What the hell ever happened to this once great forum???????

Johno

I have just bought a 1983 model of the above, its in wonderful condition, original paint 240K, going to need a few things like front drive shaft as the splines are worn, looks like the seals on swivel hubs might be gone, brake cylinders also.

If anyone is prepared to give me advise as what vehicles ...

Cheers mate, the fuel problem seems to be the down fall, not a big deal at the moment but it could jump again over night. I'll pass it up

Johno

I'm looking at a space cab petrol in this vehicle for a farm/wood truck etc. I am told they are very heavy on fuel.

Is it simple swap to drop the the 3 lt turbo diesel in, are engine mount locations etc in the same place.

Any help and adice would be appreciated

Johno

Just bought a 2008 Ford Ranger, failed RWC due to slight leak in the rear axle seal. Just starting to leak onto the shoes.
Can someone describe the removal of the axle please. From what I can see by searching, there is a C clip on the axle inside the diff housing. Not very good with computers, been ...

I wonder if there is anyone who knows a bit about the ford ranger 2010 vintage. If so could you look at Pickles Auctions, space cab at moonah in Tasmania
Got winch ARB bar, driving lights 38000ks, looks real good. But i'm an old GQ bloke and don't have a clue on these things. I can't post one of ...

Interesting that Jason never responded to the comments, very interesting indeed. I reckon that would make a lot of blokes very hesatant on coming on board

Johno

Now I am impressed with that, mate who did the one with the rear door that opens?
If for some reason you don't want to post it, please pm me.

Also the one with the ute back. Just bought a leaf spring model with rust in the front floor, but a good rear panel. Looks like that might be the way to ...

Some great pics there. Now could we see a run of pics like that for an extra cab, both style side and tray

Johno

Mate we have just done the same thing, its very time consuming sorting the rear window demister, wipers, door locks etc. Do yourself a big favor and just go and buy a wagon loom, you will be surprised at the problems you will hit. Little things like the loom that runs behind the air con panel, its ...

Not wishing to hi jack this. But I have just bought a leaf sprung 92 GQ, tray back. Have access to a wagon chasis, so I can grab the bits off that. Can I just cut off the bits needed from the diff housings or do I need to swap complete housing,

Also have to pay fella to do the job, can someone tell ...

Thnks fellas

Johno

Mate what was the best option for price on buying the frame?

Johno

How do I go about fixing these things. I know many say go for the single window, but with having a dog who goes everywhere with me, its good to be able to open it.

Is it just the internal suround that rusts? Appreciate any tips

Johno

Thanks mate, pretty well mad up mind on getting the duratrac.

If anyone here is south eastern Victoria and can offer a good cash deal, shoot me a pm

Johno

Mate are they better than most other ATs in the mud, they look to be a half way between a MT and AT. What sort of price did you get them for?

Just can't make up my mind between the Duratrac & the BFG KM2 MT.

I don't get out doing the hard stuff like you young blokes, but still manage to land in ...

Anyone used these or know of a mate using them. Be interested to know how they go, look to be somewhere between an AT & MT

Thanks
Johno

Fatty, pm to you mate

Johno

Ive just completed my 4.2 turbo diesel transplant into my RB-30. Nearly all complete now except for the air con drama

RB-30 hoses screw into compressor, where as the 4.2 diesel are held in by a bracket and centre bolt, no worries you say, just get a pair of diesel hoses from the wrecker.

Did that ...

Steve,

Thanks for the tips mate, I had a feeling the MQ would be a good fit.
PM inbound

Johno

Yaz, I am putting a 4.2 diesel into a 3lt patrol this weekend, I will have to change the engine mounts on the chasis & will be selling the 3 lt engine, gear box & diffs. Will also be selling a 97 ST 4.2 EFI on petrol/gas. It was going to be an extra cab build that never happened. You can have the ...

Ive got onto two half bubbles for $250.00 both with rust, one at Halls in Melb one at S.W. Qld wreckers.

Have decided to just hang on and buy a ute, mates really to busy and i'm not well enough or good enough.

Anyone interested in a real good 97 GQ wagon, 4.2 EFI petro l/ gas with a bit of gear ...

I could really do with some help here fellas. I am totally deaf but have been able to get my wife to ring a couple of wreckers. If anyone spots a full bubble back or early MQ with the flat back i'd appreciate a tip on it.

Anyone have an opinion which back panel would look best?

Thanks
John

If anyone knows of one or sees one when visiting wreckers can you shoot me a pm, reading to start my extra cab build and have decided this is the best way to go.

If anyone has gone this way with a build I would appreciate any tips

Thanks
Johno

Mate, I am fortunate. I have the lot, including the complete loom, dash etc.
Just had someone ring a few wreckers, around $100.00 for chasis mount for both. Thought I woul get a pair cheaper off a bent chasis but no luck. I am told the 4.2 petrol is the same mount???????? Also I guess the 4 bolt and ...

Fellas I will be pulling motor, gear box & diffs within the next month.
I am thinking $600.00, for the complete motor, all electrics and gas, certified 12 months ago, also includes the gear box which is in top condition. I reckon $500.00 for both front & rear diffs. If anyone wants to have a drive ...

Would anyone have a wrecked chasis, or the mounts laying around. Wanting the two mounts that are welded to the chasis. Getting reading to pull the 3lt engine and drop the turbo diesel in.

Thanks
John

Steve, Thanks for the info mate, was going to give you a call anyway. On our next trip to Melbourne i'll call in and you can have a run in the truck. If your interested we can have a talk

Cheers
John

Come on fellas, surely someone must have seen one sold lately.

Cheers
Johno

As in my previous thread going to put the 4.2 diesel motor in my GQ that had a the 3lt petrol. I know the chasis mounts for the engine mounts are in a different location. But are the mounts themselves different, IE do I need to find a pair of a diesel chasis? If so if anyone has a pair drop me a pm ...
