Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've tried the search but not really helpful.
Can someone please tell what weight oil to run in the front diff of a 2002 gu patrol wagon.I know its 5.4 litres,but forgotten the rest.

cheers

conversion was done by brunswick diesels in WA after the 3 litre went bye bye at 112,000k.

Not a Duramax.total conversion was $23,000 drive in,drive out.

Money well spent.75,000 k's on it so far and not a hint of trouble

Just bought and fitted a set too while installing a LOKKA ,took the car out and gave it hell,so far no dramas with the avm's

Long ...

thanks very much for that

I've had my Brunswick installed 6.5 in my gu for 2 years now and have covered 70,000 k's so far.

Not one problem at all,expensive conversion yes,worthit ,definantly.

If i did it again the only thing i would change is to not opt for the tallest diff ratio I could,

Car ran economically on 33's but ...

Hi all,can anyone help me out with a schematic of the front diff,hubs,etc of a 2002 GU patrol,

did a search but couldn't find what i was after.

thanks in advance

Sorry missed a question,slippy in the back,no locker in the front.

Had the car since new(2002).
Got me buggered as to what it is,definitely comes from the passenger side of the car though.wheel bearings were replaced less than 5thou ago so all is good there.

Sounds very similar to what mines doing.not constant but rather intermittent,say every 500m on a beach

as far as I know they are,the centres both front and rear were done when the engine went in

Hi all,

I have a 02 gu wagon fitted with a 6.5 chev,315 MTZ,crown + pinions out of qa 4.5 ltre petrol (3.5 ratio ?)

I have noticed a noise whilst under continuous load only, as in while running for long period of time in soft beach sand
i can only explain as if something is wound up and then lets ...

I'd definantly go the chev again,I had the 6.5 installed 60,000k's ago and hasnt missed a beat.$24000 for install running 3.5 diffs I think,(whatever is in the 4.5 petrols).
Average consumption is 14L/100k doesnt really matter if towing or not or 100kph or 130 it's just how much it uses.

I'm not ...

Hurt a bit at the time,least now I know the trucks good for a few more kays.

They do a cheaper version but $24000 was fully rebuilt etc,new 3.5 diffs.

Cheers

As stated by mkpatrol ,there are plenty getting around.Every second grey nomad towing a van during tourist season has one.

In the town I live approx 3000 people there's been 8-10 that have shat the tin in the last 18 months,mine included.We all have now fitted 6.5 litre chev diesels.

Mine's an 02 ...

Hi all,I have a 02 wagon with a 3" lift.At this stage I run the following,

Front coils 3"heavy duty King springs
Rear coils 3" dobinson springs.
4 x foam cell shocks 430mm compressed, 630mm extended.

As this is all that I have installed can anyone tell me if I need to do more.

Are the shocks ...

Go the brunswick,I did this conversion 15000 k ago,awesome difference.
12L/100k towing or not
$24000 drive in and out,my zd30 had a u/s fuel pump and they still gave me $4000 for it.
Diff pinions + ring gear changed to petrol ratio(3.9 I think).
1950rpm at 110kph.
2.8 G/Box is the only one not up to ...

Hi,my 2002 gu wagon with 6.5 chev runs centres from the petrol patrol's 3.5,gives me 2000 rpm @ 110kph.

Had a quote done up over here in WA last week $13000 fully engineered etc.

If it's just the bearing thats gone,don't fall for the nissan answer of replacing the whole thing but go to a local bearing place and have just the bearing replaced.Mine costs $7 a time,bearing is to suit a v6 commodore.

Cheers.

check the 3 nuts n studs on dump pipe,one of mine is stripped and it now makes the noise exactly as your describing.mine's made the noise which is quite loud for over 5000k,hasn't hurt it at all.

Hi all,I''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''itting a vn v6 into a 88 hilux 2wd and used the kit from

Yep,sounds just like mine was before it died.

Didn't use heaps of coolant probably a litre over 1500k,but when the head finally gave out used all of it.Never been overheated in the time I have had it 35000k's to 101000k's.


As I said previously head is now fixed.uses no coolant,runs heaps better ...

Recently after a trip to perth ( approx 1500k),cracked the head causing Hydraulic Lock(repair bill of $2200 with me doing the work).Car had just ticked over 100,000k's.

Talked to the guy's at perth head exchange ,he informed me that he imports from japan 30 heads a month,most recent failure 2005 ...

Hi all,I have a 02 gu wagon,I have a 2'' lift fitted,because the rear sags while towing and weight of gear i've added a pair of 30mm spacers to the rear.

Now I have a death wobble evident thru the steering wheel beetween 85-95k's an hour.

It's only evident at these speeds,any ideas if this is the ...

Hi,On my 02 gu wagon 3 litre. Iwent the 2 3/4 " straight thru no muffler,made a huge difference,turbo spools up nicely,turbo lag isnt as evident.I've read some stuff on blocking the egr pipe and after disassembly of my motor(should have seen the crap in there)I would do it no worries.

Last week ...
