Thanks Ronny, have a great evening!
Thanks for the video mate got mine cleaned out and up and running today at home cheers
Thanks. Honest and straight to the point, as usual.
Sealed alternator, that's a new one for me! Excellent vid.
Here in the States we never heard of a water cooled alternator , but you guys go to some crazy out of the way places,thanks.
They were developed for the mining industry as salt levels underground can be 3 tines that of the ocean.
John Diaz I’m like you, I’ve never heard of such a thing. But, all of the sudden I really want one.
BMW's have water cooled alternators from the factory.
These have been used in the US for years in certain applications.
Seems like a cool idea but also just a other added element for possible failure.
Holy cow! I never knew that existed. Great idea! Now to find one in the USA for my old Montero (Pajero)
2300bucks and its yours lol
amazing product
thanks for the explanation, I'm sure many will benefit from the fix-it knowledge. I'd like to see you review the new RR Cullinan, maybe even a comparo with the bentley bentayga
Great review Ronny ....the price is up there but as the review states if your going full on off road mud dust ect, cheap insurance and reliability = Smile on Face
I'll add a watercooled alternator to the list of mods I eventually need for the 76 before I do some longer tours then. For now, though, the factory one should do if I just keep out of the mud for a bit. Cheers Ronny.
Thank you.
I should probably get one of those, had to replace mine just few weeks ago 🚜😢
My Xterra needs this !
Hey Ronny another great video and a great product for the modern 4wd. I assume that it would out last any standard unit on any 4wd as it is sealed and water cooled. Again I assume it is repairable with new brushes and gaskets. The 140A is also great.
Love your videos and they keep reminding me how good my Twin Cab 1HDT 80 Series is.
Interesting stuff, and don't even own a 70 series. I watch all your vids regardless, they're always good, even your older ones where you aren't quite as comfortable in front of the camera.
and don't forget about the diodes in a regular alternator back plate. this is what got killed in my previous lada niva a dozen times after driving through mud or even muddy water, cause this is deadly conductive due to the minerals in it. with the brushes on the other hand no problems whatsoever. luckily, there's a replacement bracket around to mount the alternator on top of the engine... don’t mind, now I enjoy my LR3y
Hey Ronny, love your videos. Great to watch, if I may ask is it possible if you can do a piece that compares a v8, v6 and a 4 cylinder motor together with their pros and cons in off-roading. Hope that’s not too much to ask. Thanks.
Awesome thanks
I’d love to get one but the price holds me back.. my top 3 mods to my 76 are .. gear box (linger 5th) ...oil catch can.. and a little one but combined have been so useful .. a scan gauge and cruise control .. hope I can get on modified series one day :)
Nice one
Wouldn’t mind seeing a review comparing standard wheelbase vs 300mm extension similar to what patriot offer.
Hi Ronny these alternators are an excellent addition to a 76, 79 and 200 series and well worth the cost
@Ronny, thank you for interesting video. as i understand OEM USD priced alternator lasted 100 k km, without any big issues?
Overall shall be fair to compare PDP realiability vs OEM after PDP last at least 50 k km or 100k km. Hope to see long life test.
Comparing OEM VS PDP prices isnt cheaper to carry 1 spare alternator and price difference invest into other equipment. Event some manufacturers has products with rated 290A output and 400 USD price range.
Spare Alternator the only thing i always leave in my 80 would love a sealed water cooled unit
awesome vid thanks Ronny. Are they looking into other vehicles?
Also, i think you gave us a glimpse into an upcoming modified video...... :)
So then, whats you 3 most, unliked about your 79 or 70s for that matter? And can you change them from factory?
What was Toyotas reasoning for mounting alternators so low? That river crossing is crazy!!! So jealous of your rig
Yes I rounded one of these philips screws trying to get the bushes out in the car... Painful location, I had to remove the alternator because of this... If cashed up as said a great upgrade depending on the type of driving u do!
Gday ronny
Any chance of a parabolic leaf suspension review?
Hmmm wonder if i can fit one too my brunswick diesel 6.5 gu patrol , wont have to carry a spare in the back , hey PDP tell us when u have them in stock : } love your work ronny
Review for diesel/gas conversions please.
There is another option, the mining/military upgrade, which is available from knowledgeable Toyota dealers, that repositions the factory alternator from the orginal position to level with the top of the engine using genuine belts and Toyota engineered mounts and offers the option of the mining/military spec alternator, manufactored by Bosch, is semi sealed, completely brushless, submersible, produces 250 amps @ 1500 rpm and can be configured for either 12 or 24 volts. Upgraded wiring harness, digital dash display showing both volts and amperage is part of the package. Complete package as a factory option/fit will vary between dealers. This upgrade is a part component of a extensive Bosch/ Toyota developed mining/military suite. Another component is the fitment of a aircompressor, again utilizing Bosch/Toyota engineering. The suite, that has 180 components, is available for civilian Landcruisers, but only the Workmate, which is the base of all mining/military vehicles.
