Hey mate, I run a 40lt engel from a 105 AH aux battery charged via a red arc SBI12 solenoid, from what I've seen my mates 50lt waeco uses similar power to my engel so in theory at least my set up at...

A couple of thoughts about the 4.8 into GQ, I noticed that GVM is only 2800kg on the RB30 powered GQ, whereas it is about 3150 or so on the 4.2, (makes sense due to the much heavier engine and...

Hey Dom,

From my memory (been a long while since I rebuilt an engine), a low compression reading that increases with oil being injected into the cylinder is an indication of worn piston rings....

Hey Mudnut,

As you know I have an RB30 too. I have done quite a few steep hills, including some... interesting... wheel lifts (front and rear) in my rig. The below is just my experience with my...

Well I dropped past the auto shop yesterday and picked up a new timing light that actually works, unlike my old one, so have had a bit of a tinker.

First of all, I tried taking off the vacuum...

A quick bit of info for the thread, I recently changed my fan, power steering and air con belts as the old ones were looking worn. Maybe everyone else with an RB30 already knows this, but just in...

Looking very good Kallen, that's the same type of camper I've been considering.

I agree with Dom, it must be really well tuned!

Changed my drive belts, greased all the grease points, did an underbody / loose bolt check, replaced my fan clutch (only 2 years old :-( grrr), rotated my wheels, and had the joy of finding that not...

Just a suggestion based upon the choice I made for remote Comms.

I looked at sat phones both new and second hand, and considered a spot device, as I wanted an epirb device too.

In the end I...

I haven't tried the Mickey T's or Coopers, but I do have approx 15000 k's on my 32x11.5x15 BFG KO2's and I love them.

My experience has been - No punctures / staking (touch wood)!! and excellent...

Hey Dom,

I've been running 98 in my GQ rb30 wagon almost exclusively for the past 2 years or so, pretty much unless I cant get it and have to go for standard. (I try and chuck a bottle of octane...

Wow, I have to ask, how much power would you be putting through this box to justify that sort of spend? I'm guessing that isn't changing the gearing?

I've seen them recoed for about $1300 exchange...
