Alternator and tacho difference in LN65

Post by cathgart »

Have just installed a 3L into my LN65 Hilux instead of the tired 2L. The tacho does not appear to be reading correctly now. Is there a way to adjust it? Also the charge light stays on now as well. I have the 3L alt fitted. Are the regulators different between the 2L and 3L?

Cheers,
Matt

which motor is the 3L and what model toyota did it come out of and if you don't mind me asking how much the conversion was, easy fit as well.

The engine is a 2.8 litre diesel, came out of a 95 model hilux, need the alternator which i have since found out to have an internal regulator, the 2.4litre starter fits, need a 2.8 clutch as they are a bit bigger and I also found out that the sender unit for the tacho in the diesel pump is different so you will need one of those to. Engine $2300 , clutch $225, assorted bits, oil etc $200.

Everything else just falls in, bell housing is the same on the gearbox.
