totoo yan findings niyo po sir na may problem ang D4D "dati". evident yung choking problem na yun sa fuel filter on ALL gen1 D4D engines - 2003-2005(first quarter).
the problem was caused by the fuel filter having a fine micron-rating.
masyadong pino ang filter element. sa dumi at sub-standard rating ng local diesel natin dito sa pilipinas, it causes the filter to seize up, so nagbabara na.
so what toyota did, they re-designed the fuel filter for all D4D engines (Fortuner, Hilux, Innova) starting 2006-to-date just to acomodate the diesel fuel standard na meron tayo dito sa pilipinas.
D4D is euro2 or euro 3 standard na ata in terms of emission testing, but that is using european diesel standards.
dito sa pilipinas, we haven't even passed euro-1 fuel standards. so that alone would give you an idea na sub-standard ang fuel quality natin dito.
so maybe if you're planning to get a hilux, i would suggest 2006 and up. or if it's 2005, just make sure to replace the fuel filter or ask the previous owner kung napalitan na ng bago and you're good to go.
hope this helps ;)
