Outer Limits 4x4 Board

It might change the noise out the back if you change it all. Probably sound like a louder tractor

The only way to get a B motor to sound good is probably to replace it with a v8. It's an old 4 cyl diesel. What were you expecting?

Hi all, i need a new rear diff housing for my BJ42 and am having trouble finding one. Can get a 70 series easy enough. I know there not exactly the same but what exactly is different? What do i have to change/modify?

Cheers Adam

Ummm i think it's user error, you should be moving when you try to change between 2 & 4wd.(not hi to low) and don't use the clutch, just back off the accelerater and shift when there is little or no load on the transfer. It would probably help if both hubs were locked in. You only tried to engage ...

Hey DRS, would that be subtle hint in your sig?

I believe older 40's just used an extra low 1st gear, instead of a transfer box.

Another vote for Total Traction Drivelines. Great work if a bit $$.

All the 40 series and i think some of the 70's had a fold down windscreen. Is this what your talking about?

This will only work if you have lockers, preferably front and rear for maximum effect.

What about Silverstone mt extremes? not sure on availability/sizes.

I use one of these (or a very similar model). on my 3B with a turbo. does a great job. filters last for ages and i've never seen any dust on the outlet side of things. They do take up a fair bit of room though.

Yeah, TruckBits down here (just out of Dandenong), are a fair bit cheaper than $90.

Rebuilt my cruiser box and transfer. Did a great job.

40's should be self parking. Mine was.

3B's love a turbo, something to do with piston skirt cooling.

Another theory! Is the turbo heating/thinning oil more than than the engine would when n/a ?
Could a different oil pressure switch fix this?

Mine used to go backwards to glo as well. Now has press button (much better).

Mine did/does exactly the same thing BJ. I now run my engine at a fast idle when off road or the engines hot.
This stops (or seems to stop)the oil pressure dropping so low and shutting down the engine. Also a heavier oil in summer helps.

Hey i think this might be a Toyota "factory option". My Bj42 has the same problem, I extended my crankcase breather pipe into the rails and the hot/oily air seemed to help break up the mud, sand and crap. Enough at least to get most out anyway.

Hey all, I've got a 3B and turbo in my bj42 and to be honest i wouldn't drive any diesel without a turbo. My "new" engine cost less than $800 had done 320,000+ kms .My daily driver for months with out any problems. One of the few parts of my truck not worn out or leaking :?



Cheapest option ...

X2 Turbo 3b

Dont need no electric's to run.
Dont need no fancy glow start system (12volts and glow plugs is all you need)
Dont need no edic, just an old choke cable.

If ya dont need no space for camping gear, esky, or almost anything else then go for gas.

Do need a bit more time to get anyware ...

thats a lot of changing stuff over. Think i'll try to talk him into keeping 24v. Seems like an awful lot of work for limited returns.

thanks for the replies.

Maybe grinding for suggesting wiring.

Great thanks. Might end up doing the same thing soon.

Asking for a mate, also asked in auto elec.

Whats involved in converting an MQ/MK 24volt diesel into 12 volt?

He has two trucks one is 12v and other is 24v. so should have all necessary parts (starter, alternator etc). How big a job is it?

Cheers Adam

Hey all, quick question for a mate.

Tried the dessicants (sp?) that are supposed to go in bathrooms and the like?

Where is the vote for "other " ?

I've got a Roberts diff lock. Its an air operated locker like ARB, only older.
I read that it might be the predeccesor (sp?) of ARB. Looks old as but works great

Hey guys.
Yeah just had similar problems when i changed over engines. Didn't really fix it(yet) just removed the connecting rod and put in a choke style cable to shut down the motor/shut off fuel. Has the added bonus of being an immobiliser
