Hey Fletch, looking good mate,

What is the Carter Fuel pump? Is that a replacement Diesel fuel pump? I only know the TD42 and a new pump is Massive bud?? Is that what you have done? If so what sort of performance upgrade are you expecting? Could you not just Chip it?

The carter pump is acting to keep constant fuel pressure to the injector pump.. This was done on my old patrol and made it more responsive and drops the lug point of the motor couple hundred rpm.. I was able to go round a roundabout in 3rd without the engine lugging at all

Yeah right so basically an inline pump to provide forced pressure to the pump. Nice.

So after a fair few phone calls today looks like I have decided on the lift kit I will be getting.. 2" Suspension stuff Flexi lift with Procomp shocks and 15mm Spring packers.. Should give me about 2.5" of lift with about the same flex as a 4" lift :thumbup:

Was up your way yesterday picking up a petrol tank of a young bloke who is a diesel mechanic... drives a GU ute with 5 inch lift and all the good stuff.

So you driving to Brindabella???
