Rattle or Vibration. 4.2 turbo.

It could be due to the odd firing order and shear rotating mass of the TD, but I dont really know.

Sounds more than plausible to me Ben mate!
My 6.5NA tractor donk bolted onto the 4.2 stock manual box can chug as low as
-500rpm under crawling load. The chatter of the combination is greater than any other stock 4.2/manual combo I’ve ever owned, all good still we hope :-)

Has anyone bought the TD42T from new?

Did it do it straight out of the showroom floor too?

Miy 0042t had 73k km on it when I bought it in 03. Now 277k.
Rattles same as it always has.

Yes it did it from the very 1st day back in June 2006.
Service manager at dealer was expert with the 4.2's and loved them. He said it was the design of and the way gears were cut for strength. It was hardly noticable at first and it WILL only get worse but is not a problem,
My son's GQ ute with close to 600k is very loud but my GU is still acceptable.
Treat it as a badge of honor as you have the very best.
