G'day,

Just picked up a 87 model diesel dual cab lux.

I have done a quick search and couldnt find much, so here are a few questions. Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. What engine oil do I use and how much?

2. There is alot of slack in the steering, how do I go about tightening it up?

3. I need new hose from the fuel cab to tank, does anyone know what hose it is? Size ect? And where I could get some from?


Thanks a heap in advance.

Cheers ;)

1: http://www.datateck.com.au/lube/castr_au/default.asp and other oil brands have sites the same
2:Steering box may have play also they tend wear ends on the draglink if you don't have much of a clue about mech stuff might pay to take it for a check at steering/suspension shop
3:Price one genuine you maybe surprised or a truck spares joint will have the right size for what you want.
