Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Check the crank pully isn't loose.

The only other thing to check is floorpan rust around the rear seatbelt mounting points. A ton of them have been failed WOF over here in NZ because of this and it's a costly job to repair. The petrol ones go alright but are very thirsty.

Sounds like the bottom piece of the radiator shroud is hitting the fan. Does the truck have a body lift?

Will these handle 24 volts without additional cooling if at all?

I use Fram heavy duty ones and never had a prob, doesn't matter if the truck sits for weeks. Mine has two filters the same, some have two different filters I think, one with a bypass valve built in.

Sorry, I know it's probably been done to death, but, what is the recommended, in peoples opinions, best turbo kit for a GQ? I'm not after all out power but low down torque is more important. Bushed or roller bearing turbo? Keep in mind I'm after a complete bolt on kit, AXT, Denco etc.

Cheers, Jeff.

Remove steering dampener and re-try.

Inconsistancy was the main fault I have heard with Hiflo injectors, every injector is different. Mate put a set in his Hi-Lux and it ran worse, crack pressures were all over the place and miles from what they should of been.

On a side note, who else has used Hiflo? I was going to get some through them but have since heard a few horror stories about their injectors.

brad-chevlux is right, I'd rather the drag link bend than break other stuff, and yes, I have seen the knuckle where the tie-rod end goes in on the swivel hub break clean off, when that happens you ain't goin nowhere fast, at least if you bend the drasglink or tie rod it's an easy fix to straighten ...

Mine, for a hi-mount.

Sound's like an aircleaner indicator, a red piece shows in the clear part when the filter is dirty and clogged, I've never seen one on a TD42, at least not from the factory.

Cheers, Jeff.

Is the TPS on top of the injector pump plugged in? Does it shift up normally?

Cheers, Jeff.

O/D or no lockup??? If no lockup it a common as fault, well at least it is over here. There is a temp sensor in the trans that won't let lockup occur till the trans temp is up. Bad news, the sensor is part of the wiring and is expensive to replace, good news, most places that know of it simply ...

Overdrive doesn't have two speeds to speak of, what you are feeling is the torque convertor lockup.

Cheers, Jeff.

Don't touch it, mates have been down that road before. Things start showing up and stuffing out even years later.

Cheers, Jeff.

Sorry dude, it gets worse, those camber readings are diabolical. Bent or twisted diff. It's hard to say. Or, you might have a shop that doesn't calibrate their aligner and, or, someone that doesn't know what they are doing did the alignment, check for buckled rims, although the guy doing the ...

I wouldnt be concerned with the different readings, Id be very suprised to find a 4wd with exact readings either side. Yes true, a small difference is normal and acceptable, but the readings he has given are hugely different side to side, half a degree max is acceptable but not 1 degree 20. I do ...

Those castor readings are a bit of a worry, negative castor is bad, but, the main worry is the difference between the two sides. I'd be looking for bent front end components to start with on the right hand side. The left hand side is about right as far as a 2" lift goes so two degree bushes would be ...

Not that bad, I have a GQ auto, It'll maintain 100kmh up most hills running 33's and 4.11 gears.

Cheers, Jeff.

Hiya, can anyone give me an indication of what you pay for a pair of LTR's over there? In particular to suit a GQ Safari with a 2" suspension lift.

Cheers, Jeff.

Huh, GQ's don't have an engine check light. Which light is it and what does it look like?

Cheers, Jeff.

Whats everyone running? I'm running Donaldson ones in the standard housing but aren't to fussed on the amount of fine dust they miss, the engine side sometimes has very fine dust on the surface of the filter housing.

Cheers, Jeff.

BP Vanellus C4 and Fram filters, changed every 5000kms.

Cheers, Jeff.

Instructions normally come with the bushes, but you'll need a hell press to get the old ones out and the new ones in.

Cheers, Jeff.

SWB GQ, 45 psi on and 18 psi off.

Cheers, Jeff.

OK, I have one fitted to my GQ, havn't noticed much of a diff in fuel economy. Temp has dropped in the auto. It doesn't work in 1st or reverse without a valve body mod. The shifts are harsh if you leave it locked and it will shudder like hell as you pull up to a stop. I basically only use mine on ...

Trial and error really - Better to have a little more fuel than not enough.Too lean will equal a hotter engine. Dead wrong, it's the other way round, playing with fuel delivery on a diesel is best left to the experts, half a turn is to much also, half a turn makes a big difference in fuel. Cheers ...

Check your brake fluid level, it will be low.

Cheers, Jeff.
