  1. Hi aussieterrano,

     

    I've found that that's normal for the TD27/auto combo, easing off the gas usually makes it slip into next gear and gives a bit more acceleration but dont expect much out of a 23 year old engine with under 100hp

  2. So my first thought here is actually a question for you... Are you sure they actually need replaced or are you potentially just throwing money down the drain? Have you re-indexed them several times in that 10yrs only to have them sag again and again? If not then my opinion on this is, and it is just my opinion, remove them, sand (treat for rust if needed, but doubtful)spray several thin coats with a good tough and long lasting paint then re-index them as you reinstall. Odds are it will be another 10yrs before you even think bout them again.

     

    Agreed, if it's just a bit of surface rust and they aren't sagging then it's a waste of money replacing them when a sand and re-coat will do the job

  3. I'd suggest checking ball joints, tie rods, centerlink first, one (or more of them) is probably responsible for the slack,I had similar play before replacing all of them, once there right then my next bet would be a wheel alignment

  4. I'm in the same boat as you. I do go to the snow sometimes. I do little off road.

     

    I went with a little less aggressive tire so I could head the radio when going down the road. I bought Hancook Dynapro AT. They clear the mud out of the tread well. I did plow through some deep snow and had no issues.

     

    I'm not saying to go buy them. Just a suggestion.

     

    The Dynapro MT are a good choice as well and are quiet for a mud tire, been running them for a few months now and cant hear them at all although that could be down to having the diesel and a decent sound system :unsure:

  5. What kind of a trailer did you get? I just picked up a 10' enclosed utility trailer and a 9' x 6' (inside) camper trailer. Both free and both within a couple of miles from home. Nice to pull out the camper that had sat there for over 25 years on flats and didn't even need the 4 wheel drive. My collection now goes from 4' ATV trailer to a 29' Fleetwood...it's so nice to tow stuff home because you've got a truck that can pull it.

     

    managed to pick up a 6x4 box thats been half converted into a camper trailer for $250, needs a bit of rust cut out but thats not a problem then finish the conversion
