What did you do to your Patrol today!

[Rossco]

Installed a higher performance fan than arrived home with after the trip into Burgoynes Gap crossing the McAlister River. The new one is an 8 blade genuine Toyota 3F motor fan, to replace the 7 blade after market Toyota 1HZ fan. 3F unit feels heavier and tougher.Attachment 73592

Ouch ! That ones rooted. . . Mine was looking similar after dirty bog holes at wombat, was missing every second blade tho and was still balanced. . . How was the vibration with that one ?

Oddly smooth up to about 1800rpm, then the vibes increased to a max of say 2000rpm and the whole floor and steering column were shaking. Tried to drive thru it but at 2300rpm started to lose power, it was pretty severe. Will use the radiator blind next time, i bought it but as normal too lazy to fit it - not next time though!

Adjusted the rear view mirror and it ended up on the floor , bugger !

I don't know why but I started laughing when i read this, just so typical of doing something simple and it turns to custard. Sorry about my reaction, still chuckling!

Picked the Patrol up today. Just from new squirters, and no retune, she gained nearly another 20rwkw from when it went in at 160rwkw and the afr's dropped significantly too. Also had a full comp test done and a few other things which added to the bill but its all done and goes great!

.....Will use the radiator blind next time,....!

Can be quite annoying though I agree when crossing the same meandering river several times whilst our trucks work hard climbing in between and needing covers/blinds back off/on again for airflow.
Without going to the extent of trials & tribulations like my utes full electric isolation fans mate has anybody ever had success somehow adapting behind a viscous fan some type of electric on/off coupling for deep crossings? Kind of like how our trucks airconditioners work I guess meaning?

You really are related to YODA aren't you.

I agree, long way to go for not much I reckon. The telescope however is pretty special, on a clear night.

I can’t believe your Ebay “We thought you might like this PeeBee” hasn’t featured one yet? :-)
