Overheating 2010 GU Patrol

[threedogs]

You haven't seen wind was like the start of the Wizard of Oz here today.
Anyone local that can tow your trailer to replicate your hill climb??

Don't even have to tow a trailer now, threedogs. It overheats coming up the hill without the trailer. I've done the same trip with the same load with the same trailer before, and the vehicle didn't even look like overheating. Had a Rodeo pull the same load, and didn't bat an eyelid.

Realise all that, was just thinking videoing similar 4x4 doing the same thing, might be evidence, maybe.

Yeah, not a bad thought. Have a friend with a Landcruiser. Would that do??

I'm up at Orange with a 2007 CRD if that helps. I've been following your plight with interest and be happy to help if you think it would be beneficial.

Ha ha, Nissan can block you alright, BUT, whatever is posted on here, will be picked up by Google worm, and anyone searching about Nissan will find it lol.

For example, this is a post from another Forum, I just Googled 2010 4.2 GU overheating, as many would.

The problem certainly sounds like it is getting worse I would not drive the vehicle until problem is rectified other wise by the sounds of everything you have stated in this post you are gonna end up with a catastrophic failure. I work on diesel engines day in and day out mate and you have an issue with your engine it doesnt take a rocket scientist to work this out. Your nissan dealer is giving you the run around draggin it out until you either give up or your out of your warranty period.

I work with a bloke who owns a 2010 crd ute and it is constantly loaded with about 1000kg of gear at least and he has done 180k problem free.

I have been watching this also with some interest as its about time nissan came to the party instead of denying the obvious. These things are pumped out in such big productions that you can end up with defects from the get go.

I hope everything works out for you mate, no one would blame you at this stage for going to a different manufacturer. All the best.

Missus has found Twitter. She said Nissan can't delete tweets, but they will probably end up blocking her there as well.
