Peter,

Thanks for the info. But ... Just for the dummies ( me that is) what is a 0.63 a/r?

I'm sure I need one .... The fact that I asking what it is means I need one.... But to get one I need...

To a degree I do agree with the comments as this is systemic across all insurance, not just motor vehicle, but, having been looking at insurance for a very highly modified vehicle I can honestly...

I had a GVM upgrade performed in WA. I have a 6.5 Litre Chev engine installed by Brunswick in WA. I got the vehicle engineered in NSW.

Whilst the NSW engineer did not redo the certification for...

MB,

Thanks for the post. Very informative. I am a bit hyper sensitive of engine temps due to the probs with the ZD30. Sure I warped an exhaust manifold when towing up mount ousley near Wollongong...

Well today the missus convinced me to put the camper on the back and head up to the Wattagans to play.

Picked it up on Friday. Had to go down to Sydney to get it so had a bit of a drive to get home... Shaws transport shipped it back from Perth. I was going to remove my brush bars before I sent it...

Yeah,

More than happy to share.

$33k drive in drive out including front & rear diff gearing changes.

I stuck with my existing manual transmission, as much as I would like an auto.

Cheers Rainsey ...

Well,

My patrol is enroute to WA as we speak.

6.5 turbo within a week or two.

Stay tuned.

You know I trust my mechanic implicitly, but you know what .... Just like in medicine, if you have a specific issue a visit to a specialist might just be the thing to do.

I bounced it past my...

Juzzs8,

Deja Vu big time.

Just came back form a trip over the WA from East, up to Birdsville and home via Cameron Corner.

Before leaving truck was over heating just in normal driving. Water...

Skits,

There are pros and cons with all chips. They turn into a religious argument as to what is the best, and reality has it that there probably is not a "best" chip.

When I had my ChipIt, it...
