Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Good to know thanks. Mine still does it but only about 10% of the time now compared to 90% before. I found 2 issues... 1st was the plug that sits near the thermostat housing had loose wires and 2nd was the actual magnetic sensor in the front of the motor. Took that out and cleaned it dry (had lots ...

Its electric.
i did a very rough corrigated drive which may have vibrated wires loose.
i will take the cluster out and have a look.
thanks for the input.

Has anyone come across this on a GQ tacho? It started about 2 weeks back but its not always there. Comes and goes at will. Not a real problem though as after 26 years owning GQ's I know what revs the engine is at without the tacho. I am hoping its a simple fix. Hope someone has come across it before ...

Thanks moose,

Have the front diff out and was looking for suggestions from you guys as to which grease to use to repack the axle swivels please. Also I have noticed that many workshops don't use diff gaskets anymore when re installing diff centres. can someone tell me what they use, it seems to be some type of ...

UPDATE on what I have found out... there is external differences between GQ and TB45 transfer cases just for those who like to know. Only found this out this morning while trying to compare the 2 and found out the following..... These are things I KNOW are different so far.... 1: the electrical ...

Hey guys, Got a GQ 4.2 Diesel wagon. Also got a spare transfer box out of a TB45. (no idea which model) Any differences in the gearing between the 2. I am assuming all shafts and chain would be identical. I want to replace my 4.2 Diesel gears with the Tb45 gears ONLY due to having a stuffed bearing ...

Hey guys, Finally found a complete Dual Volt Gauge system that fits in the GQ dash with an added bonus of a dual USB connector. Just wanted to share with you guys who are thinking of adding Volt meters but were not sure which way to go. This set up is easy. I always worried about battery levels when ...

I hear ya Lepa. Glad your happy with the outcome mate. I am going to sit this one on the fence for a bit until I decide weather I will up the boost on my patrol or not. But from what I have read, I can modify a std manifold myself that 50 mm it needs. So for now, I have other things to experiment ...

Thanks mate.will check it out.
Yes read the debate on 4x4, we got some seriously smart people around. glad I read up on it. From what I read, its a dud.

Have been eyeing this manifold as a nice addition to my turboed GQ TD42 but would like some facts from those who know before getting ripped again. Anyone have any factual info on this thing, sure looks good. They claim to increase flow by 50% and also increase torgue (no figures shown on website ...

anyone know what they sell for?

Hey guys, I have a wireless remote setup to use on my warn winch. But wiring it up as per instructions don't work. Anyone know where the wires go so that I can use both the wireless and the warn hand control as a back up. I have a warn VR12000 (import model BUT same setup as most) Its a 5 pin. The ...

Silver top GQ motors are the same design as the UD trucks. Then in 95 they lightened them up a bit by using lighter pistons as they were not turbo from factory. Then when they brought out the turbo GU they went back to the heavier pistons and a slightly stronger crank. The flywheels also differ ...

Thanks crack
I will sus it out mate
cheers

YEs i got one about a year back fitting it was a pain though. Had to modify the second battery housing for the air box to fit properly, but expect to spend a few more bucks on different attchments to ur snorkel. I had a mandrel bent stainless steel tube made to run from air box to turbo, ths was not ...

x3 on the bonnet hinges.
drove me nuts for months, thought the car was going to snap.
Then just by chance..a dog jumped on my bonnet and the noise started again and thats how i found it :-)...
The noise is gone but the dog is still here :-)

Hi guys, Can someone tell me if the aftermarket rubber guard flares are all the same as far as quality goes? My main concern is ..are they quality rubber so they dont rip out from the mounting points easily. I need to replace the original ones as the 4 inch lift is causing the 33's to rub while ...

Rizzo, ur a legend mate. I checked out the site and they look good. Sydney based too which is a bonus for repairs or parts. Also noticed a 12V 1/2 inch impact gun which is dirt cheap. Comes with carry case / impact sockets and cables for 59 bucks. Excellent price that. Im gonna make sure that winch ...

ok makes sence.
Thanks very much for ur imput.
I will see whats in the way before everything is bolted up first time.
Thanks again guys.

Piggy, Thanks for the info. Think i wil go for the tigerz as it seems to be talked about most and i saw a video on some different quality ones and the tigerz was recomended to be fine. As for your suggestions as to running breathers and such, well i understand what ur suggesting but i will need more ...

GU Town, thanks for the input. some great feedback there. You said its best to re-grease the tigerz with good quality grease..... my question is... is the section to be greased easy to dismantle OR does the whole thing need to be stripped (including the cable off the spool? Also can it be done on ...

Guys, need ur expert advice here. Am ready to buy a winch and bar for my GQ. It has a 4 inch suspension lift (NO BODY LIFT). What do u guys suggest. Im looking for a 1200lb winch, not decided weather to go steel cable or the other rope setup. I have heard some good reports about the tigerz ...

Thats great news.
Thanks very much

Yeh Turps i know mate but they dont last long. I have replaced 4 in the past 3 years. Seems I always end up with one cone that gets lumpy. Have tried Repco and supercheap ones. Was thinking if i find a GU with low kms, I can get me a tailshaft with its genuine uni's still on it that will last for a ...

Anyone know if the rear GU Tailshaft is the same as the GQ one for a LWB 4.2D. Gotta replace uni's and i think it would be cheaper to get a GU one from a wrecker. Plus the fact that the slide shaft would probably have less wear than my GQ one has.
Anyone..?

Tried a search but for some reason it kept freezing so ill ask here ..... I've heard that people are adding 2 stroke oil to their diesel fuel tanks to compensate for the lack of sulphur. Can someone tell me if this is true and what the ratio mix is please. Also what type of oil is it, (wasnt sure if ...

Wondering if the GQ / GU tailshafts are identical.

Im interested in the 4.2 Diesel 5 speed.

Thanks guys, short and sweet answers.
