    4d34 and 4d33 Mitsubishi engine Thread starter Chriswarren Start date Yesterday at 5:15 PM

    Australian 4D33 are cable as I would believe are 4D34 here. Drive by wire was only done on computerized as far as I know so maybe 4D34T here may be as well. Dan.

    4d34 and 4d33 Mitsubishi engine Thread starter Chriswarren Start date Yesterday at 5:15 PM

    But short answer is yes I do believe that you could put a 4D33 in and all the wiring should fit right up. Saying this I have not done it but my belief is so. You could run a turbo 4D34 if that was available complete (non-computerized). You would need the exhaust down pipe as well. Dan.

    How hot should the rear differential get?

    As long as you put the right oil in, it sounds fairly normal. Don't forget they are Limited Slip so every corner the clutch packs are slipping creating heat. Dan.

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    This I know. I've tried to message him a few times a little while back but have never received a reply. I am member of the Oka Site. Dan.

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    The reason to stick with a Canter was to keep the vehicle Canter width. Other wise I may as well have gone with a larger 4WD truck (probably cheaper option). This is being made to run old drill rig routes in the desert. Some of these are getting very overgrown so a wider truck will have trouble...

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    I went for a drive last week (2,500Klm / 1,550Mls) to pick up my "victim" for my "Yes or No" vehicle. It is a 2000 model FE637 with a long chassis so I don't have to give it stretch. Engineer loves that. It has a 4D33 4.2l non-turbo engine. It will be getting a turbo as part of the conversion...

    1993 Fuso FG Buy or Dont Buy?

    I've been away for a the week. Yes. reverse in these boxes are constant mesh, run through an idler gear set. First and reverse are on the same slider - dog teeth and possibly syncros either side. Why they ever made the position for them and never fitted them is their story. When I have one...

    2004 Fuso FG 639 vs 649

    Ok, I've just gone through this looking for a suitable chassis for my "Yes or No" vehicle and can tell you that the running gear on most is the same but there is a difference in the chassis dimensions on some (height, width and thickness). Is this the difference in what you are looking at - you...

    1993 Fuso FG Buy or Dont Buy?

    Lets tell a story. In one of the trucks that I fitted the high speed transfer gears, the shaft out of the gearbox was butchered by previous owners. I ended up taking the gearbox apart to have the shaft spline reground. This is in a FG637, but to my knowledge the same gearbox is used in all the...

    J-Spec FG638E

    It's on the end of the housing from where it bolts up. Remove the anti-tamper cap, then the outer cap. Inside is a little screw that has a allen key slot in the end and a lock nut to stop it from turning. Loosen lock nut and screw in too increase fuel. I went in 1 3/4 turns on mine. It is a 4D33...

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    This I all ready know. I actually went and saw to the man that built it (near Atherton) with the thought of offering to buy it from him but he had allready sold it to a gent in Cairns (some 10 months earlier), who by his telling would never sell it. When I get home (Gladstone) I see it is for...

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    Well I know this Thread is old but I have been plugging away in the background. The divider box ( two tailshafts out to the rear) has been designed (not built yet). It will have 2WD (front rear axle) - Both rear axles full time drive (centre diff) - Both rear axles locked together. Most parts...

    Canter stuck near Purine Bore SA

    If you look closely at the video that those pics were taken from they are actually not on the track but were driving parallel to it which they tell you never to do because the track even though covered in water is more solid than the ground around it. They apparently have enough supplies for at...

    FG's in Action

    So , yes, not Canter axles - therefore the strange rims. I thought it may have been a different supplier of rims to suit Canters. Dan.
