Re: Hilux cracked flexplate
would driving around in overdrive all the time cause this?
My hilux has a little access hole on the dust plate behind the sump that you can look through and see if it is cracked

i was going to go petrol v8 but had nothing but troubles with my last one in the water and mud and carby troubles on the steep stuff. I know a bloke with a 6.5 turbo in his patrol and the torque is unbelievable but if i cant find one at a decent price i'll just stick with a injected 350 or 400 chev.
