Re: September 24th 25th

Installed a Headunit and UHF radio in the 80 series today. What a mission that was! Found out that it has the factory amp in it which meant a lot of googling to figure out how to get around it as 1 pair of wires controlled all the speakers. Got it all fitted up inside the double din slots with a lit...

Re: 80 Series Lockers

Have jacked it up and cant hear the actuator working when i flick the switch.
Are they hard to pull out and bench test. i.e. if i put 12v across the solenoid should it fire?
I assume u test these lockers the same as an Auto locker?
tried it with truck in Neutral and transfer in neutral aswell

80 Series Lockers

Just picked up a triple locked 80 series.
Rear locker doesnt want to engage.
Truck has done 300 000 k's and has most likely never been used.
Front and center both work fine. has any body had this before? Could it be as simple as a stuck actuator solenoid?

Thanks

Correct. A lot of people T into the alt drain but it can back up ####### the turbo.
Best soloution is to braize or tig a fitting on to the sump (I used -10) and ran an AN line to that

Re: Fitting boost compensator to non turbo hilux pump

Finally did this yesterday. Awesome write up really helped.
One trick we found was removing the max fuel screw all together. Made fitting the comp to the 3l pump much easier.
