What have you done to your truck today..? THE BLOG

#1776 by WelshMart , Sun Jul 17, 2016 7:12 pm

Rear springs changed, was fairly easy. The only sticking point was one front eye bolt was seized in the bush, managed to free it in the end. Lifted the rear of the truck a good 3", need some longer shocks now

Not actually done anything as the brackets for the new light bar were the wrong size, but have taken delivery of the new radiator which is to be fitted next week along with silicon hoses and hopefully the second scoop, roller shutter and roll bar but i won't hold my breath on the last 3.

Got an aluminium sport one, just trying to make out if its the right one as it has 2 extra pipes on the bottom. The description said it was but others that look the same say suitable for Automatic.

The description in that Ad does say suitable for Automatics so I'm guessing you've got the wrong one

#1789 by 4life-extreme , Mon Jul 25, 2016 7:42 pm

I had oil leaking from the throttle body down over the inlet manifold so i have stripped it down and binned the gaskets. Then cleaned the mating parts with meths. Put a thin bead line around ALL of the mating parts using BLUE HYLOMAR non-setting Gasket+Jointing compound and now it dont leak well pleased. @Hound Dog

Yeh you cant really get a good flow of pipe without it kinking.

I tried to get mine apart to see if it had a baffle or tube on the inlet. ovvy not lol.
