it shouldnt be a problem. That was last year. Granted, I had 15w40, one failing battery and old glow plugs when that happened. I haven't experienced those temps so far, but here is my prep : This year I have brand new glow plugs, 2 brand new oversized batteries from...

    Now its back to work and I've been ripping around snowed-in backroads long forgotten. Got stuck a couple of times and had to drop tire pressure down to 10psi to get out. For some reason I dont think my center diff locks. I need to figure out a way to check that. Also must get chains. Winter so...

    I ordered a bushing replacement kit from the JBA website as well the nuts for the North American equivalent tacoma from the local Toyota dealer. I made sure to use some threadlocker this time, as well as proper torquing specs (vehicle must be on he ground and have all its weight on its...

    Also at some point when I was back in the city, just by chance I noticed the nuts of the long UCA thrubolts (installed couple of weeks ago) were gone. Very scary experience.

    I went to ProSight Auto Glass 230 MacKay Rd, North Vancouver, BC They took some pictures, handled all the insurance paperwork and told me to wait a while as they figure out where to source the windshield. Their database was saying they had a windshield in stock, but it turned out to be for a...

    Then, as we were driving back leisurely, a goddam boulder came off a truck from the opposite lane. Almost shot my buddy in the face. Good thing he was wearing sunglasses as there was dust-size pieces of glass everywhere.
