Awesome content, keep it coming. Don't be afraid to make longer videos. Anyone who's interested in the topic will watch!

Very interesting to hear. Over here in NZ we obviously have a substantially cooler climate. We dont seem to have anywhere near your issues of cracked pistons you seem to. Our local courier has 1.2 mil kms on his 1kd hiace. On its second clutch and gearbox now but get this. Never had injectors. No cracked pistons etc. Thousands of 1kd hiluxs and main issues is clogged intakes and injector seats. I have the last version 2014 prado with 1kd and it seems like it will tun forever. Just like my 04 1HD-FTE. Thanks for your intel. Keep it coming

keep the vids coming, its so interesting

would love to know what the answer is to a reliable 1kd engine?

good on ya mate I sold my toyota landcruiser because I recon they are shit box too complicated and not reliable but I find most modern vehicles are I just don't know what to buy.

Thanks mate 👍🏻

Thanks Peter, looking forward to the videos you are the best when it comes to these engines. Legalities aside do you think a total EGR block on the 1kd will help or hinder the cracked piston issue and longevity of the engine?

Hi Peter, we have a 2013 Prado, would you be able to post the link to the Toyota information re guidance on towing etc for this model?

If you were ever to have this problem of cracked pistons and you were going to rebuild your motor would it be worth putting in slightly stronger Pistons ??

Add boost to a 1HZ and they do the same thing, melt/crack pistons. Toyota pistons are shit.
