That certainly was a well done video. Loved it, please keep them coming. Dan.

That was a great read, also loved the pics. Dan.

I'm always looking at your thread and videos. Yes Please keep them coming, I greatly enjoy them. Dan.

The beads are actually different sizes in the packet and not all really round. Average about 3mm in size. Of the top of my head can't remember the brand I used but they are poor quality stainless because I use a magnet to collect them out of the old tyre to put into the new ones. Don't see any...

1 oz per 10 lbs of tyre or part there of. So 72lb tyre gets 8 ozs. Don't skimp on them but going stupid won't help either. I use stainless beads and change them from tyre to tyre when doing tyre change. Porcelain beads do grind them selves down from rubbing on them selves and tyre sand sort of...

My belief is that the 4D33 engine never came turboed so it is neither a replacement or an improvement of the turbo. It is certainly an improvement of the engine performance. Dan.

Looks like my 24v wiring diagram is the same as supplied. Dan.

It is strange that it is an internal spline and not able to be lubricated. But if that is the way the engineers have designed it they know better than me. That mating surface of transfer case to gearbox looks like it is sealable. The dark line on the join looks like it has had slight movement in...

Thanks. The drawings help me understand how it goes together. Totally different to the earlier setups. But as you say it doesn't give the finer understanding of the mating surfaces of transfer case to gearbox. By looking at the drawings, I still say that the spline should be oiled by seepage...

Yes , that is totally had it as well. It is a different setup all right and only slides into that spline and is not really held in tight. In reality it looks like it should pick up oil seepage from transfer case oil. There is nothing to stop it from "working" on that spline. Bad design I'll...

Okay, now I'm lost. Yes, that certainly is a lot of wear and possibly from lack of lubrication. It doesn't even look like an internal shaft by the crude on it. What year model is your truck. Do you have a model number for your gearbox because that is not the same as our gearbox output shafts...

I know Syncros can be fitted into our boxes (over here) to be able to have syncro on 1st gear. Certainly would be handy when 4WDing in the rough. The hub (1st/reverse) that is in there is slotted for them to fit in there. So yes, you end up with syncro for reverse as well. When I had a customers...

The wear on that spline will certainly give you a bad clunking sound on acceleration and deceleration. It will resonate through the gearbox and transfer case and will sound like it is all coming apart. It will also throw everything out of line in the rear gearbox bearing and you will get...

If your box is the same as the earlier boxes which I believe more or less it is. That rear gearbox bearing has no problem getting lubricated by splash feed. It is not supposed to be a sealed bearing. It is lubricated from the gearbox side as the seal is in the transfer case. Only know of one...

The stock rims are not wide enough for 315/75r16 tyres. You have to use tubes as they are split rims. They will be that bulged out in the side walls and will be kissing when mounted as duals. You may get away with 8.25x16"s if you keep the pressure up. 9.00x16"s definitely kiss in dual setup...

You will have trouble running 315/75r16" on stock rims. Dan.

I'll also say that the FG439W always had GVM of 5000kg and no there was no lighter chassis. They only went to higher GVM as the years went by. With the chassis number I can possibly decode some info. Option code and SOA mean nothing in my paper work. But yes. they do mean something. seat belts/...

"SkiFreak" I believe is on the mark. No chip tune available. To my knowledge, yes it is a mechanical pump with built in internal electrical control and not adjustable. (I would like to be wrong on this.) There are a few truck here that I have knowledge of that are suffering from injection pump...

In the second picture the nut is even on backwards. Dan.

Air bubbles in gearbox oil would be fairly normal just after it has been driven. It is being stirred up just by the actions of the gears going round. Time it takes to settle Etc. is in all the additives in the oil (antifoaming and all). To me it sounds like you are getting gear train "windup"...
