Diff upgrade

[SteveR]

Hi Bloggers. I'm new to this and would appreciate some experience driven wisdom.
I have a 2005 3ltr Diesel wagon with 33" rock climbers on. I am also towing a 2+tonne van so am finding I have just enough grunt but very little reserve. I've been advised to change the front and rear diffs from the 4.1s I have now to 4.3s and do the exhaust upgrade to a 3" pipe designed and fitted by Tiapan here on the Gold Coast.
Q. Is this the best way to go, what % power increase can I expect. Also looking for the diff centers if anyone out there has any spare 4.3s. Thanks

Yes, the 4.3's will return the vehicle to 'factory' ratios now you are running 33's and the 2.75 or 3 inch pipe gives a noticeable increase in performance of the ZD30.
Esp if you also block EGR (which is illegal so don't do it, wink, wink) which also means you can now wack more fuel in so it goes better again... they still won't pull the skin off custard below 2,000 RPM tho so keep the revs up

I'd heard of Bloopers, Boogers and Boggers so I thought maybe a typo...
