Bit of a long shot but so far I'm not getting much help from the HiLux Owners Club site and i wondered if anyone here could help point me in the right direction.....
the short story is that I'm prepping a HiLux to overland in south america and here it can be high altitude - very high easily 3000-5000m. Ive noticed that there are some different parts specced for the 3.0D4D KUN26 for high altitude countries like Peru etc. However, what I'm trying to get is a DEFINITIVE list of the additional parts on high altitude spec vehicles for that market. I would also like to get the variant number for the model sold in that part of the world. So I can see some additional pressure valves, filtering and pipes but I need to understand whether there are are other things like a different ECU flash, or exhaust, or fuelling (e.g. diesel heaters etc).
Can anyone please point me to where/who can give me definitive technical info like this. I haven't yet contacted the EU technical help line or a local dealer (as im in outback Australia ATM) but from what I've read they can only help with european vehicles (ie may not help with south american specs
The Lux in its standard form is specd to 3000m but I will be going a Looooooong way above that
Thoughts/ideas/contacts/access to the Toyota master computer?
Part 2 of the question is that the pistons were improved following problems reported in Australia......anyone able to confirm the Engine Number from when this was done
Thanks in advance - sorry its not LC but this forum has been so good over the years at answering my questions
