Now that is very clever blacky....hahahahaha!

BTW, on the RA rodeos, they leak oil from the gearbox, I need to repair one soon, is it just a matter of dismantling the box and re-sealing the sandwich plate, or is there some modification from holden?
(if someone knows what I'm talking about, then they'll know the answer!)

yeah they just spilt the box and reseal it ,
might be worth doing the bearing while your at it to ,

the later ones that use the hi pressure common rail fuel system
have a new box , looks a lot beefier ,

Next question...
On the PE couriers, 2.5TD, has anyone experienced the transfer case morse chain stretching if the hubs are left in? Ifthe hubs are left in this causes the chain to stretch, and jump the gear teeth when in 4WD!
I have one hat needs a new chain every 20000km, even when the owner has been careful with the hubs, the chain is about $400.
There must be a rectification, surely? Mazda reckons this is normal, but the factory chain lasted about 100 000kms!

I got a Hilux 08 SR single cab manual TD as a service truck. lotsa weight on the back toolboxs etc have had
clutch done 60 000
injector 60000
been in a couple of times to flash the computer because real rough on cold starts

done now 110, 000klms

Company i work for has a fleet of post '07 utes probally close to 15-20 all auto dualcab TD
Havent had real problems except general wear parts-only my manual ute
some of these hiluxs have done up to 180K

i would buy a hilux out of these ute's. however if i wanted a dual cab ute personally i would go Lancrusier/Patrol and get it cut, especially for towing.
