Outer Limits 4x4 Board

4.88 ratios arent they in the MQ/MK range ??? 4.88 are a standard fitment in the utes But only for the H260 style diff I m not sure about that but the Spirit came out with the H230 31 spline front and HD 233b 33 spline rear ,in either a 4.6 or 4.8 option .Have gone with 4.6 now should of done it ...

There a Safari/Patrol that came out with a 2.8 mtr,the turbo model has 4.6 diffs and non turbo 4.8 diffs,reas common over here in NZ ,Body wise the same as normal Safari/Patrol smaller running gear apart from the diffs .Cheers

Has anyone on here tried running the 4.8 diff gears out of a Spirit on a GQ TD42 ,I have a winch challenge truck over here in NZ that gets a hard life .Cust turbo ,intercooled,etc .just looking for feed back on any known problems .Cheers Steve

Hi Mate i have been useing Cals Cv and axles for over 2 years now in a winch challenge truck and although they have been clicking for over a year now we still cant break them this is in a highly modified intercooled turbo diesel,like you we got sick of changeing CVs during comps ,since swapping over ...

Sorry cant get any pics at the moment my trucks not here for a few days ,dont know about a coil cab but in both Safari"s ive owned its been in the same place ,above the rear passengers wheel arch ,you have to remove the inner upholstered side panel (normally just clipped in) and it will be bolted in ...

Had the same problem ,in the end it turned out to be the the control box which controls all the power to dash ,its located above the left rear wheel arch ,remove the inner panel to get at it ,its held in with 3 bolts and has 2 plugs with heaps of wires .Cheers

Hi Mate ,Have had the same problem before ,I held a nut over the hole where the snapped of stud was and filled it up with weld useing a mig ,took 2 goes but came out in the end .the heat from welding seemed to help loosen it ..Cheers

Hi A couple of things to check are the drain tap at the bottom of fuel filter ,make sure there are no hair line cracks and its not sucking air ,the second thing is under the banjo fitting on the fuel pump (where the fuel comes in ) recesed about 30mm down is a filter ,hook it out with a piece of ...

Ive been running the 35x11.5x16 silverstones on a winch truck over here in NZ for just over a year now ,when new they measured 35 1/2 inch tall,there is approx 1" difference between the 15 and 16 " for some reason ,after a years running 3 comps ,many club runs and approx 2000 km on tar seal they ...

Hi Weve been running a PTO on a GQ comp truck for over 4 years and would never go back to elec for our primary winch ,we do have a high mount in the rear for those blonde moments but our pto will blow it away every time ,i have heard all the stories about what happens when your engine stops etc but ...

We Had exactly the same problem when fitting mine,in the end we held a nut over the grub screw and useing a mig filled up the centre with weld welding the nut to grub screw then it undun real easy (the heat helps ) ..Cheers

Center mount winches are a bitch to spool up correctly (especially in comp) The tube feeding the cable forward makes the rope/cable bunch up in the middle instead of spooling across evenly If the winch is set up right and you leave a space of at least 5oo to 1 metre from the last guide to the winch ...

When i made my post re the CVs clicking please dont think im bagging them in any way Prior to me useing them we were breaking factory ones quite often,these have done quite a few comps and club runs and although they are clicking they are still holding together,they have out lasted factory CVs many ...

I had a CAL CV let go on friday night the short side in my SUZZYQ. For the people who don't know my truck she is a gq lwb chassie suk body commodore V6 auto on IROK 42'S . Not a heavy truck at all and with a stock as you can get V6. I'M now just waiting to see how the after sale's service. :cry: I ...

Hi what we did on mine was removed the sump welded a piece of tube onto the side and turbo oil return feeds directly into that back into the sump .Cheers

[quote="Lewis"]i think cal's are the go, stronger than gu and if you damage a gq housing it is cheap and easy to replace unlike a gu housing.[
X2 ive been runing them in a GQ comp rig for the last year or so ,one of the best things ive thown money at ..Cheers/quote]

Yep works no problem ,a large portion of the winch challenge trucks over hear in NZ run pto with Synthetic..Cheers

I did a lot of research over here to find correct oil in my comp truck we use on oil called Carter EP 680 ,its designed for worm drives etc its bloody thick ..cheers

Hi The champer faces the CV ,I have had the same problem before and now use a piece of pipe or a socket that neatly fits over the axle and tap it lightly and the circlip pops into place,,

Even at the normal price their worth every cent ,Im running them in a winch truck over here in NZ and so far i havent been able to break them and as a bonus for some reason i now have a better turning circle...

On a GQ there is a oil feed from memory in between the passengers engine mount i think its about an 6 or 8mm hex key thats the best one to feed a turbo its a feed direct from a oil gallery ..Cheers

Yep i Know what your saying ,I have not had a problem before with the auto/manual hubs as long as i manual lock them ,I would like to continue to use them as i find they are stronger than superwinch and avm but still act as a fuse and only take a couple of minutes to change..Cheers

I know ,I have just bought a set over here in NZ ,Just trying to fit them but as its the weekend have tried calling Cal but cant get any answer so have sent him an Email with the same question,I asked on here as somebody else must of run into the same problem..Cheers

Hi All ,This may be a stupid question but here goes anyway,On these new CVs there is no inner cir clip groove only the outer one,,so as i run the auto manual hubs i either have to get a groove machined into the CV or run them without cir clips, just wondered how anyone else got over this ,I could ...

Have you checked the oil return hose from the vacum pump on the rear of the Alt as they have a habit of getting brittle and cracking ..Cheers
