Re: Lost Bottom end grunt - MK Triton

I'd say you would be spot on Scott, hence why I suggested this as a possible fault in my first post. I've still got my money on a faulty Afm though.

Re: Lost Bottom end grunt - MK Triton

Sweet man, thanks for the tip. Can you please explain to me how I had a dramatic , extremely noticable increase in bottom end torque when A new pump was fitted thus bringing the pressure and flow back to normal?

Re: Lost Bottom end grunt - MK Triton

Not saying that it is the fuel pump. but I would expect that if the pump was sus, it would starve the engine for fuel at high loads - high revs/high load. I would be looking for a vacuum hose either fallen off or perished, whic allows air to get into the engine at low revs, mucking up the air/fuel ...

Air Flow Meter or check fuel pressure. AFM's are pretty common but expensive. Try cleaning it with a very light solvent and see if it improves. I was lacking down low power in my 3lt. Pulled the return line off while running and no fuel was returning to the tank. Replaced the crappy Fuelmiser pump ...

Re: Freewheeling Hub Conversion

My advice is to steer clear of the AVM branded hubs.

After about 2 years i threw them in the ...

Re: Transfer output bearings

Do you have up and down movement of the front shaft where it goes into the transfer? This is not a common fault with the standard IFS as the front diff is solidly mounted and there is no up and down movement. I would assume yours has worn due to the movement of the front solid diff. The front shaft ...

Re: Longer springs & Shorter Shocks???

Part number is RS5115. I ordered them through a Rancho distributor here in Oz. From memory he said he would make them up. They are a great length shock and give heaps of travel with swaybar removed. Even patrol springs want to fall out. I suggest making up 10 to 20mm spacers for the bump stops to ...

I cant see an issue with these shocks running patrol springs. Standard length shocks would be an issue however i would say the sway bar will limit travel well before the 2"shocks top out. I don't see an issue with removing the sway bar either as i run a 3" Rancho shock, patrol spring and no sway bar ...
