Thanks taslucasOriginally Posted by taslucas
Pretty much all the differences have been listed above. It really comes down to personal choice and the type of driving you do. You should just have a drive of both and feel any differences for yourself. Some people swap but moast are happy with what they have. I got a petrol with auto because thats what i wanted when i was looking for a patrol. I am happy with it
I love my diesel and would not convert to the tb42
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK
WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
I have had more then a few tb42 rd28 and now td42 turbo
Tb42's were ok had a few and the rd28 with more boost and fuel made the td42 non turbo feel like a slug as they like to rev and power comes on higher in the rev range..
Before fitting the turbo to the td42 i was quite dissapointed with it even with winding the fuel up a little but now it is great and gets on average 500 k's to a $100 fuel around town.
I have to say my rd28 performs quite well, climbs things offroad that a mates n/a td42 cannot and beats tb42's on road. The only downside is getting off the line with a heavy trailer and 35's on.
Good little engine but it must have been a real sick tb42 that you beat on road.
Tap, crackle, pop
Hello from Under Down Under!
Totally agree
After having an RD28T GU and now owning a TB42 GQ
It would want to be 1 serious RD28T to see even the taillights on the TB42
Empty or towing
My TB42 has it all over my old RD28T
I know it sounded healthy, but it was slow as. Mate of mine said his gotta introduce me to one of his mates that has a stock tb42 shorty that's ment to move along quite well. My fuel is wound up quite alot, can leave it in 5th on hills that needed 3rd when I first bought it.
yeap even i dont have problem with td42.. only reason asking i get embarassed with the huge noise of td42... it will be helpfull... is there any way of reduce the noise thanks
