Outer Limits 4x4 Board

AFAIK...there is also a supplementry CD stacker that goes under the seat that hooks up to original GQ TI radio as well.
Might wanna check that out.

make sure both driveshafts have the yokes lined up..ie...both fixed yokes have to be lined up or parallel with each other. they can misaligned if the slip joint has been pulled apart...and also check the balance of shaft. Another issue is the angle of the shafts with a 3 inch lift could be too acute ...

I have had the LHS bearings come loose after servicing on 2 occasions now...and it pulled slightly left. Just nipped them up a poofteenth and they were right then...and still are. My theory is the left ones will come loose because of rotation direction just slightly ....and hub tips that small ...

Handbrake??
Maybe stuck on slightly...or a spring inside has come adrift allowing it to rub on shaft/drum. Or maybe has a lopsided mounted shoe in there with steel backing contacting moving parts.

HTH.

Are you talking about a Donaldson pre-cleaner, If so I use a 10" one on my 4.2 GU but a 3lt would only need a 7" one. You may possibly be right about that ...BUT.. I have a GQ RD 28 and I had fitted an 8" precleaner , but after a while of wondering why it wouldnt rev cleanly past 3200 revs (and ...

thanks keith so i can just wack a 4.2 gq diesel radiator in my rb30 wicked thanks :) you dont no if the support frames are the same do ya? I would think that the support frames in the GQs are all the same. Cant for the life of me think why they should be any different really. If anyone out there ...

All the GQ diesels AND the RB 30 radiators are the same. The radiators for the TB42 are the odd ones ....the hoses and filler are on opposite sides to all the others. A good tip for those that have the RD 28...fit a 3 row radiator and add 2 extra strenghthening staps to those already there..ie...the ...

I made mine.
Pretty sure any good workshop manual has the drawings etc on how to make one. I know the geuine GQ manual has ...in the supplement for the 97 models at least.

Cheers Keith

Pretty easy fix....just get a complete ZD 30 airbox out of a GU and fit it up.you will need to grind off the square flange where the airflow meter was fitted ....and a 90 degree rubber bend in 3 inch ...plus a short joiner pipe to join up to turbo intake hose. The inlet of airbox butts up against ...

Well...one thing is for sure...your doing the right thing by not going near bloody Berrima again.
The damage that they did to my troll....and no comeback from them at all..was criminal.
How they can sleep at night with the dodgy workmanship is beyond me.

These motors had an auto choke....and after a while (a few years and 150.000k or so) the bi-metal spring would start to work sometimes and not others. Never did find out exactly why...dry joint inside it maybe....but when I repaced it ....never played up again. Truck did exactly as described above ...

good silcone and steel clamps X2 !!! Can use good quality stainless clamps too (better)....but not those cheapy ones with stamped see-thru threads that actually cut into rubber/silicone and stuff it!! I position my template with auto tape...centre punched all the holes...checked and rechecked it ...

My general rule for solar is....your maximum load is X..so for solar to be usefull...yu need to go approx. a quarter to a third more in charging capacity..bearing in mind that it is only about 6-8 hours aday that you will get maximum capacity charging. Solar will still charge all day but drops to a ...

Sure that all air is out of the cooling system ? The RD28T needs a special procedure for bleeding and holds air pockets if not bleeded correctly. I have long suspected this as I have had trouble bleeding mine. Care to elabarate on this...and ...more to the point ...post up the correct way to bleed ...

Nope!! They aint router bits... They came out of the injector pump head after you removed the injector pipes from the rear of injector pump when you took it off motor. Dont worry about them tho....these little widgets are automatically replaced when the pump is overhauled. How do I know this ...

Have a look in here...a fair way down page tho...

They are a brilliant lttle donk for there size ...but to tow what you are thinking is just stretching the friendship more than a little. A lighter powertrain...smaller engine will be a bit short to tow heavy stuff. Having said that ...I tow a off road camper trailer with mine to some faraway places ...

st391gq - when you say it bolted into the exsiting bolt holes no worries, does it bolt tight and snug into the front corner of the engine bay? cause thats were it will need to be to fit 2 batteries with a 4.2 (nfi about 2.8) matty Yep...goes up quite close to lip on front panel that holds radiator ...

I just finished fitting a ZD30 air cleaner to my RD28 GQ....and damn it makes a difference !! The square section on the engine side I very carefully ground off and used a 90 deg. angle and joined it straight to original intake pipe...with a few alterations of position , angle etc...mostly by just ...

There is a notch on the pulleys themselves...which is lined up with a stud on the lhs of pulley when looking at it from the front...about the 2 o,clock position. This needs to be lined up with no1 piston on BDC (bottom dead centre) Tis prolly too late now ....but the marks on all the sprockets ...

In a word...NOPE !!
Spline count between F and R is different.

I can tell you we tried it and it broke, the LSD is very small and the plates broke into lots of little bits, this was with 36" simexes and a TB42 carby Patrol. Joel In that case...it should work quite well wth standard tyres and normal lifts etc???? I too am interested in this as well....just for ...

Body mount. Mine does the same over any bumps etc., but only on the passenger side. When it starts happening on the drivers side i'll fix it. :P Coxy X2 If the passenger side is makin a noise and the driver side isnt...then it is probably too late for driver side mount hey....unless your truck has ...

they are available after market....gates do a full kit for the 2.8. There are 2 different kits tho ..... From memory late 96 and on are different kit number....sumthin about belt material is different. I bort my kit (97 GQ) about 2 months ago....was well over 200 bux ...about 280 i think...n that ...

[quote="Cort500"]Thanks for the tip. Did you buy the Airflow brand snorkel? Were all the pieces in it that you neded? I think it is a S49 part number. If you dont mind me asking where did you get yours from and how much did you get it for?[/quote Yep ...bort an Airflow one...n everything was in kit ...

Yep. I did mine a few months ago. I got the kit that modified the original Air cleaner housing. TIP.... make sure that all the templates are in exactly the right place...double check and double check. Take your time and it works well ....and is not hard at all really I used a jigsaw with a metal ...

Thanks guys, I re soldered all of the clock board and now seems to keep time... So both probs have been sorted, again thanks. Didn't happen to get a photo of which joint it was on the clock did ya? My clock's flaky too, but I'll be buggered if I can see anything dodgy in the solder joins.. :x Have ...

Did this to mine about 4 years ago....been perfect since.

[quote vl's have a bigger one dan ;)[/quote] X2. I put a 70 amp VL one on my RB30.....auto leccy just had to machine my pulley a little to get it to fit properly. Came with the adapter to hook straight in. I got it stretched to 120 amps so that all my batteries (Dual...camper ..etc) would charge ...
