x3 on thrust bearing, just did my clutch and gearbox recently.

I had the same problem when my truck was idling, soon as replaced I replaced the clutch problem fixed.

Good luck with it

X2 sounds like thrust bearing

thrust bearing, replace it and get a new clutch while you have it open

I remember changing an engine in a laser years ago and the old engine had left the exhaust full of oil so i took it down to the industrial area at night one lap was about 3 klm.s and i could barely...

Maybe a decent run at hwy speed might burn some soot off but as Nissannewby said problem could be elsewhere. originally I thought you were having a choof then decided the exhaust needs cleaning, hey...

What sort of smoke mate? Not a great deal you can do to clean an exhaust out other than replace it. If your getting smoke your problem will lie elsewhere.

i just had the Tappets done on my GUIV TD42Ti and although they only needed slight adjustment it made a big difference to the noise on start up and overall the engine seems happier. I had it Dyno...

Hi mate, have a read of this below....The first post is for the TB42 but keep reading the rest and it will help you out.

You should be able to see if the bushes are cracked or split just by looking over them, and you can test your shocks by disconnecting the bottom and seeing how fast they drop (thats the only way i...

Unlock when on the road in 2wd and lock when you engage 4wd for dirt, rock, mud etc.

Definitely based on your description of use i'd be going a Micky Thompson ATZ 5 Rib for the perfect tyre for your car.Great on the road, they are a Light Truck Rated tyre i think and will still get...

If just doing bitumen driving AT will be good and still go ok off road but at the same time you can get some MT that aren't super aggressive and good for on road as well.
Really just comes down to...

I've got cooper stt's. They are ment to be a mud tyre but are a little less aggressive than similar mud tyres e.g. Mickey Thompson mtz's or bfg mud tyres. But I find they wear better. I do 400ks on...

Whatever you choose rotating them every 5-10k is crucial for longivety (do mine every 5k including the spare)

Running MTZ (mud) on my patrol and wife's prado great all round tyre. Both cars do get used for offload also
If most of your driving is on road with occasional mud/rock/sand an a/t such as the...

You get high mileage out if the TB42 as well. Both TB42 and TD42 have the same tough as nails bottom end. My TB42 has over 420 000 kms on it. The head has been replaced in 2007.

Tap, crackle, pop

I have never had either engine just going on what people say here. petrol or gas you won't get the miliage from it litre to litre compared to a diesel. Diesel is easier to get out bush compared to...

So, not split rims. I'd go tubeless.

being used for what, Toha?

I think the main reason people go for tubes and split rims is easier to reseat the bead when out and about.

Tubeless types would argue to use a rope patch for temp...

It would be easier and you may even make some money out of selling the diesel and buying a petrol. There are lots of petrol/gas patrols for sale but not many diesels.

Hi Toha, yes you can do that and I see you found the other post about the conversion and things needed, etc.

I have to ask though why are you swapping to to TB42....Normally people are after the...

I had this issue in my old petrol hilux it turned out to be heat soak through to the carby so fitted a new gasket which stopped it, can't remember what it was made of sorry.

Old girl tends to run on after shutdown would i be rite in thinkin that its the pump timing?

Pretty much all the differences have been listed above. It really comes down to personal choice and the type of driving you do. You should just have a drive of both and feel any differences for...

The compressor on my TB42 is seized, trying to find a replacement, I've checked it at work and the RB30 and TB42 compressors are the same, but a new one is pretty exxy, even at my cost price.
