Confirm the Complete J08C Engine Code
Do not purchase this engine based only on the Hino badge, truck model or the basic J08C engine code.
The J08C engine family was manufactured in several variants. Differences may exist in the turbocharger, fuel system, injectors, manifolds, electronics, sensors, engine mountings, sump, flywheel and ancillary components.
The full engine code and suffix must be checked directly from the engine identification plate or stamped engine number.
Before ordering, please provide:
- Complete Hino truck or bus model
- Model year
- VIN or chassis number
- Full engine code and suffix
- Engine serial number
- Manual or automatic transmission details
- Clear photograph of the existing engine
- Photograph of the engine identification plate
- Photographs of the intake, exhaust and mounting points
Customers who are uncertain about compatibility can complete LRD Pretoria’s online engine request form and submit their vehicle and engine details.

Three-Month Engine Warranty
This Hino J08C-T engine is sold with a three-month warranty, subject to LRD Pretoria’s current terms, correct installation and compliance with all installation requirements.
Customers and installers should read the complete LRD Pretoria warranty terms and conditions before installation.
The warranty applies to the engine under the conditions stated by LRD Pretoria and does not mean every external component or accessory supplied with the engine is automatically covered.
Professional Installation Is Required
The engine should be installed by a qualified diesel or commercial-truck technician.
The original cause of engine failure must be identified and repaired before the replacement engine is installed. Installing another engine without correcting the original fault may result in repeat engine damage and could affect the warranty.
The installer should inspect the following before starting the replacement engine:
- Radiator and complete cooling system
- Cooling hoses and thermostat
- Turbocharger and intercooler
- Turbo oil-feed and return lines
- Diesel fuel system and filters
- Engine lubrication system
- Intake and exhaust systems
- Wiring and electronic controls
- Engine mountings
- Clutch, flywheel or torque converter
All required oils, filters, seals and service components should be replaced during installation.
