re my other posts on this subject,i have heard all the stories of guys stripping 5th gear in their older gu models,the question i need answered is --i have a 99 gu 4.2 n/a ute,that i want to take up north in about a month.i will be towing a pop top camper that weighs approx 600kg,and probably have about 250kgs in tray maybe a bit more with fuel etc.now i have replaced the oil in gearbox with redline,and the box is very quiet.i drive very sensibly--eg back to fourth on a hill,and on declines etc.i am pretty sure sitting in 4th gear on the long flats is doable--but the economy will probably go out the window eh?---surely if i drive to the conditions and take it easy with this load --it should be fine???---i am very paranoid of it going bang!!!!!----please give me info???:biggrin::jawdrop:
