[QUOTE="Reeks, post: 472754, member: 1557"] Being a DX non turbo model Bob your engine possibly has different pistons than the factory turbo models. If you decide to get a new donk it might be worthwhile getting your hands on a turbo spec motor as they are the strongest of the TD42, followed by the silver top GQ motor (which is in my Patrol) and lastly the black top non turbo donk (yours unfortunately) Do you run a boost gauge snd pyrometer on your rig? A must in my opinion to keep an eye on how the engine is running. Those hills around Turondale are long and steep and I find sticking in 3rd gear and just taking in the scenery keeps the temps a lot lower than labouring 4th gear on those long slogs. Goodluck with it mate, yell out if you need any pics from my gregory's manual :Y: [/QUOTE]
