[QUOTE="Guest, post: 184647"] My model Hilux is renowned for generating massive amounts of heat through the torque converter and because the transmission cooler is in the radiator, it is prone to overheating when towing up long gradual hills and on sand. I could have done a mod to lock the converter, but that can be problematic. Clearly the newer lockable model autos are built the be able to withstand the extra forces generated and the new common rail Hilux is great with an auto. Though is still prefer a manual and I will till I'm too old to use one. Love my manual 3ltr turbo Diesel Hilux and with its 3" dump pipe and 3' mandrel bent exhaust it sounds like a tractor and the sound of the turbo through the 3" stainless snorkel is awesome :D [/QUOTE]
