Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day all

I'm trying to do the EL Falcon alternator upgrade to my Sierra and I can't for the life of me get the pulleys off either the falcon alternator nor the sierra one, is there a secret that I dont know about to get these things off?

Cheers for any advice

Does anyone know if a NT ARB Bullbar will fit a WT Sierra? has anyone done this? what is involved in modifying the bar?

G'day all, My sierra's gearbox is playing up, It clunks into first second and third and if I stop in neutral it's almost impossible to get back into first. The clutch seems fine doesnt stall or lag so is this a sign that the gearbox is dying or that the clutch is dying? any info is greatly apreciated

I had a mechanic look at it and he said it was the pinion bearing but it would have probably damaged the gears and therefore need to replace the lot, what would be involved in removing the pinion bits to swap them? I don't think I'd bother swapping parts as I'd probably end up with 2 shit diffs ...

Quick add, what diff ratios would my rig be? anyone got a spare center lying around?

G'Day all,

Quick question about my diffs, my rear diff is stuffed and I have no money :( can I swap the front and rear centers as a cheap (FREE) fix for now? what are the differences in each end? Mines an 88 Build Suzuki Sierra 1.3 WT Hardtop.


Thanks for any info

Ha Ha, you get 80k's before it says half a tank! mine is usually about 50, I've had it drop to half as low as 12k's from filling up. I too get 250k's to a 34L tank, brings up some questions about the little 1.3 but it's good to hear I'm not the only one with these issues.+ I use the Tectaloy coolant ...

Is a 1ltr tranny a better option? how does a 1ltr trans go on the highway? I currently have 30's

I was quoted $365 from bearing wholesales in Bayswater, for the complete kit to re build the transfer case myself. Does this sound right or are there cheaper options?

does anyone have a good tranny lying around?

how hard is it to DIY a tranny?

Thanks Guys, Just ran with the Tcase in Neutral, Good Idea that, theres a definate marbles rolling around kind of noise. I've narrowed it down to output of gearbox or input to Tcase. The noise is coming from that area and it is output speed related rather than input rev related. I'm pretty sure it's ...

Ok, the noise starts at about 60kph and contiues to get louder/higher pitch as speed increases. It goes away when clutch pedal is depressed (clutch disengaged??) then comes back as soon as pedal is released. (same pitch in any gear, pitch is relevant to speed. revs also have no effect) Can anyone ...

G'Day, Just wondering if anyone can inspire me with some pics of zooks running bonnet scoops. Forward & Rear facing ones and vents. mainly just to give the heat somewhere to go. Nothing special under my bonnet, going for the true Ricer look Also any shots of sierras with rear bonnet lifts, (or ...

Unlike our laws, In the USA guards only need to cover the inner wall of the tyre, ie, you could have say a 12.5 inch muddy and have 10+ inches of it hanging out, this makes for some awesome rigs ...

Hey all Is there any special technique to removing the half shafts from the rear diff? the bearings have collapesed and seal chewed out. I have removed the wheel & brake drum Undone the Brake backing plate, brake lines and hand brake How do I get the shaft out? it's all sloppy but I cant slide it ...

No shroud at the moment, it was about 38 today and it was about 2/3, pointing at the top of the little picture on a 1.3 temp guage.

Anyone tryed vents or scoops or anything? does it really affect the temp on a motor?

Hey all, My little zook isnt enjoying this hot weather and I was thinking thermo fan(s) mounted between the radiator and front grille, also thinking of cutting some vents into the bonnet to help with a bit of flow through. Has anyone else done this and a) does it work? and b) is it worth it? I have ...

Be sure to check your Brake Master Cylinder is Full, I did the same thing during a brain fart last week, Handbrake doesnt work in the first place so when the light wouldnt turn off I just assumed it was telling me my handbrake didnt work or I broke a wire or something. I drove for a week till I ...

Thanks for the info guys.

Just want to know if Power Steering Fluid is really the same as brake fluid?

Thanks

What if you take the flares off and put a spacer with moulding or filler to move them out a bit? I havnt done this or anything, just an idea, has the potential to look really good or really gay.

How much was the fine? how far out do your tyres stick? should I expect to be pulled over soon?

I have a buyer for my 4 runner towbar just wondering what is the best/cheapest form of postage to get from Melbourne upto NSW

Any info would be great

Thanks

100km/h???

yours must be supercharged!

Thought people on here had a sense of humor???

I was kidding about dumping them in the street. The tyres came off a troopy to put on muddies, they're Road Grippers so by definition they are crap thought i'd offer them could get someone out of trouble if they got baldies

Hey,

I've got a set of Dunlop Road Grippers, they're still good for another 7000K's if anyone wants em, other wise I'm told it's like 15 bucks to dump them at the tip. Does anyone know where toget rid of them free? otherwise they're going to the vacant block up the street at 3am

G'Day,

(before I get shouted at, there are no pictures on any search)

Just wondering if anyones toyed with the idea of a larger capacity fuel tank for a wide track hard top? or if there's tanks from other cars that could fit in? I've got a 2' body lift as well.

Thanks

G'Day All I know there's a heap of posts regarding the crank seal leak, I assume thats the oil leak from my G13A, Was wondering if anyone knows aproximately how much it will cost to get these Seals and the Timing chain replaced, And if anyone can suggest a good (and Cheap) mechanic in Melbourne ...

G'Day all I've been driving my little G13A round the alps in Victoria and I was just wondering what the temperature guage is telling me. When it rests just above cold (normal operation) what is this in celcius? It moves to a bit under half during long uphill climbs. I would never let it, but how hot ...

G'day,

I know theres a spot for this but I dont think anyone really looks there. I'm after a set of snow chains to suit 215/75/15" anyone got some lying around that they dont want?

I'm in melbourne
