Thanks, SkiFreak. My only experience with a water tank is using rental Troopies, my Landcruiser only use a manual system. Troopies seem pressurised to me, but perhaps there is an accumulator where the pump operates when the level is below a certain threshold. See if I understand it correctly...

Looking into installing a fresh water tank system using one of two tanks, wondered if using PUSH method ( Pressurized tanks ) or PULL ( suction water pumps ) is better. Could someone share their experiences? cheers

You are correct, that's why I am asking the question of whether I should apply positive pressure differentials.

My understanding is atmospheric pressure is at 15 psi = 760 mm Hg = 30 in of Hg. Total vacuum is 0. According to the service manual, the actuator works with 500 mm Hg vacuum, which means about 9 psi. Actually, the pressure difference between that and atmospheric is 6 psi negative pressure. I...

Slowly working to trace the problem, it seems at least the actuator arm is rusty and pitted. There are plenty of sand rubbish inside the rubber sock covering the actuator arm. But could not take it ap art to really clean it, only now able to use my finger to clean it with a lot of Innox and wipe...

Ski Freak....you are correct. I learned that with my Landcruiser after the first round Australia trip, that I must do all these exercises at home. That's what I am going through now. The more problems I have now, the more I learned. I just discovered that there is no suction at all even with...

Hi Kerry, does it need to be crimped to maintain the vacuum afterwards, or just let go after the actuator worked. Then suck again to release it again.

Does it need to be sucked very hard? It may not be such a bad solution.

Thanks to all of your inputs. I guess, if all else failed, manual operation is the way, I'll give that a try too instead of fixing something that could be precarious later anyway. cheers

Sorry guys, it was a remiss of me not to give more details. I now have them, the tyres I have at the moment are TOYO 608Z 285/70R19.5. I am looking for a spare wheel possibly with either the same tire or a new type of ALL Terrain tyres better suited for touring into the outback. I previously...

I have a workshop manual for the chassis, in the Transfer section, it does not have anything in details regarding the vacuum actuator system, other than mentioning its existence. Unless there is another manual which I should go for.

Hi, just needed some recommendation for FGB71 Canter tyres, I have single tyres for the rear. The "new" truck I have does not come with a spare wheel, so perhaps someone can point to a source of wheel supply in NSW would be great. cheers

Hi, just started working on my transfer case vacuum actuation problem, ie, no response after pressing the 4WD switch. I noticed that there is a plastic bottle attached to a T-joint with rubber hoses, the two sides of the T-joint connect to two solenoids valves ( I believe ?? ) hidden behind a...

Quote 4d34 engine has a vacuum pump on the front of the block. Don’t know about other engines UnQjuote Hi Kerry, engine run, or electrical ?

Thanks everyone. I shall look into it more once this RAINY X'mas is over. Yes it is raining right now. Also, I was wondering whether it is actually a "vacuum" actuation, or is "pressure" actuation? The reason I ask is if there are also other leaks in the system, e.g. the metal tubings, how...

Thanks for everyone's input. Yep, I don't think it is an electrical problem with the indicator light, at least at this stage. The front propeller can rotate 4x4 mode. I checked the vacuum hose, at least one is cracked, the one nearest the DPF (?), So I'll go and replace the hoses when Repco...

Just picked up a 2013 Canter, which has about 22,000 Km on the clock, and has been sitting in someone's backyard for the last 2.5 years. When I pushed the 4x4 switch, the 4x4 indicator does not come on, where should I start looking? Looks the last owner had never used 4x4. It could either be...
