    1HDT Heat issue?

    Interesting problem. The only time I had temperature problems was when my thermostat rusted out. Whereas I live in a tropical place, I solved the problem by removing it. However this is such a simple solution I would expect you to have already looked into that. Kalawang

    HDJ81 Starter Run-On, Won't Stop Cranking!

    On a side note, I once did a direct feed to my starter of 12 volts and it craked but did not start the engine. It needs 24 volts to crank fast enough to get that one click start. Kalawang

    Hdj 81 suspension lift

    It would be wiser to buy front springs that are an inch taller than the rear springs. It does not eliminate the stinkbug but it reduces the visibility of the stinkbug effect. Kalawang

    1HD-T Glow Plug Light

    I've never seen that light. I was even silly enough to think glow plugs were not needed in the 1HD-T as my engine has always started on the click and the trick was to let go of the key to avoid over cranking. Silly me. I'll try to get a really good look at that part of the dash and see it glow...

    '92 LC (1HD-T) English user's manual??

    Ellery was also all I could find. However, it's the same engine anyway so what's the problem ? Kalawang

    1HD-T FSM Oil Press Range

    I hardly ever drive with that high an rpm. You must have some very empty highways there. :grinpimp: Kalawang

    Engine Oil Question

    Good question. I'm also using 20w50 and pretty much for the same reason. So far so good.:D To my way of thinking, as I don't stress my engine except those very very rare occassions, and I do change the oil more often than I'm financially comfortable with, even if I'm wrong about the oil there...

    Importing whole truck for parts

    I assume you've looked at the shipping cost of importing the parts car from wherever you plan to import it ? And also looked at the cost of rendering that parts car into a condition that makes it defineable as a parts car and getting it out of customs to your home as well as the labor cost of...

    JDM HDJ81 lemons... anyone have one?

    It wouldn't be cheap in your part of the world. The conversion is labor intensive done our way and parts expensive done your way. The contractors for the conversions were paid about U.S. $ 500/unit, but that was about six years ago. The job can be done well but needs attention to detail. Not...

    JDM HDJ81 lemons... anyone have one?

    The only problems I've found with the JDM cruisers were caused by bad conversions and bad mechanics. Since all JDM's here are required by law to be converted that's the scary part in buying one. I chose a seller with a very good reputation and even got to watch his people doing some conversions...

    1HD-T AT Gear Ratio Question

    I don't know how you get 3500rpm on your 1HD-T. I have never personally exceeded 2500rpm and am running in the area of 140-160kph when my revs get that high. My first shift happens around 1600-1800rpm. By the time I reach 100kph, I'm running about 2200rpm. Never noticed the others. Like Tapage...

    1hdt

    My engine is still pretty much the way it was when I bought it. When my thermostat developed a leak I bypassed it and connected direct to the engine. I wasn't able to find the parts needed for a proper repair and nobody I talked to at the time, a few years ago, seemed to understand it, though...

    Fuel Leak, 1991 HDJ81

    Thanks Canuck. The link on the forum page no longer seems to be there for me so I thought the forum had been removed. Glad to see it's still there, and I've added it to my favorites. Kalawang

    1 HD diesel 80 series swap

    You have to think of more costs than the directly measurable costs. Your time for example. How much are your man hours worth ? I assume parts are easily available there but if they aren't, that's going to cost more direct cost plus man hours. You also have to assess the completeness of your...

    alternator for HDJ81

    The 1HD-T also comes with a 12 volt starter that looks like and bolts up the same way as my 24 volt starter. The difference is in the wires inside. I like the idea of a 12 volt and plan to have my starter re-wound to 12 volts if ever my solenoid/relay ever gives up the ghost again. Drexx has a...

    CHBC report - Driving a right hand drive vehicles.

    I don't understand why you don't do the conversions that are being done to our JDM's here. It is very well within the technical capabilities of many on this board and the wealth of parts and accessories available there is to be envied deeply. Granted that a wrong side vehicle can be driven...