Its next on my list of upgrades 100%...take it from someone who's had this issue twice and was so clogged up it couldn't be cleaned on the car. 3-4hrs on the side of the track ripping it out of the troopie (8hrs the first time at murchison offroad) It's not fun...gotta drop panhard and steering dampener to get it out (well we couldn't get it out any other way)
wish i had a spare 3k for 1 of those .. my son has gone through 4 atm and thats been within 6 months .. we are looking into relocating the alternator to the top of the motor away from the mud level as it is the mud that bogs into them every time and they dont cover water and mud with replacement warranty .. i told 1 supplier that he best change his advertising stating they are for 4wd vehicles as they certainly are not ...
‘Travel Buddy’ review & tips & tricks.
Be interested to see parabolic leaves vs standard leaves vs coil conversion.
I agree. I nearly went with parabolic suspension but couldn't get enough actual info to use them. There's lots of anecdotal comments on the web so would be excellent to have some real user feedback.
I'll see what I can do, surely there will be someone up for the direct comparison but both will need to be dual cabs with roughly the same amount of weight
great Ronny, love to see that test
excellent idea Tim
@@Ronny_Dahl Ronny!!! So did you 'see what you could do' matey? Still waiting for the parabolic spring review, your'e killing us with suspense, dont lose out on the opportunity to tell or even better show us what your experience is/has been with parabolic springs. I'd swap over from ARB upgraded springs to parabolic if they are good for unladen and loaded, but need to know. C'arn mate......
Whats the cost Rohn? Do they make them for other model 4x4s?
Will this alternator work on a 80 series/ "1991 land cruiser" Petro fuel...
Thanks!
Does the same problem occur in the LC200 ?
Do another RG Colorado modified!!
Lovely new alternator and price?
I think toyota needs to redesign where the alternator sits as it should higher in the engine bay not at the lowest point..
I call that a design fault..
stay out of the mud and stay away from the beaches as a salt water corrodes the larger dynamo that spins in the housing.. which has copper windings in it..
Do you carry a spare alternator? Thanks Ronny!
Ronny, need to pull you up on something you said @11:01. Garden variety WD40 does not evaporate, it leaves a protective film, unlike brake cleaner or electrical contact cleaners.. 'WD' stands for Water Displacement.
yes you are 100% correct but if you have nothing else it will be the job.
Ronny, thanks for the info. Since the new alternator
are different than stock in power output, does it require ECU tuning, or it is
a direct install??
Direct install
What year model is it do u prefer pre pdf 2017?
Do they use Toyota replacement parts inside?
hey ronnie i don't believe that unit could be 100% sealed, just because of that cable gland, even if it is rated to IP66, unless they have used a special liquid to seal it. thanks mate keep up the great videos
Its water cooled, it must be 100% sealed to work..
my BWM 740i have water cooled sealed alternator for ages - what a pain in the butt.
Hey! When's that Y62 Modified coming up mate? Very seriously thinking of buying one over a 200 series! 👍
Next Friday mate
also another comment im suprised there is no brushless alternators on these vehicles as stock
Hey Ronny
Been watching you for a while, I’ve learnt a lot from your videos
I have a question......
I’m a owner of a 2010 76series wagon.
Regarding the rear wheel track 100mm difference, What is the most affordable and safe way to fix this problem?
-55 offset rims is the cheapest why mate
Way
For those asking: the price is in the $Aud2k-3k range.
Not cheap at $2300 but like you said, do you want to be reliable or not
Its interesting how your top 3 mods are just fixes for issues that come from the toyota factory, im not one to judge though, i own a land rover...
All cars have some issues, mainly cause they wanna keep car affordable, not judging either, as I have a Hilux
Hilux's are pretty good though right? my top three mods are actually to fix all the standard issues as well, heavy duty driveshaft at the front, re-designed cooling system and buying a good diagnostics tool haha.
yeah mate thats what i was getting at!
Modern 4wds and cars manufactures have a different focus today than in the past. If you read old 4wd magazines with reviews on the new 4wds of the day you will find that alternator position among numerous other similar things where top topics that were presented for deciding if the 4wd was good or bad. Things like on road handling and on road comfort were at the bottom of the list compared to off road handling and durability and maintenance.
I couldn't agree more with these comments, the older 4x4s are looking more attractive every day. Unfortunately these current 70series are probably the best of a bad bunch of new generation 4wds. The fact that you pay big dollars for a so called purpose built rugged vehicle and then have to spend crazy amounts of cash just to fix what Toyota should've fixed in the first place, really adds salt to wound. 😔 I can honestly say that I would never want a late model 70series.
Any idea if there is anything similar for a prado 150?
At this stage as far as I know there won’t be one unless they start using 150’s underground which I don’t see happening. Perhaps it’s possible to alter and fit but I’m not sure
LOOK LIKE NEW 4X4 DRIVER HAVE BETTER WAY KEEP POWER TO BATTLEY.
