What did you do on your 70 series today?

[Gun Runner 5]

Are you guys getting full custom exhausts done? Mine is making a constant ticking sound.

Yes sir ….

 

[FJBen]

What’s everyone ball park price on 3” exhaust? I’m Probabaly just doing 2.5 as it’s easier to route.

28100-17020 Refreshtoration. 24V 4.5kW starter assembly.

New parts:

The guts….

Bits and pieces…

The worst snap ring Toyota (actually, Denso—on license from Robert Bosch—) has ever designed.

Looking better….

I lucked into about 30' of 2.25" flex pipe a few years back. Made an exhaust. Made a snorkel intake. It last about 3-5 years in a exhaust system. Closest to the engine rust out first.

Factory non-turbo exhaust was 1 5/8" so I figure 2.25" is good after turbo. EGT's did drop a bit. 2.5" is a more common size for the $30-50 genaric turbo muffler at the parts store. I really don't think any diesel engine you'll put in a LC nees more than 2.5" Do what's necessary and then go larger for what is cheapest and most convenient. That's my thoughts anyway.

Bought a generic 3” kit off eBay and cut to fit and welded it myself

Noticed my 65A alternator was starting to struggle… especially at night with my regular lights, LED lights , AC , and powering my Holley Sniper. A buddy of mine got one of these for his LC and has been very happy with it so I figured what the hell…..

 

[ASO544]

This is with everything ( all lights, AC, arb compressor ) on

Direct bolt on like they claim? Any issues so far?

 

[ASO544]

Bolt right on …. Plugs all matched. So far so good

We drove through New Mexico a few weeks ago and on the way back got stopped at road construction at highway 180 and 78 waiting for a pilot car. The coolant temp started to climb while we sat with no air flow. Then I have noticed the same thing while while waiting at school to pick up the kids. So today I am servicing the fan clutch. Going let the oil drain out for a couple of days and replace with 10k CST oil.

Some 70 Series action …..

 

[jayp2]

Santa Clause in brown just delivered some brandy new injectors for my 1HZ.....off to the injector shop to test/tune as needed

 

[Guyute]

Spent a couple hours organizing and laying out parts for the 1HZ rebuild. Unboxed the s3xy rebuilt IP. Placed an order for bits and pieces we still need. Eliminated this odd heater hose T with the proper single hose. Then did a metric sh1t ton of yard work.

Cold weather set-up?

The first 70 Series I ever owned.
It didn‘t look this good when I owned it. (It’s now back on the market)

Did DFIS rebuild the pump, Brian? Looking good.

 

[jayp2]

Got oil sample results back from Blackstone who gave the 1HZ a thumbs up.....no issues.

Major relief on my part

 

[Guyute]

Indeed. They are like 15 miles from my garage.

 

[OGBeno]

DFIS for the win.
