Ranger EGR Cooler Failure VS Toyota 1KD Cracked Piston Facts!

Fourby4Diesel - • FULL DETAIL EGR CLEAN ...
Engine Care - • Toyota Prado Hilux 1KD...

[@nathanmanning7332]

You raise a really great point! Negativity around EGR failures in Ford Rangers and Everest's is correct and deserved. But the inability for some people to look past the Toyota badge and see that they have significant and in this case more substantial design liability is pathetic.

[@holden3083]

Well said. It’s pretty pathetic that any manufacturer have these types of problems! Especially because they charge a premium price for their products, but deliver a below sub par product! It doesn’t stop at these brands. It just comes back to manufactures using cheap parts or poor engineering! But yet they charge a premium price.. then turn around and oh not our problem. It’s yours. So u just spent a premium $ 60k + on a new vehicle + u have to pay for our poor engineering or selection of cheap parts that break…. Unfortunately this is a normal situation now. Consumer’s should not be made to pay an above premium price for a below sub par product & then be made to pay for companies engineering / manufacturing cheap skate products…. Now days the words durable or reliable aren’t used anymore when speaking about vehicles. well anything really….

[@yakman292]

Said same thing for years, there penny pinchers , need to do more updates on engine efficiency , instead of do nothing until new model comes out .

[@stephenoneill7855]

Thank you for your information. Much appreciated

[@pjetenere1]

Well said 👍👍

[@bryantyango]

did you turn off the EGR through the ECU? or that step is not necessary when blanking an EGR? I have concerns about the check engine light turning on if I ever do the blanking myself

[@hoodyr6799]

It's a no brainer, really....... Ranger ANY/EVERY day of the week!

[@yakman292]

Like the easy way you do things,and exsplain. the Toyota thing is obviously a design problem to keep re occuring in same place . and the Ford EGR cooler problem , easily fixed for peanuts.

[@paulthompson1654]

1kd has an issue with piston strength. I would not leave the fix to Toyota. Aftermarket custom pistons . Overloading engine either by powerchip or loaded weight will cause this as well . Best thing u can do is to block egr so clean combustion occurs .

[@clevelandho]

Own both either 2.8 chain rattle change out or 2.2 3.2 quick oil change or egr blank easy fix, not the toyota chain rattle

[@AndyL940]

Anything will be reliable if it’s serviced well . There is plenty of Ranger’s running around with 350 + kilometres on them . Personally I think the variable vane oil pump is a time bomb. Whichever genius engineer though that was a good idea should have his nuts cut off . Oil pumps have been basically the same design for a hundred years and ultra reliable. Then they go and use a power steering pump for the engine oil that have always had issues. My brother has a Ranger and it’s been a fantastic vehicle. I have a 2001 hilux 5L engine and it’s done 470 k still doesn’t use a drop of oil or blow a whisp of smoke. All the plastics and interior are still perfect on my old Hilux there is no doubt about the build quality of Toyota especially the Japanese ones .

[@rossawood5075]

Absolutely agree re variable vane type oil pump in Ranger, the conventional style geared pump when run with clean oil will easily outlive most engines, for the minuscule fuel savings the far less reliable variable pump makes the cost of a failure or a holed sump where the 10 minute oil change can't be done is costly and a massive waste of time and excess oil when attempting to prime a variable pump. The problem compounds in a 4WD model as it is not easy to remove the sump to replace the pump with an easily obtainable constant flow geared pump as the cross member under the engine is welded and requires cutting and grinding to remove, allowing sump removal. Apparently some early model PX-1's had a bolted X member however I haven't seen one yet.

373,000km on my last 1kd SR5. No tune or chips, egr blank pate 7mm hole, replaced injectors at 200,000km wirh genuine new and 8000km services. Never any issues, so who knows why some crack pistons. Ive mever heard of ranger egr failure but pl A few mates with auto box issues with the rangers.

[@Mosesk1988]

And need to take into account how many were sold of both and how many actually fucked out. Itd be in the .0009 of a percent.

[@lindsayfox6161]

How did you arrive at 0.0009 percent?

[@Mosesk1988]

@@lindsayfox6161 just becuaee theres millions of toyota and rangers on the roads haha.

[@DM-xe7pk]

My son has ranger200,000km egr delet no problem,his mate has over 300.000 no problem.

[@pro-duct911]

out of 100%, only 19% of the car will be perfect without a problem so bet your luck. A Toyota lover will tell you that ford is not good. Ford lover will tell you that Toyota is not good. I own a ford ranger and it never gives me a problem. I've seen some Toyota fail little less than ford but add it all up. It will cost more to fix then fix a few things on the ranger. Cousin go off internet and do some research. Than brought Toyota. A few months later it gave him a lot of problems that were not worth fixing. Now he blaming all your Toyota lover that recommended us to buy Toyota. He now going back with ford. He got a little bit of problem but cost him less than $1000. Now he doesn't have any problems anymore. But he still love Toyota because he knows not every car is perfect and it not about a brand. So don't be hater be a lover. Just thanks your self that you got a good car.

[@JC-zg4xe]

Well said. Toyota and Ford are my two favourite car brands

[@Stevesmate4503]

At the end of the day it’s just a brand new

[@gavazamoabelo4060]

Could you check what common problems the gd engines

[@stelitejet]

I'd agree that the Ford is the way to go.... And Im not a Ford man..... But these days you really have to make things last... They're to costly to replace or fix...😬

[@lindsayfox6161]

A comparison of the actual % of Rangers ( inc BT50s) and Hiluxes with these engines that had catastrophic engine failure BY ALL CAUSES before (say) 150000km would be meaningful. Single case studies and people's opinions don't mean a lot and don't help the purchase decision. Does anyone know what that % might be?

[@Devilsvixen]

Gday, Question....If I do the egr delete on the previous video do i need to do the hose egr cooler bypass also

[@ngzhengyi9704]

If you blank both side of the egr, than you dont need to bypass the coolant pipe because your egr cooler got no exhaust gas to cool down so the egr cooler wont fail

[@paulthompson1654]

Ford Ranger may not have the piston issue but transmission issues , blown egr , diff plugs to low ,,,air-cons that ford cannot fix for the tropical north ,,,, [hint charged with air then blows compressor] ,,,criuse controls that are disconnected by Ford ,,, very very thin paint ,,, window seals that donot touch the glass WOW,,,tail shaft nuts that have insufficient threads Yea Quality be your own judge .....

[@TORTLESSS]

what are australians doing to the 1kd for it to crack when every single country in south east asia, africa, and middle east swear by its reliability?

[@mikhailnimrod8611]

Ford Ranger also crack pistons. That is a modern diesel problem.

[@tom6549]

Its mostly 1kd, ford duratorq 2.2 and 3.2 and zd30's that crack pistons the most from what iv seen.

[@thecommentor8384]

Eat that Toyota fan bois

[@ivorscruton5121]

All news is bad news. Common problems are no different. Everyone ignores engines without inherent problems, as there's nothing to report, Mitsubishi 4N15 has no spotlight shining on it, nor do the Isuzu offerings, perhaps not as popular, but they shouldn't go ignored. Don't you think?

[@tom6549]

4jj1/4jj3 like to snap crank shafts and swirl flapper screws come loose and destroy the engine, also they tend to suffer from a lot of engine sensors failing. 4n15 petty good all round but they dont like being overheated as they have 4 head bolts per cylinder as apposed to most others using 6 head bolts per cylinder. All modern diesel engines have their achilles heels.
