Starting to look at winches for my Fuso and a bull bar for it to fit. Thinking of using Dyneema ropes for safety and ease of operation. What is out there, WARN, Runva etc., pros and cons and reliability? My FUSO setup is going to be at about 5.5 T max, what is the rule of thumb winch rating I...

Here is the photo of the actuator after I have cleaned and lubricated it with Lanotec and Inox. It was rusted and with dirt inside the rubber cover through and through. The actuation arm is actually pitted, to give you an idea of how rusted it was.

Hi, Been busy for a while trying to sort out the fitting out and "engine sys" problems, but now is the time to update the situation. The disengagement problem turns out to be just a matter of driving the vehicle for a short distance after pressing the button, then it takes effect. Now I have...

Thanks mate. Shall be reading it in more details.

About to install a couple of sky vents. As there are different sizes etc., wondering what are the issues when selecting and installing them. My simple parameters at the moment are - rainproof, wind safe, with fan, insect-proof, adjustable opening. Anything else? Is size an issue, after...

I actually look forward to the day when we have 4 separate electric motors on each wheel, that would be real 4x4, but that may be anathema. No diff, no locks, no transmission, few mechanical parts. Everything electronics, just swapping electronic cards in and out when faulty. And plenty of...

Wait until the day everything is done with APPS....:p:p:eek::eek: Multiple points of vulnerability.

True. Not being a mechanical minded person, don't even know how to start. :cry::cry:

Hi All, Re: disengagement mechanism Before I go and start taking the vacuum relays circuit apart and probing around why the disengagement does not work, I wonder if the disengagement is done by a kick-back mechanism in the transfer case which only works if the truck is moving? The reason I...

Hi All Finally got it sorted, nearly anyway. I now have the actuation working, but not the retraction, I think the worst that could be is one of vacuum solenoids is not working, let's see. The main issue other than perished rubber tubings etc., is the blockage of the"junction" that connects...

By reading through the service manual, I gathered that the vacuum pump is part of the oil pump, if that sludge is engine oil, that may mean the pump is faulty, causing oil to flood through, hope not? I shall be tracing it tomorrow. starting from the pump forward. Does anyone know, if the turbo...

I am posting a couple of photos here, and see if anyone can throw any light on what they are. They are all connected to the vacuum network. First of all, I would like to locate the source of the vacuum.

Just an update, but perhaps someone might know something. Tracing the vacuum hose upstream. discovered no vacuum suction at all at the input steel tube. Try to check if it is cleared, so undo the rubber hose connecting to it just underneath the driver-side chassis rail. Upon undoing the hose...

Thanks BigSky, great descriptions. I think my solenoids look pretty crusty as well, they may well be the problem That's my next step, whilst busy doing so many other things. I was wondering, with the above picture, is that the FULL travel of the actuation rod to engage the 4x4. I just want to...

Thanks. That would be my last resort. At this stage, I can use my finger to push and pull the actuator after de-rusting, cleaning and lubricating with Lanotec. At least the 4x4 light has come on now. I shall persevere with cleaning the rest of the vacuum system, just replaced all the hoses...

There is nothing looking remotely like it anywhere, such a big tank. Does yours have one ? cheers

I have not idea as I just bought the truck and getting acquainted with it. Shouldn't they all have one ? Not being a diesel person, I have no idea if it is a standard thing. cheers

Where is the DEF tank? On the owner's manual, I read about the need to maintain the DEF Adblue level etc. But I can not find where the tank is, and also my dash had the DEF level darken, ie not lit. Any ideas? Comment

Thank you. Learning it. Will be back for more questions after reading more. cheers
