*  The canopy windows leak.  They need to be resealed.
*  Part of the dash was enlarged to get a standard sized CD player to fit. The volume control on the CD player is faulty, it jumps up and down sometimes when you hit a bump.
*  One small dent in the driver door from an inconsiderate person in a parking lot.

I posted a video response to the 1L diesel engine start up. People don’t seem to understand what went on before I tried to start the motor. The motor was in a truck that was totalled back in 1985. The truck was sold for salvage and the owner intended to fix it, but never got around to it. So it sat outside from 1985 until 2002 when I managed to buy it. Along the way, the hood and air cleaner were sold or scrapped. I bought the truck without hearing the motor run, so it was a risky venture. As it turned out it was all worth it in the end. Six years later it still runs fine and I havent done anything else to it except change the oil.

1994 Toyota Toyota 4WD pickup 2LT Turbo Diesel Biodiesel

Here is your chance to get a Toyota diesel already set up for biodiesel. The owner says he’s been running on grease for more than 27,000 miles without any trouble using a  GreaseCar system ( www.greasecar.com ),a VegTherm (electric fuel heater) and a VegSensor (thermo controller) for added heat. The swap is based on a 94 standard cab Toyota pickup. The japanese import engine is a 2LT and the truck has a 5 speed transmission. The sale comes with extra parts, and a training session on biodiesel. Here is a short video of the truck running.
