Thanks for the assist

You can get them for approx $12 -$14 and yes it is Silicone Oil for viscous couplings.

Thank you, very much appreciated.

Glad you liked it.

Unfortunately not there is no filler plug and Isuzu just say replace it. Well that is okay if you have a few hundred dollars to spare or you want a cheap Chinese knock off. I went out and bought a tool for removing the bolts which are round head screws with a cross head fitting that strip because they are tight. I bought a Manual Impact screwdriver as it was called for $35 at Total Tools for the TTI version. It works well and it is universal which it means it will work in Left and right directions. What I don't understand is that they have a $50+ version with more bits without a case or the $35 version with a case? PS, ask for an Impact Screwdriver as the guy had no idea what I was talking about when I said Manual Impact Driver, we were heading down the Power Tool Aisle until I corrected him. Anyway, I am just making a quick refilling video.

Unfortunately, I don't have it as it belongs to my son. He didn't make it either as it was bought ready made. I can get it back again and measure it up but I would suggest talking with the page administrator on the 4JX1 Decompile/Learning Project FB page here as he may have the details you need. Please let me know and I will get back the special tool and measure it for you. The admins name is Chris Szkwarek and the FB pages are here - facebook.com/groups/264658247280734

I am not sure if you mean where do you buy it or where does it come from Physically. The tap came with the catch can and is located on the drain at the bottom of the catch can. I just brought it down there instead of attaching it to the car.

@ sorry mate all a little new to the 4jx1 have previously had 3 petrol jacks apologies for not being entirely clear with my question

Well done, that is exactly why I started this channel, to help people like you.

The 4JX1 has a unique donk that few mechanics properly understand. I have my local mechanic and I have tried to give him all the info, but he's always falling short by a tiny amount - enough to cause a continuous list of minor problems. Just ask questions and make sure the mechanic has experience with the Jackaroo. Look up the forums, watch Dave's videos...you need to learn as much as you can. They are exceptional 4x4's but never were popular so the expertise isn't out there. Whereabouts are you?

Yes, absolutely. Never ever let a mechanic use any other oil than 5W-30 or 10W-30. The old adage of an old engine needs thicker oil and you'll be walking home. Try watching the videos about the HEUI engine and never let a mechanic touch it unless he knows what a HEUI engine is. th-cam.com/video/AsGCkQVLUhY/w-d-xo.html

Did I see somewhere that you are in the USA? If so, I suggest that you use a mechanic that knows about early 2000's Ford Super-Duty Pickups as they had similar HEUI engines too.

Thank you heaps! I appreciate the info :) I’m located in South Australia and will definitely be having a good chat to the mechanic before anything gets done. I love my jackaroo and plan to keep it as long as possible

@@Quest4Coins Sorry, I have no idea why I thought you were in the USA? In that case definitely make sure any mechanic knows what they are doing as they can make quite a mess by not knowing. What makes the Jack for me is the fact that I came across a land cruiser and Pootrol on a hill both stuck and after asking if they needed an help which they always refuse, I sailed on by and left them on the hill. LCs and Pootrolls are far too heavy. I have found over the years that the Jackaroo is definitely the best allrounder. Also, if you can get your fuel consumption in the 13L per 100km range, when loaded, it is better on fuel too. I would recommend an auxiliary tank or a bigger fuel tank just for peace of mind. I have a 60l auxiliary making 145 l and my son has the bigger fuel tank at 140 l. The only issue with the bigger fuel tank is you lose your bash plate making the tank vulnerable. The issue with the auxiliary tank is you need a split fuel pipe and a pump.

When I was in the RAF, we had a missile system generator that was misfiring. We checked and found a bad screened spark plug, so we swapped it for a brand new one. No change to the fault so we continued on. After three days of checking we changed the brand new spark plug for another and the problem went away. The issue was the brand new screened spark plug was faulty.

Yes but not during testing

There is an Isuzu Manual for the later Jackaroo here www.patreon.com/posts/jackaroo-manual-117835607?Link& Or you can get it by joining the 4JX1 Decompile/Project FB Group in the files section.

Sarcastically, yes it was 32 and freezing. Having said that, it was cold overnight on some nights.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel thats what i meant some times night can get cold

@@pkgoldopalhunting One night I had to put my head under the sleeping bag it was that cold.

Hi Euan, how are you doing, have you gotten anywhere near Canberra yet? I meant to leave you the box of biscuits but I only thought about it at the end of the road, sorry. I had to leave early because the track out is renowned for trees falling and I didn't want to get stuck. Hope the rest of your trip goes okay or went okay. Thanks for letting me know, I did try waking you but you were asleep when I left.

Stupid it may be but at least I had a go

I want to apologise, I didn't know you had your own channel. I am 546 subscriber.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel thanks my channel is a bit rough i dont know how to edit and things like that so its just raw off the phone hope you enjoy bit of every thing that do in the channel

@@pkgoldopalhunting Neither do I.. lol but yours looks good

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel thanks i dont do many ones in the mountains for hunting should do more , mots time i do gold prospecting cutting opal and later think i should of did a vid ha ha

I am so glad you got these sorted and there is no need to thank me at all. There is a mod for the pickups that uses two big springs to support them. I think Jimmy Steel was selling them online a while back. The mod is necessary to support the pickups to stop them cracking. Isuzu did have some modded pickups that had been strengthened but I have never seen any for sale. Obviously neither of these would control what the O-rings are doing.

Luck of the draw I think, it could have been any colour but anyway that's what I got

There are two types of Tech 2, The original GM version and a Chinese Copy. Unfortunately, the Tech 2 I have is my sons and it is a Chinese Copy. It works okay but I had a tradie around the other day who used to work for Holden and he has one in his shed which he is giving me for free, eventually.

