Sweet that sounds like the business. H.d. will be better thsn the low stall. Although that will help keep it engaged which will then help trans temps

Hi All Anyone have any real life experiences using a low stall converter in their diesel powered trucks? Looking at getting one from Aussie for my Landcruiser Prado. As the factory one is struggling with more torque from engine mods. Cheers Calvin Yep suit bigger diesels tho. Low stall units are fi...

Fyi 25% loss of cooling per core. Better to go bigger then thicker. I found the y60 or vx80 rads are only 3 core but and lot bigger than old fj40/60/70 rads and cooled v8 way better than the custom rads i had made to fit the same space as the o.e. Had to mod the front to fit etc but she dont get hot...

Link to the kit I got. Have got parts from them before and have always been pleased with service and quality.

mudlva

Awesome can you post the link with part numbers.
Cheers

I would have thought that if they supply a kit to fit my model cruiser then all the bits supplied should go straight in. If it requires a different (ie after market) spindle then that should be supplied in the kit or at the very least stated that an after market spindle needs to be purchased in ord...

mudlva

The needle roller set up was supplied at first as aftermarket replacements. Best of my knowledge was it fitted into a new spindle hub assembly that was made to house the bearings. Unless the rollers come with some kind of housing set up i would guess that i will not fit into a std cruiser. That said...

To the god squad gvm is gvm as in gross vehicle mass or max loaded vehicle simple. Gcm isnt gvm plus gtm. Gcm is gross combined so the tow vehicle may need to off load if towing a gtm trailer to get under gcm. Currently studing gsl booklet. Biggest issue here is that the vehicle would need that info...

Airs the ticket. It will hold it ready to pop to free. Quick tap reverse and it should pop straight out. It will hold the gear pressed ready to engaged and as soon as aligned it will pop back in. Will be way better than cable imho

mudlva

yep that works

Wekl my 3fe was gutless as fark. It was running an auto but after i had a heap of work done it still struggled to turn my 33 and died on 35s. Thru a 400sbc into it.

That would be a good candidate for a LS1 transplant. Would end up cheaper on fuel than a 3fe motor which is a gutless p.o.s motor

Sweet the test is in the real world operation.
Wondering if you could mount it in some form of staple or bracket to stop it form turning. Just a thought...

mudlva

um yeah but naaah... the hub will turn so it will eventually wind up the rope or similar to a point where it will pull it to free spool. even installing a swivel my guess once full of mud would bind and then start creating issues.

nice job on the rest tho

mudlva

dont know about cert side of it but it looks like a real tidy conversion imho

mudlva

Theres 2 differant co that do them. Cannot remember their names tho....
Also try marks adaptors

mudlva

Looks like its the timing in the fuel pump. I've got a little inspection port in the fuel pump with a mark that should match up with tdc on no.1, but it's showing on no.6. I think they've set it to tdc on 6 not realising they needed another complete rotation of the cam to match it to no.1. Thank's ...

Do you guys have pickapart down in cc?
Otherwise go to scrappy that deals in vehicle crushing. Could possibly get them for scrap prices

38psi f&r. I push her hard and tyres grip well at that pressure. Tyres are warm after long trips so pressures must be about right.
Dont get any real sidewall sway and still pull up in the wet

In short mate your good to go. I'm sure if you did some technical calcs you may see a change in fuel usage, but r50s suck a bit of fuel anyway. I've run 31" muds on a r50 no worries. Wof will be fine. Buy the 31s and buy some manual locking hubs which will help with fuel use I do a lot of high...
