dukerollo Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I’m considering one of these pretty seriously. I need some inspiration. I know there are a few kicking around here. Post a pic of what you have or have seen and a short description if possible. Quote Link to comment
Fetch Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Duke, I am surprised you have not had a reply. I have had two D21's an '88 and currently a '95. My '88 I bought with about 130k mi on it and sold it at 210k mi. My '95 I bought with about 160k mi and it has 190k mi. I do like this series of truck and the 4 wheel drive has been dependable. There were lots of options available and I find a couple on CL here in the NW. On my '95 and I am looking at rebuilding the KA24, it smokes and has low oil pressure. A couple of things to look for are the compression rods and that pesky carrier bearing rubber. The comp rods hog out the mounting point in the frame. I had to have mine welded up and new bushings. The two piece drive line carrier bearing is easy to replace, I have done it 4 or 5 times. The rubber is the part that fails. I lost some pictures I had due to pbucket and my computer having issues. If I did not have my roadster project, I would be doing some serious upgrades to my '95. Let us know what you get. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fetch Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Found an old picture of my '88 at Upper Priest Lake in north Idaho. There were seven of us with four canoes. Edited February 17, 2019 by Fetch 1 Quote Link to comment

Solarninja Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I just picked one of these up as a project myself... turbo ka single cab...heres a link to pics of my new ongoing project https://ibb.co/album/nG6a0a I just bought it off a kid who bought an Ebay turbo kit and got in over his head lol. I took a bunch of photos highlighting all the dangerous stupidity I have to fix but after tearing it down today I'm confident it can be fixed Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted February 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) The current state of affairs... 348,000 miles and still ticking. So far I have just been catching up on the maintenance it has never had (and lowered it). The plug gap was .125”, for example. I’m surprised it ran. I really like it so far.

cosmos Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 Hello. I am new here. Was wondering if anyone wants to help me do a head gasket on a 1986 D21. I am in Los Angeles. Hope this is the right place to post this. We can also take photos and do a nice write up. Might want to do timing chain also. Maybe we photograph and write up. Z24 Quote Link to comment
