Tech Thread - Toyota Hilux...D4D and all older models.

[bleedingfreak]

Thanks fellas...apparently the engine was governed down.....and they had to re adjust it....I never carried the van into redline, when I saw it was going, I shifted.....I have driven cars that shifted into fith at speeds in excess of 125km so.....Just wanted to know if my first diesel vehicle was doing what it was supposed to be doing....

Pardna me aint mean to rock yuh boat

But sometimes when you talk to ppl easy they dont listen..

At least now I know you will remember this bleedingfreak fella (who BTW, is ah real arse) and even if you still vex with him for calling you out, at least you will remember to treat the diesel engine nice...

Which is the important part...

You pickup cost you good money... If yours was hard earned like mine you will treat her well. In exchange she will give you 10-15yrs of service!

And remember, keep the engine in boost, not the emo

[lighthammer]

Despite BF's curmudgeonly ways, he's right. The truck prob cost you some serious coin and better care should be taken.

Just know from now on that diesel engines aren't as high-revving as gasoline engines and revving up to redline is NOT a good thing to do with ur 2KD-FTV engine.

Take care of ur truck dude, and it'll take care of you. BF is correct - your diesel engine, once well cared for (i.e sensible driving, regular oil and filter changes) will last you many years and much more miles than a gasoline engine.

I try not to shift higher than 3500rpm.....Thats ok for a diesel engine right....? The rep told me that there was no breaking in period and thatit came factory broken in and that I should drive the van as the owners manual had it....Thats where I got the info from.....

Dem reps does lie too fuggin much just to get a sale bro... Kick him up next time u see him

[lighthammer]

To be honest man, the sales reps are prob not the best people to talk to with regards to how to drive and maintain ur car - perhaps your mechanic or at least the techs at the stealership are better at advising you.

Often times a sales rep won't have much time to sit and explain mundane specifics to you, eg. how to drive the car, etc. So they'll just pass the onus onto you and tell you to just read the manual. That way if something goes wrong, they covered themselves and can just say "it was in the manual, didn't u read?" if something goes wrong.

My advice to you - drive the truck easy for the first 1500KM, so that it gets a break-in period (even if the sales rep says there's no need - better to err on the side of caution). After ur first 1000km service, drive easy again for another 500km and then you can drive normally.That should give you enough time to get well acquainted with your truck and learn to listen to the engine revs and figure out when to shift gears.

If you're like most of us diesel-heads here, you'll learn to appreciate and start taking good care of ur workhorse (look at how much fuss we make on what kind of oil we use, as well as what particular brands of tyres!).

Go strong bro and congrats on ur purchase of a great truck

[badart]

the sales ppl in these dealerships is the worst ppl to find out information from they only knw marketing strategies n the basic features of the vehicle..the owners manual have all the information you would need in detail..

i think TTTL sales ppl knw the least compared to the rest of dealerships prob becuz toyota cars sell themselves, the sales ppl there are jus for the paper work lol..i remember also goin in to McEnearney Motors to price the Everest and the sales person there told me it was 325,000 this week but from next it would be 365,000 so i asked why this drastic increase in price and she was like cuz toyota raised their prices lol i was like ok atleast u following the leaders

hello fellow hilux rollers
just reciently bought a immaculate black hilux Mk3 in its original equip. just wanted to know if anyone could direct me to a store or bamboo location (other than boddy's since they out ah stock) that have bull bars and accessories for this indestructable model (leaf spring front an back)

[toyofirstprime]

hey guys, would like to know if u all can help me out here

I recently bought an old model hilux, the TAY model and I am looking for a set of 15" rims (possibly original) that will work on the van without having spacers on it. The current set it have on is Ziglas pretty sure u all know about that and well each side on the front taking about 3 spacers and the back have bout 2 I think but I hate dat set up and would like something fitting correctly. I checked most rim places but they don't seem to have the correct set, so I'm asking u all if u can direct me to someone if they have a set or if u all have the correct wheel dimensions for the rim like the width so that I can search around for it...thanks

had that same problem with my TAX MK3......you need to get 16'' that have the inner rim sink smaller......dont run older model hilux with too may spacers you can find the correct size in south or tunapuna. I have some standard 16'' original rim an tire to sell cheap an also five spoke 15'' chromes rim an medium size road tires goin cheap too 798-2604. is you hilux front an back leaf springed?

[Sabot]

What diesel treatment for the 3.0D4D hilux would you guys recommend?

Was at the dealership today and some guy, upon learning that an injector was bad on his hilux, indicated that he was using the Prestone treatment for some time and this should not be the case.

I know a treatment will not cause your fuel system to last forever but a good one should be better than none at all. I used to use the Redline 85 on the ranger but that was not a common rail engine. Will this be good on the hilux?

BTW: I asked the service guy behind the desk and he could not recommend me any particular treatment and I did not get to speak to any of the tech guys as they were all busy at the time.

[sweeks]

Redline and Amsoil (cetane boost + concentrate) in minute amounts .... 2-3 ounces per tank full of diesel. Nothing more than that.

[kriticalkase]

Guys, have any one evr changed the OEM front brake pads on the 3.0 D4D hilux & at what mileage?

[sweeks]

Guys, have any one evr changed the OEM front brake pads on the 3.0 D4D hilux & at what mileage?

Approx ~ 60 000km, bigger rims would equate to less mileage than that..... I have them in stock ... He's also running 20s.

Kritical my neighbour has a Sportero with just over 60 000km and he's getting ready to buy new disc pads.

[Team Loco]

^^yeah, Sweeks has good stuff

[PariaMan]

Well my battery gave out after 2.5 years TTTL changed the battery at half price! They gave me a BOSCH one

[sweeks]

How much and what were the specs?

[PariaMan]

BOSCH S3 1508 cranking Amps at Just under 700 TT

[sweeks]

Marcus what model Hilux do you own. I carry some OEM parts.

[lighthammer]

Guys,

Found this little information packet on the 1KD-FTV and 2kD-FTV engines, fuel systems and injectors.
Nice read to learn some more about your D4-D engines.

Hey Guys, Just thought I'd share this link for the 1kdftv vigo owners.

Actually, on this site, you could get damn near any toyota.

Just click on the diagram categories for some better than decent diagrams.

EDIT: I don't frequent this forum enough, so if this is a repost, Im sorry.

[323_wagon_dude]

This is a pretty damn good site. Too bad they had to remove the actual diagrams of the vehicles.

Diesel Fuel Filter 2.5D hilux
is it safe to change the filter as required by toyota service interval at 20 000km
or is it wise to change it sooner because of the diesel we get

[Premera]

guys i recently ( last week ) bought a TCA ( 2006 Thailand model ) VIGO 3.0D-4D. The previous owner changed the timing belt last September ( 100,000k ) and the van is now doing like 108k. What service would you recommend i do as the new owner. I live in San Juan and prefer someone close to home, if you know anyone.

I was a previous Nissan " gasoline " owner and became familiar with products for my vehicle ( Sr20)

I am starting afresh as the diesel thing is new to me and would appreciate any information / advice on products to use to service and maintain the van to ensure A+ performance. Also, i have 20's on them with 274 x 45 x 20's

Thanks in advance and YES it is true...once you go diesel...gasoline is history.....

20 000km should be fine esp. if you full up at reputable stations and don't rundown your fuel tank. Have you had any problems?
