My gq 2.8 did 750 thou of hard work. I had the 3 litre petrol befor that and did 415 thou hard on it as well. I traded it in on the 2.8 9 years ago and it was still running around town up until a couple of years ago. Heaven only knows how many it ended up with. Neither of these vehicles gave an ...

I dont know what planet you live on bogged but around here the 4.8 is the hottest thing in the 4b yards. There are those that arent as hung up on the fuel deal as you and have a genuine need for the power output of this engine or just appreciate it for the same reason. Much like owning a hot car of ...

I did 5ooo miles in the us in a duramax powered dual cab and man these things rock ...

Guess I must be the lucky one according to some of the smart arses on here, I did 750.000 kays on a 2.8 without so much as a murmer of trouble. The vehicle lived on the redline and towed a heavy work trailer all its life and ate 4.2 deisels for a snack. The only mods were a snorkel and a mandrel 2.5 ...

Dear Dr. Ex.
I am researching a set of extractors and a 2 and 3/4 inch stainless system for my 4.8 litre patrol. Whilst I do like a muted extraction note to my vehicles i am not into loud. What mufflers would you recco to give me the flow as well as quiet.
Thanx in advance.

Horses for courses. As a younger and less silvery dingo I went for the basic dundee models and they served me well in my jaunts through the scrub in pursuit if the wiley boar and the yella belly. The cleanup at the end of the weekend was the main advantage. These days i no longer test my limits in ...
