This was really good, Tommy explains all of this info way better than anyone else I've ever heard anywhere. You can tell he really knows his stuff but also wants to explain what he's talking about so everyone and anyone can understand it. And Jock was really good about asking the right questions at the right time, there is so much solid info in here for all vehicles not just Hiluxes. This video was awesome, hope to see more like it in the future. 👍

You've given me great advice over the past 2 years I wanted to make sure I did the same for you! Spend your money on a Toyota diesel if you can at some point buy a 7.3 f250 f350 do it if it's a 99-03 convert the front to coils from leafs and you'll love it forever! Pull anything go anywhere!!! Very strong trucks! They are less problematic than the 04-2011s! Love the N70 she's going to be beautiful too!

Good job you guys done at explaining a very complicated topic, many none experienced/trained mechanics wouldn’t understand or realize how important are the very basics. Nowadays we face thousands of “fb experts” telling us what is right, what is not, and being a qualified automotive technician myself, it’s really hard to convince customers to listen to professionals rather than Fb stories. KD’s are great engines, please use high quality Denso injectors, simple as that. See ya

Yank tank set up for day trips and storage and a toy hauler with something like a single cab patrol set up for long range remote touring in mind on the back. Best of both worlds.

[@Vanisl4runner1]

Depends on the big American truck, the year it was made, engine and transmission. I drive an early 90’s dodge Cummins. I don’t ask much of it, with some minor modernization, a little extra power, and better suspension, but it’s a surprisingly comfortable tourer, with the right tire pressures of course. And the fuel mileage is out of this world, for the size of it! 9L/100km, doing 100kph with a light load. Get roughly 1000kms per tank!

[@ianweal3081]

Totally relate to a tune. I'm in a different league though, 2016 built Y61-ZD30 CRC Auto. Yes, a swear word here amongst Toyota die hards, "Nissan Patrol", there I said it. Took ours in for a tow tune at a low 88,600 kilometres on it. Basically, it was just run in. Work involved, New topmount intercooler, tillix boost control kit, ECU custom tune. Drove away with 96.9Kw & 779 Nm at rear wheels that just holds 4th gear locked up lugging on torque touring. Totally transformed our humble ZD30 into a delight to tour/cruise and tow our van with. A brilliant side benifit I was not expecting, better engine braking apparently created by the extra boost coming on lower in revs creating more compression, either way transformed off road descents awesomely. We now get 13.3 lts per 100 highway cruising, 15.7 lts per 100 on winding underlating terrain & 19 lts per 100 towing. Now, whilst I have all the torque at hand, I don't jepordise my reliability by using it to extreme, conservative use for mechanical sympathy is my logic, mind you, I can now use the fast lane on inclines and get past annoying slow motorists, something that was a struggle in std tune. It was costly, but fuel savings will eventually recover the financial outlay and its just so nice to drive, it's as it should have come from factory. Enjoy you ride Jocko as we do ours, so enjoyable now.

[@sdfsdf4fs]

I have a nissan navara d22 with a zd30, Have a hi-flow turbo, Boost controller set to 21 psi, 3" exhaust and tuned to 90kw, 490nm And it's unreal to drive compaired to the stock 75kw, 290nm or w/e it was Can beat stock patrols now :D So i understand your struggle I still have a vnt turbo so slow to come onto boost but when it does, It boogies A patrol seems to beat me off the line still, But once i hit 3rd and 4th they don't really stand a chance, It's actually a pretty hard vehicle to drive in the wet at traffic lights, It likes to spin up It don't have traction control or abs so it takes a little getting use to, Had a mate drive it towing a trailer, He's a very good driver 10+ years driving road-trains and he started spinning going around the roundabout in the wet, So i couldn't imagine the 779nm I've driven 400kw petrol cars, Torque is all you need and not a high power, Hence why i only own diesels now

[@paulw9293]

Good ep guys, all the performance upgrades you've detailed are super useful. Whether you've got an n70 or not it gives you the concepts you need to kick off. Best thing is that a lot of these are affordable to the normal mortal! ✌️

[@jeremiahgoodman3931]

Trust Mr Jock I live in the USA upstate ny albany I've driven and worked on many duramax Chevy 2500-3500's the engines are great Alison trans bullet proof but the trucks are cheap we had some breaking in half! Many wiring issues or dumb problems! I'm a Ford guy for a reason 7.3 Diesel and the 6.7's are awesome reliable engines! The trucks last forever I've never seen a superduty breaking in half or have any of the many problems the Chevys do! That's why I've owned 3 F250Superduty's! And a 95F450 7.3 the first with a turbo! 16 foot flatbed for hauling tires!!!! Best trucks honestly I prefer the 95-97's and the 99-03 f250 and f350s tho! I have a white 03F250 4 door I bought wrecked it took down a utility pole then the front corner burned for 10 mins! Took me 4 years but you can't tell any of it ever happened! She's beautiful again!!!! Wouldn't mind putting a 5.9 Cummins 6cyldr in it that's also an international motor they also make the 7.3s and 6.9s yes the Cummins cake in dodges but it's still international just easier to fix than a 7.3

[@jaydend9963]

would love to see a cost breakdown of this. For the turbo, injectors and auto transmission. I'm looking at buying a n70 myself for me and the family! i want to do it right the first time.

