unbreakable wrote:thanks vsaharax, i think thats what i'll do, the time it would take to make it myself could be spent better driving around enjoying my truck.

15 mins tops to make.....barely be able to get any driving in that time

just cut a length of flat bar say 10mm x 3 or 4mm enough to match the lift uve added to ur truck. drill the two holes in each end of new extension and bolt to bracket on diff and LPV. i have pics of mine if ya want me to post or email them.

take it out and take to a steering shop to look at. If you take it out it shoudnt cost too much for them to strip down and rebuild it

Fark mine seems awful high

he is running rears up front with is 3" forward straight up , but i believe he has also redrilled the perches to gain and extra 1" on top of that. so his diff is 4" forward he is running ifs rears int he back as well, which moves the diff back 1" this gives the MIGHTY 83 a wheel base of 117" (stock ...

:crazyeyes: From the speeds you have just quoted your speedo is out by 17.6%. going to 33's with std ratios should only put your speedo out about 10%.... go and find one of those 5km odometer check zones, clear your tripmeter as you start, once finished the 5kms see how far you have driven. I ...

In my LN106 Dual Cab, the cab bolts were 85mm (so 135mmx8 grade 8 bolts with nyloc nuts) and the tub bolts were 45mm (so 95mmx6 grade 8 bolts with nyloc nuts).

Gribble, sounds you like and Drop Bear had a good (read: long) drive home. and thanks heaps for bringing the diff down for me

Drop Bear, good drive mate, glad to see the Lux did well, at least until the trip home anyway

I'll be there for the whole weekend. My dad is marshalling a stage (he's got a camo humvee). Im driving a ford courier ute with eastaway air con on the side of the canopy. Diesel028 if it falls through im leaving from hornsby on fri arvo and will have room for a centre . See you all there. Thomas ...

Thanks guys, but at the moment it looks like Ive got someone. If it falls thru, ill let ya's know!

Just wondering if there is anyone here who could possibly pick up a diff centre and bring it to Willowglen for me from the Hornsby area?? There will be something in it for you if you can help me out!

PM for details

Cheers

what is the legal limit for a speedo to be out - is there one?

Yes, there is one. I think its around 3% for vehicles from factory.

do you have some sort of mathematical equation or something behind this? So i am doing 100............ i am really doing approx 105 - 107km/hr? not taking into account mechanical error. Simple maths. 33/31 = 1.0645161290322580645161290322581 or near enogh to + 6.4516% and yes. Speedo = 100 km/h ...

what size tyres do you wanna run?

Oh and they retail for $22

Auto Pro. They are a dealer for Bushranger who make a good tow hook, with a good keeper spring as well. Much better than the one in your pic.

so if the steering wheel is on why would you need to know what boss kit to use

sounds a bit long. check what oil filter is on it. there is often two types advailable. the cheaper one (which dosn't filter as well) does tend to cause the oil pressure to take a while to build up. afaik there are 2 different Z9 filters (Z9 & Z9a), i'll see if i can dig through the old pile and ...

I use a Z9 with Castrol GTD in my 91 LN106 with 404,000kms.....oil light on for maybe 3 seconds at most

silicone gutter sealant - works every time and cost less than the Auto stuff! Dont use roofing silicone. It will leak like a seive after a year or so of use. Use proper RTV sealant like Ultra Blue, Stag etc. I would use a gasket too, they are only $10 from repco. Yeah I think i will get a gasket as ...

Cheers guys

what should i use between the diff centre and housing (when changing diff centres) to prevent leaking? Is there a special gasket or something else i can use?

Cheers
