They were telling me it will run hotter with the low stall in it? I thought it would be cooler as well due to not as much slip? I think 80° is ideal temp in the pan?
I threw another cooler in series with the factory cooler. Dropped the temps a bit, hottest she got was 105° after a long uphill section heading out of Perth, and seems to sit around 80-90° on the...
She’s all up and running again :)
They ended replacing the transmission with a refurbished unit, also a new torque converter and factory cooler. It was apparently all in a hell of state due to heat...
I had no hope of fitting the Redarc 1”4 inch sensor in there. I also have a Redarc 1/8” sensor but the probes are just too long in that location. I think with no fluid flowing they’d suffer the same...
I had suspected there was no flow, but couldn’t work out why. I was thinking a stuffed pump, or low fluid or something. I’ll ask them in more detail when I pick it up, but was told on the phone it...
The results are in!
4th Gear was destroyed due to a lack of lubrication. They tell me that one of the FMIC pipes was pushing against the trans cooler hose and squashed it to the point it was...
Never engaged while shifting gears, I’d only used the lockup switch once to see if it was working after the mods had been done. Had it engaged for about a minute or so around 15 or 20 minutes prior....
Everything I’ve researched prior to doing the turbo/intake etc mods, indicated it should be no problems with a JD trans stage 2 valve body, destalled converter from Allfast in WA and a HD Flexplate....
The temp sensor is pre-cooler, but it was a pretty easy run, just cruising and not many hills between my place and where it failed. It’s only done around 500 very easy kms since the upgrades. I’m...
Not a happy Easter camper!
Was heading up to Kalbarri for the weekend as a shakedown trip after spending a ton of money on upgrades including HD Flex Plate Low stall torque converter, stage 2...
Pushing some good numbers now the ZL30 Turbo and tune with an Alphatec module have been fitted.
Different beast to drive now, very happy with it! I think the best mod I’ve done is the transmission...
For that sort of money, I’d forget going any top mount and go a Front mount intercooler instead. Fabwitz industries or DatsCool on Facebook have various options. They are a bit harder to fit but well...
Just got the patrol (2016 CRD) back after a 4 week wait due to a hold up with parts. Had the full Fabwitz FMIC/Snorkel/Intake Pipework/Airbox fitted along with a destalled Torque converter/Heavy duty...
When was that done? My understanding is that GCM upgrades couldn't be done anymore, but they do keep shifting the goal posts in various states I guess.
Its also worth noting, as this is in the caravan and campers section, a GVM upgrade won't give you a GCM upgrade if that's what you're chasing for towing?
I had the pedders 3505kg GVM Upgade done prior to first registration on my 2016 LE GU CRD, I'm still running it today. It does the job, but its a pretty hard ride if not loaded. My rear diff was...

The tanks were repaired about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and it’s only done around 220km or so since then with no issues. The day before the warning light came on, I’d pumped about 10 or 15 litres from the...
Yep, I wouldn’t have thought draining and cleaning a tank prior to re-installing it would be a hard task. Pretty disappointed and now worried about any further damage to the injection system.
Had the long range tanks in my GU CRD Patrol repaired after smashing them both on some rocks. The workshop had flushed them with water prior to welding and then tested them for leaks with water prior...
Try swapping the vaccum lines with each other at the diff. If it disengages, then you'll know you have a solenoid problem.
I noticed while testing it gets quite hot on the outside, a lot hotter than my small TB oven ever got, but it also gets a lot hotter inside than the small TB. I'll throw the temp gun on it when I go...
I installed my Big Bertha Oven on the cargo barrier. Should be able to do a nice roast in this sucker while driving to camp.

Getting my first pay in 11years without having to handover a sizeable chunk in Child Support makes me extremely happy!
My youngest turned 18 so we blew a chunk of cash on a pub crawl instead of...