[@quackyduck1499]

I'm old and have built many machines. As with the motor you cant just do one bit. Open it up for more fuel and you'll need to open up the exhaust. get more power out of your motor. Keep three times that value for brakes, CV's, suspension, driveshaft and insurance.

[@maxxx229]

Good points mate

[@dejanveselinovic9562]

Could we have a figure on how much was the total upgrade, as a guide for anyone thinking to do the same. Keep up the good work!🍻

[@riashonkers1213]

If youre on KD - upgrade nozzles (Denso 051) - performance SCV - performance stroker pump shaft - external fuel pump (something like Bosch) - 1:1 oil pump - F55 turbo - exhaust cams - intercooler - 3in exhaust - ECU

[@elwoodroadsmusic9639]

I can vouch for getting a bigger trans cooler straight up. My tuned FJJ1 will bomb around in sand in high range no probs at all, but the trans gets hot real quick. I need to fix that!

[@allanmaccaul1465]

I think all the current Australian duel can utes are not suitable to be towing anything more than 1.8t safely, so I think the big American trucks have a place, they are exactly what people who are caravan touring should be buying..

[@performancetourers4x465]

I agree 100%

[@perpelle]

I would put the limit around 3000. Even a Ford transit custom tows 2200 relatively easy. Did that every now and then before switching vehicle.

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

I agree 100%, I would put it at around 2.2 - 2.5t max, the 3.5t current limits are too excessive for such small vehicles, where I live in Sydney there are heaps of new Ram's / Silverado's etc, that are used for heavy horse floats and large caravans, these vehicles are perfectly suited for these types of loads

[@anthonyramdin1037]

Agreed

[@cruza1289]

The American utes have been around just as long as any other. Infact my Ford F truck was assembled here in Australia back in 1977

[@joeeasterling5652]

In America now Ford, Chevy, and Ram 150s and 1500s come with 4 cylinder diesels. Along with the Rangers and Colorados. The 2500s and 250s come with the big 6.7L diesels. I have a relative that is getting 35mpg out of his 2023 Silverado 1500. Way better than the petrol engines.

[@riashonkers1213]

You can push upto 30psi on stock VNT then just upgrade the nozzles, full exhaust then a drop in filter

[@jameswebb3000]

I’ll stick with the Nt 50 awsome info

[@AdmissionGaming]

Careful with your diff jocko couldn't keep mine in one piece once tuned.

[@Tom-lf8hx]

[@fatplumber3887]

Good luck with that jocko. The 1kd-ftv (D4D) cracks pistons under heavy load with the standard tune. They are not designed to take that power. You're playing with fire boy it's going to end in tears I can almost guarantee it.

I live in the US and I have a 4Runner setup for overland travel. The big American made trucks are our only diesel option besides the fiat powered diesel jeep. I live on the eastern side of the country and big trucks just don’t do well because of how narrow the trails usually are. Besides being very large the price is insanely large with a decently equipped truck going for over 100k new! No thanks

"Really hard to explain simply" goes on to explain it simply, this is a bloke who knows his stuff huh. As a South African I can listen to AU fella's talk about motor parts all day. Can't wait to see Jocko's N70 once its been to the Mits Alloy shop.

[@craigquann]

The new chevy/gm diesels as well as Ford and RAM, all have about 450hp and nearly 1000 ft-lbs ( ~1350 nm) from factory now. At least here in North America. And they got a lot more in them if you want a few mods. However the one you showed was an older generation I think.

[@performancetourers4x465]

Let me know if we can help!

[@jferg92]

Isn't the trans cooler plumbed backwards? Why would the fluid flow from transmission to remote cooler to integrated radiator cooler? When running the hottest, wouldn't the driver want the isolated cooling step (the remote cooler) to be the last path before returning to the transmission? When operating normally, going back to radiator could reheat the trans fluid. I had a similar setup on my 4runner with the outlet of the transmission going to the integrated radiator cooler, then the remote cooler. Normal driving, i saw the transmission temps running 20-40 degrees cooler than the coolant temps. If i would have switched the flow (as it was done in the video), the integrated radiator cooler would have reheated the fluid.

This 3L turbo diesel seems to be under performing big time. My mid boosted FG XR6T is 4L and 1100nm / 800hp. The only real way to make this rig perform is to remove weight.

Try taking one of those big American "trucks" on the High Country tracks that are built and maintained with "Australian" vehicles in mind. I know a guy who got one of the big Fords pick-ups, but that was because he used it for his aircraft engine business and wanted to carry one radial engine in the back and another on a trailer behind it. He had a legitimate reason for it. My GQ Patrol Wagon LWB is about as big as I'd want to drive offroad in our conditions, outside of a specialist vehicle (like a fire truck).
