    Replace syncros in an FG

    To be honest Kerry, It'll probably go forever like that, unless it self-destructs by a gear ring letting go or bearing collapse. I once drove around Fraser Island for 3 days after losing the clutch pressure plate fingers and slave cylinder, starting her in 1st gear low range and split shifting...

    Replace syncros in an FG

    Good thinking there Kerry, replace the clutch slave and master cylinder too, re-race the box whilst it is all apart. I'd go with the one with the most experience on your particular type of truck, the cheapest quote isn't always the cheapest in the end.....

    FG Dual Cab Air con Upgrade

    Sounds to me like you need the Evaporator cleaned out, and a new blower fan, if it hasn't been changed. they lose power after alot of hours trying to force air through the blocked Evap and filter. Alt. is a custom beef up, unless someone has adapters for something else. Chock

    Replace syncros in an FG

    Kerry, Unless you have 1. steroids 2. transmission jacks 3. patience to pull it apart insitu, which also requires a bloody good memory I would strongly recommend that you use the dealership, unless they are an incompetent bunch of freaks that will overcharge. They aren't the easiest 'box I've...

    Replace syncros in an FG

    There's a cir clip which is hard to see discernable wear on the main shaft, let me guess, it's fourth gear isn't it?

    EarthCruiser Overland Vehicles

    It reads like he is saying he invented all this stuff, but they were doing euro springs onto jap trucks for Melkshams back in the late 80's..... Reasonable product, but not the best of the best of the best......

    new nps300 crewcab

    I hope the DPD works ok for you, a mate in Townsville had some issues, but it doesn't seem to be consistent. Body looks nice too (must be the only forum I can say that on)

    Aeon Rubber

    Here's how the fitting went, At first the holes were too small for the bolts supplied So then I had to drill the bastard out, which isn't an issue with the drill resharpened for battery drill cutting speed. then the bolt went through with about .25 mm tolerance, nice... As you can see...

    Aeon Rubber

    Righto Pete, Got the truck back, not leaking, good sign. Fitted the Aeons today, needed to drill out the rear mounting holes on the chassis, that was my only hurdle. I'm yet to take it for a drive, don't know if I will either. I've had a serious personality clash with another staff member and...

    Aeon Rubber

They found that the oil was coming not from tthe rear main as first suggested, but from the sub frame that holds the main bearings in place, but to...
