    No front drive in 4x4. Fg639:(

    Okay 2 vacuum chambers - one is to engage 4WD the other is low range. Try to engage 4WD and give a little assistance on the lever that is attempting to move with a block of wood (NOT BELT the S--- out of it). Could be sticky lever, where it runs through the seals, could be faulty vacuum chamber...

    No front drive in 4x4. Fg639:(

    Okay cable or vacuum shift to the transfer case? Disengage hubs - engine off - if cable shift - climb under and have someone to move shifter in the vehicle while you are rotating front shaft by hand. You won't see anything move as it is all enclosed but you may be able to feel if something is...

    Nps second alternator

    Why wouldn't you run the fridges on 24v. Less current draw. You could also upgrade your alternator to a higher output. Lot less trouble. Redarc also make step down transformers to run your fridges if 12v on 24v system. Welcome to the forum, Dan.

    Radiator splash guard

    That I can't really tell you other than it never made any difference to my running temperature. So I believe the air flow to the radiator is the same or enough. Running along tracks that are only two wheel tracks with grass in between you never know what is hidden in the grass and it only takes...

    Radiator splash guard

    Pretty similar to what I have other than I used 3mm bisalloy plate and actually bent the front edge up a little. For our trip across the desert I added 6mm weave stainless mesh from the leading edge to the front chassis rail to stop spinifex and other objects from staking the radiator. Dan.

    Front Spring Bush Advice Please

    They are lasting well. The set that we fitted to Candy's Canter Has done two off road trips and are still looking good. I haven't fitted a set to mine as I'm using the bushes that I had purchased earlier and only replacing the broken ones till I run out. Dan.

    Well I broke it, in Canada

    ADVENTURE is at the end. Normally we travel with at least one other vehicle and the Canter has no trouble on trails like that. Yes it flexes a lot but I think we should leave this thread and give it back to the OP. Corrugations will shear bolts on spring mounts just from the constant hammering...

    Well I broke it, in Canada

    SkiFreak is on the mark, if there is maybe a road we will probably travel it. Canters can be up there with the best of them offroad. There are some reports that I have written up of my trips in here if you search. Also video on Youtube just look for Canter 4x4 it will come up. My tray main...

    Well I broke it, in Canada

    At this stage my tray is solid mounted as in bolted to the chassis and you should see how much flex I get in the tray. My Camp Boxes are rubber mounted so as not to impart all the flex to the boxes. Spring mounts are certainly called for in a Camper that is fitted to the chassis if you don't...

    4m50 turbo upgrade v2

    I should add that cruise is 18.1. The turbo is a TD05H big16G. It's certainly not smokey at all. Then, I'll try a reset of my Air/Fuel setup and see if we have any difference. Dan.

    4m50 turbo upgrade v2

    When i fitted the first turbo I increased fuel by 1.5 turns which then gave me overfueling up to about 2000Rpm because of low boost (lucky to see 2 or 3 Psi) up to that Rpm. I haven't touched the fuel since then. My air/fuel ratio at this stage is running at 22.3 at idle and running at 13.7...

    4m50 turbo upgrade v2

    I realize that you are running a different engine but not that much. Yes I have the same problem as you that I don't get enough boost down low. The thing is that you need to spool up faster and the only way I know is to have a bigger turbine wheel and lesson the load of the compressor size. With...

    4m50 turbo upgrade v2

    Okay I'm at the other end. I have a TD05H-big 16G 7Cm housing and am going to a TD06SL2-big 16G 8Cm housing. It's my original turbo and fitting a smaller compressor wheel. The setup I'm running now is a lot better than the original choice but I'm running too much drive pressure and this is the...

    Mitsubishi Canter 3 inch Exhaust Brake and System

    Old Thread I know. Testing exhaust brake difference. I have worked out how this can be tested. In my chase for a better Turbo for on my Canter I have fitted a Drive Pressure Gauge (it just measures exhaust pressure in the exhaust manifold before turbo). When you take your foot of the accelerator...

    Diving in Head First!

    I would be lost without our TPMS. It has saved us a lot of money in not wrecking tyres. We use the same ones that are fitted to our valve stems and have never had one ripped off. For myself accuracy in pressure and temperature is not that important - it is the relationship between what is set...

    FGs for sale

    Just sold $4109+GST(10%)+Buyers premium(7.5%). It was close to me putting in a bid but then I would have had to go for a road trip. So decided not to go for it. If I had a bit more time I would have done some more homework on it, sure is a lot of K's. Dan.

    FGs for sale

    I wouldn't fit one to my Canter as it interferes with view when off road and the chance of totally wrecking a laminated screen that you would be held up on a trip I would have to see to believe. And yes I do have one on my Prime mover. Canter windscreens are cheap. Dan.

    Overhead cab storage shelf

    You will need to tie your gear down in an overhead shelf as in mine everything jumps out of the overhead storage as is. Dan.
