As i said in another thread, my fuel economy seems to be worse, and there is this vibration iat 60km in 4th, that dissapears at 64km/h. But yet if im in 3rd or 5th at the same speed it doesnt do it. Its wierd. Im taking it back the guy who rebuilt it said he will remove the diff, and get the...

Well according to that calculation 10.2-11 I am gettin is normal then ? Only other thing when i bought it the guy told me he was putting this diesel power shit in the fuel, he gave me his leftover bottle, and i was using it for a couple months, maybe that gave me a little bit extra in KM...

Yeah what originally raised my suspisions was the gauge, but then i did as suggested ie refilling and measure litres etc, and that is where i noticed the 50-70km difference per tank..... Ive did the air filter when i did the fuel filter, have had balance and alignment done also, still no...

My 4x4 non turbo Diesel Nav just seems to have SHIT fuel economy since i had the gearbox rebuilt, and just before it went in for the rebuild i changed the fuel filter. Im wondering if i did something with the filter, or if it was the box rebuild that has affected my economy ? I used to get...

Non Turbo TD27 Diesel. Yeah bigger tyres but nothing extravagent. Since ive ha the gearbox rebuilt it seems to be using more fuel, and reeving higher.

Will a bullbar off a 2wd bolt onto a 4x4 d21 ?

Just wondering what everyones RPM sits on when doing 100km in 5th on a flat freeway ? Mine sites just under 3000 sometimes a little over depending on the grade of road, to me it seems a bti high ?

It seems to be running slow, like struggling or low powered, since the rebuild. Like i put my foot down in 4th and have to put it to the floor to get up speed, just seems like something is holding it back? Any ideas? either way im taking it back to the rebuild shop to ask them about it next weekl.

Wow second hand or reco 4x4 diesel boxes are rare as rocking horse shit ! Mine started to wine in 2nd and 3rd, then 1 and 5..... booked it in was hoping only a layshaft or bearing, but ended up having to be rebuilt, all up cost me $1600 , and had to go back one cause the suspension sank (the...

Fixed teh gauge problem was loose wiring, after doing that simple test by earthing to the block, thanks for that ! Now its just the whirring sound, possibly power steering pump or other bearing not sure, will get it checked, it only does it certain rpm.

Yeah the radiator and pump are both only 10,000km old, no leaking anywhere, coolant still green as grass in the radiator, will take to mechanic let them sort it, but that wouldnt explain the temp gauge jumping and shaking like a bitch would it?

Can anyone tell me how i crank up the idle for a diesel navara? Im new to diesels so yeah i have no idea. On idle its real low like 500rpm, want to wind it up to 700 or 800.

So i wont need a full water pump just the hub ?

The fan moves quite easily, same as when the engine is cold as it does when hot. Maybe its new water pump time? Thouhgh im sure its only 10000km old.......

Checked the fan, nothing rubbing, all fluids are full. Will search the forums for the fan hub issue.
