Hey Guys, Im about to undergo some maintenance on my 96 Challenger. Including replacing the Radiator, Water Pump, Thermostat, and Timing Chain (kit), Rocker Head Gasket. Just a quick question, it was suggested that I should do the oil pump too, is this worth doing? Im not entirely convinced?? Any ...

Hi Guys, I have just put in new tough dog heavy duty torsion bars and new shocks in my Challenger (Running a MCC Bar and Runva Winch), Im trying to get the most lift possible in the front to match the rear, (about 4') Im about and inch or so shy so Im looking to fit some Ball Joint Spacers as ...

Hi GWH, Ive got the 2.8tD 1996 Challenger, absolutely love it. Great truck to drive - its done 220 odd k Ive done my share of preventative maintenance on it and it runs like a dream, blows zero smoke and would have to be one of the quietest, most comfortable diesels Ive driven. Cheap to run also ...

Its looking that way mate,

I can see it being a busy week comming up, thanks guys for the help too! Much appreciated, gives me somewhere to start!

Cheers!

Cheers Guys,

Coxsy, a few questions around lockers. Im considering just putting in an auto Lokka in the front as the price is considerably less! Are these any good? Would you recommend them? What sort of starting price would I be looking at for Air Lockers?

After doing some research, Im leaning towards some Cooper STT's to be honest. Just need to free up some cash, the new bar/winch/lift and body lift has sucked up a considerable amount!!

My 96 Challenger is getting a bit Sluggish on the hills and is getting notibly worse, Ive just done the Injectors/Glow Plugs/ had the Valves/Tappets checked etc by the pros. Have just serviced also and nothing seems to have made much of a difference? Fuel pump has been replaced (some time ago) I ...

Good to know! Cheers! Learning.. Slowly!

Thanks mate, Ive been looking through sites all over and cant find a definitive answer..
Do you know how do some 12v winches work on 24v to allow for faster pulling? and how is the current converted from 12 to 24? Ballast/inverter??

Sorry Mate, just checking old posts and noticed the reply, I sourced it through Otago Tyres here in Dunedin it looks good but was a real beatch to install to be honest, Im sure its just a cheapo from China, if I were to get another one id look up E-Bay AU and get a proper Safari Snorkel for an MK ...

Hi Guys, this questions probably been asked a dozen times but here goes. Im about to install a Runva 11,000lb winch on my PA Challenger and want to put in a Dual Battery Setup to cope with the load, obviously il be running the winch of the Secondary battery. Is it better to opt for a deep cycle or ...

Thanks guys, your dead right. Was the temp sensor.
Have gone with an after market plug system to confinue to pulse for a few seconds after starting. Should hopefully do the trick!

I replaced my Challengers glow plugs in December, found today that 3 of the 4 have burnt out!

I spent the extra cash at the time and replaced them with genuine Mitsubishi ones 75 odd bux a pop.

(insert 4 letter word here) ...

Any one had this issue before? I'm thinking maybe sensor issue? Ideas?

Deciding to put a set of STT's on my Challenger, currently looking at either a set of 305/70/16 or 285/75/16.

My question is, is it better to go as wide as you can fit or am I better off pocketing the difference and save the cash?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi guys, new to the whole forum thing (hopefully doing it correctly) Based in Dunedin, Keen to get involved in any groups etc. Ive got a 1996 Mitsy Challenger, bought from Auckland (never seen a dirt track in its life - fantastic condition for its age) Had it for two years now and just starting to ...
