    Canter truck bits for sale

    My idea is post it here as it Canter related and probably not of interest to anyone else. I for one don't go and look at the for sale section because there is nothing that is of interest to me there. Dan.

    Warning for 2012+ in regard to DEF nozzle

    I'm glad I have an earlier model as all that wouldn't last long on mine but that's progress. Dan.

    Suspension mod

    They have pretty much covered it (with pics) but yes if your shackle is straight up and down then it takes quite a hit to get it to move and that is felt in the seats. Mine are very much like Steve's and I have 75mm clearance from bump stop. Hey Steve your diff breather line needs to be made...

    Mitsubishi gearbox

    Not caused by taking it off road. Like said it has just come undone, shouldn't happen but has. Unless there was other damage done to the box when it locked up, you wouldn't have needed to have it rebuilt because that is very little mileage for the box. Learn to work on the truck yourself, it is...

    Mitsubishi Canter 3 inch Exhaust Brake and System

    While we are on this my thinking today is I wonder if the angle of the butterfly is what may be a problem. Creating not equal pressure on both halves !. We will find out, Dan.

    Mitsubishi Canter 3 inch Exhaust Brake and System

    No. When I converted Candy's there is no extra length in the movement of the cylinder to be able to change leverage point and it is adjusted to fully close. You could be right but my take is that there is no pressure on the other side of the butterfly (actually possibly vacuum) and this is...

    Mitsubishi Canter 3 inch Exhaust Brake and System

    My take on this (lack of exhaust brake) is that the vacuum chamber is not strong enough to hold it closed. A way to find out if this is the case is set up a video camera to watch what is going on when you engage the exhaust brake. This is the same problem with Candy's Canter. I have been looking...

    Then I would believe you are not stuck and can still drive or the engine is not running. Dan.

    Mitsubishi Canter 3 inch Exhaust Brake and System

    Exhaust brake unit should be before the the flexible coupling there by not having any undue pressure from the exhaust. Dan.

    THE TRIP - Cape York 2015

    We will keep the vids coming. We are just organizing this years run (leaving Gladstone on the 7th August at this stage) and it will back up to the Top and finish our last trip. Candy's Canter is on the road just, we still need to change over the camp box and a few extras. It certainly is nice...

    1996 FG 639 dual cab tidy up

    I've seen a dual cab Canter with a Turbo fitted above the manifold (standard setup) and there wasn't much room and a lot of heat was transferred to the floor (from the exhaust) as there isn't much air circulation up there. Fitting it under slung like I'm doing would take it further from the...
