Hi guys.
The swap is now ready. And could not be any later as it started snowing last week.
I am very satisfied with the resault. The motor is very sharp and has good powerband. And in this light truck , and with such a low drive ratio (5:71) but at 2350rpm at 60mph.
The power is considerably greater than the v6.
The diesel engine holds speed upphill in 5th gear and dooing 50mph where the v6 had to be tortured in 4th eaven 3rd gear.
The best thing is the 22mpg fuel consumption in mixed driving which is three times the reduction From the 3.0 v6

i am impressed. i dig the swap, wish toyota made an inline 6 diesel that was available in the states.
i only dont dig a few things about this truck but i also understand that its not mine and everyone else has their own likes haha. the tires, a lil over kill for me, but im not in iceland either so i could see applications for them. the only other thing im not huge on (which is ok cuz i love nissans too) is a nissan motor in a yota lol.
like i said tho, thats small beans, cuz its a bad ass motor looks like.
good job man!
