Seeking info on small trucks : Fuso, Dyana, Elf, NKR,Atlas

Does any villager have any hands-on concerning the above-mentioned trucks?
I’m seeking to buy a real cheap one.

  1. What’s the road life for each?
  2. Availability and cost of spare parts?
  3. If I choose to import, can excessive duty be exempt if I classify the truck as farm equipment?
  4. Engine ya NKR ni mashiringi ngapi. Kuna wadau waliniambia yao irichemka so I don’t know if it’s repairable or needs a ‘new’ one…

What I have experience in ni tingatinga. Najua engine ikichemka unatoa yeye you change rings and thrust bearings etc. Rebore if necessary…sijui if this is what happens to malori
Thanks.

I think hapa zote ni mtumba so its a gamble for your money. The cheapest in that lot is Atlas, kuna zile za zamani that came with QD32 engines na huwa zinauzwa as low as 600k for KAQs. That engine is the same one used in e24 matatus so makanika wana ujuzi kuihusu. Even the gearbox is just kawaida 5 speed. Kama ni mpya utapata iyo iyo Atlas KDD ukiuziwa ata 1M. But the new one ina wire nyingi, sensor kila mahali, so makini nayo. Dyna KD sidhani ziko, na zile on sale utaskia unauziwa KCA nauko 900k. Not worth, FUSO na Elf kwa yards za wapakistan utaskia 2M and its foreign used. For that price afathali ata uongeze 1M you get Isuzu NMR inaretail at 3M cash.
Lakini bottom line ni ile kazi unatakia gari. What are you using the truck for?

Engine ya NKR unless block ime crack is very repairsble. Hufanywa rebore then unanunua pistons zingine zinakuja na sleeves. Then machine crankshaft standard to 25. Weka new con rod bearings na main bearings na overhaul gaskets. Oil pump na watee pump pia weka new, and make sure water jacket haijaziba. Oil galleries pia piga saasawa na petrol in that paint gun compressor itoe all gunk. Hiyo engine ukifunga it will go another 30 years

So NKR it is.

It’s a farm vehicle. Don’t know about the capacity but I’m looking for a dyna chassis size truck. Low cost