Both the isuzu and holden cards should work.

@@TheStonersheep Thanks.

@@Bennyboy-dog Sorry, I would have to ask Rob what card he got it with but I can if you wish?

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel Thanks Dave - yes, that would be great.

After the other week, I didn't want to strip it again but I did and thank goodness.

Yes, I think mine was losing all it's pressure so I was having to fill the rail every time. Starts a lot easier now.

Thanks for the info but it isn't the glow plug seals as they don't have any seals and I would see the combustion gasses on the outside of the engine and there is none. Besides I have already checked them. Thanks for the info though.

Thanks for the info, I replaced the harness and the ROTS and ORPS. I also changed the oil rail itself but we think it may be leaking. Tomorrow, I will be looking at the oil rail for leak. I am hoping that the leak if there is one, is between an injector and the oil rail not the ends of the oil rail. The oil rail end caps come off easily but the oil rail ends are so tight.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel i get a intermittent miss in mine when idling , when i slow down stop at traffic lights it will run rough for 15 seconds then come good for 15/20 seconds and start the rough running for a few seconds but drives good dont know what it is

​@@pkgoldopalhuntingI have the same problem but only when the motor cold rough idling

@@robbo7822 Maybe the ORPS or RPCV is playing up? You'd need a Tech 2 to get some data while it is rough running, using a snapshot. I videoed my tech 2 readout and my son had a look and we decided I had a leak somewhere on the oil rail.

I've never heard of this before but I would expect it is a broken cable. Have a look at your battery cables especially the ones that go to the starter. Also, check the injector harness plug near the oil dipstick. That can get oil in it and it can cause strange issues. Give it a clean with electrical contact cleaner.

It always is different to what we expect. It just takes someone on the inside...lol

That is interesting because I always thought that AvGas was pretty much Parrafin.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel was a high octan fuel they use it on smaller planes ,jets use kero which they call it jet fuel

@@pkgoldopalhunting Even though I was in the Air Force I never was involved with refuelling planes. Sorry, I just assumed?

And so do I now but up to this point I never learned my lesson

I went to a local cafe and had soup and when I returned and asked for soup they said we are not making it any more because nobody hardly bought it. So, I said well you aren't selling any now are you? Why not fix the issue, make it to order and not in bulk and sell what you sell? Never thought of that had they?

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel true mate soup can stand in fridge for a few days if not more can make small pot say 4 serves i think that will sell in 1 or 2 days, if you haven't got it you wont sell it

@@pkgoldopalhunting My point is that nobody keeps anything now if it doesn't sell, gone are the days when there were hardware stores where you could buy anything. The Two Ronnies 4 Candles sketch, like that.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel true mate i build most off my own gear out of other peoples rubbish its a throw away society now and every one screams recycle and climate change they need to take a good look at them selves starting with the government over paid thieves

Hi and thanks for the questions, however, I really am not too sure about those questions and everyone I know has a 4JX1T. If I were honest, I think I would message Chris Szkwarek (admin) on the 4jx1 decompile/learning project Facebook page. He will know and if not he will know who to ask. Also, my son Rob may have some idea too, they are the first two pictures of the members on the cover page. facebook.com/groups/264658247280734 Sorry I could help more

When I bought an aftermarket turbo from eBay it had the wrong gasket and was set to 8psi. So, I asked for a gasket and he just gave me my money back and told me to keep the turbo?

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel you must of been lucky mate i must of bough from the wrong seller i ended up making one up out of 2 that i had the one that i bought was set low i think about 8/9 psi running 21 psi now

@@pkgoldopalhunting I'm told that the ECM will not allow too much boost. I was told 21 psi but as you are running this it must be more?

My cylinder head issue was caused by a turbo problem seemed to stem from the turbo waste gate was wound up to get 19psi and it wasn't opening and allowing the boost to release.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel on mine it lets it go that high i never tried any higher, i dont drive it flat out in the hills all time on hard long pulls just lift foot a tad and watch the pyro meter , goes good

Buy a special tool from Chris who runs the 4JX1 Decompile/ project FaceBook Channel, they work best.

Yes, but the delays through weather and waiting for parts is just mind numbing

Yes, I will do that

They are good as long as the head isn't too loose.

They can be tightened.​@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel

Maybe captions while music is on.

It's not the camera it is me

We were coming up in March this year but his Jeep karked it and the engine was garbage so it got scrapped.

I may still travel up there but it won't be until 2025 now.

I have two old oil rails however, I did order a couple on eBay but they came today, the wrong size and even the pins in the plug are wrong. As soon as Find some I will let you know. They aren't changed that often so if you can find an old oil rail there will be one in it, you'll need a 19mm socket (long reach)

If you want genuine, but from Ibrahim at Rahmin Auto in Dubai. I can let you know the email if you wish. However, I did see some genuine ones on eBay but they were majorly expensive more than the ORPS, around $450

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel ok thak you i dont know why its getting a miss in engine at idle not really when cold looks like when engine is warmed up after driving it for 5 or 10 min so was thinking mite be the oil rail temp sensor let us know when you get the correct one cheers

@@pkgoldopalhunting Will do but I reckon you'd be better off getting hold of a Tech 2 and looking at your data. For example a misfire could be as simple as the injector harness plug requiring cleaning? Tech 2 will give you more idea as my ORTS was stuck on 29 degrees.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel ok will try to borrow a tec 2 if any one has one close thanks

Yes, but both Chris and I still think there is an injector issue. I have had 2 injector failures over the years and the symptoms were so similar that I still think its this issue. So much so, that I am going to pursue those first before the RPCV. Sorry.

I just wish it was running well.

@@thejackaroo4WDcampingchannel me to mate it gets like that with these vehicles
