Thanks

Brendon

oh...you need to press that peddle that's on the left in to select gears???



I was wondering what that did......

Thanks for the replies guy's....

I have just tried again and I'm f@cked if I can get it up. I sat between the seats and if I pulled any harder I reckon I would pop a nut!!

Is the stick able to be lubed from inside the vehicle?

My father recently had to replace the speedo cable and said the ...

Hi Guys,

My father has recently got an 80 series and we cant get it into low range. Is there some special way this has to be done?

I engaged the hubs and have used it in H4 but cant get Low. Do you pull it up when in H4? It is quite solid and there is no upward movement at all. On the stick it has ...

hey guys,

well the convertor is definatly getting hot....before i left work a mate opened one of the water lines as he said his had a block and that would let the air out...

this was done with the motor going.....water came straight out so he thought it probably wasnt that....and the convertor was ...

thanks for the replys....

if it was freezing up......wouldnt this be worse in the morning when the motor is cold????

cheers....brendon

Hi Guys,

I have a 351 with a duel fuel set-up. Its an older system similar to an impco set-up.

it has suddenly started running roughly...in the morning when its cold I can complete the 25min drive to work no worries....

on the way home as soon as the motor gets warm(bout 10-15mins) the motor ...

I have the origional 40series pwr steer on mine but its on a 351 cleveland...

does it have to be origional?? you just need to run the hoses down onto the chassis out of the way...I just cable tied mine in and its been there for 4 years without a prob..

hope that helps...if not just ignore all of ...

your daughter will want a decent set of arms on her if it hasn't got power steering.....

not too bad once your going, but at slow speeds you certainly know your steering an old truck

unless you keep a set of skinnies on it.....or you could always do a conversion.

cheers....b

I have a 40 series with quite stiff springs. I have the old 5way adjustables and I think their great. I had pedders before that and the ranchoes are 100% on them.

I've had them about 3yrs and the only thing is they have surface rust around the welds on the eyes. I think this was only due to poor ...

Hey Vramm,

how are you mate? I had read a few story's in 4x4monthly awhile ago about 40's and it had ekky's number in it. I just rang him up and he told me about it.

gives 1" movement rear. I also got some parts off a guy last year and he had the 75's springs on the front and it gave an inch ...

ohhhh...silly me

that makes more sense

cheers...

It was the fact that you have a weak point where the old holes were....they said there was a chance of the springs cracking there....I know lots of people do this mod but if a couple of spring shops tell me its suss thats good enough for me...

also have to be careful over in WA as the cops are tuff ...

thanks for the info....didnt think it would go, but I wonder with the body lift and having the tank right back if it will go...

yeah I know about the other probs you mentioned....

I will be putting 75series front springs on the front( mines an 83) which gives about an inch I think.(also 60's pwr ...

hey guys,

just wondering if anyones done the above swap with a gas tank under the rear??

looks like it would be a tight fit on mine...I realise that the shocks would need to be moved to the front.

I will also be doing a 2" body lift.

really chasing an answer from someone who is running this ...

Thanks for clearing that up Wally....

Cheers mate, Brendon

I'm getting a powertrax no-slip

Dont see how a photo will help as its a standard 40 series full floating diff...

thanks...brendon

you can just get yourself a first stage regulator to fit the scuba tank. you would be able to pick one up cheep out of the trading post.

It should come with a hose, but they all have a few ports on them for different stuff(ie dive reg/guages).

I use this set up with a hose and a tyre connector ...

Need some help on working out the exact size of my rear diff as I'm getting a locker from the states.

fj40 full floating..has 10 bolts on the housing. 30 spline.

I can;t check the ID plate as its not the original diff...

Have been told its 8.8" but just want to verify...

websites I have ...

I have had a shorty for quite some time....They are great for all the above reasons.....BUT....If you want to go camping of the beaten track for more than a weekend then they are tight for space.....

Mainly for fuel and water....But if you will be near towns it isn't so bad as you can go re-fuel ...

I have a seat out of a mitsi L300....will be off a fairly old one as Ive had it for 10 years

It folds down then stands up behind front seats. cheap as at the wreckers...

Hey Guys,

I want to open up the clamps of my leaf springs on my 40....

I have a full spring pack at the mo..

On the rear: can the clamps on both sides of the centre bolt be opened without introducing axel wrap. the leafs are quite stiff... but I have a 351...

On the front: will opening ...

Hey Dave....

unfortunately I only have the ducting from my origional heater, but I did see another set-up from the states, and they just had silver foil ducting so it didn't take up so much space....

Thanks....Brendon

Thanks for that Sam.....

The unit you have is the same as the one I picked up, and the only bit I need to get is the drier.

Cheers!! Brendon

Hey Sam,

photos of inside the cab would be great... I have a 351clevo, so will be using a ford pump. Just unsure of the cowlings/plumbing that I may need to pick up to still be able to use my heater...

Thanks mate...Brendon

Well it looks like all I need is the receiver/drier.....

Brian...do you have a photo setup at all???

Hey Sam, yeah it has the ND nippon stamps.....any chance of a couple of photos of your setup???

Thanks guys

hey guys... I've just picked up an aircon unit(supposed to be factory) and it goes in place of the cowl that goes from fan to heater...

how do you get the heater to work??? is it supposed to work off the aircon unit?? or is it a throw away??

looking at the aircon unit it seems that the 2 side ...

are'nt the rattles the real reason why we all bought 40's in the first place???? Just turn up the stereo.......

Mine has a drop down tailgate which is good to use as a bench/seat, but it's also a pain when your loading/gettin stuff out of the back, as it's a long stretch. When I rebuild mine it's gettin a swing out...for sure...but you can use chain as a stopper, with plastic tube over it to stop rattles ...
