Top post Dale.
I pick up my TD42 Sunday... lol its going to be a little bit of a process I recon, but I will just take my time and ask lots of questions I guess..
Thanks for this thread though, im sure it will come in very handy over the course of the following months !

Still shitting me running down the highway. Its better with the highflow pump, but it still heats up to 90ish before the an howls and it comes back down.
But under very little load I still dont like it so I am going to throw a radiator at it just to be certain.
Was going to get a genuine plastic/alloy as they seem to get a good wrap. But patrolapart wont have stock until after chrissy which is too late as summer is coming quickly.
Priced a full alloy PWR radiator today as I think I am going to go that way. My intercooler from them seems to do the trick. Most likely order it this arvo. Anyone had experience?
Can always get a new copper/brass but they want to use my tanks which I dont want to. Plus in my research a good alloy should be more efficient at dispersing heat than the copper/brass.
What thermostat are you running?
90degrees is fine.
76.5 degree thermostat. Runs at 75-80 cruising around 80-90.
I know 90 is not bad. But that is completely empty on a mid to high 20 degree day.
If im towing on a 35 degree day then 90 will be nothing but a number I used to see haha.
Ordered the rad. Will bang it in when it arrives and throw a couple of tonne behind it for testing purposes.
Plus I was seeing up to 110 degrees up big hill pulls holding speed just with camping gear and one dirtbike in tow.

Does it open to the correct length in operation though? If it doesn't block the bypass port when the thermostat is fully open then coolant can just recirculate through the head.
I would like to think so. Brand new genuine thermostat and brand new thermostat housings top and bottom.
I will pop it out when I do the rad and check but im pretty confident it will not be faulty.
I don't think it will be faulty either but I don't the genuine ones are long enough. Did you use one for a NA or t motor?Originally Posted by Dales300exc
Factory turbo engine thermostat.
Ill measure it up and shiz later in the week when the rad turns up.
The highflow water pump dropped it about 10 degrees down the highway. So if the rad drops it another 10 ill be stoked.
There is al sorts of info about high flow thermostats and stuff isnt there with the TDs?
