I have a front mount cooler on a 2h and I have been running for years now on about 12psi boost. Goes well and works well with a 12ht you can do a lot more boost as the engine was already designed to run turbo.

2H is an easy pleaser especially when turboed and auto and no rust.
ditto Dennys' call.
They are bloody good trucks without cancer(rust).
Maybe get a compression check if you can for the kays.
This wil help with the truth about its service life.

Do you have a an equalising pressure line between the gearbox and transfer?
It is made up from brass 10mm bsp fittings and allows a transfer of fluid between box and transfer, the leak from the rear could be normal pressure build up on the new seals...............maybe.

I loved my old 2h turbo. It was a weapon.
I had a Denco turbo kit, then i custom fitted a front mount intercooler. Used to run 13psi boost. Never had any dramas.
Sure a 12ht is a good motor, but the 2h isn't given enough credit for being a tough old girl. It would keep neck and neck with a ...

80 rear diff will bolt straight into a 60. they are a fair bit stronger, much heavier case, bigger side bearings, gears are more or less the same but better supported so less likely to break. all 80's are LSD or locker rear.
As quoted by Dumbdunce- my truck runs an 80s diff

Bill,
Just check that your replacement radiator is an Aussie / Toyota original capacity. A few years back the radiator in my truck was replaced with a cheaper option (Thai import) which functioned but crapped itself after corrugations on the lower seam.
After closer inspection the core was F ...
