Hey all, Im currently 6months into owning my LJ78 prado. It's a jap import and has been a 1owner vehicle since arriving into New Zealand in 1999, before I purchased it in 2024. It has 340,000kms and unfortunately the previous owner was no help as to what's been done to the truck as it was her...

Here’s my situation: I’ve got a 1990 LJ78, a trusty vehicle with under 180k miles that’s primarily driven by my wife. It’s well-maintained with regular fluid changes, so it threw me for a loop when she encountered an issue driving home. She described hearing a hissing sound as she exited the...

Aloha I’ve been having problems with my 91 Prado LJ78. A few weeks ago I was teaching my girlfriend how to drive standard, she kept stalling and then the truck just wouldn’t start. No cranking of the engine just one click after full turn of the key. I was still able to “pop the clutch” and it...

Having trouble getting my 2lte to run. Have taken the glow plugs out and no fuel is coming out when starting. Cracking injector lines has fuel squirting out. Both pump and injectors were reconditioned not long ago. People are quoting 500 bucks just to bench test the pump and record the pressure...

Hey all, I have been a reader of MUD for many year. The information on here helped immensely with my restoration of my 40. This is my first time posting…. Hope I’m posting in the right area. I have a new to me 1991 LJ78 with an electrical problem. I’m getting intermittent power to the dash...

Hey everyone! I have a 1996 Toyota Hilux LN112 with the 2LTE and A343F trans. About 220k km. I've owned this truck now for 10 months and it's been a journey. After reading on here I've implemented a lot of the reccommend upgrades/modifications. When I got the truck there was white smoke on cold...

Have a new to me 1997 Hilux with a 2LTE in it and I’m going through changing fluids, filters, batteries, etc. Anyways the point of my post is I’m getting a CEL at 80 KM/H. I was thinking it could have been the mass airflow sensor so I had another around and replaced it but still happening...

so I was doing some maintenance and noticed an oil leak behind the ac condenser. I was thinking maybe the oil cooler or the cam seal( noticed oil on the underside of where the front main seal would be) Anyone got an idea ? Thanks in advance (I had already cleaned most of it up before I took...

Hi all, first post but been lurking a while. Trying to deal with some overheating issues on my Prado and have identified that the fan clutch is slipping at high RPMs. It’s an Aisin blue hub. I replaced the silicone oil with 10,000cst fluid but made no mechanical modification to it. It helped...

I have a question with regards to replacing the engine mounts on my LJ78 | 2LTE. Do I need to remove the mounting bracket (4 bolts) indicated with the red arrow from the engine or is removing the 3 bolts enough to remove the mount? Are there any other considerations I need to consider before...

Just a bit of diesel trivia. I've noticed early Toyota diesel valves will say 'HZ', 'KZ' or 'L' on them which usually indicates engine family. But then I've seen pictures where they're mixed in a given engine. For heck of it, I looked up these part numbers. 2LTE exhaust valve 13715-54040...

A friend is rebuilding his 1HDT. I put a 2LTE piston rod beside his. Thought it was sort of neat. They both look super beefy. 1HDT left (dirty one), 2LTE right:

I have a 1991 prado that was a barn find, I git her in bits. 3 car wrecking trailers. I have her back on the road to a point. I have been battling a 2LTE issue, code 12.. What's been done. Fuel pump checked and then replaced, wiring fixed up by a auto sparky, replaced ECU. Now I think it's...

Hey All, I am well overdue for creating an account and getting more involved on the site! I have been reading and learning from the community for the last few years as I searched for and eventually found my ’91 LJ-78 Prado. I originally purchased the truck from @vintage_coc about two years...

Hi all, I bought a 1992 hilux surf with the 2lte last summer. Lately the engine has been a dog on any decent hill and misfires on start up with lots of smoke out the exhaust but runs ok once warmed up. Truck has decent acceleration on flat. Pedal to the medal the truck will only do 30/km/h up...

Hi Gang! Excited to be a part of the forum. I just impulse bought a Prado Turbo Diesel 2LTE 1990. I love it, but have already had a world of problems. Two oil leaks, a fuel leak, a dead solenoid and hub issues.... YAY! My new concern are both the glow plugs, or alternately the temperature...
