While were talking hubs. Do they generally feel hot to the touch after normal driving?

My Question starts with a story. After driving around town for about 15 mins up & down a few hilly streets, breaking and accellerating often as city driving dictates, I got home and put a hand to the...

Thanks guys. I don't plan on driving to mexico locked but it's good to know I don't have to get dirty flippin' em back and forward on a dirty weekend.

So it doesn't damage anything (in 2H) but may notice increase in fuel consumption and noise.

but if the front diff is an open diff and there is no driving power going to it how can it get bound

Thanks NissanGQ4.2 I thought it was a no no as well. But found it written in black and white. How can there be debate about weather it does any damage etc. Either it does or it doesn't.

Recently learnt/ heard that you can have the hubs on lock all the time! It even helps with lube! Any thoughts?

Hope not. Where it was it wasn't stopping anything. Just sitting there.

Could it come from an old repair? There's nothing notably wrong with the way the engine runs. Sounds normal, oil pressure normal, temp normal.

Changing oil today (TB42efi) and I found a ball bearing sitting inside the lip of where the oil filter goes. Dont know what that place is called but it's inside the O ring and outside the threaded...

Castrol lube guide (on castrol website) says 20w-50 or 15w-40.

Hey to all who will listen. Is the oil pump something thats readily replaced or rebuilt or never breaks?
If the oil pressure gauge at idol hovers just above zero and at revs floats between first...

Awesome, car mods sound a bit like Diet & Exercise. Moderation is key ;)

So it's probably fair to assume that the rims on my monster are offset. Just by how much I dont know. Is there a right way to find out? Maybe it's written on rim?

Hey Guys. My GQ has a 2" spring lift, 15 x 8" rims and 32" BFG's. Which seems to give it a realy wide stance and the tyres are right on the outer edge of the arches. Looks good. Eventually I'll...

Thanks guys. Just did all the fluids as follows. TB42efi, auto.

Engine 8.2 lt Castrol GTX 20w-50
Transfer 2.2 lt Castrol ATF DX-III
Rear LSD 2.1 lt Penrite Limslip 140
Front diff 5.4 lt Penrite...

Heading into a Queensland summer what's the better engine oil? 10w-30, 15w-40? full synthetic, mineral? Castrol, Penrite etc?

thanks Bigrig didn't even know about the adjusting screw. Tightened them up a bit and what do ya know, good as knew. Wonder how many people get jibbed for that one. Nissan must love their secrets....

Hey, can anyone tell me where to get grease nipples that fit into the steering bits. My truck '94 GQII has little bolt heads where grease goes. I like mail order if that's option. Aditionally, when...

It could be a land based para-sailing attachment point. Think it's rated to 'tourist weight'.

used the 13mm socket from ultimate tool co and it works perfect.

Hey All,
I have exactly the same problem. Wobbly mirrors. Quoted $680.oo fitted. Cheap manual ones (might be called anologue these days!) that bolt on to the door can be had for less than $50.oo...

G'day mate.
