^^ the way this fella drives.... might be less than that...

[Jeremy Mohd]

Got the clutch, pressure plate, pilot and release for LN167 at Toyota. (Everything was around 4500).

Great .... u should be good to go for anothe 200 000km + after that.

Thats about 10 years with my avearge Kms! lol

I just want it to last the next few years, and withstand what I intend to throw at it

[Team Loco]

jeremy, seems like we in the same boat. my original clutch lasted me 150,000kms. this time around, i am close to 261,000kms and i picked up a slip last week. but since then i've done nearly 2000kms over the last two weeks and no slip. but she is still going downhill. list of items to fix/repair/ install:

new mounts throughout- not busted, but the original are still in
new steering shock
new shocks- i think
axle boot rubbers, one is totally missing, couldnt believe i missed that
possible shackle rubbers
turbo bypass box install
water to air system install- radiator presently being custom built for under engine shield
brakes, pads done.....always oem. they last over a yr with me
alignment

then she good to go again. also loosing support/comfort on the drivers seat. got my eyes on some legacy seat by Gobin. hopefully i go get a family price

[sweeks]

TL can source most of the oem parts ... Let me know. Thanks.

Hey guys I have an original clutch disc and pressure plate for the 5L. I bought a gearbox for my pickup some time ago and i thought that it could work but it`s a tad bit larger that the 2L clutch and pressure plate which my van has. It could work on a 3L, gearbox was like new and was bought from Monty in Charlieville, the van it was in was only doing abt 15000km. Anyone interested pm me.

[Jeremy Mohd]

G-DUB you're about a week too late!
Would have surely take it off your hands!

[Jeremy Mohd]

Loco,
As for my change out:

Changed the clutch, pressure, release and pilot.

The release bearing actually appeared ok, but the pilot was not. Not spinning freely and partly shredded.

Clutch is soft and feels brand new now...

I am getting a vibration at about 2500 RPM in any gear, that wasn't there before, so have to check back. We repulled all the bolts, and all is fine, so I sure its nothing thats slack.

It feels like the vibration from a bad cross, but it was fine the day before we dropped the gbox, so I doubt its that.

[Jeremy Mohd]

Shocks, steering damper, rear springs, torsions etc I am changing out soon as well..

The front shocks are definitely too soft.

Saw that my right boot rubber is also busted, would look a pair.
Looking for some original front disc pads as well. Might as well change both things in one day.

Did your mechanic mark the cross and drive shaft when they were taking down the gear box? If not that could be your problem right there. It's not balanced and wasn't put back properly.

i always thought so, when i changed out those shock, i realised the barrel was a bit smaller than the oem. on the highway it would bounce a bit, but on rough road it was ok

[Team Loco]

Jeremy, when you done, you will look like this:



ah champion!!!

[toyoman]

where is the best place to buy timing and fan belt for 2kd-ftv engine (2006 2.5l hilux) in South....??

[sweeks]

Buy it oem at Toyota...

No we didn't . After reading up on the issue yesterday I think that is it, or where the gbox is mounted to the cross member needs shifting a bit.

Going to change the position of the shaft, try and see, and keep doing that a few times.

I dont believe its anything wrong inside the gbox or with the clutch. The clutch is working great, and gears are going in smooth.

Will update on this.

On rough road it was ok.. Through Cuevas didnt feel much.
But then again, a b12 can pass through cuevas these days.

Re: Vibration After Changing Clutch..

After repulling the bolts, checking the mounts, greaing the cross and shaft, we were still getting the vibration... from about 40 km, 2000 rpm

We decided to drop the rear driveshaft completely, put on 4 wheel and make a block to see if the vibration is still there and to single out if the rear driveshaft was misaligned.

While dropping the shaft we noticed the problem.

There are 4 bolts, 3 washers were on correctly, 1 washer was inbetween the shaft and where it joins to the gbox.
So the shaft was misaligned by the size of a washer!

Fixed that - made a block, and van is running smmoooothhhh.

Chrome? It's difficult to repair.

[joel]

Chrome. Just wanted to know if to just throw it away and done as opposed to tryin to sell

[Team Loco]

Throw it myway! Depends on the dent, but it can never come back to new. You actually need a dull object and a press. Never try to use a hammer on it.

Pariaman, the brand is premium plus

[lighthammer]

Never try to use a hammer on it.

[cutthroatInt]

Tech supports,

I recently bought a LN145R 4x2 TBR series.

Any particular issues to be known bout this van, 2L engine etc?

Regards

[G-DUB]

No known issues on this model that I know of, really a workhorse. I have one of these myself, 14 years old only things i changed parts wise were belts and a radiator.

[lighthammer]

Enginewise, pretty durable workhorse. Just check for leaking seals, pribably have the injectors cleaned and fuel pump recalibrated.

Check the clutch for slippage,also check the rear leafsprings for any broken leafs.

[cutthroatInt]

yes i did notice some wet spots on the head and block. no oil dripping on ground but indicates some sealing up is needed. engine back seal for sure needs changing as im seeing there wet also.

van had a pair of new leaf springs as it was in a lil bouncident a few yrs ago where the banjo was broken.

but was repaired properly. FU banjo and Toyota spring bundles.

only issues rite now is the annoyin rattle from the tail gate.. need to put some rubber or the likes by the latch..

and the rims are bad ass offroadin rims.. 9 or 10" and tires 265/15/50.... the mud guards not stoppin dirt from flyin on the body due to offset of rim. so its hard to keep clean lol.

tires are brand new so wont consider selling off tires yet.

van will be 8 yrs old this yr...

still has factory disc pads. guy used to drive real proper. still has life and holds properly

was told he only changed lower ball joints and front shocks.. all OEM Toyota parts.
and these go bad cos of the broad rims and tire he chose to use.

engine doesnt smoke and is responsive.. so i dont tink fuel pump needs servicing..

wot fuel injector cleaner or fuel treatment u wud recommend me using? even tho its not smoking.

also what fluids and weights wud u recommend?:

Radiator coolant:
Engine oil:
Gearbox oil:
Diff oil:
