Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.

I have never had either engine just going on what people say here. petrol or gas you won't get the miliage from it litre to litre compared to a diesel. Diesel is easier to get out bush compared to petrol or gas especially gas. diesels do make power with the right mods sure your petrol will be faster but not really needed off road reliability well 4.2 diesels get 500 000km plus before a tear down. you should drive in both motors before deciding the swap to what ever suits your needs and preferences.

You get high mileage out if the TB42 as well. Both TB42 and TD42 have the same tough as nails bottom end. My TB42 has over 420 000 kms on it. The head has been replaced in 2007.

hi rossco it sounds like everything went really well for you. i have just done the same to my dual cab maverick, eberything went good except for now the wiring situation.for some reason my alternator seems to be a different type to the original because the plug is different so i cant use my original plug,and how did you go with hooking up the vacuum to your brakes?
For some reason it feels like there is not enough vacuum to the brakes and at the same time my clutch is vacuum assisted and that feels fine , im kinda scratching my head at the moment?
I'm planning to do the same in the next few months so might be picking your brains soonish

Yeah no probs yort I'm happy to help with any questions
hey rossco, im goint to do a tb - TD conversion soon, did you get a 24v td42? as TB is 12v if i find a TD from a 24v truck i know ill need a 12v starter and alternator for the TD, but will the injector pump need to be 12v aswell? or can i run the original off 24v truck on 12v system? i got a TB42 carby aswell, and getting 250k's out of a full tankso wanting to get more torque and economy. Cheers,
Mike

Rossco doesn't get on here much. His was 12 volt.
