Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Inside the firing chamber you mean? I hope it's not being steam cleaned

if that works ill go buy a new thicker earth lead. Why? It worked up until now. It's very unlikely that the earth lead is actually damaged. Most likely just some corrosion limiting the amount of current able to pass. Pull off the earth at all points, rub back the lugs and where the lugs bolt down ...

Yep. When you're turing to crank the starter/solenoid drains all the smoothing caps in your electronics and then your lights go out. The lights then come back on after the caps charge again. You're not getting enough current from the battery - my first stop would be earth lead, then fusible link.

remove cage then lay a small weld along the race ... give it a wack and done the heat from the small weld will be enough to release the inner race I've employed this on wheel bearings too lately - Just run a bead around the race with the stick welder and lay the part down, 90% of the time the ...

You don't happen to wear a flat brimmed "unit" or "monster energy" cap do you?

Just swap the whole diff/axle?

Based on all the information you've given us, we'll assume you're using a widebody camry V6.

just a boost gauge will be fine. A boost and vacuum gauge is not required on a diesel as it does not produce a vacuum due to not having a butterfly valve.

(I THINK??)

That's right...well, it won't produce enough to tell you anything...

Hey Guys, I bought a new winch cable/rope to replace my damaged steel cable on my XD9000. Got a 28m Dynema rope. It has a black protector over the rope. Is that protector supposed to go on the winch anchoring end to protect from the drum and heat OR on the hook/splice end for abraision and UV ...

Thoughts? Use a drop saw.

As stated the ancillaries will need to be changed but the core engine will go in. However the difference will then be about zero unless your old engines cactus. Without the HDEG electronics really the change is mostly in name only. Hope it turns out well. Slight increase in compression (most likely ...

Just pop the clutch part way while holding pressure on the gear shift towards reverse. This will allow the teeth to mesh and it should pop in.

There is no 'gear linkage' per se in the feroza as it's straight through the floor into the box AFAIK.

do a bit of googling. The matting type stuff that you glue on isn't too dear, and then there's heaps of different spray on stuff with varrying price ranges and effectiveness. Or at least there was when I looked into it. Never did bother with it though. Your best bet would be some aluminium backed ...

Thank you for your feedback. . i am having a little trouble finding an ecu and loom to suit (motor did not come with one) i respect what mighty mouse has done with ferozas and the internet seems to have lots of conflicting info i would like ro know if i drop this engine in can i use my ecu and loom ...

Compression? Could be rings...

That won't stop the engine from being turned over by hand...

yea but how do i turn the flex plate to get to the top torque converter bolts? If worse comes to worse, you'll have to remove all the bellhousing bolts and rotate the gearbox around. On that note, try supporting the gearbox, unbolting it and sliding it back enough to clear the dowels and then try ...

You notice nothing. Was still holding front up like normal. It was picked up during routine servicing. But if a macpherson strut breaks, how does the wheel stay oriented in the correct direction? The MacPherson strut is a type of car suspension system which uses the axis of a telescopic damper as ...

SIMMO84 wrote:Shock breaks, shock goes through boot, CV fills with dirt/ mud, CV fails. Hard to believe but they don't make a noise when there broken on a hilux ( macpherson strut )

If you break a MacPherson strut, somehow I think the lack of wheel location would be a bit of a giveaway

Or he's just saying don't because if he says do he's liable for any possible injury...

As I said - they are the SAME engine. Yes, it will 'run' on your ECU. All the ancillaries bolt on/off.

WOFTAM.

Just do the Applause engine or rebuild whats there, sort our the head and get a cam from tighe. The Detom has slightly more compression, but is also set up to rev higher.

To answer your original question, all the ancillaries will bolt on/off between the two.

Bloody admins

how low psi should i get worried at, its a brand new engine so i realy realy dnt wna . it. If it'e brand new it's probably got a little fuel in the oil from the initial bedding in as it would have had poor ring seal.... Wether there is enough fuel to make an actual noticeable difference is another ...

Yes, but I'm pretty sure it also increases the size of the original part.

howya goin, been doing some research in heat treating cv's and axles but it is a bit of a grey area. i want to run 35's on my hilux but dont want to break cv's every trip out the bush.i have seen 35's on hiluxs so they must be able to stand up to the task as long as your not pushing them to hard im ...

A bit of lateral thinking would place 2 CVT mirrored over each "axle" (not quite accurate, but to give location), 1 CVT per wheel. Both CVT's could track each other for the gross movement of ratios and you could tweak the individual ratios for a differential type effect.. Doing this for all 4 ...

"Awesome work" would be them not saying a thing because they've shut up shop in Australia and washing their hands of it.

Go and see your nearest toyota and ask if yours is affected by the issue and stop being a sook.
