The current owner isn't at their computer very much, or answering their phone which doesn't help very much :dance: We will definitely be giving it a big service and running it by our...

    80 series original wheels?

    Thanks yogi, it's a 1990 model, does that mean 16" won't fit properly? I have now found that there are indeed 15x7 wheels that came out on the Surfs, as per this auction link Confirming yogi's post, it looks like my truck did come with 15 inch wheels originally but I cannot figure out the...

    1HD-T overheat issues, water leaking straight out of engine

Mechanic said the head is still mighty strong, and the timing belt is in great condition. Will be keeping a close eye on all...

    1HD-T overheat issues, water leaking straight out of engine

    Hello! First of all I apologise for any incorrect or confusing terminology, I'm not very mechanically minded and just learning the ropes. I did search for similar problems but my lack of experience is showing by not knowing what I'm searching for :( Pre-face: When I bought the truck, my dad...
