I have a 96 nz new 2.8 lwb, what a great truck i have owned it 5 years maybe almost 6 and done about 50k in it. only had to do the usual stuff oil brake pads etc, until my trip at new years where we went to wanaka fully loaded with gear and it cracked the head i would say buy one even tho it cracked ...

Hey guys i've finally got the funds together to replace the head on the paj, now can anyone recommend a good mech to do this job for me?
anyone had good/ bad experiences?

Lee

damn thanks for the advice tho guys much appreciated this is guna be costly

damn thats what i was thinking is there anyway to check this? i read on the pocuk site that you can havea look by removing the thermostate cover and see if its bubbling away.

great way to start 2012

ok so on the way back from wanaka the paj started over heating, ended up having to get towed back to chch

so its pressurizing the cooling system, as soon as we put water back in it, it blew it back out, oils not murky any ideas folks???

i'll go have a chat to him anyway thats a start andrew was yours for a 2.8? and what did it cost you and also what symptoms did you have to think this

sweet andrew was it a drive in drive out situation but they could be the go

hey guys i need to find a good diesel mech as i want to get the paj checked over but more importanty get the fuel pump seals done i can't stand it any longer!! i don't want a cheap job just done right and by someone who is honest and experienced

hey guys i've looked everywhere for the front speaker size but with no luck. Can anyone tell me what it is and if anyone has fitted 6.5" speakers in the doors?

cheers jono i might take you up on that offer even someone else having a drive might be able to compare, might be time for a boost guage and see how much it runs and i have a programable boost controller which may be able to help get the boost on early and stronger something to look into anyway. but ...

"LOL Sluggish and Pajero are two words commonly found in the same sentence" damn!! so i checked the air filter since i havn't cleaned it since i put the unifilter in and thats around 10k km and yes it was filthy but i did notice there was a bit of oil around it in places, seemed like engine oil but ...
