Diahatsu hijets are manufactured in Japan as a Rightdrive Minitruck they weigh 1400lbs and can carry 780lbs payload. They are powered by a three cylinder water cooled 660cc engine with a cast iron block and alumium over head cam cylinder head. They use a rubber timing belt. As thses trucks have to be 15years old in order to import the Japanese Minitruck or Keitruck as they are known in Japan it is a good Idea to replace the Minitruck Timing belt. As Rubber gets old it can become brittle and crack. This might lead to the belt stretching or even snapping. A new timing belt on a 15 year old Mini Truck is good maintainance.
