Anyone having alignment issues with their 3.0 Hilux/vigo? How often are you supposed to align with these trucks?

Leff side cuttin. again. Will take it to get aligned by shabby (sp) in couva tomorrow.

[lighthammer]

Go by Aranguez alignment center - first left off the new arangueze flyover when you on the northern side.

rotating tyres every 5k also help tyres even wear

guys, i noticed recently that whenever i am slowing down to a stop, sometimes i feel a " jerk or lil jolt " before i completely stop and then when i take my foot of the brakes and onto the X pedal, i feel the same " jerk or jolt " before pulling off again.

Any ideas / solutions ?

thanks

tht happens in my hilux also, i carried my hilux TTTL for a road test but the service mechanic told me its normal, nothin to worry about and he also mentioned the drive shaft need greasing. when i carry it to service i would let them knw

[droppa]

it happens when the tranny stops suddenly and does not get to completely gear down as the pressure decreases, so the vehicle stops in second gear, and when u release the brake it goes into first IMHO

try slowing down slower or neutralizing when u slow down suddenly, i neutralize by the lights all the time (rest the foot and clutches a bit)

happen on my 1KZ turbo also, normal i was told......

[badart]

^ yea noticed when i drive slower it doesnt happen

Ques: What is the model # for the following:

05-10 Hilux 2.5 D4D Local 4x2
05-10 Hilux 3.0 D4D Local 4x4
05-10 Hilux 3.0 D4D Vigo 4x4
10 - Hilux 3.0 D4D Local 4x4

The 3.0 should be KUN26 or something like that.
The 2.5 should be KUN15 or something like that.

[sweeks]

Where the D4D men?

[*Phoenix*]

that jolt thing is due to the torque converter.... its normal... but quite irritating in my opinion.

[badart]

yea real annoying esp in traffic

[Premera]

guys just to spread the word around. Yesterday i used the Liqui Moly fuel additive and the oil additive. Hearing the engine a bit quieter and the performance ALOT better.

My van used to pull off lazy lazy and you had to really press on the pedal to accelerate, since i put the furl treatment, the van actually feels lighter, moves easier and i dont have to press hard on the pedal anymore to accelerate. You can actually feel the difference. Im my opinion the product has worked on my VIGO and i recommend it.......

[droppa]

the liqi moly has worked well on my engine, on my last oil change i used 1 can, as a try out on the KZ, and since then she has gotten significantly quieter, from just outside the van u hear a difference


oil change coming again soon, and u kno ill be using the liqi moly again......

[Team Loco]

well, the new lux finally starting to play the fool. at 350,000kms, the a/c blower went bad, steering wheel worn down, squeky brakes, turbo leaking a bit, front left wheel bearing noisy, tail lights keep blowing.

at TTTL now. they amazed by the mileage lol

[lighthammer]

Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

[Team Loco]

imagine TTTL srap a/c system, tightened a few ground wires and send back the van. no charge! i was like, nah!!! that cant be!

[droppa]

they know u is a faithful customer........

btw the new lux is @ 350K, wat the old one at?

[Team Loco]

2010 3.0 Manual Local - KUN26R (Model Code)

[sweeks]

Thanks Phoenix...

Do you remember the model code for your previous 2.5D4D?

[*Phoenix*]

Sorry sweeky.. I cant remember... and i dont have the documents anymore..

I believe it should be KUN25R for the 2.5 4x4 manual... in that year..

[sweeks]

Thanks man.

Where the Vigo men?

[Premera]

okay fellas, i noticed 2 days ago i was literally unable to get past 140km/h on the highway. Remember i changed the injectors recently. Could it be that i got the 2.5 turbo injectors and it needs to be re-calibrated ( i was told of this by someone at Toyota )

I used the Liqui Moly fuel and injector treatment and noticed an increase in performance but yet, i am unable to get past 140km/h

Oh, i don't usually drive fast but the highway was clear on Sunday so i decided to open it up a bit from Chaguanas to Munroe Road........

Thanks again.......

oh sweeks, where do i find the information u asking for above ?
