Thanks Guys, I did put a piece of paper over the drain pipe while running the vehicle through the rev range and I couldn't get it to suck the paper to the pipe. Like you were saying Tony it seem to be under positive pressure, of course I didn't test under engine brake, but that would have only...

Thanks Guys, Feeling a little better now. I pulled everything apart and can't find much dust anywhere in the can or the inlet pipe to the manifold. Usually when dust and oil mix they form a gritty sludge but definitely none of that. I have driven a few gravel roads but not too many thankfully...

Thanks old Tony, I am going to try and take yours and Leprechauns advice. I love my truck and feel pretty gutted right now. Cheers

Oh Shit, I have probably done more harm than good, is the only way to check the amount of damage through a compression test? Cheers

Hi Guys, Just wanted know how much damage I may have done to my motor. I hooked up a Forefront industries catch can about 2 months back and didn't hook up the drain at the bottom to anything but a small piece of pipe, and didn't block it off either. I am wondering how much dusty air I may have...

Hi Guys, Is the Plazmaman one made from metal and the forefront from silicone. Is either any better than the other? Cheers

I went to 265/75/16(same size as 265/70/17) in 2010 st auto. Did notice power decrease especially going up hills. Most noticeably was diesel consumption went up significantly. I lost 75km a tank and I drive very easy, but they were also mud tyres, so this May account for some of that too. Loved...

Hi Guys, I have seen on the YD25 webpage that they have a kit that removes the pipe that goes into the inlet manifold and may effect flow as part of the EGR block. Is this neccessary or a better thing to do than just the plate? Also have many people with DPF done the EGR mod and had no...

Hi, Has anyone else removed the muffler and left the rest standard to achieve better fuel economy? I am chasing anything I can get and that wouldn,t cost a lot to have done. Also where is the CAT? I have a 2010 st Thai Auto with DPF, is the cat part of the DPF? or is it in front of that? Cheers

Genuine or Rico? Hi, is it necessary to use genuine fuel filter or is a Rico or equivalent okay for the fuel filter?

Thanks Shorty, I had an idea that the bigger tyres would travel further every revolution but didn't know how to work it out exactly. Followed your help, with the bigger tyres being about 5% bigger and at 500kms it adds 25kms to distance travelled. Can I ask if going from your 265/70/16 to...

Thanks guy,

Hi all, I just changed the tyres on my 2010 d40 Thai auto from the standard 255/70/16 to a set of 265/75/16 Hankook Dynapro M/ts. The fuel economy prior seemed good, was getting 600+ kms to a tank. I have only just brought the vehicle so didn't do lots of testing before changing the tyres. I...

Hi all I decided on these tyres as well, great reviews across the net, look great too. Having them fitted on Thursday will post some reviews once I have tested them. Cheers Troutnut

Hi all, Thanks for all the feedback and I pulled the trigger. Finally go the Nav in the driveway. Will take the advice and keep her well serviced and looked after. I will be using it mainly for fishing trips so no hardcore off roading but will be some back country tracks to test her on. She...
