Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Mine did it after travelling thru the Centre, Kimberley, Pilbara recently.
I hit the switch with some lubricant and its all sweet now.

Ive just installed a egt guage on my 4.2d with an aftermarket turbo and runs 16psi. On the highway the egt sits between 250-300 depending on hills etc, when ive been doing hill climbs and stuffing around it gets up towards the 500 mark when making it work is this an average sort of temp to expect ...

I thought I would give it a go, (couldn't be that difficult) 1. Disconnect the water sensor wire. 2. Using Oil filter removing tool undo filter. 3. When removed, unscrew bottom plastic fitting. 4. Replace O ring seal (supplied with new filter) and clean if required. 5. Run film of oil around rubber ...

Without involving meself in a bunfight....I use J-MAX and am totally satisfied with it.

(I slipped over to HPR15 for a while but as I could get J-MAX at a better price, I went back!! )

Hey, easy question: In regard to the fuel govener screw on the injector pump, by adjusting in which direction it does what????? Anti-clockwise - Increase fuel?? Clockwise - Decrease fuel?? Anyone given it a tweak to increase the fuel delivery?? How much of a turn did you give it? Cheers, Pete. Hey ...

WTF?

I second Grimbo's and Tweak'e's remarks....

Logic's a fine thing Linc, but then we're 4WDers !!

10seclux, you got one of those manual boost controllers off eBay??
If so, sure you ain't got it connected back to front??

Coventrys -price is good and they always have what ya want!!

What does AXT recommend??

VDO Part No. for the black faced "Vision series" version is 310.159.

I bought mine on eBay from Denco for around $270 - comes complete with gauge, thermocouple, weld boss (if you need it) and 5m of compensating cable.

Do it yerself!! Get a hairdryer or heatgun and run it over the decal ( carefully! ;) ) until one end sticks up slightly. Then get some dental floss or light fishing line and drag it with both hands underneath the decal till it's off. You'll probly end up with goop (the stuff the decal got stuck on ...

...well I guess nobody here uses one. Either that, or they don't want to offer up experiences......

OK, this thing has come up in discussion in a few other areas on OL, but.... is there anyone with a TD42 or TD42T that's fitted one? If so, can you give us a rundown on how it performs i.e. is it worth the bux, does it install easily, does it provide the extra you expected etc. etc.??? Lookin' for ...

4by, the box in your GU is derived from trucks so it's not a smoothy by any stretch...but you probly know that! :P At 145 thou I wouldn't expect your synchros to be shot, and these boxes are as tuff as. But it's possible... Is the Syntrans stuff recommended by Castrol? FWIW I use Penrite oils in the ...

the MTQ one is cast like the OE one, I think all the others are fabricated. IIRC, the MTQ one is $220, and a complete system $660. the Landy is friggin loud with the 3" system sans muffler, so the missus has demanded a muffler when I fab up the system for her Patrol. :cry: Does the MTQ dump have a ...

Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what the thread specs are on the weld boss fitted as std to the Beaudesert Exhaust 3" dump pipe?

What compression fitting do I need to fit a thermocouple to it... a 1/8" BSPT, 1/4" BSPT, 1/4" NPT...or something else?

This may have been discussed before, but it seems that only Penrite recommends the same oil for gearbox and xfer case, which is Manual Gear Oil 80 (covers 75-W90 APIO-GL4 gear oil specs). Nissan recommendation is for a Dexron III type oil or equivalent. OK all you TD42(T, Ti) punters...what do you ...

'bout the same as a pair of my Aunty's knickers + a bit more!!

AGIP has been around for years as gu4800 said...dunno if they do oils specifically for diesel (if that's wot you've got) but I'd reckon there's a fair chance seein' as it's Italian based stuff. Prolly half the vehicles in Italy run on diesel, like Europe in general.

Spannercrustacean has got it right!! :lol: Having said that.....Look, stop sweatin' abt an EGT either before or after the snail...the cheapest (but not necessarily the nastiest) option is to plug it in after the turbo...most aftermarket exhaust guys provide a blanking plug in the dump pipe. Check ...

Don't get too antsy about this issue guys...just because your oil light don't go out for x, y or z seconds doesn't necessarily mean your donk ain't getting its drink of oil in an appropriate way!!

Sometimes I think we get a little too anal about our trucks (me included)!!

Don't throw yer money away ...use it on things you could better spend it on and DIY as per GU4800's post above. I went the DIY road as per the above URL and couldn't be happier...no probs, works faultlessly, even after a fair amount of rough/corrugated travel.

Hmmm...interesting.

I use the OEM 15208-43G00 filters on my '02 TD42T (thanks Roly! ) and before I changed oil to J-MAX used to wait 6-10 secs for oil light to go out. Now, abt 1-2 secs max...go figure!
