Recently picked up a 1988 GQ 4.2TD, I will be setting it up primarily for towing, While I have replaced the front Hub seals and bearings, fitted rear draws, bullbar and a few comfort items in the cabin, I still have a lot to do.
* Front brakes get really hot, So may need the rear proportioning valve spring checked ( it has had a 2" lift and I didn't expect that would require any adjustment)
* Engine overheats ( I suspect more EGT issue) when towing. Not sure how to attack that one just yet
Hopefully the hints and tips will help me out.
