My searching on their site indicates you could tow 1 tonne, with 80kg ball weight, so long as the trailer has brakes.

Different states may have regulations which undercut the towbar rating of both vehicle and towbar ...

A great way to tour with a Sierra is to join a club and share equipment while on a trip, saves lugging around every thing by yourself. A roof basket is ideal for extras, like an outboard plastic fuel tank..20 litres..lay flat, fantastic, and even a square 20 litre coloured water container ( colour ...

I have one in the shed..a 180 I think.

Your coily hasnt got the typical coily piston problem, cracking ring lands etc has it old Grizzly ??

Assuming you have the required tools (Torque wrench, good sockets, ring compressor etc.) and all the sundries (solvent, gasket sealer etc.) it shouldnt cost you more than a couple hundred dollars for a rebuild kit and a few nights of skinned ...

Anyone give me the average rebuild cost for a '96 SJ80 1.3 engine.
Seems I have one with crook pistons..sounds like a diesel driving off after a cold start.
I guess once the engine is out I may as well do a proper job and renew everything. Damn, there goes my veterans pension for several months ...

G'day guys...I need some help (advice) as to the easiest and as always the cheapest way to modify my 96 coily Sierra 1.3 for a bit more sustained grunt.
