You got that right. You need to learn to stall it (shut engine down) when in climb and not making it. Don't just clutch it and rely on the brakes to hold you "THEY WON"T". When the Canter is stopped shift swiftly and precisely into reverse and with foot of clutch, hit ignition to start in gear...

NO -- tubes in tyres mean that you CAN NOT lower your pressure too much as it will end up screwing the tube round in the tyre and breaking of the valve stem off. They need to be run tubless to go to low pressure. The pressure to run in them has to be worked out there is no one pressure that...

Sure have, exhaust temp sender in the exhaust manifold pre-turbo. Oil temp/pressure in the oil line where it comes out of the block. That's the normal. Depends on which model engine you have find a spot on the exhaust manifold that is accessible close as possible to the turbo and drill and tap...

I'm yet to wreck a rim and mine get a hiding. I have had an episode not long ago where we can't get rid of a shimmy in the front end. First blame tyre balance but I run beads and never had a problem. We rotated through 6 tyres on rims and couldn't get rid of it. We even tracked the rims to see...

Yep, rebuild them is the way to go. A lot cheaper even than after market. Unless they are pitted than it is worth getting them stainless sleeved and only ever have to replace the rubber once every BLUE Moon. Dan.

No and I wouldn't sell mine here in Australia. Not going anywhere near computerized/DEF trucks. Myself I would buy an early Canter and do a total rebuild and come out cheaper than a late model one with "problems". Just My idea, Dan.

Ozi- Explorer is the program that runs the "Hema Maps" (maps). If you buy a Hema Gps it has an operating system that runs "Hema Maps". And yes it will run on a tablet if you get the right version of Ozi-Explorer. It can run on Android (this I know) and I believe on Apple products. Go to Ozi...

Ozi-Explorer running Hema maps on a Surface Pro3 mounted on a Ram Pedestal Mount. Use a Garmin Glo bluetooth Gps. Works really well. Dan.

A lot of extra weight to be carrying just for a couple of spare tyres. Keep it simple - Fit them on the rear as you want but keep them light as you can by going with alloy rims. The leverage that you will get ( from the tyre position) will be very little. In your camper setup try to keep the...

Thanks for putting up the follow up on your problem. It is not that it will ever be a problem with my Canter but will certainly be of value to some of the others with latter model trucks. Dan.

Yes a ground anchor would have worked but yet to find one that I like and strong enough to handle the 20,000 lb winch that is fitted. I believe that it is going to be that I have to make one myself in what ever design I think is best. In saying that not all ground anchors are equal in every...

That would be my guess. Dan.

A lot of people don't do Facebook. Dan.

Yes "Alan" sells them and they are rated for our trucks. Send him an Email at "Outback Accessories" (they aren't listed on his web site) or private message on here. I have used my brothers TRED's and won't be using them again as they nearly squashed flat (well wrapped around the tyre). This was...

Yes both diffs and transfer case were sitting on the ground. Certainly would not have driven in there if I didn't have another vehicle around. Anchor points for the winch are not around - reason to travel with at least two vehicle in areas like that. Dan.

Neat setup. Where in Qld. are you? Dan.

Maybe we should say "In Inaction". A little stuck in a salt pan along the Madigan Line. The others in front of me drove round. It sure did look dry and all it took was a little pull only about a metre and it was out. I also didn't really try on my own as I woundn't have looked forward to a...

Yea - NO pics. You aren't here. Good to have you on board and we surely would like to see what you have. Welcome to the forum, Dan.

I run 315/75x16" and before turbo and regearing it had no trouble getting around at a little less revs than you. Will it be a bit different climbing hills - yes but actually it will be running closer in it's torque band which is at lower revs than 3100 Rpm instead of relying on the build up of...

Ram post. You can change height to what you want and bring it closer or further away. I use it to mount my Surface Pro3 but there are a lot of different holders to suit what ever you want. It is bolted to the floor and as you can see it has a stainless plate to help stabilize it that is bolted...
