R50 TD27 Front Pulley
Anyone had issues with front crank harmonic balancer pulleys on a TD27 EDi? My truck decided it didn't like the drive belts while the Mrs was using it the other day. She told me that the lights came on the dash the previous day but forgot to tell me. But that's another issue GRRRRRR I put some more ...

Re: 1KZ-TE PRADO vs 1KD-FTV PRADO
Peter- we bypass the factory coolers because when people tow stuff here, the AT fluid increases the coolant temp to a point where the motor cooks. The eternal cooler helps reduce the risk of the head cracking. We put the coolers in front of the AC condensors where there's plenty of room and they can...

Re: 1KZ-TE PRADO vs 1KD-FTV PRADO
From memory only the RV doesn't have the flash bits. The VX and VX LTD has the down hill decent assistance and all the other bells and whistles. Might be some slight differences from the Aussie specs but will be pretty similar.

Re: 1KZ-TE PRADO vs 1KD-FTV PRADO
An aftermarket trans cooler would be a good advantage. Get the factory cooler in the radiator removed/disconnected if you do. Do a search on here for 1KZ mods and improvements. There's lots of things to give you ideas. If you're only using it as a family wagon there's probably no point going to extr...

Re: 1KZ-TE PRADO vs 1KD-FTV PRADO
All the CR (common rail) diesels have a fuel cooler from factory. Haven't seen a 1KZ-TE with DPF yet in my time with Toyota. Seats and seals is an ongoing issue with early KD's. The combustion gases can get past injector seats and the crud blocks the oil pickups. Pays to check the pickup through the...

Re: 1KZ-TE PRADO vs 1KD-FTV PRADO
NO! and no. The DPF are only on import KD's, no KZ's had them.
Those Rav's have oil burning issues (we have replaced a heap of blocks and re-ringed so many more), plus they block their EGR systems very badly.

Re: 1KZ-TE PRADO vs 1KD-FTV PRADO
Heads cracking can attributed to quite a number of things. But mainly its a maintenance issue in my experience. IMHO leather is a waste of time.

Re: 1KZ-TE PRADO vs 1KD-FTV PRADO
I work for a Toyota dealership so I will tell you 1 simple thing - DON'T GET THE KD!! Upgrade to the 120 series Prado with the KZ engine. Or better still, get the V6 Prado. Cheaper to run, maintain, register and no RUC's to worry about. Nicer engine and tons of grunt. Cheaper to buy than the diesel ...

Re: R50 Fuel Lift Pump
Cheers crash
I have got a low pressure pump that flows 80L/hr that I was thinking of using. Reckon that'll be OK? Have been thinking it may be too restrictive.
But I might just fit the aux filter anyway without the pump for now because I can. Piece of mind more than anything else.

Re: opinion on tyre choices
I have a set of the SL366's on my R50 Terrano. Very happy so far. Wearing well. Good for the 4wd trips I do in the truck. I'd recommend them to someone on a budget.

Re: Prado radiator into surf, but quality sus?
There are 3 different sized radiators for the KZN185 Surf (so I found out).
I just had to get 1 for my Brothers truck right before Christmas. Sourced it from A1 Radiators here in CHCH.