THANKS, FOR VIDEO
1:10
Mate I'd absolutely love to watch that video. I'd appreciate if you linked or reuploaded it
that will be up next friday mate ;)
Ronny Dahl
Awesome 👍
Wouldn't it be great if Toyota offered this as an extra from factory pre rego, or at least sealing the factory one as standard
Doesn't it get overheated with the heat that comes from radiator?
Hey ronny do they make these to fit a GQ??
would need some genius custom work for that to happen
Ronny mate, am i missing something or is that a sneak peak leak of a Patrol Y62 modified episode???
Reilly Hurst waiting for it as well!
Next Friday mate is the Y62
legend! Looking forward to that one!
I was just about to post the same question! Thought I must've missed it. There is one here in s.a that I see all the time and its slowly evolving. It sounds nice.
This guy does my head in …
How's the alternator going 5 years later?
So what's your 4th favorite mod?
Vhey Preexa lockers
Yeah but what is your fourth favourite mod?
Hahahaha that’s a tough question mate. There are a few things that come to mind at the same time
great comment
200 has same VDJ engine, does it have same alternator? Is it in a similar low position?
Tim Freeman yep. Shocking spot.
Tim Freeman 200 series sealed alternator is being released soon. Its in the same spot but the extra turbo ducting makes it alot harder to reach and replace brushes on the car.
Ronny. Think you can ship me a 78 series to the states? I have an 80 series but I really would like a diesel.
another 15 years and you can legally import them
But what's your 4th favourite mod?
mate thats one I can't even answer, too many things are fighting for 4th
One thing that must must never mention in polite company is the grubby subject of money.
However, since I'm impolite (and grubby) I'm under no such constraint - $2300! Get that up ya!
hi @ronny dahl who can I trust to install this in victoria? Please don't reply saying any shop can do it. We need a shop as realible an knowledgeable as pdp here.
Venom2007s find a shop that cares about cars not about bottom line, keep in mind everyone fucks up every now and then. It’s just about how willing they are to admit fault and the speed to fix.
Venom2007s rotin automotive in Arthur’s creek is your best bet!
Opposite Lock... i use the guys in Ferntree Gully. awesome blokes and extremely knowledgeable.
We are going to work with a shop over there who will stock our products and be able to fit them. More details coming in the next month or so. We do offer full fitting instructions to fit these though as well.
great to hear. Looking forward to it!
Alternator sealed! Then what about starter motor & air con compressor??
Ant Y all air con compressors are sealed mate. They wouldn't work other wise...
Chris Peters
See that factory alternator, air con compressor externally look is about similar, so here d pulley will too share the same fate like factory alternator.
Starters are sealed as well (perhaps not sealed, but enclosed). They don't run long enough to need ventilation.
just seal and bubble wrap the whole truck.... just to be sure!!
price??
$2300.00 Australian dollars
That is expensive but worth it if going really remote.
Holy cow! That is a pricey alternator. I think I will take his advice and stay out of the mud.
Not sure if the company you named supplies the mining industry but I have heard that these alternators , water cooled, aren't 100% reliable. Have it on good info that many have been sent back because they are fucking up. Of course the mining conditions aren't what a regular 4wder would go through day to day so maybe for the average man they would be sufficient but I wouldn't call them bulletproof. As I stated ,don't know if they supply them but have been told that they are WA company
Whoooa hold up! I didn’t see a Nissan Y62 mod episode 🤷♂️
Can anyone point me to this episode?
Tia
Where's Part 3 for "Ultimate 4 wheeling adventure remote desert" ?????
this Sunday mate, every sunday until done ;)
Sweet Cant wait.Keep up the great work Mate.
I've worked for CarQuest for 10 years. Why not carry a can of electric motor cleaner. if you bog down in mud. disconnect power spray that baby down with some cleaner and let it dry. boom back in business. couple bucks. ??? never been in that situation but i think that may work?? CRC PART # 05718
Daniel Roth doesnt achieve F/A
The mud wears the parts down and sticks the brushes
Very expensive though
(TOY)ota...
$2300 holy crap
Cost more for a tow truck !!
You can buy a lot of alternators for 2300$, Ronny.
sturmtiger305mm . Very true but also semi stupid comment considering the amount of remote driving he does.
You can't buy that many Toyota alternators for that money!
How much will a tow truck cost from the middle of nowhere?
Quality costs money, though I'm not surprised many 4 wheel drivers struggle with this concept, considering the amount of cheap and nasty kingz gear I see around the place.
Didn't really think that comment through given the context of the vid champ!
"Mods" that just to fix factory problems right..
Our 100 series eats balls for the same reason. Pretty sure the starter is in the valley too. 🙄
You didn’t pay for that upgrade though did you?!????
11:55 just stay outa the mud.. haha was that a joke?
Should have said there's a link in description. As obviously people these days can't use their brain and figure things out for themselves.....
I'm pretty sure I did, if not my bad :)
"Biasness" - bias
lol toyota problems..
