Re: Securing Synthetic Rope to Drum.

Just weave a loop into the end like you do on the hook side and use stick on sand paper on the drum. You can then roll the whole lot out and it will not spin norwill it ever run of. :armsup:

I fitted one to my GU. I went from GU auto 4.5 petrol to GQ manuel 4.2 Diesel and I had no issues. Yes the GQ and GU box have different top hats and I have heard of people trying to do the swap with no luck. I can take a photo if that helps. ;-) :D ;)

In the Dump pipe. 900 :shock: It all comes down to what pistons the motors are running. I read to make the vehicles more efficient they have purposly run EGT hotter but they also redesigned the pistons to take the increase in temps.
