On Aug-06-15 at 10:51:34 PDT, eller added the following information:A couple good questions have been asked, o I will respond here in case anyone else is interested:Does the truck overheat/any compression/cylinder head issues?I've been using this truck to do a 90 mile commute once a week and it has NEVER even thought about getting hot. There's a couple large grades that put cooling systems to the test, nd it passes with flying colors. You will see a slight raise on the temp gauge, rom normal operating temp (1/4) to about the half way mark on the gauge. Never anywhere near getting hot. Does not consume coolant. Coolant is green and oil is black. No leaky head gasket. I have put several thousand miles on this vehicle over the last couple years and would drive it to South America right now, f that says anything.Are there any leaks from anywhere?There is some oil present on the bottom of the engine, ut it does not produce an excessive amount. Maybe a couple drops over night while sitting. And not enough for me to have to add oil all the time. I've owned the truck for a couple of years and have added no more than a half quart over that entire time. The steering knuckles are wet, o I assume there is a seal that needs replacing there.Is the factory glow plug circuit present and functioning?Yes it is

But I noticed that I made a mistake when building the ad. The truck has 271,000 miles, ot 240,000 like I wrote. Sorry for the mix up, have several vehicles right now and somehow had it in my head that was the miles. At any rate, here is a Hobbs meter to record the hours the ignition was on, ecause, s I stated before, he truck was towed behind an RV for most of it's life, hus the odometer does not reflect the actual miles. The miles the truck dove itself are actually quite a bit less, hich explains why the truck is in as good of shape as it is. I did some research on hours vs miles and it seems that the general consensus is that vehicles average between 30-40 mph over the life of the vehicle. This vehicle was towed long distances on highways between destinations, nd then used locally to drive around, o there's a good chance its lifetime average speed is much less than 30 mph. But, et's play it safe and say it actually did average 30 mph. The calculation goes as follows: 30 Miles/Hour X 5380 hours = 161,400 milesI am by no means an expert in this realm, r mechanic by trade, ut the wear and tear on the truck seems to align more with a vehicle that has around 160 k miles than one with 270 k. Just wanted everyone to be aware of the situation. ++Turbo is in working condition and spools up nicely as you can hear in the video++There is a throttle adjuster under the steering wheel so you can adjust idle speed from inside the cab.

It's a good video to hear the truck start up and run, s well as do a walk around. If the link doesn't work, or some reason, ust go to youtube and search for "1985 toyota turbo diesel for sale" and it should pop up first.https://youtu.be/5IeYlVanvgoAlso, n ebay member asked me a couple of questions that maybe everyone would like to know:What is your reserve?With all due respect, 'd like to let the auction run it's natural course and would prefer not to disclose my reserve. Throw in a bid and find out! ;)Can I call you with questions?Feel free to call me with any questions if you'd prefer phone to email.(805)637-2138
