I can confirm that with the Y60 Safaris. My 91 has a full-flow and a bypass filter. My wife's 92 has two full-flow filters. The 92 has no EGR but the 91 has the EGR. I confirmed that 92 was...

I've don it a number of times to replace water pumps, AC tensioner bearings and belts. I always pop off the top shroud. It is nice to have a small 3/8 or 1/4 inch drive air ratchet to spin the...

I ended up doing this. Both of my rad hose were partially plugged - just allowing drips to come out. If yours is the same, I recommend pulling the rad and having it professionally cleaned. Also,...

Both of my Y60s developed 1-2cm gaps on the lower left-hand corner. I fixed them both with a bit of black silicon seal. I cleaned the area with rubbing alcohol using a Qtip and injected it right...

I am planning to pull mine and have the rockers reground this July when i am off work. The rockers have had divits in them since I bought the Safari off an importer. They were never properly...

70% coolant to 30% water is about max for most coolants. Up here it gives the max freeze protection.

Mine second 4B is actually hers - another Y60 Safari.

I am willing to throw Link some slack over there. Yes, he's been away and things may not have been as good as they could have been. But chit happens and a guy has to take care of his life before a...

I'll second that. We've a ton of info over there specific to the Safaris and to importing and running them in Canada. It would be a shame to lose all of that.

Thanks for the tip Gec. I did a search on Outerlimits and found two threads of use. These two companies are supposed to make adapters for the TD4.2 to mate to a Turbo 400/700 tranny....

A friend of mine is considering swapping in a TD4.2 to his Cruiser. It already has a Chev/GM sm420 transmission. Does anyone know if anyone makes an adapter for a swap with a Chev/GM transmission...

Oh man you are gonna regret that. I am sure it is not logged into the female memory hard drive that never breaks down and is instantly retrievable during any argument regardless if it is relevant or...

Just spray it with some rust converter, rust spray paint and then coat it in oil occasionally.

I missed that. I agree, the issue is not likely the hubs. If you are sure the gear selector is out of 4H and the linkage is okay, then it is likely a tcase issue. When last did he have it in 4WD?

I figured you had a momentary brain lapse. Happens to me all time. The more gray hairs on my head, the worse it seems to get.

It is a fairly well known issue with the t-case and auto hubs using standard 80W90 gear oil. The gear oil caused enough drag to turn the drive shaft and to engage the auto hubs. There are few...

Don't mean to yank your chain mate, spin your belt or put a spanner in your gears, but it is neither. The old TD4.2 only has gears. One of the best things about having a TD4.2.

The lighter oil will give good shifts. Western Star trucks use a 50W tranny oil. Make sure it is a GL4 oil within 70-90W specs. You will likely find that a high quality synthetic GL4 tranny oil...

Personally, I would not do it. I think if you use a good oil and maybe every 30,000-40,000 kms do a crank case purge, with a product like Seafoam, you will be fine. Given the compression pressures...

I can tell you that a high mount winch will not fit into a stock Nissan winch bar without making up an adapter plate to move the winch forward. As MudRunner says, the other way a round should be no...

I like the Lubro Moly Diesel Purge. It is a very high quality product. The proper way to use it is direct from a glass jar. Here is a good link with instructions:...

Hutch is onto it. My recommendation is pull up a handful of turf and go to your local turf seller with a carton in hand and ask if he will give or sell you a square meter of turf the same shade to...

I had one of those for my first oil change in my Y60 in 2006. It resulted in oil all over the driveway. The little funnel in the pan couldn't take the flow out of the sump. The oil on a TD4.2 sump...

Hi Josh. I am very interested in this and would like to see a Cummins swap thread if you have the time. I know a guy who has done a number of Cummins swaps int Fj40s using Portal axles. These...

When you install the tranny cooler, make sure you install it before the rad and keep the fluid going through the rad. The ATF needs to be at a certain temp for your tranny to operate properly. I've...
