from what i was told by the gooseneck shop near me the capacity for your car is

GVM minus TARE weight = fugure X

figure X plus your tow rating = gooseneck rating.


Also remember the more you load onto the tray on in the back of the tow car it reduces the towing capacity.


However you need to ...

No incorrect Jim!!

I have a ruler just not a straight draglink. Sorry if I offended anyone but I didnt think this was to much to ask

Glad you got what you were looking for. As Dave had said

You could just take yours off turn your wheels so they are straight then turn your steering wheel till ...

Quite possibly including yourself.

Merely mentioning that Roadsafe probably have an online catalogue. It will have the measurements listed with the parts.

Maybe Roadsafe suspension parts have an online catalogue??

PM Christover or I'm sure he'll chime in. He has done the two of the same CV mod to his heavy LWB.

Reset the ECU, turn ignition off, remove key. Disconnect battery negative terminal for a few minutes. Reconnect and you're done.

Code reading, download the manual for your vehicle off the net. Think I got it last time on Suzuki info.com

Is the dizzy shagged? any float in the main shaft?

Otherwise a vac leak is a huge possibility.

I'm running Zook diffs with Q78 swampers and flog the a$$ out of my car. It's a full floater rear with chromo's and double toughs in the front.

I've had cars with Hilux diffs, 60 series diffs, MQ diffs and stock zook diffs.

The built zook diffs have much more clearance than the others but do not ...

So that would look pretty much like the Mickey Thompson GU, only with more battle scars and rougher edges.

Have a 9" and am prepared to travel. Cutting cars is so theraputic.

I see no benefit it leaving the Vit` transfercase there and adapting the sierra case onto it. Just get rid the the Vit` case altogether, go from 4sp auto straight the sierra transfercase 6.4/1 TTs. Thats it. Imagine that ,4sp auto lever, Vitara transfercase lever, sierra twin stiks, then rear ...

We have two forklift bottles here with automotive style filling points on them. We hired them nearly two years ago and as far as the gas supplier is concerned they've never been empty.

Fibreglass when hit tends to explode, go the alloy sheet.

I'm running an enclosed pod filter housing (3")

Do you want to keep this style of snorkel head?
I could be wrong but if you do i'm thinking this will be a major air flow restriction point so not sure how much gain you'd see in performance with either style of snorkel?

Pod filter is going out at ...

Its a GQ with the TD42, it does get warm, not overheating but does get fairly warm with the front mount intercooler and AC both heating the air before it hits the radiator.

The GQ gauge is however known as not being entirely correct. The reason for the change is partially based on temp and aswell ...

I've bought a GQ Patrol with a 2" body lift installed. The installer thought it would be OK to just take the lower section off the fan shroud to allow for the extra height.

Long story short is that I want to either correct the height of the radiator or the shroud. The best solution is to drop the ...

Having had zooks with zook diffs, MQ diffs, 60 series and back to zook diffs I can speak from a little expirence on this.

Stock Zook diffs, driven very carefully with sensible size tyres can be fine. More pedal, larger tyres and you'll bust stuff at very inconvienient times. With chromo axles you ...

Yes, there's a little valve that threads into the manifold that the MAP sensor takes its vaccum from. When bypassed it ran fine. So as originally thought was a MAP problem, just not the sensor itself.

My JD bender has looked great in the corner of the shed, one day I'll get some time to use it.

A couple of mates have borrowed it and have been happy with its performance.

Cheers for the responses guys. Next question is snorkel head forward (much the same as Struth's) or bent facing backward over the roof?

Being turbo there shouldn't be much of a difference??

What are yours worth Struth? Can you build one to go into the same hole as the Airtec/Safari Snorkel?

How do they get on with water being sucked through? The Airtec/Safari units have a vent behind the scoop/head.

I'm in the process of making some changes to my GQ Patrol, namely the fixing of the booty fab intercooler piping the previous owner installed.

As part of this process I've been looking at my Airtec snorkel that was designed for a GQ non-turbo diesel. Since there's now a turbo running up to 17lb of ...

Grab yourself a compressor that comes with the musical air horns, lob it in your glovebox (theoretically a dry place). These are fairly high volume and low pressure.

I'm also waiting on a set of LTB's, production is to continue - as to when my supplier does not know.

Drive over guards are the way of the future. Keeps the weight that bit lower than having the deck above the wheels.

This trailer has had everything from Zooks through to Chev K20's, my 3t excavator and the old buggy.

Do you do a lot of city driving or even leaving the car running at idle often?

On a late model Chev/GMC we can command a manual regeneration with the Genuine Scan Tool. I'm sure if you went to a Ford dealer they would be able to do the same.
