G'day M8 Not on my truck there wasn't. This engine came out f a GQ so I'm not sure if GQ and GU were the same. Thanks for watching my video. Cheers HARRY

Hi M8, Really sorry, not sure what you mean? Playing with the timing is a bit of mucking around, but as I have shown in the video, it is doable. Got a photo of what you are talking about? I'll try to be as helpful as possible. Cheers HARRY

Have same problem what did you end up doing

@@LachieCooper-d7iyou have to pull the vac pump out to get to the bottom bolt. Once thats out easy as piss.

@@rileyhodson8719 yep. The little gear on it is plastic so be careful you don't damage that or you could end up with a broken motor

​@@HarrysBigShed great explanations,, just like you take pauses and explain it it well, it reflects from your comments also 😍😍😍 thanks

rear should be bit higher on any,,truck,,to carry the weight.. japs should of copied ford f100 4x4 suspension.. 2ft travel std.. pinion,diff angle, is only rubber degreed 'c' bushings. cheap.. plus, the radius rods dont need touching. for 2'' , just re drill the coil buckets.. raised a bronco, solid front diff sas, 6''. std parts.. plus,,you dont have those bs cv joint crap..

I think it is just the load rating on the rear springs. I bought the highest rated ones as I was putting a lot of weight on the back, draw system, twin wheel carrier etc... I have to do a bunch of other work to the truck now, but once that is sorted I think I will replace the rear springs for softer ones. Sorry about taking so long to get back to you and thank you for watching my videos. Cheers HARRY

Happy New Year Lincoln I'm going to be replacing the injectors soon as at least one seems to be leaking down over night and then I will send it off for tuning. It runs hot under load and I suspect that it is getting too much boost. I will post up a video when it is done. Thanks for watching

Everything has a life span

I used a mob called Goldcoast Patrols. They guy’s name is Buddy You can call him on 0432 031 216 Thanks for watching

I bought mine from Hare and Forbes Thanks for watching

The lifters are in the block I think I have no idea how they come out especially with the head on. The Skid Factory channel has recently posted up a series on rebuilding a TD42 that’s pretty comprehensive. Thanks for watching

@@HarrysBigShed Thank you for the info.

I used the Ironman 4" Kit

ever looked at an f100 4x4 set up.. only mod needed is 'c' bushes, 2-7 degree, for pinion angle, no radius rods needed. coil buckets can be drilled 2'' higher, to raise 2''. with 2ft travel std, no need for coils.. the rear, just block it, cheap.. japs too fkn involved..like 3k involved..@@HarrysBigShed

the coils need,or should be,,from factory,, tied in top & bottom,,like real trucks,, ie,, f100.. learn..@@HarrysBigShed

1 thing needed to be upgraded,,is those plastic wheel studs..change them out for some 1/2'' or 9 1/6, u.s. ford truck studs.. they dont break.. plus, those trailing arms need to be a ft longer.. all round..with johnny joints,,not that bolt thru hole bs.. they dont twist.. mate with 80 series, ripped brkts off diff.. no twist.. unlike ford.. winner.. @@HarrysBigShed

why the fk,,do you need a spanner,,to turn the damn hubs.. thats 50,s tech.. @@HarrysBigShed

I'm pretty sure I put the head back on in this video. What did I miss?

I hear you. This will definately be going back together much more slowly than it came apart. Cheers HARRY

Hi Jamie, It was the cats, as soon as we got rid of the old ones, all the problems went away. At the moment Brutus is 400km away so I don't have access to the vehicle. Maybe when Zac gets home we can do an update video. Thanks for watching, and feel free to reach out if we can be of any further assistance. Cheers HARRY

Hi Ashley, I think it is from the Avery matt colour shift range. We bought the car with the wrap on it. Thanks for watching. Cheers HARRY

G'day Peter, I am planning out my next step at the moment. I have recently moved shops and still have a hell of a mess to sort out and other cars to fix before getting back onto the Silverado, so it could be a while. Thank you for clarifying, now I never have an excuse for spelling clairvoyant incorrectly ever again. Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous 2023.

G'day Peter, And a Merry Christmas and all the best for you and yours throughout 2023. There will be more videos, once I have my new shop sorted out. Just getting out of the old one was a massive task and I am taking a few days of me time. Cheers HARRY

Thanks Zannah, Yeh...it took me a while but I finally worked it out. Cheers HARRY

G'day Ben, Through the research that I had done before I started installing the lift, drop boxes would only provide benefits if I were going for a 6" lift in order to further correct the caster angle. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy more of my content. Cheers HARRY

Drop boxes are good for 3”-6” road runner or superior make them

maybe fit an f100 front diff.. they work, no mods needed.. plus,, no fkn cv bs.. the drop, or pumpkin, or diff centre, can be had left or right.. chev, ford dodge.. plus, a miriad of axle shaft lengths..brakes, lockers, ratios.. from 1960 , to 2034.. all interchangeable..

Hi Ian I have filmed me getting the rear suspension all wrong which will be the next episode, but with moving shops I haven’t been able to do anything else. Suffice to say, I think I am headed down a path a didn’t really anticipate going, but I will leave you guessing. In the meantime wishing you and your family a great Christmas and all the best for 2023. Cheers Harry

G’day m8, The engine itself was about $5500, which included new injectors. I then put on a new water pump, belt and hoses along with a few other bits and pieces. I could have bought a used engine instead of a rebuilt one, but for the sake of 500 bucks I got a zero timed motor with a warranty.

Thank you Bryce. It is great to hear from people like yourself. Cheers Harry

G’day Peter, You need to change the cross member over as the one that came with the 3ltr puts the box where it needs to be with that engine and the 4.2 does the same with that unit. Basically I have swapped out a 3ltr cross member for a 4.2ltr cross member. Thanks for watching my videos, I hope you are finding them useful.

