Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yeah I use it in a TD42 Nic, can't say it makes any difference to temps it reaches, BUT it recovers noticeably quicker when, say, you come over the top of a hill with camper in tow, and it's crept up a bit on the temp. Comes back down quicker than before, so can't be a bad thing.

BA Falcons do the same thing; just wire a load resistor in parallel fixes it, the type you would use to stop indicators flashing too fast when replacing globes with LEDs.

Got a problem with a V8 diesel VDJ79R 2011 Landcruiser cab/chassis, had to R&R radiator and now cannot get airlock out of cooling system. According to diagram on air box you need to remove air bleed valve (top of radiator, no prob), filler cap (no prob), and "engine cap" (big prob - hasn't got one ...

Obviously that includes pulling your knob all day and wondering why everyone thinks you're a wanker.

Mate I have no idea how to post pics and drawings, I can only describe this in words but I'll have a go, hope it makes sense. Ok there should be a copper bus bar between the top left and bottom left, between the top right and bottom right, and in the middle between the two tops and another between ...

Is yours turbo eighty8??

I just top up the diff oil before going for a fourbie, alot cheaper pffffffffffffftt u fail at life Are you feeling irritable and blowing things out of proportion? Must be that time of the month, poor you... Zoltan x2 So you just top the oil up to make sure there's enough to wash all the grease out ...

Do the facet pumps still flow if power is lost? Normally used just to transfer fuel from a sub to main tank.

I tried search but will grow old and die sifting thru everything... Ok a mate is looking at a 100 series with 1HZ (aftermarket DTS turbo) with auto trans (not common I imagine), and has been told by another mate that his 80 series petrol's auto karked it and the local auto-guru said it was common ...

Combined with a passenger side Superior superflex arm would be pretty impressive I imagine.

Just be aware there are two rebuild kits you need; the brake service kit with the clutch material and new ballbearings and spring and stuff (p/n 8409) and also the lower housing service kit which has the drum shaft seal etc (p/n 8680), you can also get them from any 4wd shop that deals with Ateco ...

I also use a PWR rad, mine is natural TD42 but have replaced the clutch, hoses, 77* tridon high flow thermostat, and flushed the sh1t out of it but still gets over half on a hot day, let alone with air con on. If it's hot enough to need air con, it's too hot to use the ShortyIQ thing if I have ...

What about the flamin fabrications twin in-line motor mod? They seem to be a MUCH cheaper way of getting two motors on a high mount, worth looking into I would think?

I did this trick with an air locker solenoid on a couple of rover v8s and was going to do it with my mate's comp truck but was advised that is was not needed on these motors; under advice we just put a hose from the breather into the cab so when it gets wet and wants to suck air in it comes from dry ...

The tapers are different in the rod ends, so you need to change the one at the steering box end.

I use a snake steering arm, so just ordered a GU end to replace the GQ one.

As the pivot on the passenger's side moves it will pull that side of the diff back toward the rear of the car, you would need to chop a lot more out of your guards to clear your tyres if they were already fairly close with your previous arms. Can you tell us how close the passenger front tyre comes ...

Zac my rego says 2050 stock ask Frank to look at rego for Jason's maybe see what that says?

I would get your batteries load tested, any sparky or battery place can do it for you in a couple of minutes, you may find one or both is getting a little unhealthy. The solenoids you use won't make any difference, they just let the current flow to the appropriate place. Other possibility is that ...

I put a set of Cals in mine as short side was ready to let go (after 4 years no breakages) and it's only a n/a dsl with 35s and lockers, before a month long trip in kimberley. I HOPE it's normal but they make a god awful raquet when turning, even say with hubs locked but xfer in 2wd, just slowly ...

Ah yeah should have thought of that... brain fade, thanks.

I don't think using the patrol unit would work, the resistances that tell the guage what to show are likely to be different. You would need to get the patrol guage, connect it to the wiring for the zook, hold guage fully up then fully down and see what it shows on dash. If it works, great. If not ...

OK in the lower thermostat housing there are TWO plugs... the Gregory's manual says the small one (toward the front) is the temp sender unit, so what is the larger one at the rear for????? I'm told the factory temp guage is notoriously innaccurate, only 3 or 4 degrees moves it from a quarter to ...

With all due respect, HOW THE F*&^ can it make any difference BEFORE the air cleaner, LET ALONE up at the snorkel inlet??? Any swirling of the air is surely cancelled out by flowing thru the air cleaner element, it is impossible to imagine otherwise. Some years ago I was gullible enough to put one ...

No difference in the rear (larger tank) but I'm pretty sure the front (small sub) tank is different. Someone else may be able to confirm that but I'm pretty sure it is the case.

A good idea also to make sure the brushes move nice and freely, tape them up and spray the motor with anti-fungal red oxide varnish. Make sure the motor drain is free, if not die grind it a little bigger, can't hurt. Make sure for that matter the drain hole is pointing down in your application ...

From my recollection they said the only one that was dry inside was the Warn XP9500, that has lip seals at both ends of the drum.

Good enough for me, couldn't see myself breaking them in my circumstance so count me in Rick I'll hear from you in due course.

Well I have a N/A TD42 and 35s and haven't even broken a stock nissan cv yet (in four years), and yep I play with it as hard as the next bloke over here (the Patrol that is), just a combination of careful and lucky. I also have a mate over here who has insane torque and he has Cal cvs and he is very ...
