Hello All,

Does anyone know if it is possible to convert the IFS on a '95 MJ Triton to a live axle setup??

Many thanks.

Hello All, Just after a bit of advice here please. I have the "opportunity" to buy a modified Vitara from Victoria. The main mod is a 6" Calmini lift kit. The seller has said that he won't get a RWC done as this is not needed in NSW. Is this true? Also, if I do buy this car and bring it into NSW ...

G'Day All,

Am looking at buying a "cheapish" 4wd and the v8 Dico's appear to be good value these days.

I have seen a '95 model that I am interested in and am just after a bit of advice for things to look out for with these cars, including ongoing service/maintenance costs.

Thanks.

...not on the tailgate itself. On the top of the sill at the back of the car where the tailgate attaches.

Hello All, Have been thinking of purchasing a Jeep Cherokee so went to look at one last night. Seemed like a good one and well priced. Only concern was that had a small amount of rust above the back window area where obviously moisture had collected. Would this put you off buying it or is this ...

Hello All, I am just in the process of selling my Sierra in favour of something a little bigger to accomodate the family. One of my options could be a Freelander so I am just after a bit of advice here on purchasing a 2nd hand one. I have done a bit of research on the www today and so far I have ...

Hello All, I am just in the process of selling my Sierra in favour of something a little bigger to accomodate the family. One of my options could be a Frontera so I am just after a bit of advice here on purchasing a 2nd hand one: 1) If anyone here owns one what are their opinions on them. 2) What ...

...hmmm, motor didn't turn whilst dissy was off.
thought that I had put it bck on EXACTLY the way, but is a possibility that I haven't I spose :(

All, On my '96 Sierra: Just took rocker cover off to replace gasket. Also removed distibrutor to replace "O" ring where it mounts to engine. Put it all back together and now the car won't start. :oops: Haven't done much troubleshooting yet but suspect that there is now no spark. Help! Please!

Thanks for all the info and yes, I do mean CTCSS.

Guys, looking at buying a hand held CB for the fourby. Thinking hand held as at this stage I like the idea of using it when camping/hiking/mtb/whatever. What's the general view on the sub-channel stuff? Some mates are telling me it's a good thing, others are saying that they never use it. Given the ...

Thanks HRZOOK,

The coils are King Spring and the shocks are Ultima.

My suspension really needs replacing anyway, at least the front does, and I thought that this looked like an alright deal.

My intention would be to combine this with a body lift in the near future.

Regards.

Hello All, I have got this quote from www.wholesalesuspension.com.au for extended coils/shocks for my coily: We do a 30mm raised suspension kit for you Sierra. To supply you with King Springs and Ultima shock absorbers to suit your raised height will cost you : $295.00 including for the coils $250 ...

Looks like the car has had a bad load of fuel at some point. Removed the fuel tank and all clear. (I had already bought a spare tank just in case but now I don't need it so if anyone is after a fuel tank let's talk a deal) I replaced the fuel filter and the car goes like a dream now, no probs at all ...

...to remove the fuel tank I need to disconnect the fuel level gauge lead wire (amongst other things).

Where is this? Will it be obvious when I look at it?

...thanks =SKB=
I would have acted on your advice sooner but I broke my wrist at the weekend and taking me twice as long to do anything now!

Thanks again.

Thanks all.
I have just checked the fuel filter and it is full of crap.
More specifically, there are rust flakes in there.
Does this indicate that my fuel tank has rust in it?
Do I need to replace the tank or can I treat it?

...BTW - the air filter that was in there was new.

...just a bit of additional info. On Sunday, the car started and ran fine and I was driving for about 20mins until I got on the Freeway. I was crusing at around 90-100km/h for about 5 mins and then the car started to stall and so I pulled over, started her up again and drove off - then another stall ...

Hello All, There are similar posts to this question in the "Bible" section but I'm not sure that they are exactly the same. Here is the problem... I have a stock standard '96 Sierra. When I first start the car in the morning then it will start first time and idle OK. The auto choke comes on and goes ...

All, Well many thanks for the quick and detailed replies. This morning, using the 3/8 drive, I was able to remove the drain and filler plugs from the rear diff and change the oil :D As some of you have already pointed out could happen, the filler and drain plugs on the front diff are rounded and so ...

Hello All, Have just bought a '96 Sierra and have given it a bit of a service today. However, I wanted to change the diff/gear oil but am unable to undo the filler plug. The filler plug looks like it needs some kind of square allan key to undo it but I could not find such a tool today. Can anyone ...
