What's inside
Fuel filter discipline
The single job that determines whether your injectors survive. Intervals, part numbers, and what happens when you skip.
Injector and EGR service
When to service, when to replace, and how to read the codes before the truck strands you.
Part numbers we trust
Genuine, OEM, aftermarket. The list of parts that go the distance — and the ones we've stopped selling.
Honest dollar values
Real NZ costs for injector service, EGR cleaning, and the jobs you'll do at 200k, 300k, and beyond.
I'm Campbell.
I built this guide by cross-checking Toyota's factory manuals against the 8,500 owners in the Surf Syndicate community. Every fault, every fix, every part number we've tested.

A few quick answers
Is it really free?
Yes. No catch. Free PDF, delivered to your inbox in the next couple of minutes.
Why are you giving it away?
Because we sell parts for these trucks. We'd rather you keep yours on the road for another decade than have you get burned on a bad repair.
What's the 10% off code for?
Anything on surfsyndicate.co.nz that fits your 1KD-FTV. Good for one year, one per customer.
Will you spam me?
No. Expect a handful of emails to help you look after the truck, then very occasional updates. Unsubscribe anytime.
