Hopefully they will iron out the front diff problems

I was rapt to here about, I planned on buying a new cruiser in about 18mths time and was hoping Toyota would bring out something different

Talking to the toyota rep today he said that toyota are releasing a 5.7 V8 diesel twin turbo in about 18 mths time he said that they are releasing a 90 series cab chassis and troop carrier, same motor is going to be realsed in USA in the tundras.

Gday guys wonder if soemone can help, a mate oif mine just picked up an 90 Vitara with an auto in it it, the transmission pisses fluid out from the bellhousing, what would this most likely be, a seal gone? or something more major? what do you reckon?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers ...

Thanks Gutsquisher

Good on ya fellas, there is not too many forum' s that you can post a question and have four responses so fast :)

I think I have heard of Dewars before, maybe seen them advertise?

Wodonga is only 5 hours from here too, which is a bonus.

I havnt got the mechanical knowledge to do it myself ...

Gday Fellas,

Been lurking here for awhile now, in the next couple of months I am going to put a Chev 6.5l v8 diesel in my 75 series ute, have talked to Brunswick Diesels over in perth about it, but am thinking if using someone in Vic and saving $2000 in freight, and save a lot of stuffing around ...
