Chip or Exhaust??

[Coogs]

Just new to the Forum and have just purchased a demo 2011 Patrol 3l TD. The Mrs and I will be doing the round Oz bit next year. We live in WA and in the mean time will be doing many and varied trips here.
This is the first diesel I've owned and it looks like I've made the decision. We are camper trailer tourers and prefer the areas caravans can not access but not the hard core stuff. Hoping someone on the forum can help me here- trying to decide whether to install a D31 chip or go for 3" exhaust system together with a suspension upgrade with 50mm lift. To conclude can any advise what average amps a 47L ARB fridge draws??? .......... appreciate any assistance here!

Welcome to the forum mate,

Apparently they draw 0.87 amps/hour. Power consumption tested at 3°C cabinet temperature, 26°C-31°C ambient temperature range, test duration of 66 hours and supply voltage of 12V DC

I would be going the exhaust and suspension upgrade myself but if you don't get much response here then you might want to ask this question in It's own thread somewhere else as a lot of people don't read the introductions.

G'day and welcome to the friendliest Patrol forum there is. I will be doing the 3" exhaust when I get around to it. Not sure about the chip.

If you have the cash get both. I have a safari D tronic in mine with standard exhaust and feels heaps better doesn't bog down as it use to getting off the line. I now have 121.4 hp at the wheels and it hasn't increases egt's sits at 250 to 300 around town and took her up a big sand dune and got to 400. A 3 inch exhaust is next on the list
