I know this isn't a new topic and it has been talked about, but can anyone give me some feedback on hows their TD42 is running without the precleaner. I am keen to get rid of it, I figure one of those filters in the neck of the snorkle could do the same job? Anyone regret removing it?
Cheers,
Paul

Sadly no difference in power.... but looks better.
If I was doing desert tripping I would put it back.
I had the same experience as bogged on my GQ TD42, no change in power!
With the precleaner removed and the primary filter replaced with a K&N, the engine was a little more responsive and about 0.5L/100km better economy but not really any more power.
This is ok for everyday driving around town but on dusty tracks I put the precleaner back in, extra protection for the engine and the primary filter.

Forgot you said you pulled it out!
All of the Jap Import Safari's (Patrol's) we get here in NZ only have the primary cleaner on top of the engine. They do have the water trap thing inside the guard, but it has no filter. All of them run fine, so there shouldn't be any problem removing the pre-cleaner from yours if you're wanting to reduce the inlet restrictions.
Our roads/tracks probably aren't as dusty as over in Oz, so that may be why we get away with it? But the filter sock as you suggested would solve that problem.
The NZ new GU TD42-T trucks we get only have one filter also. Is a cylinder one in behind the LH headlight. Seems small, but seems to do the job....I assumed its the same as ones available in Oz??
