first time hilux owner

Just purchased my first toyota about two weeks ago. Love the truck. It's a 2.4L diesel, and gets great mileage. The only problem that I have had is the glow plug relay has gone bad. Also the truck smokes a little to much for me. I know that the engine will smoke when I am on the accelerator hard or I am lugging up a steep hill, but it seems to be a little excessive. Any suggestions on where to find a relay and the excessive smoking. Thanks

Welcome!

I don't know much about the trucks but I'm sure some one will in our truck forum. What year is it?

The truck is an 1984 regular cab, long bed, two wheel drive. Thanks for the info, I'll check the truck forum out.
