just had a 2014 iload die and this video asks alot of questions i am faced with. Van ran so well i re-did the signwriting a year or so ago, so it looks fine. plus the shelving. Still not sure what way I will go.
it cost me $18k in the end, and I ended up having to do the timing chains & oil pump/ sump myself after the spending all that money, The motor rebuilder lied and gave me a repaired motor not a full rebuild that I paid for, and the mechanic did not want to do anything apart slapping it in. I would consider a full motor from the wrecker and just swap it out, maybe $7k
I love the I load because of the room. Now I changed my mind. I think once you iron out any bugs? She'll be sweet! Maintain the engine and she'll run for another 220k.
I own a petrol Iload, it’s amazing. 160xxxkms no issues other than normal clutch struts. Buy a petrol Iload used in really good condition. 15 thousand is way too much to spend. How often did you change your oil?
You were right to do what you did otherwise you just start "firefighting" issue after issue and it ends up costing more than to just replace and definitely cheaper than buying a new/ second hand van at the moment plus kiting it out.
If you want those things to fly, well the later ones anyhow, install the boost module from chip my diesel, turn it all the way up, cut out the very restrictive backflow reduction grilles in the air flow meter (leave the metal one) and drill some 40mm holes in the bottom of the air box to flow more air, and with a light load they run a 15.5sec quarter mile down from stock 16.6. Still not 'fast' but allot faster than most vans and 4wd's. minimal change in fuel use if you go easy most of the time too, and heeps better towing with more low down torque. 65k with it since new and still no issues with it. O and change that oil every 8k regardless too, 15k is too long between changes.
I'd recommend buying new and keeping them untill the warranty runs out and then flog em. 4 to 5yr turnover still have good resale, aswell newer models are usually more fuel efficient and save more on fuel, lower insurance cost, safer as well as fixed price servicing, lower repair cost as most is covered under warranty. If its the same make vehicle you upgrade to fit out should be a direct change over or very little modifications.
My Hyundai iload started to died on a trip home from a great day out with a car load of clients with mental health issues! It was a night mare, but the faint knocking sound i first heard turned into a loud knock that my mechanic (I took the car straight to him) heard and diagnosed on the spot as the fuel injectors which he fixed along with a tune up. Long story short on a test around the block he told me it "Died"!!!! and now i was up for $4000 and a dead car :( My question is this should i pay someone to put a new or refurbished engine in this van or send it to the wreckers? I am an artist i don't earn a lot but have about $10,000 saved and wonder if i should risk getting this fixed? I need a car to at least get to work! and at the moment i am running around in a petrol car that is so old and has done 360000ks i know right!!! I am grateful to have the use of it but it is obviously on borrowed time!! I have to make a decision on what to do...throw my money at fixing my Turbo iload or send it to the wreckers and buy another cheap car? Trouble is it will mean no more nice trips for my clients as the van was great for fitting them all in. What would you do??

This shape iload is so much better than the new shape.

every 5,000, the rebuild ended up costing much more, new EGR unit and pipe, new timing chains,and the list goes on, I should of just bought a new van
@@DrLockShop oath, my timing chain just went so that another 3500
@@ryanbaumber7643 To have a mechanic replace it, 3500 should be bout right. I did it myself cost $250 in parts
@@DrLockShopyes I’m doing mine, costing me around 700 for all parts, water pump, cam phasers gears chains guide etc.

Thanks for the info, that sounds exciting, I might have to have a look at some of those mods

Couldnt you have just replaced the one injector??
Yes, maybe but then your still left with a van with 220km and who know what will go next
I buy used car and drive it to the ground. I’ve done what you did and I know my cars inside out much better and with confidence.
