04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
No mate not so far,i fitted a mechanical temp gauge in it,it would go up to 100 then went down straight away and sat on about 90 which was good but I didn't like the way it would spike to 100 so I changed the thermostat and it now spikes to 88 and sits on about 80-85 even in the bush .
I did have all the air con on to start with put I pulled it all out.

Brought a little ute to run to work in so the patrol is no longer my daily drive . So it now will sit in the shed and only come out for bush trips, let the mods start LOL.

I just bought an 88 myself, had a cracked head so I got it pretty cheap and fixed it myself.
Stills needs a bit of work, come into some carby trouble.
Not as nice as yours but you have given me some good ideas.
Thanks mate

Well I have some bad news, went for a snow drive on sunday got stuck on a hill and managed to get up. Got out for a smoke while waiting for the other's the patrol was sitting there idling nicely when it stopped, just stalled.
Fair enough I thought hit the key nothing, was like it had a flat battery,thought it might be in a dead spot turned the crank by hand and BANG she locked up, turned the crank the other way done a full 360 then BANG locked up again.
So after getting towed home through the snow which was a bit hairy LOL dropped the sump off and no metal was found. After a few more test's decided to rip a head off and found a chunk of metal in number 8 cyl.
Result stuffed piston and rings and that's it. Lucky it happenend at idle and not under rev's other wise it would have 10 times worse.
