    djerms,

    I actually had a 1997 hilux 4x2. Never really owned a 4d56 engine based vehicle,. but it seems that okay naman ang feedback. Wala lang masyadong nagbebenta ng old pickups.

    thanks again for the advise.

    Buhayin ko lang yong thread mga Sir. Meron rin akong balak bilhin na L200 sa Company namin. Mura lang kasi due for overhaul na yong makina dahil kumatok na.

    Would like to know w/c is better, overhaul or replace it w/ a surplus engine?

    Ill vote for REPLACE! Overhaul is just using the same troubled engine while replacing it with a surplus will give you a better choice as long as you know how to classify a good SURPLUS... GOodluck sir...

    Neither. If you can look for others who's in it's greatest condition and is only needing minor repairs, better.

    But if there's really no choice, then replace the " heart " of the L200 with a new one, in this case a surplus one.

    We have a 1996 L-200 pick up (bought it brand new) yes very reliable and low maintenance, pang-business (delivery) at pag umuuwi ng province ginagamit namin, napabayaan lang ng driver ung engine kaya kumatok so we have to replace it with a surplus 4d56 turbo only this january. Im very happy kse mas malakas na engine.

    Thank you Sirs for your replies!

    How much is a surplus 4d56 turbo? Saan ho ba maganda bumili & could you recommend a reputable shop for the engine swap?

    I don't know much about diesel engines. Hope I could get tips on how to pick a good one.

    We bought the surplus engine for P50,000.00. Theres a lot of surplus engine store in banawe. Any reputable shop can do the engine swap, ung sa amin kase ung friend ng dad ko na mechanic lang gumawa, bolt on lang naman at palit lang ng engine support.
