Lightforce HID's ....... Painfully bright.

Even though the HID's are brighter, the fact that the they require a 15-30 second warm up period, makes the Halogens better suited to compliment the trucks bright lights.

After nearly 100 miles, no leaks and no oil added.
I've either lost more of my hearing or the 2H is a lot quieter after the rebuild.

One of the downsides to having never driven a low mileage 2H is not knowing how bad your high mileage engine really is. If it had not been for the excessive oil consumption I would have not known how tired my engine was and probably wouldn't have done the rebuild.
Hello,
Diesel engines, Toyota amongst them, live hard lives.
Back from my days at the tropics, I remember a Dyna with a 14B or 15B (I am not sure) that was badly abused. We were returning to base from a job in that very truck. The engine was already noisy, and around a third of the trip, it lost power. So we had to drive around 100 km flooring the gas pedal and shifting between 1st and 2nd gear; the truck would not hold in 3rd. To add complications, I had a plane to catch.
It was sad to see the Dyna limping its way through the road. Back at the base, Maintenance said the engine was "tired." But the operational tempo prevented the truck from going to the shop for a couple more months.
In the end, the truck had its engine rebuilt after that trip. It was two years old at that time, and around 100k miles on the clock. It drove much better after that, more power and less noise. I drove it a few times after that. Then I was transferred and never saw it again.
Your 2H fared much better than you think.

Although I don't have any paperwork that documents the engines history, I do know that the difference after the rebuild is very noticeable and that's all that really matters at this point. I am very pleased with the end result and look forward to reliable service for years.

Is this part still available from Toyota?
It's the doo-hickey that uses vacuum to regulate engine RPM while the A/C compressor is engaged.
Thanks.....

The number I come up with is 88691-90K02. It is invalid or discontinued. Is that a 12 volt truck? If so it would be fairly simple to come up with a 12v VSV that would function in the same manner. I presume it would need to port vacuum to the diaphragm when the compressor engages.

12V
If I was able to understand your last sentence, I wouldn't have called the switch a doo-hickey. You fail to understand that I am a product of a rural education in the backwoods of Southern Georgia.

I you had said that in the first place a lot a band width could have been saved.
How does that aid my post count?
The FJ60 ones are disco city too so that mini-truck one might be the ticket at $17 or so.

Onur you obviously don't realize that the majority of those switches in the cockpit are fake. They are simply there to impress the passengers and make them think pilots are smart. The illusion has worked for years.

We even have cool lights to help create the illusion......
