Re: D4D blowing smoke when parked nose down?

Replacing the copper washers and O-rings on the injectors solved the problem. However, problem occurred again recently (15 months later). The reason for smoking when parked nose down is because there are weep holes in the head behind the valve lifters, that allow oil to run off the head into the inj...

Re: Hilux 3.0 D4D D/C 4x2 to 4x4 conversion.

Hi Bennie. I do have a picture, send me your fax or email. Harness was done by local electrician. Don't proceed unless you know someone who can do this. I think there is a difference between the 2.5 and 3L diesel clutches, but the spikets are the same. Not sure about petrol models. Fuel consumption ...

Re: Hilux 3.0 D4D D/C 4x2 to 4x4 conversion.

Hi Guys.
I used an auto-electrician who was familiar with Hiluxes. He cut out the plugs from the donor vehicle and used them to make up a separate harness. He also lengthened the speedo cable.

Re: Hilux 3.0 D4D D/C 4x2 to 4x4 conversion.

For the record, the conversion is possible. The biggest challenge was finding someone to build the harness linking the front diff and transfer box to the computer and instrument cluster. Minor challenges included lengthening the speedo wires, building a new prop-shaft carrier mounting bracket, accom...

Re: D4D blowing smoke when parked nose down?

My Hilux D4d is doing the same thing. I first noticed engine oil leaking out of the intake manifold down the bell housing via the EGR valve shaft. The intercooler had oil in it too. Replacing the air filter and reconditioning the turbo had no effect. Checking the intake tube where the engine breathe...
