Outer Limits 4x4 Board

On the issue of getting the shackles engineered, it depends how cocky the engineer is and how he puts them on the report, i had one report where they where written as longer replacement shackles instead of extended.

Just my 2 c worth

it may just be that one brand of pump that is no good. i dont know the brand unfortunately.

I have spotties and winch controller aswell

FINALLY SORTED!!!!

Installed new genuine pump and thermostat, just came back from a run to windsor and no trouble did not heat up. Temp gauge sat in one spot for the whole trip!

Cheers all

Ok guys, i've jut pulled my oldwater pump off (non genuine) and measured it up against a genuine one and they are quite different. The genuine pump sits its impellor 15mm into the block, measured the old oneand it only sits 11-12mm into the block. The imellor is also smaller on the non gen one. I'm ...

i'll give ita go and see how it goes,im open to any ideas which may see ths problem solved.

Cheers Barney

Mineonly overheats on the freeway under load. The fluid coupling fans only work up to about 2500rpm, they are only a slow speed thing, if they were locked up all the time they would have less benifit. I'll put it this way. if your doing 3000rpm in 1st gear you are moving the same amount of air that ...

there is a changed in genuine but thet don't stock them,they have been superseded by the new part, i went down this morning. thermostats are very different aswell

Ok guys i may have found the answer. I think the nswer is in the water pumps, if you have an issue which does not go along with this please notify me asap. I think the aftermarket pumps are the issue, the people that have issues are the ones with aftermarket pumps, and the all good ones are genuine ...

Thats all been blasted out with a gurnie seperately

and i have tried removing spot light ans all that stuff

I'm pretty sure they only use springs in radiator hoses to prevent it from squashing when the vechile is cooling down and trying to such fluid from the overflow back into the cooling system. Possitive pressure due to heat prevents this happening while the vechile is running

I have a stock 2.8L diesel non turbo.

I will compare a few things, i have an idea which might show up something.

Keep posting with genuine or aftermarket please

i recon the best way is to knock up your own bunnings or simular sell some axles or if you want t o go all out your local bearing company can set you up. it will probably cost you $50. i built one a little while ago. still going strong

G'day all

Thank you all in advance

I have a problem with the speedo in my hilux. it is a 91 diesel and the speedo sometimes works but other times flutters between 0 and 160km/h. im pretty sure it is an electrical speedo. Just wondering if anyone has come across this problem before. I'm quite sure it would be a short some where or ...

im tempted to get the lifht but add climax shackles to it

Bendix 4wd pads are good for short stopping distances and off road where disc temperatures dont vary up too much. bendix heavy duty would be well suited to you application, they have a wider temperature range and still work well high speed and low speed If you want some thing thjat is going to pull ...

you guys are getting of easy, with a suspension lift on a 92 d/cab its costing me $1700 with just cars and bout the same with aami

G'day work at a specialist brake work shop


They dont make bendix metals anymore, but either bendix 4wd or heavy duty are the way too go. EBC are going to be roughly the same as heavy duty bendix. it all depends on how you drive your truck.

Any other question just ask

Hey mate It could be a couple of things 1- Clutch 2- Clutch fork 3- Cable i would make sure your cable aint sticking in its housing, if it is try and work some wd40 and atf mixed together down the housing. Other wise pull your box out and have a look. How many k's have you done on this clutch? Hope ...

overhaul your calipers first then see if it goes away, just for fun, check all the lines and hoses aswell just incase

Hey mate,

Not too sure about lockers, but my first i dea would be to check the gear oil, make sure it.s not over full.

If you have anyother probs, ill check with the boys at work

GQ's right you have the lock plate which sits on the adjuster, do what he said. if that fails, cut the drum off, just be careful not to cut the wheel cylinder!!

do you have any idea where i could get the calibra motor from??

Thanks guys


the motor isn't blown yet, it has noisy bearings and cam so a new engine would be the go, i'm tempted to do the engine my self at work but dont want the hasle of it. how much engine mount mods would have to be done to fit the calibra motor in?

Thanks again

Mark