G’day Megamind, thanks for watching. There is more to improving performance through exhaust modifications than bi-modal mufflers. The car has a complete aftermarket set up from extractors to aftermarket cats, centre section and mufflers, so it can flow much better than a standard system, it’s not just about the noise, although I do love the rumble. Thanks for reaching out and I hope you continue to enjoy my content. Cheers Harry

Hey m8 What parts do you mean? The car has been back in the road for months now. Thanks for watching

@@HarrysBigShed you talk about another video at 11:10 just after that one, if you ever made it. Yeah I know its an old video just interested in the content cheers.

Ahh…yeh…. Totally forgot about it. I should do one, shouldn’t I

@@HarrysBigShed ha, only when you get time. I know everyone's short of that at the moment. Great vids anyway mate genuinely had a good time watching some of these on the VE. We have been bashing the VZ 3.6's Adventra's around in the bush for along time almost 6 years now, the main vehicle while completed simpson desert and got back home appeared to have taken on some sand due to a broken inlet gasket under the intake so we just pulled it and are replacing it with a younger one, then we decide to do chains, pumps, check pickup cams etc so something small that only needed an oil change has diverted into a recondition almost. Just enjoy hearing what others have to say about the alloytec.

I know all about mission creep. If you have taken the engine out of the car now would be a good time to get a set of headers and aftermarket cats. They are almost impossible to do in the car…on a VE at least. The Simpson run must have been amazing. Planning on getting there but will use the Patrol. Have a good one

Don't get too far ahead of yourself. It could be a case of 2 steps forward, 15 back. My regular viewers know this.

G'day Pete, You just need to make a start. It won't matter where you start, it just matters that you do. Cheers HARRY

Thanks Ian

G'day Ben, Anatomically I am what is known as a Big Bastard so when setting up the dash I probably have a different outlook to most. The gauges on the column certainly don't make it difficult for me, neither does the GPS as my head is literally scraping the roof. I have mentioned in numerous replies that I got a bit carried away and didn't read the charts correctly, but since posting this video I have fitted a new injector pump and as yet have not had it on a dyno. Please excuse my ignorance but the acronyms TMIC and FMIC are meaningless to me right now, of you could educate me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching Cheers HARRY

Thank you

Hi Rod It cost about $400 to get the head machined and another $300 or so for the gasket kit and head bolts. Allow yourself about 1/2 a day to get it all apart and a full day to put it all back together once you get the head back from your machinist. Thanks for watching Cheers Harry

Hi Matthew I have been driving the Patrol for a couple of weeks now and I have been very happy with this pump. The mid range stumble I was experiencing with the other pump is gone and she’s making plenty of power and vroom vroom noises. I’m still yet to get it on a dyno but my backside tells me she goes real good. Best of luck with your project. Cheers Harry

@@HarrysBigShed hi mate eny smoke coming out from the exhaust when you give it some coz iam thinking if I need to do my injectors or pump I have black smoke when plant it in 2 and third and when cold it miss on lil revs nice content mate 👍🍻

Hi Glenn, Unfortunately with auctions it is often “caveat emptor” ( buyer beware) I got the changeover engine from Northvic Engines in Braeside. For what people were asking for a used engine with up to 180,000k’s I spent a few more dollars and bought a freshly rebuilt unit. It also included a fresh set of injectors and brand new timing chain so I shouldn’t have to worry about it for 160,000k’s. So if you think about it by time you buy a used engine of unknown quality, put a new set of gaskets, injectors, timing chain, water pump, engine mounts, etc…etc… it was just cheaper and easier to do it this way. The car is now in 5000k service intervals and hasn’t missed a beat with the young lad commuting from Melbourne to Ballarat on a weekly basis. Best of luck with your project. Cheers Harry

Thanks for that Joseph. Really appreciate the feedback. Cheers HARRY

Hi m8 Apologies for the delay. If memory serves the ZD30 and TD42 use the same temp sensor so totally interchangeable. I don’t have a part number, I just ordered a new one off eBay. Thanks for watching the videos and reaching out. Cheers Harry

@@HarrysBigShed thanks for that your a legend 👍🏾 keep up the good work

Apparently I am lazy…just ask my wife

I found another one Set me back 100 bucks so not the most expensive mistake I have ever made

I’m doing the best I can m8

Thanks m8 Hope you continue to enjoy my videos

I would have absolutely no idea. A quick google search should show up any local suppliers. Thanks for watching the video and let me know if I can be of any assistance in the future. Cheers Harry

G'day Seb, Thanks for the feedback. It would probably be cheaper for you to buy a paperweight at your local Officeworks than to get your hands on this dodgy pump of mine. Cheers HARRY

Thanks Peter Totally agree, just always concerned that I will end up breaking something critical and impossible to replace. Hopefully our paths will cross one day and you will discover I am a bit of an overpowered oaf. Thanks for watching and commenting.

About 170,000 k’s

G’day Ian Being a diesel there are no aftermarket harnesses out there and it’s too old for GM to support. They haven’t made these engines for 20 years now. My only option would be to buy second hand and then there are no guarantees that it would be any better than what I already have. Anyway…it’s all been pushed back due to delays with getting other parts so I am taking my time cleaning up the front of the chassis and will have to get back into the Patrol. It desperately needs a new injection pump and I’ll probably rip the head off just to make sure the head gasket and a new set of bolts will stand up to the 20+ psi I plan on pushing through it. On top of that I have a complete suspension lift kit to install in it and get some bigger rubber underneath her. Cirtainly not short of a project. As always…thanks so much for watching me bumble my way through and hopefully I’ll get the old girl running in this lifetime. Cheers Harry
