matt sounds good, sunday arvo??

arr yes the wonderful bench mark 40.. Great truck, great heavy pig of a thing that you'll have to drive in serious anger to kill. there is a saying, the only thing faster than a cruiser is the body rust and yep they're either growing or showing! it all can be repaired without too much cost, the most ...

hey matt what time?
The water has dryed up out of my head light, so I better put some river water back in it again and get it nice and dirty for steve when he puts my winch on next week

no driving on winch, when your trying to reel your stuck nissan out of a bog hole if you've got a PTO you can't put your foot down and get yr wheels driving as well. If you had an electric winch you could assist by trying to drive out of it! Shear pin, yep seen it. V sad. it is designed to take the ...

I can't really base my reply on knowledge, merely observation. I've only just purchased my first winch! If you want out right balls to the wall grunt then the PTO is the answer. So long as you don't keep throwing the sheer pin! Aye Dave Both nissan and the mighty Toyota do PTO's... Ponder this... If ...

Cheers steve, I'll ignore the old bus snype for now. I'll do abit of digging and see what I can find. Why am I changing it? well when my winch goes on the front I fear it might restrict the air flow so to get around this I need to increase the suck so to speak. The existing fan on the viscus unit ...

I've got a 2H D in my 40, I'm thinking of fitting a couple of electric fans... one in front of the radiator and the other behind. Thus removing the viscuss unit. I’m not sure how the temp circuit works? i.e. turns on and off at a set temp. Does anyone know who sells such a devise that I could wire i ...

Thanks for a great day, enjoyed it heaps.
Apart from getting wet right at the start the lad are looking forward to the next one this weekend??

Thanks guys.

I'd been keen to come along too if it's not already over subscribed?

I had this issue on a honda as well, it felt like a shaking at a certain speed, if I increased / decreased is went away.
It turned out it was a drive shaft uni bearing or two...

Does it do it at idle or only driving?
Does it smoke less / more before problem started? I assume it's a diesel here

hellbound, I'm sorry!
You too will be soon.

That's all one needs to say really!
