Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Asking on behalf of a friend, he has a company leased pardo and wants to run duel batterys for his fridge but they wont let him modify the car and all that BS. so i was just wondering can you use somthing like a ctek unit to charge a battery in a case that could be located in the rear of the car ...

does it take a while for the glow plug light to go off?


I've been sort of having the same problem as you, my glow plugs are on the way out and when I have them on the motor will use up more diesel (I don't know why that is)

I've also been using some chemtech injector cleaner and that has helped ...

ok well there is always alot of talk on here about what turbo people should fit to there 4wd. I had this problem when i was looking at what turbo i should fit. trying to get info out of a shop is hard. a few people i have talked to have said you need to see what rpm it makes a certain boost.

yes ...

I don't know what the law is etc on this but I'm in QLD and I guess your wanting to weld in some little plates to simply have the bolts something decent to hold onto for the sliders.

I guess it would be ok, from a dept of transport view point.

As I've extended the chassis on 4-5 HR work trucks ...

Be careful about using a Laptop as a GPS in cab - I can tell you from recent experience that a VDU that faces the driver and can be operated while the vehicle is in motion (even though you aren't) will cost you 3 points and $133 dollars.

I had a GPS in my 200 Series below the level of the dash, in ...

super cheap and auto barn both have additives.

auto barn looks to have better stuff than super cheap though as they have some additives from the USA that kill bacteria.

I've had a problem and only just found out what's been causing it.

Maybe someone else had the same problem.

The problem is The glow plug light light's up (working I guess) anyway motor starts up fine.

Though when turning off the motor it won't stop, and have to pull a plug on the fuel pump or ...

Hyundai Serento are really good.

I know a guy who can has petrol and can go from bris to sydney or a bit past on 1 tank.

Diesel is really great as well but you need to keep it serviced and tuned.

Most of the China factories are happy to just rebrand/sticker up the 1 product to anything you want for free as long as you buy the right amounts of said product.

It's kinder funny as some of these companies can send you 40,000 of these pumps in 3 days from China to Australia yet say they are very ...

Real cheap because of this, Efficiency 16%

So Chinese cheap arse solar panels.

Some of the top of the line solar panels are around 90% efficiency, the poly ones cost a packet for them, the RRP are more in line with the upper middle range prices.

After all there's a reason why you'll pay $30,000 ...

Is this the sort of machine they'd use in the Quintrex etc etc factories making tinnies? Often wondered what they use..........

Boat joints use MIGs using TIG is silly as you'd spend all day welding the hull.

say you have a 6 meter boat hull and you need to do 5 or more hull length welds going ...

From this year on gas will increase in price till 2015 where it'll be the same price as unleaded fuel.

So in the long run may cost you more seeing as diesel has in general been cheaper, In QLD metro at least.

Might be able to sus out super cheaps part guide.

That lets you do searches and get prices pretty good.

real handy as I need an Alt bad and thinking of just shelling out for a new one.

Very expensive glass. A bloke at work broke a rear side window yesterday on a near new F250 . Something in the vacinity of $700+ to replace it.

YEs and that's probably cheap as the repair places can only use new parts from the maker.

So they ring up Ford Aust.
they say nar don't keep that part ...

I don't see how deformation was ever an issue, no one attacked the company. Everyone knows early GU wheels crack and states it regularly, I have never heard of Nissan suing anyone.

It is a great response from EWW, not many companies would have behaved so professionally.

x2, if they're reading ...

Diesel Australia was great for me, did a good job but are near moss street south bris.

Just let ACCC and DOTS know.

they'll probably sort it out far far better than what 1 person could.

on a diesel without a throttle butterfly, a large intercooler tends to increase lag only in first gear/starting out, but under constant, through the gears acceleration, acts as an accumulator, actually improving response.

bigger = less restriction + more heat rejection. put the biggest you can fit ...

All I could see is the Diesel manifold being much larger as the diesel motor runs at 80:1.

meaning there's 80 times more air to 1 shot of diesel fuel.

So if your not pushing in enough air you don't get the power you need, RPM won't really mean much as diesel are only have low RPMs due to the the ...

I chucked in rad cleaner/flush run the 4wd for 15mins till the temp needle is around the normal type driving temp, turn off the motor.

Open up the 2 drain plugs let everything drain out.

Get the water hose, put it into the rad opening, leaving 2 drain plugs open.

Start up the motor, this really ...

I have the same (sort of) size tyre and was running at 40psi currently at 38psi, I think 40psi is better.

The tyres would get the tread chewed out of them at 36psi or less also too bouncy for my liking.

Geezuz Bruce, the last time I purchased a bottle of A747 (around the early 90's!!!) it was $28 a litre bottle .. . Not sure what it's worth now but it surely hasn't come down in price .... I think it would be better to let the pump wear out and rebuild it.
its hard to find now at dealers.. I used ...

mmm, this would screw some of the new late 2008/2009+ diesel motors

Ford power stroke and the Land cruiser 200 motor can't use diesel fuel that has sulfur in it, so adding the additives etc screws them up as well.

0ppm diesel isn't here quite yet though 1-2 years for Australia but will be ...

Wouldn't it be best to start here and then work out where to go after reading.

next prob is no adjustable rods legal in QLD no 35s on patrols , good luck with that .

mmm, While I'd like to agree there's plently of 4WD's in QLD ...

Have you checked the tread for nails/screws.

A nail usually won't drop a tire straight away, it'll stay in the tread and simply allow a tiny leak of air.

You might not see a nail in the tire if they are the thin type nails, usually get them when driving around building sites/building site gutters ...

How long is an MX bike engine expected to last between rebuilds???
How long is a truck engine or mine vehicle engine expected to last between rebuilds?


a) No idea.

b)A mine 4wd won't last long enough to get to a rebuild anyway.

As the ore dust rusts them out within 50,000klm to 100,000klms, if ...

Yep for sure, there are plently of kits in the US, should be ok here as rancho just bring their US stuff here.

You just have to pick what height you want to rise to... as I think the F250 kits can go over 20 inch lifts, I'm fairly sure you can get a 24 inch lift, not sure but just out the US car ...

Re adjustment?

I would prefer a drilled and tapped hole, but im also scared of shavings making their way into the turbo! Is there a way to eliminate this problem? vacuum cleaner nozzle up close when drilling and tapping?


Is your hole on the exit pipe or simply on the header?

For question: Your best to take ...
