100 is the IFS
105 is the Live Axle

105 never got the Turbo Diesel, just the n/a 1HZ

105 do come in GXL, but rare. Auto 105 are rarer still.

105 have a larger and stronger front diff, are easier to lift etc.

Factory T/D is a wonderful engine. 1HZ is reliable, just a bit underpowered. Aftermarket turbo helps, but not as good as factory.

All poo... no multivalve's. It is "different" to the earlier versions, seems to be just a little more pokey, however more prone to premature failure when turbo's are fitted and tuned too far.

so if turboed just keep it simple and regular tune ups and should be sweet...
now the ifs hundys r suposed to be a good unit and have fairly decent flex but no solid style flex. Would one of these be worth a look in.

Or should i just keep it solid front and rear.

thanks for all the help guys..
whats the bad things to look out for if buyin one
