    R2.8 Cummins perspective from Diesel Toys in San Antonio

    Sure did, plastic oil pan and all. Honestly all of my complaints stem from the harmonics of the engine. 4 cylinder diesels vibrate a lot. If I could figure out some better motor mounts to put in it to smooth it up I would stop complaining. The engine itself has given me no issues, runs fine...

    R2.8 Cummins perspective from Diesel Toys in San Antonio

    It's nice to get a new engine that has a direct parts line right here in the USA. However, it is a 4 cyl diesel w/o balance shafts so it has bad harmonics. Knowing what I know now I would have skipped this engine.

    Looks very good!! Being that you are in Indiana where did you ever find a 4Runner with a chassis that clean?

    Looking good. Those IFS diffs do make engine swaps hard don't they! I am almost done with my oil pan, its in the 80 series section. Keep up the good work!

    New Diesel for my 40.

    The toyota land cruiser has got to be one of the most dependable vehicles on the planet. Slow and steady and your sure to get to your destination. The 3B is a unique engine, from my research it actually has liners, something not uasually found in engines of this size. Try a very efficient...

    Bet these are all diesels

    very impressive, I sware the yellow one has the oil pressure gauge at zero, I think its in the units of bar. I would assume, since its metric, no psi there. simply kick ass cruisers!

    Builds Isuzu 4HE1TC into FJ62

    astr, would be great to stop by and check out this swap you got going. I'm currently in school at GMI in flint, but home on most weekends to get away from the partying and do H.W. I almost feel like a land cruiser poser on this board, my LC dosent even have insurance on it, I havent had the...

    Turbo exhaust theory?

    intresting discussion. I have only see one area of turbo exhaust systems that anyone put much thought into. At work (detroit diesel) we use a conical shaped turbine outlet. Its somewhere in the 12-15 degree range off the center axis of rotation. I could not tell you why this helps, but some PhD...

    VDJ79 on CANADIAN soil

    If this is the case, then these cruisers should be in the states??

    VDJ79 on CANADIAN soil

    have people found ways around this. Weather if be swapping VIN plates from a junker LC or falsifying that they own a mining company? But why dont the mines use ford F-150's???:confused: Is the LC that much better?:idea:

    Help with stuck bolt...

    when I saw the title I figured he was having a problem of swapping the pulley.

    Help with stuck bolt...

    I think I know what your talking about here. For example, take a rusty control arm bolt, you heat the nut and get it off, but you still cannot remove the bolt. In those stupid rubber busings there are metal sleves, those get rust welded to the bolt, makes for a real pain in the ass. Can the...

    Help with stuck bolt...

    I know how hard it is to work in the engine bay, with fuels and meltable things around. You can never get a good swing at things. Is it possible to remove the ALT bracket and get it on the work bench? I have to second mr. hanson, I havent encountered too many things that wont come apart when...
