Re: Hilux 2.8 alternator issue

Is there any tests on the regulator I can do so I can confirm its stuffed? It'll be the reg. What part of the country are you in? I got a spare one you could try. I'm In Auckland so might be a mission to get it here. At the moment it's real intermittent and goes away as soon as I give it a rev and ...

Hilux 2.8 alternator issue

Hi I've got the t belt and battery lights coming on the dash and the voltmeter on the dash drops which i think is an alternator problem. It happens at idle randomly and when I give it a bit of a rev the lights disappear and all is well until it happens again. The brushes seem to look ok to me. Could ...

Re: Anyone know the difference between a SC12, SC14 supercha

I'd reccomend the sc14. My old ae101 Levin had an sc12 from factory and ran 8 psi with standard pullies on its 1600. They have a clutch like your a/c unit like mentioned before which operated when the vacuum pressure got to a certain point. Apparently you can manually over ride the switch and switch ...

This might sound like a bit of a dumb question but when you wind up torsion bars is it just increasing the spring tension to get the lift?
