    Hi Tim & Dad, personally I would use the diesel.. rip out all of the petrol systems build a testing stand with the electronics and make that a separate (long term) project figuring it out.
    then once you fix it you can either reinstall the petrol system and sell it to try and get some money back.
    Basically your dad is 100% right,, you want the diesel for almost instant all day long stress free motoring.
    As a side note and revenge on a liar, I would go dump a whole bag of sugar in your old fuel tank and give him some heartache

    • @HarpersShed
      @HarpersShed  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I will still keep the ecu and engine and may do exactly what you said and run it on a test stand just for my own satisfaction.

  • @buttondeity3933

    • @buttondeity3933
      @buttondeity3933 Před 4 měsíci +1

      right now the level of frustration when you can not identify the problem is damming. The diesel should be easier in the way that there are not alot of electronics, most possible problems should be easy to identify in the diesel set.

  • @michaelnelson912
    @michaelnelson912 Před 4 měsíci

    Hey Tim, what was your reason for the swap to get this in the first place? Just the newer body shape? I'm a Landcruiser owner, so I don't get Patrols - but turbo diesel is a wonderful thing! Even better, the twin turbos (in my 200 series) rolling coal overtaking on the highway, towing a 2 ton boat, with clouds of black smoke billowing out the exhaust as people look on in horror... It's a beautiful thing

    • @HarpersShed
      @HarpersShed  Před 4 měsíci

      As a patrol guy I don't get the LandCruiser thing lol. The reason for the swap was I wanted to go to the newer platform of the GQ for the coil springs all round and the strongest diffs and box available. The plan was always to put the v8 but I didn't plan on doing it that soon.
