Welcome aboard Tyler mate!
Nice looking rig you've upgraded to there, well done!
I've learnt on here that an EGT gauge is very helpful for engine longevity. Exhaust Gas Temperatures should I believe be kept if possible under 550 degrees in your ZD30 beast, great trucks for sure mate!

thank you all for your help, i am looking at an EGT at the moment, anyone have any ideas as to why the rear of mine looks so much higher than the front? im thinking something like heavy duty springs??

G'day Tyler.

Welcome to the forum and glad to have another West Aussie on here.

Nice set up.

It might pay to ask any questions in the appropriate thread, as not a lot of members read this one.

There's quite a few members on here from down your way, and inland from you, and occasionally we have a meet up.

I'm in Merredin.

Take care out there.
