    Post up your diesel fuel mileage/NO CHAT PLEASE!!

    83BJ60 is correct about economy in the winter vs. the summer. My HDJ81 gets maybe 20-21 mpg on the hiway at 100-110 kph....I find that when I go faster, the economy goes down quite dramatically. It's interesting though, I'm interested in buying a new (or new to me) car and Suburu came to mind...

    Another Perspective on the 'best 'diesel

    I gotta say, I don't drive either truck with "extreme prejudice" and I realize that it is difficult to compare the engines with such different drive trains . I haven't actually weighed the trucks but all the extra "stuff" on the 81 (power this and that, plush interior, extra power train...

    Another Perspective on the 'best 'diesel

    I've had a BJ60 with a 3B IDI engine for about 12 years now and a HDJ81 with a HD-t for about five years. For me, the BJ has typically returned between 22-30 MP imperial Gallon depending on the season and the type of driving. The HDJ (with DI) returns between 17- 25 MPG. The HDJ is heavier, AWD...

    Is there a BJ60 to steer clear of?

    Had my BJ60 for many years now and have driven many.... power steering and five speed is definitely the way to go. The manual steering unit (especially with oversized tires) is truly a beast and if you are going to be doing any highway travel, a 5 speed is quieter,faster, and gets better fuel...

    3 " Exhaust HDJ 81

    Thanks Sailor, do you know if there is something up with ATEB? I looked for their site on the web and I can't find them. They've done a little work for me before and I'm familiar with their site. I also left a voice mail on Wed., but nobody has returned the message. Sooo...any difficulties that...

    3 " Exhaust HDJ 81

    Sorry to hear about Martin, he seemed like a good, straight up guy. Since I am in need of a new exhaust, how much does a 3 inch system cost? Thanks.

    HDJ81 1HD-T Issues, help

    In an 80 series there is a body panel under the rear seats that unbolts to gain access to the top of the tank where the pick-up tube enters the tank. To access the innards of the tank you simply remove the panel on the top of the tank through which the pick up tube goes through. You can easily...

    HDJ81 1HD-T Issues, help

    I had a stubborn problem on mine about a year ago, same symptoms but worse. Ended up changing the filter body (the place the fuel filter spins on/ and the hand primer is located) , filter, and the lines to and from the IP. I first changed the filter and found in the process, that the primer...

    Its 95 degrees outside.. should my 3B start without heating the glowplugs?

    I've owned my BJ 60 Cruiser for a great many years and I have to say, regardless of what temperature it is outside, if it's been more than a few hours after having last ran, you will have to glow.

    What do you do with the RHD beams when importing from Japan?

    BJ60, maybe not all Euro lamps are the same but the ones I put on my truck angle up to the right, just like the round Hellas I have on my 60. DOT headlights do not seem to have a particularly focused beam pattern and consequently (maybe?) could be used for both RHD and LHD applications. Even...

    Buying a HDJ81 (JDM)

    I agree with the "hours"on the rig vs odometer reading.... and the common problem of getting a vehicle with the odometer set back. As a result, turbos seems to frequently need attention right off the boat. The question of the mileage..... four years ago I bought my truck with 105k on it but I...

    Buying a HDJ81 (JDM)

    I think many of these machines were used only to go to the golf course on Sundays. My winch, for instance had never been spooled out, the first three metres were slightly dirty and the rest was factory fresh. If you pay the equivalent of 70 or 80 k for a vehicle, normally, the first owner at...

    What do you do with the RHD beams when importing from Japan?

    To be even close to tolerable for oncoming traffic, you have to adjust the RHD lights so low and away the low beams are practically useless. Unless you don't mind running blind or blinding all on-coming traffic you have to change out the whole headlight. Canonero, if you're constantly traveling...

    Help with surge in 1hd-ft 80 series Landcruiser motor

    There is a screen on your pick up tube within your fuel tank.... a pain to get to because the rear seats have to come out to have access. There is a panel in the floor you must remove to get to the lines. My screen eventually caused more restricted power flow than you currently seem to have. I...

    Won't go into 5th!!

    Cruiser guy is right, my BJ60 did that on a trip to Jasper a number of years ago, it was the nylon component at the base of the shift arm. It's a simple and quick fix, all from inside the cab. Good luck, Tony

    Prepping a 1HDT for winter

    Sorry, getting back to the oil question, I'm just wondering what is the current opinion on the bearing issue in the 1HD-T? Synthetic, at one point, seemed to be the option most people believed would help with this issue. Most of these engines have had the big ends changed out for ones of...

    looking for HDJ80

    I assume that the difference (that Cyrus would like) is LHD, so that precludes Britain as a source. The reason that 81's from Japan are a "dime a dozen" and Hdj 80's are rare, is that after 15 years of normal use in Europe, there is substantially higher mileage on the vehicle. A 15 year old 81...

    1hdt no start

    Had a look at my FS manual and in the exploded view it shows a non-reusable gasket... 70s, did you have on hand a gasket before taking it apart, or did you "goop" it up? Not having taken it apart as yet, and living on an island without a Napa or the equivalent, I must disassemble with a certain...
