Hi,

I am a new to gq safari and I heard that td42t has 76.5*C thermostat and td42 has 80*C. How do I know whether my engine is td42t? It is factory turbo silvertop but plate only states td42.

Got a bit of a drip onto stabiliser however cannot see where it's coming from. Assuming that it's from water pump weep hole but don't want to strip it until I know that I can get hold of parts.

Also is there a parts catalogue that gives me part numbers based on my Vin?

Many thanks in advance for your time and awesome site

Thank you for all the replies. VIN nr does not come up on partsouk . Truck is original Japanese import without any mods. Bought it from a guy who imported it with 50k km and owned it for 25y. Will take a look at the crank case.

Where abouts would it be on the crank case?
Also rocker cover is black but was told that it's silvertop engine and it's nothing to do with the colour of rocker cover

Thanks for that. jff45 how did you get that popup? Is there a parts catalogue?

Awesome guys. Thank you all for replies.
So how does that engine compare to other td42

There's not much info on gc safari td42t all I can find is gu td42t being the strongest and blacktop weakest

Also are all the parts readily available or am I going to struggle finding new pistons ect.

I have a 97 short wheel base with black top turbo in it but also couldn't finde any data on it it was Japanese import and 12 volts but dual battery as it has an electric winch at front by factory and rear diff locker manual transmission

Makes me wonder why some are 24v like mine. Electrically they are very similar. Saw a post here by a guy who listed the differences which were few. Even fan is same 12v on 24v truck

93silvertop, I have imported a few into Canada and imported the first Y60 Safari with factory TD42T. I can probably help if you need. You will want to disable the EGR system which you can just unplug at the solenoids and the system will go dead.

Thank you. I do not believe mine has an egr but i could be wrong. Will definitely take a look to be sure. Usually I use a blanking plate to stop exhaust gas entering intake.
