Outer Limits 4x4 Board

1HDT.........4.2L Factory Turbo Diesel, 5" lift, 305's (33's), 3" Exhaust, pump tweaked, driven normally, around 11.8-12L/100k. Giving it a bit of a hard time 13L/100k Goes awsome and economical for a truck of its size!

Same...!!

Just drove my 1990 80 series from Melbourne to QLD
1HDT - 260 ...

mine was doing the same about a year ago. took it off, threw it across the street, put it back on and no problems since

Hmmm...what to do..

Thinking of getting rid of it and keeping the 4wd family to my 80. Everything else works well though...Hmm

Thanks fellas, will do some muckin around with it tomorrow..

Cheers....

Yeah thats what I thought but a mechanic I spoke too wants to open up the diff...

It sounds the same as when I destroyed a wheel bearing on my old trusty bj42..

Hmmm...

Gday fellas

My main rig is a turbo diesel 80 however..

The Bundy has developed quite a loud consistent rumbling sound when driving, irrespective of speed/gear and or acceleration and deceleration.
It also has an occasional louder noise, like a loose mudflap hitting the tyre (Its not but thats ...

Just back from a trip up the coast in the Bundy...Myself and the missus, fully loaded with camping gear and booze :P . Did Melbourne-Batemans Bay and some track driving and all that with camping at a few spots along the way...sat on 100kms on the highway with the aircon on...

1724 kms driven : 187 ...

Hmmm....Having been the proud new owner of a 22r Bundy (well the girlfriend is so that sorta makes it half mine :lol: ) to complement my existing 80 series, have just gone through the first tank of juice. Doing only city driving, very rarely gone above 80 and LOTS of stop start driving with the air ...

Any more updates on this rig...???

The new Bundy is going well, the girl loves it (keeps her happy ) and think she would really like some aftermarket accessories for Xmas..

Just wondering if anyone else here has had a look at the Middy..??

Dogbreath..that was me who had a look at it yesterday.... :cool: I thought it to be a fairly honest rig. The guy who was selling it said he would need to go to the garage to get a shifter to open the oil filler cap so I reckon you probably picked something up there and he didnt want me to know..!! I ...

Thats definately what it is. My 3b did just that....very very fiddly job, took me and a mate a full case of xxxx......!!!

Thanks guys. Traction4 sorted me out with an OME setup today...

Best prices and kits..?

Gday all...need to get about a 2" kit done by someone around Sydney, can anyone point me in the right direction..? Ive killed the back shocks last trip...!!

I had an 83 model 40 series with the 3b for about 4 years. Drove it hard, meticulous with the oil changes every 5k and had NO problems with the engine whatsoever. Only problem was the rear diff but that was driver induced attempting to wheelspin in 2wd in the mud..For about 5 minutes. They are one ...

Yeah the big ends were done before I bought it, Toyota had the records. Keeping my fingers crossed on a valve problem..Its just running way too well these days..!!

Gday all..just got my rig back from the doctors today. The compression and cylinders were as follows (1) 500 (2) 450 (3) 440 (4) 280.. (5) 450 (6) 500...

As Im aware, looking through the books they are meant to be around 490 and a difference of +/- 70 as "normal" . Its done 205,000kms and in the ...

I thought all BJ42s had power steering..?

Not the GXL...??

I hate to say it but my driving habits didnt change at all. On my car with my driving it worked, simple as that... For some other vehicles it may not work as well but for an old diesel which needs some help, it worked...

guys I had one on my cruiser and it worked..Naturally aspirated diesel went from 13/100k to about 11.5/100k... Dont think it would work on anything turbocharged but I think it depends on the rig...just my thoughts...cheers...Dave

Just thought Id say a quick gday to everyone as Im new to the forum. My rig is posted on the members pages, Ive seen quite a few of you guys out and about around Sydney. Cheers..Dave
