Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Bit the bullet and bought the cat 175 battery yesterday. Tried to install it last night but with the normal battery style lugs on top it doesn't quite fit under the bonnet little bit of lugging and a 10mm nylock and should be good. Turns the motor over extremely easily now. Just hope it stands up to ...

Can't knock them on price or warranty. Now I just hope I can't get there before the weekend. Need to get it running and do a few things before a trip to crescent head at the end of november

Just spoke to the cat dealer in unnandera and they priced the 175 battery for $144 +. And the 115 battery was $212+

Good price and they have them in stock

Thanks for the info. There is a cat dealer in unnandera and I'm working in the are so I will have to stop past and have a chat about the model numbers you guys have said and see what they can do. I'm thinking that for the warranty they offer they must have fairly high confidence in their product ...

Feel free to go through the cat reference guide like i already have and tell me which battery is 1000cca and would suit a 4runner. Maybe I was a bit harsh to start with but it gets old reading a post where Someone says what is best, when everyone has different requirements. Everyone had there own ...

I'm in southern Sydney. I'm pretty sure there is a dealer down near Wollongong but not 100%. Will measure what size my battery is tomorrow

Thanks for the info

Excuse my lack of knowledge oh knowledgeable one. And explain why I should listen to your opinion over anyone else's. did look up cat batteries but had no idea which battery was the correct one that was 1000cca nor where to buy it from. Or if it would even fit in the space available in my engine bay ...

Hi all. Looking for a new main battery that is going to stand up to everything that gets thrown at it. After looking through old pages I'm guessing around 800-900 cca would be sufficient but unsure where to look to get one for a good price or brands that I should look at/steer clear of. It's for a 2 ...

Found the problem. The belt was slightly looser that it should be and was causing the slip while wet

Thanks for the advice though

I opened the resivour lid while the engine was running and I could see that there was still fluid flowing. If it was slipping would I still see that happening?

after some steering help please. 91 4runner standard power steering (i think) that is tough to turn after the front end is wet. it doesn't do it when the steering get wet due to rain only when gernieing or going though big puddles that come over the wheels. after having a look at the power steering ...

I did mark the side of the injection pump before I removed it but think I may not have it dead on the mark again. Would rotating the pump only make small adjustments or could this be an issue aswell Is there a minimum amperage reccomended for a dual battery system used for internal jump start ...

X2 mine are in the same location

When I have tried to start the car in the past the battery always drops to under 12v. Could this mean that the battery is not big enough for the strain of starting a diesel or is this normal?

Yeah they were rhino racks. They reccomended the 1.8 m length tracks but I got the 2.1m ones so I could have the option of mounting a light bar or a few sportiest on a small rack at the front.

They are meant to sit just on the inside of the small channel on your roof

Mark

I put roof racks on mine. Drilled and riveted. If you do install them make sure you use the blind rivets that sealed at the bottom or they will leak. I got caught out by this. And plenty or silicone as you can easily rub of any extra after it drys

Tell him to go to an electrical wholesaler they have a small tool(can't remember it's name) which you tighten onto the cable then swing it around the cable and a little blade in the middle slowly cuts through the insulation. at the wholesaler I use they are about $20

Before I removed the timing belt and injection pump it was the dead battery from lack of use so I think the betters may have been on its way out already. But after I put everything back together it just doesn't want to idle so I'm leaning more towards the timing being out and that is also causing ...

2.8l diesel 4runner

I havent run the engine for a while and it has gone dead so I am assuming it has a drain somewhere. Could even be the alarm. But the main reason being that I had to take the fuel pump off to take out a welch plug and now even after it has charged on the battery charger I don't get long of cranking ...

Just wondering if it is a bad idea to try to charge the battery with all the terminals connected to the car still? And could a battery charger be used to aid in jump starting the engine?

Mark

I have everything back together now but the 4by won't start on its own only with the aid of a jumper car and is blowing a lot of black smoke when it does start. Can anyone help please. I did have take the timing belt off to replace the plug on the front passenger side of the head so I am thinking ...

It's not being lazy. I don't have the time, knowledge or space to take the engine out and put it on a bench and work on in so I am making do with what I have.

Ended up adding some heat to the nut and that free'd it up and have it almost back together now.

In the process of changing the welch plugs but I'm having issues getting the furl pump out. I have taken the timing cover and belt off but can't loosen the cog that is in the timing housing from the actual pump

Any help on getting this off would be great right now

The problem could be as simple as the grounding of the base of the antenna to the bullbar. Undo the ariel and rub the paint off where the base is to allow better contact and this may help

This can happen due to factory powder coat or paint in the mounting plate for the Ariel

Am I correct in thinking the 2-LTE is the water cooled Version ??

Also which turbo am I better off to fit the water cooled or would the oil cooled suffice

Cheers mark

Was more than likely going to replace the ones on each side. But the one at the back sounds like a bit of a task. I'm also looking at introducing a turbo to the engine soon so was thinking of replacing all radiator hoses aswell as injectors and glow plugs. Is this a good idea or should I just leave ...

Is it worth replacing all the welsh plugs while I have the injection pump off to replace the rusted one?

Also is there any other maintenance that I should think of in that area now that I am going to have parts removed?

Mark

Thanks jcas. There was an answer posted before the site dropped out for a bit. And I haven't filled it since I bought it last July apart from topping up the coolant bottle with coolant

So my birthday is coming up and have been wondering what I should get from the missus and decided that as I want to start to do more work to the 4runner I should try to do it myself and would need the manual My question to the people in the know out there is what is the most understandable ...
