Outer Limits 4x4 Board

To avoid potential electrolyse, don't forget to isolate the radiator from the body with rubber mounts.

We had a Iroda kicking around the in the workshop I worked at years ago, That exact kit. It turned its self into a flame thrower and I didn't like the way it handled.

For over 15 years I have been using the orange Portasol butane irons like this one when installing / working electrical equipment in cars and or remote areas when no power was available although even when there was power I would sometimes still use the this orange one as its so versatile and capable ...

another tip with alloy radiators...before you install one do a electrolysis test. How do you do an electrolysis test? Use your eyes or is there a proper meathod? Use a multimeter on its lowest DC range. Connect the negative lead on the meter to the negative on the battery and the stick the meters ...

Just got home and checked the service manual. That sensor on the bottom radiator hose outlet is the over-temp cut out for the air con. I pulled my A/C out when the turbo/front mount went in so no loss to me.

Another tip with the GQ petty radiators is make sure they have allowances for the bottom sensor (drivers side) The new rad i bought for the GQ 9 months ago didnt have this and had to be modded to accept hmm.. I just bought new rad without the thread for the sensor and old temp sensor is still ...

tried carby clean?

Doesn't surprise me, A few weeks ago I ordered a aluminium rad from Adelaide for a petrol GQ, only to get a Diesel one in the petrol box.. At least in the end I did get what I paid for and it made a huge difference to the temp. Good luck with yours.

Where??... OHH.. up there in the sky

Thanks for every one's feed back. This motor doesn't use excessive oil and the catch can/intake is clean. I did increase the boost the other day to around 20 PSI and drove around for about 20 km but have since turned the boost back down to 15 after I was told that I need a second gas tank so I can ...

Thanks for the advice. I am running a turbo diesel "log" manifold with external waste gate mounted so it was interesting to hear you mention a log type manifold, but.. I took some photos of the ports a few months ago and they were all black.. I can't richen up any ports individually, the set is ...

Pulled the exhaust manifold off my Turbo LPG TB42 the other day to fix a leak between it and the turbo, Anyways found that 2 of the exhaust ports are white.. I know that means lean but why only 2? If the tappets where tight, could it cause this? It does rattle a little when you start it cold, but ...

Same thing happened to a mate of mine in his GQ, we just cut a small section of hose from somewhere off the truck and then found a bolt to wedge/thread between the hose then filled with river water for the ride back. Worked 100% and the bung is still there today, bar the dirty water!

It tetrafluoroethane in the freezer spray.

Fcuk you must be strong, those things are pretty heavy.

is it for the death ray? What does it do when you press it?

Take a joke dude.... at the time i thought it was a funny comment. Whats with the telling me to "die" comment but? bit harsh mate.


gees...... I knew I was stirring up trouble......

Why do you have a stink pipe on the side of your truck? do you shit under the bonnet?

lucky i drive a nissan..... I would rather a cracked head over a cracked block hehe.

true. good luck.

get yourself some Subaru upper engine cleaner, That shit foams up like shaving cream...

And if all that fails just fill it up via the breather hole.

Don't want to be a smart ass but thats what the "wanted" sections for. If I didn't say it some body else would have.

Have a look around the hazard light switch.

loose the sway bar..... free mod and more flex.

under the petrol tank? Why would you do that? what sort of truck is this going in?

I was told to grind down a few mm of metal tube that runs thru the rubber body mounts if they were worn.
