Love the pictures. Dan.

Depends on year model. Earlier models had slightly smaller studs. I believe 19mm. I'm not sure of date change over but I'm saying pre-2001. Dan.

That is more or less what I was going to say and I won't expand on it, to get into an argument. Dan.

I have looked into getting fuel drops done in the desert where we want to go. There are no airstrips and I could find no-one that would do an airdrop into the region. I couldn't even find info from anyone that has done fuel drops on a few survival/outdoors forums on the net. Parts , yes that...

No, My engineer that I was working with broke a vertebrae in his neck while on holidays in NSW and never returned home. Survived as far as I know and now lives close to family (kids) . I've not been able to find another that will work with me, they all want to do the job themselves which all...

That certainly was a well done video. Loved it, please keep them coming. Dan.

That was a great read, also loved the pics. Dan.

I'm always looking at your thread and videos. Yes Please keep them coming, I greatly enjoy them. Dan.

The beads are actually different sizes in the packet and not all really round. Average about 3mm in size. Of the top of my head can't remember the brand I used but they are poor quality stainless because I use a magnet to collect them out of the old tyre to put into the new ones. Don't see any...

1 oz per 10 lbs of tyre or part there of. So 72lb tyre gets 8 ozs. Don't skimp on them but going stupid won't help either. I use stainless beads and change them from tyre to tyre when doing tyre change. Porcelain beads do grind them selves down from rubbing on them selves and tyre sand sort of...

My belief is that the 4D33 engine never came turboed so it is neither a replacement or an improvement of the turbo. It is certainly an improvement of the engine performance. Dan.

Looks like my 24v wiring diagram is the same as supplied. Dan.

It is strange that it is an internal spline and not able to be lubricated. But if that is the way the engineers have designed it they know better than me. That mating surface of transfer case to gearbox looks like it is sealable. The dark line on the join looks like it has had slight movement in...

Thanks. The drawings help me understand how it goes together. Totally different to the earlier setups. But as you say it doesn't give the finer understanding of the mating surfaces of transfer case to gearbox. By looking at the drawings, I still say that the spline should be oiled by seepage...

Yes , that is totally had it as well. It is a different setup all right and only slides into that spline and is not really held in tight. In reality it looks like it should pick up oil seepage from transfer case oil. There is nothing to stop it from "working" on that spline. Bad design I'll...

Okay, now I'm lost. Yes, that certainly is a lot of wear and possibly from lack of lubrication. It doesn't even look like an internal shaft by the crude on it. What year model is your truck. Do you have a model number for your gearbox because that is not the same as our gearbox output shafts...

I know Syncros can be fitted into our boxes (over here) to be able to have syncro on 1st gear. Certainly would be handy when 4WDing in the rough. The hub (1st/reverse) that is in there is slotted for them to fit in there. So yes, you end up with syncro for reverse as well. When I had a customers...

The wear on that spline will certainly give you a bad clunking sound on acceleration and deceleration. It will resonate through the gearbox and transfer case and will sound like it is all coming apart. It will also throw everything out of line in the rear gearbox bearing and you will get...

If your box is the same as the earlier boxes which I believe more or less it is. That rear gearbox bearing has no problem getting lubricated by splash feed. It is not supposed to be a sealed bearing. It is lubricated from the gearbox side as the seal is in the transfer case. Only know of one...

The stock rims are not wide enough for 315/75r16 tyres. You have to use tubes as they are split rims. They will be that bulged out in the side walls and will be kissing when mounted as duals. You may get away with 8.25x16"s if you keep the pressure up. 9.00x16"s definitely kiss in dual setup...
