Re: Which Bighorn or MU

All vehicles have bad habits - I figure the best thing to do is pick the one you like and make it capable and reliable. All the main MU bad points have been covered. Weakish CV's, shit alternator, hard to get the engines in and out. All things that can be overcome (solid axle and commy V6 :D). Steve

Re: Which Bighorn or MU

The alternators are a pig... they have a very bad reputation and it is well deserved (I have changed a couple, so I know... having left much of my own personal DNA in the ones I did). Tight and low, and a poor design that does not last. The commy option would be a good one as they are a high-output ...

Re: Which Bighorn or MU

They are thirsty, but otherwise reliable engine-wise... the auto's can give trouble and are a right bastard (as are the engines) to get out if needed... actually, Isuzu's one major downfall is the way they pack everything in. Awesome when they go, but a bugger to fix. If fuel costs are an issue, the...

Would that work if you were in 'manual' mode, top gear and you braked almost to a standstill... if the manual lockup was reactivated automatically in that situation what would happen then? I'm certainly no whizz on autos, but that seems like a bad idea. Maybe an easily accessible lockup button with ...

Yep Dave - you're right... any 8" 2-pinion diff (not an LSD diff, they require a different model)...

Re: terrano body lift

It depends on what model terrano you have - some of them were unibody construction (around mid-late 90's from memory?) and can't be body lifted.
