Still what looks like to me grease coming out of the ball joint after a clean and drive.
As mentioned above, over greased so do I need to do anything or just enjoy the greeezy love?

Just drove a total of 10 hours with off-roading and long steep climbs and hot weather.Quote:

Even our worst section heading up a long steep 4wd track very rutted for at least 10minutes solid powering up in 2nd low at 2200 only got to 95 degrees and EGT was 400.
Had similar temps as above on other hills when lagging around 1900rpm so if you keep it spooling at 2200 to 3000 it loves it!
Engine seems great, turbo is sensational in the high country, many times I hit big hills not concentrating in 2nd and should've been in first and the turbo spools up to 2200 with no lagging and next minute your charging up the hill.
Absolutely blew marks Mrs GU ht18 away on the black stuff windy steep hills with Marks car to the boards and mine 1/3 pedal.
It was super impressive Mat !
Very hot dry ambient temps and super steep very long climbs he had zero stress!! From what I could see vertically above on the tracks there was no crazy wheelspinning and his power appeared very tamable of which I had grandpa worries with such a beast.
Job well done gents, you've all nailed it I reckon :-) !!
He will still stress about it though!Quote:

Funny woods point doesn't get to busy this time is year, tis good tho reckon the bottom end towards kevington / jameson would be pretty chockers. . .
It is funny mate, remember when Dazz and I went there on oz weekend and it was pretty much the same. Very interesting!Quote:

Change the axel seal and be done with it. If you havent already get yourself a oil seal installation tool, about $30 on fleabay, and a good oil seal pick.Quote:

Its great having power on tap hey! My car fully loaded at 3.18t and dragging a 1.7t camper i rarely had to reach for 4th on hills. But i only did actually because last time i did this same trip i cooked the gear oil because the 5th gear loving and couldnt change gears when coming into towns. So i now drop it back to 4th and ease off a little.Quote:

It was leaking after a little front wheel airtime on Ellis track, seal was replaced and it started leaking again a month later.Quote:

Yeah i found them to be a pain. I reckon ive changed the rhs three times.before if finally stopped. Now the lhs has decided to start. Not a lot, probably the same as yours, bit enough to annoy me as i know its not right.Quote:

Give me some time and hopefully things can get back in order.
2017 has been a shitful start for us unfortunately!
Didn't mean to put any stress on you, we were just after an excuse to get together.Quote:

Well the new engine just did its second major run down to Dargo for Winnie's wedding. Approx 12 total hours and didn't use a drop of oil or coolant.
This set up is amazing for climbing long hills and no overheating issues which is a relief.
