Sorry not sure on the measurements but the IFS trucks seem to sit lowrt in the front. Does it have any extra's which may add to the nose dive? The only extra on the front is a standard ARB bull bar with 1 set of driving lights, no winch or PTO or any other heavy device. Sorry IFS ? Got it IFS I had ...

Thanks Brentz, but after having a really good look over mine on the hoist yesterday I've decided to pull the engine and throw another one in. Cheers Hulsty! Now, 2 more questiosn for everyone: From a very superficial look at where the bell housing bolts up to the engine, it would appear I have to ...

Does any one know the standard height from the center of the hubs to the bottom of the wheel arch front and rear, I would think the measurement would be from the ...

Hmm. I would expect it to be more random than that. It could be something drawing alot of current for that 56 seconds which is increasing the load on the altenator and thus making the fan belt slip. But i cant think of what. The first thing that jumps to mind is glow plugs, but if its a HDJ100 it ...

Re: 100 series Voltage on start up

The low voltage will be because the al;tenator is not spinning (fan belt slipping). So i would suggest there are bearings in the altenator failing. Pull the fan belt off and spoin the altenator by hand. Quite often when a water pump is failing the belt squeels at start and then goes away. one day ...

100 series Voltage on start up

I have a 2006 HDJ100 and when I strt the Cruiser I noticed that the voltage meter is sitting at around 12V then after 56 seconds ( I timed it on a few occasions) the voltage increases to the approx 14V, I am getting a belt slip noise on start up but that clears imediatly when the volts go to approx ...
