Dan's right in 2.3m is wide, but for the 95% of the time i'm not battling narrow tracks, I'd rather have the width and I'm also not nearly as brave as he is. My trays 3.3m long which I thought was on the money for 60% of wheel base as your rear projection behind the centre of the axle. Check you...

If you go new, you’ll at least no it’s history. while your doing it replace the slave cylinder as well. My big tip Allow a lot of time to do the master. It’s cuddly and wasn’t design for big hands Match your rod length before installing, that’s hard to adjust after the install

Ive got a 98' 4D33, smokes lots when started after sitting a few hrs, think its fuel lines draining back and letting air into the injectors. clears up after a couple 5 minute . Mine can sound like a train or old fishing boat at around 90kph, woom wooom wooom woom. higher speed goes away as does...

Who did you end up buying your pump from? You won’t need to remove the rad or its shroud. It’s also awkward removing the fan from within the shroud (I think at one point I left the fan in the bottom corner of the shroud as I had removed the pump 3 times to change o rings thinking that was the...

Sorry to hear about your hickup. i had a similar thing happen back in April with my FG637, everywhere I went would leave 1/2 cup of coolant when I arrived. (probably back pressure once the engine was stopped). Replaced the water pump seal, twice, hoping it was that but eventually found the...

What type of wheels do you have (original or singles). I had a similar problem a long time ago with shake at higher speeds. Ended up being my super single with a 12mm centre was deforming the brake drum. Removed the wheel and brake drum then took the wheels in with the hubs, and had the drums...

Over the years, I've added so much electrical to the cab, I never allowed enough loop to tile the cab. Would be so much easier if they had built a cab lift to these trucks

Yup, took a while to get the rest of the parts and injectors reconditioned. I have had it back on the road for the last 2 weeks. Clocked up 2000k's. Was hoping for a decent increase in power now that it had a new gasket and injectors. But it still seems to be the same old tired engine. It is a...

i have this if you PM me ill send you a dropbox link

Thanks Aussie Iron for your thoughts. Was a little confused as if numbers were sequential, my number would've have bee released after theirs. But makes sense if both companies list the same number. I was hoping for signs on the old head gasket but doesn't appear to be any, except for...

Ive searched the forum and can't find any links to anyone who may have done this while the engine was still in the truck. Coming home from the beach on New Years eve, 20km run, all year long Ive been doing weekly runs from Tweed to Brisbane without any problems, and then the last hill, I lost...
