So it's been a couple of weeks now and you know when you do some major work you are always listening for those strange sounds. Now I have noticed, after the engine warms up a little the a very faint random ticking sound appears from the bottom end. It doesn't tick all the time, just very randomly. S...

Cheers for the advice and parts guys. Any idea on how long the ACL bearing shells should last? Change again after another 300,000km or every 100,000km ?

It's all done and is a bit quieter. Was fairly straight forward, just bloody messy lying under the truck getting them all in.

Let it breath. The most significant difference to mine was making a 3 inch expansion chamber from the turbo, that reduces down to a 2.5inch straight through exhaust. The intake also needs a little help and so open it up a little. The standard airbox isn't really good enough. If you're thinking of do...

I haven't tried it myself, but the engine, trans and transfer all together is such a large object, I doubt you could easily slide it out in one go. The weight distribution would be terrible and angle you would need to tilt it making it almost impossible to get out in one go.

I have all the manuals in electronic version.
Do you have somewhere I can upload it, or do I need to find a place?

Cheers

Now time to drill and easy-out the broken stud. They ccome out pretty easy as they would have been loose before they broke off..

Hi, If you need some more these are an option. http://www.4wdstuff.co.nz/knuckles-hubs/trail-gear-super-metal-knuckle-stud-hardware-kit-10-studs-10-nuts-10-wave-washers-6-co Cheers Tim Looks like a good kit Tim. Shall see you next time about it;-) For now I got a couple of replacements from BJ auto.

Have just taken the nuts off the studs and even the studs are loose. When you tighten the nuts it may seem to have fixed the problem, but check the studs also. They have a star shaped end which a 9mm socket seems to fit nicely. Not sure if there is a special socket for it. Now time to drill and easy...

After a bit of a shock finding a broken stud, this is a warning for all cruiser owners.

Please check these as they are known for loosening and then snapping the studs. One cruiser owner only had one left.
Hate to think of the consequences.

Check them now!

Cheers for the info and offers guys.

I think I've found what I was looking for. The below information mentions to match the bearing numbers against the crank shaft and connecting rod numbers.
Do the bearing kits all have numbered bearings?

Hi All I'm preparing to replace the BEBs on my 1HDT that's done 308k's. Just had a few queries..... Is there a special number matching system that needs to be noted when ordering the BEBs for your specific engine and stamped info on the shells to identify their positions? This part isn't quite clear...

Solved my problem. Picked up a 5 seat VX Cruizer. Since the kids are still fairly young I'm going to use the 5 point harness option for the middle position. Once they get over 35kg I'll install the 3rd row. Adding a 3 point belt to the center just isn't viable. Just Cruisers down south sell the 3 se...

OK, so just an update.
I've decided to modify the setup slightly and now have a arduino micro-computer that has been programmed to control the trans in place of the TCU. In addition I'm going with a modified up/down ratchet shifter which will only allow a single gear change per smack of the shifter.

Good Idea!!! a mate just said have to muck about with shifter for 4wd,said it was a price,any truth to it? If you are doing a body lift, then you may find that you need to cut the channel of the 2WD - 4WD selector a bit to give it more travel. Or it won't quite engage into 4WD-Low. I had to cut the...

Surprisingly true.
I did go with the straight through 2.5inch in the end. Sounds fine to me and Mr WOF.
I also had to rebuild the little 1.4 Astra exhaust and those things are bloody obnoxious in comparison.

Good to see you have the D21 still. Thought you sold it.

I have two ODO's. PM me your number again and I can pinpoint exactly what you need from it.

Those tapers should be the same shouldn't they, 2wd and 4WD? I was (until some time back) using the same steering box and idler arm on the 4WD center-link and then installed the 2WD center-link with no issues with the taper. Not sure if year of manufacturer makes a difference, but did you get your s...

Oooo, not good.

Thanks Peter and Dan, I had word last night that my mate managed to get it running again. He was very lucky, a couple of broken glow plugs, sucked all the water out of the bores and surprisingly it's alive again.
Later down the track it might show signs of other issues.
